Just caught some traffic from Brunswick and Medina of a UFO. Many calls to both departments.
UFO's over Medina?

Well......I suppose ......lol
I did not hear that, but I did see something strange.
I was coming home from getting groceries, heading WB on US-224 on Akron's far east side. I saw two white lights hovering toward the west-southwest. It is not unusual to see lights from planes heading either to Akron Fulton or Akron-Canton.
I watched the lights as I drove for several minutes. They didn't change position in the sky or relative to each other. I did think with a chuckle that it must be a UFO. At least I'm not the only one that saw something.
As much of a sci-fi fan as I am, you'd think I would be more open to the idea of UFOs. I will say it would be nice to know we are not alone in the universe.
The concept of UFOs is flawed for several reasons:
1) what I saw was a UFO. I didn't know what it was (Unidentified). It was in the air (Flying). It was something (an Object).
2) If ETs have been visiting us since (some say) prehistoric times and didn't want to make themselves known, why do they allow us to keep seeing them. Turn off the lights!!

Cue the X Files music...............
What you saw was Jupiter and Venus. Tomorrow night you get to see Jupiter, Venus and the moon.

International Space Station?
I live in Newark, and they were west-southwest from hear. I heard on the radio that the International Space Station and Shuttle (which just undocked from the space station) would be visible, however they said in the north sky. I pulled up a tracking program that said it wouldn't even be visible.
I don't know, but it was very bright with no stars visible and I was going to set my camera up and take a few pics, but lost interest when tracking program said it was not the space station.

Did it look like the picture on this webpage? http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/home/35217944.html

Yes.
One on top of the other, slightly offset. I guess I didn't think about planets/stars. I didn't see any others in the sky, so I figured had to be something else.
No biggy. Live and learn. In the famous words of Jack Horkheimer.... "Keep looking up"
