"Spaur noticed a light over the trees on the hill next to the berm, and called Neff’s attention to it. As we watched, the light came closer and a large, self-illuminated object was seen as its source. The object came directly overhead and hovered above us. Its light lit up the ground where we were standing, and our cruiser, P-13. It was too bright to look at without hurting the eyes."To which they took it as a sign that it's good time to high tail it back to their patrol car. Once back, they called in the bizarre object which at this point had started traveling away from the area. The two deputies proceeded to pursue the object in a high speed car chase across Ohio. Five more officers joined in the pursuit that would last over half an hour and would cross state lines into Pennsylvania before losing sight of the object.
An official report of the incident was released and acquired by an Air Force Base near by. Their official judgement on the entirety of the situation was that the bright lit object the half dozen officers chased was merely the planet Venus and that it appeared to be moving due to atmospheric factors. The deputies were livid when they found out it was being insinuated that they were stupid enough to confuse a planet for something that made them and 5 other officers engage in a high space chase for over half an our crossing states in the process. Even more unfortunate is that Police Chief Gerald Buchert had encountered a bright saucer-like object on his property prior to this whole ordeal and even had a enough time to snap a picture of it before it took off. The negatives of that photo were sent to the Air Force Base as well to come back as "fogged images" that proved nothing, thus the negatives have yet to be seen since.
