A group of witnesses at a Howland, OH, soccer game watched a high-flying, white object in the shape of a "Z" that emitted a white beam of light from its western-most side and then instantly "vanished" on October 12, 2010, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
"The closest shape above would be compared to a boomerang, but one side of the object was facing the opposite direction of another point, giving the object a "Z"-like appearance," the reporting witness stated.
The object appeared to be silent as the group watched.
"Also, the object made absolutely no audible noise, nor did it emit any type of visible exhaust. We discussed what it could be, while staring at this incredibly high, white, object. Right before our eyes, it began emitting a white light out of the western-most side of the object. The light did not flash, blink, or flicker; it was a constant white beam, but it was not bright, and was still barely noticeable."
Then the object simply vanished.
"After about 3 minutes of staring at this object, it had vanished right before our eyes. My reactional thought process was 'there is no way.'"
Howland Center is in Trumbull County, Ohio, population 6,481. No images or video were submitted with the MUFON report, which was filed on October 13, 2010.
On October 13, 2010, a woman in Lewis Center took video of an object at ground level in Video: 'Translucent spherical object' photographed at ground level. Also on October 13 in Ohio, we reported on, Father-son drive under 'bus size' cigar-shaped UFO hovering under 200 feet.
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. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
OH, October 12, 2010 - At a soccer game, saw slow moving, extremely high u.f.o. MUFON Case # 25858.
At a soccer game yesterday in Howland, our team was sitting on the field stretching. I went to stretch my quads and laid on my back with my leg under me. As I stared up, I noticed how clear the sky was, and I could see the moon perfectly. Then, as my eyes scanned the sky, I noticed an object that I jokingly pointed out to my friends as "a Russian spy-plane!"
As I stared at this strange aircraft, I noticed that it was extremely high, and was white in color (against the blue sky), with the shape of a "Z". The closest shape above would be compared to a boomerang, but one side of the the object was facing the opposite direction of another point, giving the object a "Z"-like appearance. It was common knowledge that no regular aircraft took that shape or could fly at such a high altitude, moving so unbearably slow across the sky away from the moon (moving southwest). Also, the object made absolutely no audible noise, nor did it emit any type of visible exhaust. We discussed what it could be, while staring at this incredibly high, white, object. Right before our eyes, it began emitting a white light out of the western-most side of the object. The light did not flash, blink, or flicker; it was a constant white beam, but it was not bright, and was still barely noticeable.
After about 3 minutes of staring at this object, it had vanished right before our eyes. My reactional thought process was "there is no way...that could NOT have been a U.F.O.", as I tried to think of logical explanations for the sudden complete disappearance of this object, in the cloudless sky. I truly believe, after thinking about it all night, that this MUST have been a U.F.O.... no aircraft known to man would hover at such a high altitude, moving incredibly slowly, and vanish instantly.

I've reffed games here twice the previous week. Not discounting the eyewitness testimony, but there is an air force base maybe 5-10 miles from this site. Food for thought.
you're correct. air force bases are quite common.
your point?
I saw a light that night at my house in Oquaga lake , Deposit New York. I couldn't sleep, at 3am went down stairs and stood at kitchen sink drinking glass of water.
Looked out the window saw a beam of light, blueish white, not bright, about a 3 foot beam landing about 5 feet out the window in the middle of my drive way. I opened the back door to look where the moon was and saw it was at a different angle to the beam. I didn't go any futher, went back inside and looked at it again, it was a weak beam of light very shinning right down from the sky.
I went back upstairs to sleep and mentioned it to my brother the next day. Now after all this with UFO's in N.Y.C. It was pretty amazing to think maybe it was from a U.F.O.
