Ok, my observations were on November 12, and 13, 1977 in Newark, Ohio, in the United States. The first night, under clear skies at 7:45pm I saw what I would describe as a kind of "v" shaped or boomerang shaped object. The entire object was very slightly illuminated by a faded white light with a thin line of kind of a greenish glow near the leading "front" edge. (now this would be what I saw looking up at the "bottom" side of the object) I noticed it at
approximately zenith position and watched it move steadily, with absolutely no noise, north to south, for just under ten seconds until it could not be visually detectible. At the time I noted that it looked like it was a few hundred yards (meters) off the ground, but I just couldn't tell for sure, I also noted it could have been much higher (making it a huge object), but it was too difficult to tell. As I remember, it appeared to be slightly bigger in width than my two hands at arms length away. I think I will always believe it was some kind of aircraft or spacecraft.

The next evening at 8:15pm I saw a very dim, fuzzy ball of white light (kind of shaped like saturn, but the "rings" didn't extend out as far as they do with the planet). It looked a little smaller in the sky than what the moon is, only much much dimmer. It was in a very similar path as the "thing" the night before, but this moved much faster and I watched it move from about the zenith position in the sky to the southern horizon in close to five seconds. I have noted on my log, that I had observed four metors before I saw this. I did not note where the meteor were in the sky.

Now, you can assume and guess any "logical" normal earthy phenomenon or whatever you wish; just realize that I was there and you were not, and I still don't know what I saw. I would still like to hear ideas of what I observed other than Venus and weather balloons!!!!!!! LOL I guess "ball lightening" may be ruled out on the second night...? I can see how one may assume I saw another meteor on the second evening; just never saw anything like that before.
