"The object appeared to look like a star or cross, and had a mass of something at the junction of where the vertical and horizontal parts met," the reporting witness stated.
"The object did not appear to be powered and was simply floating northbound. The object did not have any lights or other shiny parts. I was too far away from the object to detect if it made any sound. I am unsure of its elevation, but it was well above the treetops."
The witness reports being "transfixed" by the object and determined to give chase.
"I remarked that it looked like something mechanical (like a contraption from the late 19th Century).":
Stow is in Summit County in northeast Ohio, population 33,899. The witness provided an illustration (pictured) of the object. On September 14, 2009, there was a report of the Bigfoot creature in Stow.
The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Ohio MUFON State Director William E. Jones investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update.
Ohio, March 31, 2010 - star or cross shaped object in sky, no lights or power. MUFON Case # 22584.
At approximately 8:05PM EST, I was traveling westbound in my car on Fishcreek Road in Stow Ohio. I then observed the object in the sky to the Northwest, above a McDonald's restaurant. At first glance, I thought the object was someone on a motorized paraglider. Upon further viewing, it was NOT a paraglider.
The object appeared to look like a star or cross, and had a mass of something at the junction of where the vertical and horizontal parts met. The object did not appear to be powered and was simply floating northbound. The object did not have any lights or other shiny parts. I was too far away from the object to detect if it made any sound. I am unsure of its elevation, but it was well above the treetops.
After turning right onto Darrow Rd (Rt. 91) I still observed the object moving at a modest speed. I turned left into a McDonald's parking lot, circled the building, then got back onto Darrow Rd. to give chase (traveling northbound).
I had the object in sight until I turned left onto Terex Rd. I traveled approximately 1/4 mile on Terex Rd. and then made a u-turn heading back towards Darrow Rd. At that point I could no longer see the object. My last view of the object was at the intersection of Darrow Rd. and Terex Rd.
During the entire event I was transfixed by seeing the object and was determined to give chase. I was so excited/confused that I did not think to pull out my iPhone to capture a photo or a video.
This object was observed by myself and my 17 year old daughter. I remarked that it looked like something mechanical (like a contraption from the late 19th Century).
