Me and my wife were outside on our farm in Muskingum County Ohio on the night of May 9th 2026 around 11PM watching stars. No clouds, clear night, good moonlight.

Hard edge, very obvious silhouette against the sky. We could clearly make out the shape in the moonlight. It was house-sized, bell shaped, flat on the bottom, domed on top, with a small square cap at the very top that had one single light on it. Eight lights on the craft were flashing in a triangular pattern as it slowly rotated. I could make out what looked like windows. It was roughly 500 yards out, not directly overhead. It drifted slow and steady to the northwest in the direction of US Route 40. It covered my 4 acre field in about 3 to 4 minutes. We calculated that puts it at roughly 1.5 to 2 mph. It never changed speed, never changed altitude, just floated through and kept going until it was out of sight. Complete silence the entire time. No engine, no hum, no prop wash, nothing. Me and my wife separately drew sketches of what we saw without…
