Strange Green Lights over Middletown, Ohio
On the night of Wednesday (June 21) around 10:30, numerous people in Middletown, Ohio, saw what they described as rotating green lights in the sky.
One observer, Caden Little, videotaped the objects. “I instantly thought like, we’re under attack [by] aliens,” he told reporters. “It was scary. ... A bunch of people stayed around because people, were like, terrified.” While there was no attack, Little was admittedly somewhat disturbed by the experience. “Like most things, when it flies away, you can kind of see it leave, but this one, it would zip and in like two seconds, it was out of sight,” he said.
Bryce Garrick, another witness, was driving when he saw the lights, which, he recalled, seemed to be moving in a clockwise motion, then hovering before jetting across the sky and disappearing.
Bryan Simpson, president of the Cincinnati Astronomical Society, observed that the speed at which the lights were moving was way too fast for a drone. Although he admitted he had no idea what people saw, he said it was easy to fake these type videos. “I think the real test of authenticity is if you get a lot of reports of the same thing. Otherwise, it’s probably fake. And by lots, I want to see at least 20 different reports,” he explained. “This is so easy to fake with off-the-shelf motion graphics software for TikTok Likes.”
Despite the number of people who witnessed the unidentified object in the sky, the Butler County Sheriff’s Office denied receiving any calls about the lights.
