SKY-GAZERS MISTAKE PLANETS FOR UFOS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Visitors from another planet have nothing to do with the UFOs which
|
||
|
|
were reported along the lake shore Friday and Saturday nights. But,
|
||
|
|
according to the Coast Guard, the planets Jupiter and Venus are involved.
|
||
|
|
When the US Coast Guard at Fairport Harbor received reports Friday
|
||
|
|
night of UFOs in the sky, it checked with area airports to learn what
|
||
|
|
their radar indicated.
|
||
|
|
"We thought it might be someone in trouble setting off flares," said
|
||
|
|
Petty Officer John Knaub. "So we investigated ourselves."
|
||
|
|
Coast Guard members saw the lights over the lake about 1/4 mile east
|
||
|
|
of the mouth of the Chagrin River. "But Lost Nation Airport advised us
|
||
|
|
that we were seeing the planets Jupiter and Venus, which are lined up
|
||
|
|
together in the sky. Apparently the gases in the atmosphere created the
|
||
|
|
appearance of smaller objects around them."
|
||
|
|
The UFO reports rolled in again Saturday night, when the sky
|
||
|
|
remained clear and was dominated by a full moon.
|
||
|
|
Knaub said the phenomena is visible around 9PM, as skygazers look
|
||
|
|
west along the lake from Fairport Harbor.
