Date: 26 September, 2016.

Place: Marietta, State of Ohio, United States.

On 28 September, UFO specialised website MUFON.com received an anonymous report about a very strange event that occurred in the small city of Marietta, Ohio, United States. According to this report, a pulsating light was seen flying above the town.

“I went to let the dog out, and stayed on the porch to wait for him”, the anonymous witness related. “It was a clear night and I looked up to see the stars (we are in a rural area, with little light contamination). It was then that I noticed the object. It was larger than the stars in the area, and it flashed/pulsated red/blue”, he continued.

The Marietta resident affirmed that he first thought it was a plane, but soon after he knew he was wrong. “I first thought it was a plane, heading away from me. Then as I watched, it moved up and down, then from right to left”, he said.

He immediately decided to call his wife for her to see the object, too. “I asked her to come out; then I asked if she saw anything. She pointed to the object, and said ‘it`s flashing blue and red’. Then she said ‘it`s moving’”.

He also gave some details about the features of the object and its flight pattern. “I went and got my binoculars and was able to tell that one half was red and the other blue. It was still moving, but, now was making a square with its movements. I thought the movement might be caused by my breathing, so I rested the binoculars on the porch railing. It continued to move”, he explained.

“Our view of the object was through a neighbour’s tree, and I thought that possibly the branches were moving and giving it the illusion of movement”, he said. “So, I walked out to the driveway, looking at it from the right of where I was, with no obstructions. It would hover then start making the square movement”, he commented.

Finally, the alleged UFO continued moving until it vanished beyond the horizon. “I noticed the object getting lower to the horizon, and realized it was moving away, to the south. Then I lost sight of it”, the unnamed observer added.

Long Description of Sighting Report

I went to let the dog out, and stayed on the porch to wait for him.

It was clear night and I looked up to see the stars(we are in a rural area, with n little light contamination) It was then that I noticed the object. It was larger than the stars in the area, and it flashed/pulsated red/blue.

I first thought it was a plane, heading away from me. Then as I watched, it moved up and down, then from right to left.

I went and got my binoculars and was able to tell that one half was red and the other blue. It was still moving, but, now was making a square with its movements.

I thought the movement might be caused by my breathing, so I rested the binoculars on the porch railing. It continued to move.

My wife called out and asked what I was doing, that the presidential debate was coming on soon. I asked her to come out, then I asked if she saw anything. She pointed to the object, and said "it`s flahing blue and red" Then she said "it`s moving"

Our view of the object was through a neighbors tree, and I thought that possibly the branches were moving and giving it the illusion of movement.

So, I walked out to the driveway ,looking at it from the right of where I was, with no obstructions. It would hover then start making the square movement.

I had my phone an attempted photos and a video, which, I`m sorry to say are not very good. Also at this time I observed to planes traveling towards the object, but, apparently at a higher altitude. The difference in lighting was very obvious.

It was then that I noticed the object getting lower to the horizon, and realized it was moving away, to the south. Then I lost sight of it.

I thought object might be star ,at first, but then it began moving.

I saw planes near it and there was a definite difference in appearance.

I was in the U.S. Air Force and worked with National Guard recently.

This was making movements that I have never seen and aircraft do,with the exception of helicopters. We have Guard helicopters flying near the house all the time and this did not look like one.

I had a long career in law enforcement and was trained to remain calm and observe. This I did and tried to rule out anything I could be confusing this with.

I`m certainly not saying this was an alien spacecraft or anything like that. I just don`t know what it was and that bothers me.
