Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.
Brian Vike’s Note: I typed up the report from a letter the witness sent to me, I also added the letter below.
An article on UFO's in this issue of The Morning Journal prompted this letter to you. I have read everything I can find on this subject, but I haven't seen anything describing what my husband and I saw. I didn't realize anyone was still investigating these things.
My husband died in December 1997 and he was still somewhat healthy at the time of this incident, which I now place in the summer of 1994 or 1995.
We were coming home late in the evening from Poland, Ohio after visiting with my brother and his wife. About a half mile from 5 Stops intersection on RT. 7 South, (a secondary road not traveled much in the evenings) I noticed a rather large, somewhat translucent (but you actually couldn’t see through it) yellow ball to the right of us, hovering just above the treetops. I pointed it out to my husband who said it was a spotlight from the Youngstown Airport. I have no idea where the airport was located in reference to our own location.
I should point out that at the time, my husband worked for USAir at Greater International Airport in Pittsburgh, PA as a ground service mechanic.
As we traveled, the ball stayed just in front of us, just above the treetops. As I watched it, three smaller balls, red, blue and green, also translucent, left the yellow one and, like balls, bounced through the air, across the road to the treetops on that side of the road.
They bounced around and almost seemed to be playing tag. If they strayed to far, they suddenly bounced back across the road to the big yellow ball. Sometimes they merged with the larger one, sometimes they bounced around it. In the years since, I always think of them as if they were children, out playing. If they strayed to far from “Mom”, they were called back to her.
They stayed in front of us until we reached the outskirts of E. Liverpool, OH which is about 25 mile drive. Obviously not a spotlight from the Youngstown Airport. As we were approaching the light of town, the little balls literally zoomed back into the bigger one and for the first time, we were in front of it.
As I turned in the car to watch it, it quickly accelerated and was gone. I never took my eyes off of it. It was just not there. My husband always insisted it was spotlights. I don’t believe that for a second.
When we got home I called my sister-in-law and told her what we had seen. She laughed and said that her and my brother had seen strange things on that road and if she told me what it was I wouldn’t believe her. I asked her what it was and she said if she told me she’d have to kill me. Joking f course. To this day, she hasn’t told me. My brother has passed on and nobody enjoyed a joke like he did so I don’t know if this was a joke or not. Since my sister-in-law told it, I believed her.
Years before, same road, two men I worked with at the time has a harrowing experience late at night, but it is very similar to other things I have read so for the purpose of not rambling on like an idiot, I won’t get into that episode.
I would love to hear from you if you have any other reports similar to mine.
Thanks for your time and patience.
Thank you to the lady for relating the story to me.
