An Ohio witness details a West Portsmouth UFO sighting on June 25, 2010, that was oval shaped and had two-dimensional qualities, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
"Oval to spherically shaped," the witness stated. "It's hard to tell the exact shape because it seemed, against the dark night sky, to be 2-D rather than 3-D. Quickly, but I have to admit I hesitated because I didn't want to lose sight of it, I went inside the house to get my mother."
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.
OH, June 25, 2010 - Flashing UFO in Ohio River Valley. MUFON Case # 23966.
Let me try to set the stage for my "UFO event."
My family and I live in West Portsmouth, Ohio.
My father has been in the VA Hospital in Hunnington for a few days, so my mother and I have been traveling back and forth for his stay. After yesterday's visit, I decided to drop my mother off at our home and go to work to pick up my pay check around 10:00 p.m. Friday night.
Upon my return, I pulled into our driveway, got out of my truck, and something, I don't remember what exactly, made me think to look toward the sky. I approximate that what I saw was above Carl Perkin's Bridge and moving along the river towards Lucasville, Ohio.
It was, as I remember, Oval to spherically shaped. It's hard to tell the exact shape because it seemed, against the dark night sky, to be 2-D rather than 3-D. Quickly, but I have to admit I hesitated because I didn't want to lose sight of it, I went inside the house to get my mother. I wanted her to confirm what I was seeing. She came outside, and sure enough, it was still traveling in the same area I had left it. My mom could see it too. Neither of us could think of what it might be. Often we've looked toward the sky and noticed planes overhead. But at the distance they fly above, they look like little bleeping lights.
What we saw, was not a commercial airliner.
Eventually, after we watched for a minute longer, the object continued to travel in line of the river toward Lucasville until it was no longer visible.
My discription in depth:
Imagine an apple core. The top and the bottom flared out... The middle area, I imagine must have been spinning quickly around the apple core axis, because it was slightly lighter in color.
As it began to fade off into the distance, it would blink blues and reds...or more like, twinkle.
As this is the end of my narrative, I must apologize for the constant use of "it." If I knew what "it" was, for sure, without a doubt, I would try to be more conscious of my redundancy.
Comments
The humidity in that area was 70% at 10 PM and there were clouds that day. I wonder if clouds or haze could be a factor in the flatness and the shape of the object?
International Space Station.

Go to the WLWT News website . The times it would be visible and where are given on various sites.
We saw it too.
I am not a scientist or a specialist in UFO and E.T matters, but i would like to know why UFOs are so shy and scared of crowded cities and places. And why all we get is witnesses are some blurry pictures and videos of them and why don't professional UFO hunters get state of the art cameras and equipment so that some day we could get a real clear videos and pictures of them. Because if you go to youtube all you see is blurry videos of UFOs. Some day i would like see a real clear good video of UFOs
I've seen ISS several times. It looks like a single star moving across the sky. No doubt it was something else.
FYI..I have never seen a UFO.
