THEY RPTD THAT THE OBJECTS COULD NOT BE SEEN IF THEY TURNED OFF THERE LIGHTS. ONE OF THE SMALL OBJECTS TURNED ON A SPOTLIGHT WHERE THE LARGE OBJECT HAD BEEN BUT MOBILE 02 COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING, AND THEN THE OBJECT SEEMED TO DISAPPEAR.
    ANOTHER OBJECT APPROACHED MOBILE 02 APPROX. 500 YDS. OFFSHORE ABOUT 20 FT. ABOVE THE ICE, AND IT BEGAN MOVING CLOSER AS MOBILE 02 BEGAN FLASHING ITS HEADLIGHTS, THEN IT MOVED OFF TO THE WEST.
    THE CREWMEMBERS WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY ANY OF THE OBJECTS.
     
                For a month after the night the Coast Guard got buzzed, MUFON reported the sightings continued unabated. Then MUFON reported a black helicopter was seen flying tree-top level over a home of some witnesses. The helicopter was observed by five individuals from three separate residences. Here’s what the witnesses told MUFON: “The unmarked and unlit helicopter had a military appearance as it approached slowly from the west, making a loud sound peculiarly similar to that made by a small airplane rather than a helicopter.” The apparently windowless craft was observed to fly eastward, before turning to the south and disappearing over a line of trees. It also caused “snow” on a television screen.
                Michael Lee Hill, on the other hand, says he’s never been stalked by black helicopters or approached by federal agents for that matter. But unlike Hill, who has been tagged a fraud, and John Knaub, who sounds as if he’s still in the strong-armed grip of some secret US government office that wants him to remain silent or else ( even after twenty years post-sighting), there are those who live near Lake Erie that are not only credible, but not afraid to be open and confident about what they saw.
                Ted Henry is a retired broadcast news reporter from Cleveland. He is like family to many in the region. His credibility and trust-worthiness is iron cast. His vision is like the cameras used by his news station. So when Henry talks about his UFO experience, even the most hardcore doubters are left pondering our place in the universe.
                “So here I come walking out of the TV station one night in November maybe a decade ago after our early evening newscast,” he says. “In perfect formation there were five large objects flying smoothly in my direction – It was stunning. What I saw was the undersides of five flat objects flying in exact formation. The front two were enormous, maybe the size of several football fields and the three trailing were smaller flying in a slightly irregular pattern.”
                Similar sights were made locally and in Kentucky and Pennsylvania. Henry says what he saw may have been space junk, what several so-called experts were telling local media.
                “What do I think they were? All I can really tell you is what I saw.”
                Henry has talked about his sighting many times on the air. He puts the experience this way: “One thing is certain, for people who see something in the sky, as I did over Cleveland years ago, it can be a life-changing experience.”

                For a year, Bruce Gagnon had the same nagging feeling. That someone or some people were on the edges of his life, trying hard to look in. Were they parked around the block in their black Ford SUV with tinted windows? Or like a cyberspace shadow, could they be following every move he made on the Internet? He just knew it. Something wasn't quite right. Or was he just being paranoid? Was his status as the director of one of world’s fastest growing arms-control movements getting the best of him?
                Then Gagnon received an unexpected phone call. It was a lawyer from Florida’s American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU lawyer right away told him: You and your family
