This is less a posting and more of a solicitation for information. On Sunday night, August 26 (2012), we were on the phone to a friend of ours in Hubbard, Ohio. In the middle of conversation, she held a ruckus outside and went to see what was happening. She and various neighbors found themselves standing around staring at a mysterious object flying low and moving slow through the sky.
It is described as being about the size of four or five prop planes in both width and depth. It appeared to have been square shaped with rounded corners. It had no standard FAA lights but did have a faint glowing band around its center and two intense beams of blue-white light shooting out of the back. It was about 600 to 800 feet up in the sky and moving roughly West. The object made a noise that supposedly resembled the sound of this YouTube tape.
In attempting to get an ID on the object, we have so far ruled out the Goodyear blimp (too bad - their hangers are just to the West of Hubbard) and it doesn't appear to fit any known military model for lighter than air crafts. I am hoping that there might be more witnesses out there, especially people who saw it from a different location.
The event took place on Sunday, August 26 around 10 pm (EDT). I can be contacted through this site via the comment section and any help would be appreciated.

Medium Cool
As a general rule, anything bad you might hear about a commercial "psychic" is usually accurate. The bogus nature of this ancient trade is legendary as they largely contact the spirit world in pursuit of your wallet. Normally you want to avoid them and if you can't avoid them, be sure to know the phone number for the fraud division of your local police force.
Ironically, my only first hand experience with a paid medium was somewhat different. So before I start, let me once again state for the record that most (and I mean the overwhelming vast majority of) commercial psychics are bogus, dishonest, and untrustworthy. However, the one person I dealt with was...well, I don't know. It was an odd experience.
At the time, I was dealing with some legal "issues" involving a recently deceased relative. Since it finally resulted in a lawsuit and out-of-court settlement, I am not allowed to discuss much of the case. But I was trying to learn a variety of details concerning my cousin's death that were proving difficult to pin down. A family friend suggested that I should talk to a psychic they knew. I do not wish to give out either this man's name or phone number because he has since retired from public consultation.
At first I didn't much like the idea, but I finally decided that it might be a bit of a lark (as long as I kept an eye on my wallet). This psychic was located in another part of the state, but did telephone consultation several evenings every week. All I had to do was first send him a check for $25 dollars and he would arrange an hour slot for us to talk. I sent the check, got my spot and kept waiting for the up-sale.
There was no up-sale. $25 an hour was his flat and only rate. In actuality, we ran slightly over the hour. That was not a problem. He did tell me that he likes getting the fee out of the way upfront because he wasn't totally comfortable with charging.
The phone session was quite simple. We chatted briefly, mostly about our mutual acquiescence (who he hadn't talked to for a while, which I already knew) and then he took a couple of seconds to settle into a "state" of contact with his spirit guide. There was no change in his voice nor speech pattern. He preceded to contact the decease. We then had a bit of an awkward conversation because my cousin wasn't all that responsive. In fact the psychic finally asked me "Was he like this in life?"
Unfortunately, the answer was "Yes." We were getting "answers" to direct questions but even the psychic afterwards told me that it was a bit like pulling teeth. Again, unfortunately, that accurately described my cousin. The core answers we got would later prove to be correct. Extremely correct. We also conducted a read on the person who was about to become the defendant in our impending lawsuit. There it would be harder to judge the accuracy of this "read," but the material would later prove useful in what became an extremely long suit.
At the end of the phone session, he took a moment to introduce me to one of my guardian angels. She took the name and form of Glinda, the good witch in The Wizard of Oz. Until now (which means as of this posting), I have never told anyone that I have privately always viewed this film character as an ideal vision of a guardian angel. I do not see how he could have simply guessed this detail. Heck, I basically haven't even watched the movie since childhood.
So let me go back to what I said at the beginning of this piece. Most commercial psychics are bogus. It is a scam. They are simply fleecing you.
But my personal experience has been extremely different. Oh goodness, are we back to that "More things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamed of" point in Hamlet?
