UFO's over Ohio June 13th 2012 10pm

I put this detail in when I reported my video of the UFO's I captured on Wednesday June 13th 2012 at 10:10PM. In Ohio.

A friend and I were leaving the Macedonia, Ohio movie theater when we first noticed about 15 of these objects flying over route 8 we were heading south and they were headed NW which looked to be towards the City of Cleveland. We doubled back and I decided to turn down E. Highland Road when we saw just one of the objects. I pulled into a closed for the night Fat Casuals BBQ and grabbed the Canon Powershot SX30 IS I had in my backseat. The first object was brightly lit and I fumbled around with the camera, but before I got it recording the objects light blinked out and all we could see was a gray lit object that just sped away out of site.

Then over to the North of us came the three objects that I was able to record on the camera. They did not look like Hot Air Balloons I have seen those at night and they are on the ground and not in the air at night. There wasn't any sound of jet planes nor did we hear the distinct sound of helicopters.

I tracked them for 1 minute and 34 seconds before they were completely gone. At 0.55 in the Video two of the objects took off away from the one I was primarily focused on a short difference which is where I moved the camera a bit watching them off camera.

After they moved off a bit they both just took off and disappeared one headed South East and the other due South. The one in my video that I keep the camera on continued SSW and eventually into a cloud that was up in the sky and we didn't see them anymore that evening.

Here is what I saw and recorded;

Welcome to the board.....interesting video.
Definitely qualifies as 'ufos' .
It looked like the flight patterns at the end were erratic on at least one of the lights. I always wonder, assuming they are actual alien craft, why they would want to fly around in such an erratic manner.

I watched this with interest. Have you had a chance to make any stills and do any measurements of relative distance, or angles? The three most prominent points of light make a sort-of triangle and they do seem to hold the same distance from one another (although they rotate) - until the zoom is activated.

The only thing I have done with this video is break it down frame by frame. Being there was a very in awe experience to say the least. My female friend who is a Physics and Chemistry teacher for East Community Development Center in Akron, Ohio can't explain what we saw either. I tried very hard to keep the camera steady. I know trying to focus in close to the objects as they were moving across the sky just didn't happen. The Canon Powershot SX30 IS is a great point and shoot camera that I have manage to even use to create professional looking photographs of many different kinds of subjects in Ohio. I didn't have any time to grab the tripod out of my trunk nor grab my Canon 60D with a 24mm - 200mm EF-S lens attached to it. I was just happy I had the SX30 IS in the backseat. My brother is in town with family this week so next week when he is on his way back home I'll examine the frame by frame more closely. I do have my own company that works on various software products so that takes up a lot of my daytime free time. I'll be looking at the frames more closely to see if there is more to see than just what is happening on the video as the event happened. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for sharing the video and welcome.

[ChrisPerridas]

I look forward to your analysis, and any other memories you have of the event while they are still fresh. Have you had a chance to go back to that location and shoot a comparison footage of the same area of the sky? It was a great idea to capture that telephone pole as an exact point of reference.

Hi Chris, I will do that one day this week before the week is up in the evening at the same time around 10pm in the evening so you can see the area along with a day time video as well so you can see the area in the daytime.

Thanks for your private email Chris, and thank you everyone that has welcomed me to this very interesting forum thus far!

On June 2nd. 2012 on Lake Erie, I was out to shoot the sunset my first real sunset of the year. While I was photographing some birds on a rock at huntington beach Ohio, in Bay Village I captured these objects. I did not see them in the sky when I was taking the photographs. I snapped 7 frames in 1.5 seconds in sports mode on the Canon 60D I have with the 18mm - 200mm EF-S lens. When I got home and was reviewing the photographs I found on 5 of the Frames these objects that must have flew by quite rapidly because I didn't see them and no one else saw them as well. The Camera was on a tripod at the time focused on birds on a rock about 60 yards out in lake Erie, camera set in sports mode which a very fast frames per second. I can photograph 16 frames at 5.3 frames a second. The Canon 60D is a DSLR you see through the lens with this camera not at a digital eye video screen but the true subject or TTL, Through the lens. One could say "Oh look, dead pixels but what you need to understand I have only had the Canon 60D since last October 2011 and I had the camera at Canon at the beginning of the year for cleaning maintenance like I do with several of my cameras every year.

Canon corporation in NJ services my cameras, I am a Sliver Member of Canon Professional Services so I get 4 free cleanings every year. I know it is not dead pixels and I know the camera is shooting in excellent condition.

The camera is on a tripod so I am only pressing the shutter button in continuous sports shooting mode letting the cameras A.I. do all the focusing for me and shooting at high speed. The time is around 7:30pm or so. There is a storm coming in from the north so the sky is kind of dark orange and the Sun is nearly to the horizon line at this point.

I have no idea what these objects are, they are not in good focus because that is not what I am focusing on at the time. I circled the moving objects over 5 frames because again the camera is stationary and I am not holding the camera in my hands.

Again I didn't report these objects to the news, and posted the photograph on my Facebook which is for friends only and not public to view and see what they thought of the objects.

They look very much like the ones I caught at night with the Canon SX30 IS om the video. I have the CR2 Raw photographs and this one photograph is frames combined into one frame starting top down Frame 1 - 5 of the 7 frames. Frame 6 and 7 do not have any of these objects in them. Dead Pixels do not move across the screen they are stationary things so I know they aren't dead pixels.

Just the Link to keep the page format from getting over extended like Martin mentioned earlier. This photograph is on my Zen's Photography FTP page, when you get to it, the cursor should have a magnify glass with a plus on it so you can see the photograph real big.
