the object was a metallic ball.
Description of Area / Surroundings
it was seen on the edge a town.
i dont think it was near any important sites.there were power lines within a quarter mile of it.
Full Description & Details
i was driving along 25-A from Botkins Ohio to Wapakoneta.(traveling from south to north).for thows who dont know,wapakoneta is the birth place of neil armstrong,the first man on the moon.
right as i was entering wapak.i looked out my driver side window.and i saw this object.i had to dunk down alittle,cause the object was in a angle,if you compared it to a clock where 12.00 o'clock was looking forward.it was at 11.00 o'clock and at maybe 60 degrees upward.i think it was pretty close to the ground compared to thows videos on the history channel.hard to say how low.maybe 150 to 250 feet.there wasnt any other object around to campare it to.but i looked up once,thinking ,what is that?looked back at the road for acouple seconds.i then looked up again,looking at it for acouple seconds,really taking it all in,cause it was just siting in one spot,just floating there. i looked back at the road again.i might have stared at it afew more times real quick like.but after 10 seconds or so,it was gone.
i didnt bring it up to any one til afew months later, to a fellow co-worker who lives in the area.and they said that they had seen the same type of object more than once.
just for extra info,........wapakoneta is an hour north of dayton ohio.
