Did Ashtabula Woman Spot UFO?
She Says Videotape Proves It
UPDATED: 7:47 p.m. EST November 7, 2000
The sky above Ashtabula County is often filled with lake-effect snow squalls, but lately there's something else blowing through the night sky that is raising eyebrows.
NewsChannel5's Paul Kiska reports that one woman says that she has proof that we may not be alone in the universe.
Then the Star Beacon ran an article about other UFO sightings in Ohio, and Stanby decided to share her story and her videotape, even though she knew that there would be doubters.
On a moonlit summer night in July, Mary Stanby decided to record the dramatic sky through an open bedroom window. Suddenly, she said, something went streaking across the moon and the sky.
Stanby kept the video to herself for more than three months, because she believed that people would say that she was just seeing things.
So was the image that Stanby saw really a UFO?
Joseph Derocher, a Cleveland astronomer, said that he doesn't believe so. Derocher said that the image is probably some type of object that flutters through the sky, such as an insect.
Stanby still believes that what she sees on the videotape is a UFO.
