EMPIRE, OHIO

In far eastern Ohio, at the nexus of the borders with West Virginia and Pennsylvania on the Ohio River, truck driver Tim Comstock was on Route 7 north of the town of Empire, Ohio, at 3:45 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 23, 2008.

Comstock was also interviewed by Howe and her detailed report on his sighting is on Earthfiles.com.

As he drove through the early morning hours, Comstock stopped his truck when he saw other drivers pulled over to the side of the road. They were looking at something. He soon discovered what it was.

He said, "It was a white light with a little bit of orange inside of it. It had a little bit of red and the shape just seemed so strange to me because it seemed like a biological shape."

Comstock told Howe, "It didn't look like anything mechanical by any means. To me, it looked like a cocoon. When I saw it, I was trying to take everything in and that's immediately what I thought when I saw it – that it was organic. That's the feeling that I got. I didn't think it could be anything else. It just came across as something organic."

But then he saw something else. "As the large white-orange object was rising up, it looked like it was going into the center of the triangle of blue lights. At first glance when I saw the triangle of lights and rising, glowing object, I could not process what was going on."

Comstock said, "As the white-orange object got closer to the triangle of lights, I could see from reflected light that the underside of the inside of the triangle pattern of blue lights was one object – one very, very large object. When I saw it with my naked eye, I saw the bottom of the craft and it looked like it was very flat."

The military veteran who worked in the helicopter aviation field while in the service said the craft above was "about the size of a large shopping mall and parking lot."

His photos, taken with a cell phone camera, captured both the glowing object and the three lights of the larger object above. The photos are posted on Earthfiles.com.
