On August 9, 2002, persons in Butler County, Ohio and Franklin County, Indiana reported a UFO in the evening skies. The object was seen from several vantage points across state lines and was a police concern for an extended duration. In the days to follow, an investigation of the incident was launched.
This afternoon I spoke with Mrs. Stephenson (named changed, on-file), a resident of Wayne Madison Road near Trenton, Ohio. Mrs. Stephenson reported a UFO sighting to the Butler County Sheriffâs Department on Friday evening, August 9, 2002. Her telephone number was listed on that police report. Mrs. Stephenson spoke freely of the occurrence and said that around dusk on Friday evening, she observed a star-like object to the west of her residence. She estimated the object was localized over the vicinity of Oxford, Ohio and also said this object was visible on 3 consecutive evenings previous to her call to the Butler County Sheriffâs Office.
She informed that her residence on Wayne Madison Road, near Route 73, is situated on a hill and affords her a good view of the western sky, and that in her 11-years of living at this location, she has never seen anything like this previously.
âIt was an unusual object,â she said, âvery bright and changing colors from red to green.â
Mrs. Stephenson said she thought it would be best to report the object to the Butler County Sheriffâs Department, and contacted them at their non-emergency telephone number.
According to a CAD Operations Report released to researcher Donnie Blessing by the Butler County Sheriffâs Office, Mrs. Stephenson placed the call at 9:30 p.m. on Friday, August 9. The officer arrived on the scene at 9:43 p.m.
âThe officer was taken back by this object,â she said, âhe had no explanation for it.
âHe had no idea what this was, and said that even though he doesnât believe in UFOs, it may have been an alien.â
Mrs. Stephenson said both she and the officer observed the object through her binoculars (hand-held). She said the object appeared like an âumbrella of lightâ that she compared to the spread of exploding fireworks receding downward, changing colors from red to green.
Mrs. Stephenson said the object was still visible as the officer left at 9:55 p.m. (according to the CAD operations report).
âWhen my husband arrived home from work around 10:15 p.m., the object was barely visible and much lower on the horizon,â she said.
Before his departure, the officer recommended that Mrs. Stephenson report the sighting to a radio station. She did so around 10:30 p.m., calling a local Middletown, Ohio area radio station. But to the best of her knowledge, the call was not particularly productive in any way. The following evening, Mrs. Stephenson told her neighbors (5-acres away) about the sighting, but they were unaware of the occurrence.
When asked if there were any particular flight characteristics that would rule out this object being a star, Mrs. Stephenson said: âI donât know. It could have been a star.â
Although Mrs. Stephenson says that she has not seen anything quite like this in the 11-years of residing on Wayne Madison Road, she does report an interesting event taking place in May of â93.
She said that she went to her window to see why dogs were barking furiously outside her home and saw a large area of light illuminating the ground near the dogs.
This was described as a soft, diffused area of light that seemed to have been caused by a beam shone from above. She could see the beam through the air but could not discern its source in the sky
(Note: the time-frame of this sighting was during a spate of UFO activity reported near Trenton, Monroe, Waynesville and Lebanon, Ohio. Most notable during the activity reported during the spring of â93 was the UFO Incident at the Lebanon Correctional Institute happening on April 8, 1993). NOTE:THE ABOVE IMAGE IS C.G.I.
