Ohio ufo
© MUFON database.Witness image snapped from a cell phone April 5, 2009.
An Ohio couple and their three children watched as a slow-moving and silent orange colored "flaming light/ball" moved across the sky.

Seeing fire balls moving across the sky may not be anything anomalous, but what happened next does seem a bit unusual.

The family saw a second, and then a third similar-looking fireball - all in a row moving across the sky until they disappeared from sight.

The man's daughter snapped one frame from her cell phone - which captured just one of the objects.

The following is the unedited witness statement from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

Please keep in mind that many UFOs can be explained as something natural or manmade. If this case is investigated by Ohio MUFON Director Willilam Jones, we will report back with details.

Ohio, April 5, 2009 - 3 fire balls all flying above tree level no noise.They were big not small.

I was on my way home from a friend's house I had my family with me 5 of us in all wife daughter and twin 15 year old boys.

1of my sons noticed them first.

There was what looked like a flamming light/ball maybe moving rather slow but moving no sound at all.

We all kinda looked at each other as we watched then another 1 came right behind the first 1.They both went the same way. Then we saw the 3rd 1.

They were not moving fast but they were going up not down. Slowly 1 by 1 they disappeared into the sky up into the sky.

If I can figure out how to post a picture my daughter got a picture of 1 with her phone. Kinda just looks like an orange light.
