SIGHTING: MOUNT PERRY, OHIO (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I was outside looking at the stars a little after 9:00 pm. I noticed a white light with a flashing red light to the east. I thought it was too far up to be from a tower. When I went inside to go to bed I realized I had not gotten the mail. I got my keys and went back outside. The lights in the east were gone and then I noticed a large diamond shaped object going overhead. It had a white light on each point and a flashing red light. I had my phone in my pocket so I snapped a bunch of pictures while it passed over me. It continued on a straight course to the west and out of sight. I got my mail and went inside to look at the pictures. At first they looked like blank frames, but on one I noticed a pinprick of white. I zoomed in and cropped the image. I had to do this to all of the pictures to see the object. The whole time the object appeared to me as a diamond shape, but the pictures have different appearances. I have only lived out in the country for about five months. Three times I've seen what at first looked like a star in the east that then began moving in a north to south direction and then made a sharp right turn and continued moving west. The object I saw last night seemed large and quite low, much lower than an aircraft of that size would normally be traveling. Pictures taken on my phone appear smaller and farther away than in person. Hope the fact that I zoomed in and cropped them doesn't mess up what you need to see. "
