A large red glowing sphere was reported over the cities of Middletown and Carlisle, Ohio (between Cincinnati and Dayton) on the above dates. During the 20 minute duration on the 5th, multiple witness observed something detach itself fromm the object, but it dissipated before hitting the ground.
Witnesses included two Middletown police officers who observed the object with others hovering about 1000 feet over the Emergency Room at Middletown Hospital. According to their report, the object seemed to move from south to east in a slow speed. The officers reported that a red light was emitted and it seemed to fall towards the ground. This reminded them of a flare, although the sighting lasted much longer.
T.A.S.K. investigator, Kenny Young received a phone call on July 5th from Carlisle resident Denny Clayton who also watched the object along with many other people in town.
As this point information is sketchy, but TASK investigators do have a video of the object and will be analyzing it in the near future. WLW 700 Radio in Cincinnati picked up the story and were told by TASK that the case is still under investigation. We will release more information as it becomes available.
