On February 5, 1993 a rural family living near West Alexandria in Preble County had a UFO sighting experience. It was after 8:15 PM when, husband Charles, a diesel mechanic, and wife Sharon, an office manager, sighted four different size white and yellow/orange lights to the south of their farm house. The lights hovered over a woods about 800 feet from the house for almost two hours, moving both horizontally and vertically over this period of time. The lights slowly moved to the northeast before they disappeared. Sharon saw the lights first and ran to get her husband who was working in their barn. Sharon stated that she was "totally amazed, scared, and excited" by the event. A small propeller driven plane passed over the area during the sighting.
On April 10 around 10:30 PM, a similar sighting occurred. Looking out of the door of the house she was staying in Betty R., a realtor, cashier, and office worker, sighted three bright lights to the south "bobbing" over a nearby woods. The objects would go down below the tree line and then back up into the sky. They would move clockwise for a while and then hover again. She watched these objects for a while when she noticed that a fourth had appeared. Around a half after this the objects left the area in different directions, to the north, the northeast, and the northwest. Her experience lasted for about one hour.
