Centerville couple convinced UFO appeared in sky
(free registration required)
DP&L, neighbor say transformer exploded

CENTERVILLE | A full moon shone over Centerville when a young mother nursing her 3-week-old baby at 5:30 a.m. saw the electricity go off and on, the tops of trees glow, and bright lights arcing outside.

Numerous 911 calls streamed into the Centerville Police Department from Lakeview Drive residents near Stingley Elementary School about explosions and electrical disruptions.

The couple, who asked that only their first names be used, said they saw an alien spacecraft hovering in the sky.

The March 8 event has an area UFO researcher claiming a cover-up by city officials who have shown disinterest in investigating.

[...]

Mark later described it as a disk-shaped ship "about the size of a small house. I thought it was a ship attacking in the night," he said. The ship appeared and disappeared over the school, and was gone by the time police arrived, he said.

"It was only about 50 feet away and 15 feet off the ground and it had lights," wife Deanna said. "My first initial thought was that they were trying to get the baby."

Mark described the craft as having a "burnt polished aluminum surface" to Kerry Young, a UFO researcher from the Kentucky/Cincinnati area who manages a UFO Web site. Young said he plans to post a story he wrote about the event along with 911 tape he got from Bruce Forester, a Bellbrook UFO investigator. He said he's concerned about radioactivity in the area and the fact city officials have dismissed UFO claims.

Centerville police say they don't have any plans to investigate.

"We are convinced it was a transformer blowing," Centerville police Sgt. Scott Owsley said.

Dayton Power and Light Co. spokesman Ted Tathan said DP&L had "one brief outage in the morning that affected 200 customers. A tree limb got on the lines at Main and Normandy streets north of Franklin Street and a circuit breaker in a substation (260 Zengel Drive) opened up" to protect the system, he said.
A ship attacking in the night to steal their baby?! Those folks watch a little too much TV, methinks.
 
I love it....
My first initial thought was that they were trying to get the baby.
Her first initial thought was they were after the baby huh? I wonder what her second initial thought was?

And why would "they" take the baby? A stinky, loud life form, good for making copious amounts of the most foul poo ever discovered on earth. They're dumb enough to want to take this thing, and yet somehow didn't run into a star on their interstellar journey? Not likely!

This isn't very rational of me, but I'm convinced the stupid reproduce more often.
Why is that so irrational? There are more dumb people to begin with after all. You don't give yourself enough credit! :D

I'm having some trouble reconciling this description.

Obviously the school is less than 15 feet tall. There. Description reconciled. Good grief, I'm starting to sound like xRationalx. Okay, forget I said that. But we don't know if it was a one story school or not.
 
Alien 1: "Let's polish our craft, travel to planet Earth and then go cruise around Centerville at 5:30 AM at tree-top height with our lights on."

Alien 2: "Sounds like a plan!"

How bored must these aliens be? :D

Yes, that sounds like us, but what about the aliens?
That's what I meant, that's the baby they were coming to steal for some reason, maybe they don't have enough foul smelling crap on their ships.

D@mn those rat b@st@rd aliens!! They always leave just before the authorities arrive. :mad:
 
"IT's a COOKBOOK!!!!!!!!!!"


Maybe they just wanted a change from the adult.....too tough & chewy.....
 
This outage affected 200 power company customers, and only 2 people saw a disk shaped flying saucer. Which the couple happened to think was trying to take their baby. Apparently no one else saw this same disk.

As an aside, these people must really have been bad parents for Intergalactic Child Protective Services to come all that way...
