Lima, Ohio: Two teenagers see large dark object pace their car

At 7:00 p.m. Matthew Woodard, 16, and Melinda Hays, 17, were driving toward Lima, Ohio, from the west on State Route 117. Crossing the bridge over the Ottawa River, they saw a large, dark object about 50–60 feet long hovering above trees on the right side of the road. It paralleled them as they turned left on Seriff Road. It had a rectangular upper section with a single steady white light on top and sloping sides with a red and a blue light on the lower left. The object eventually disappeared in the distance behind trees and houses. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
