A deputy sheriff chased an unidentified flying object from Ohio into Pennsylvania, described as brilliant and shiny; a police chief photographed the object but was instructed by the Air Force not to release the photograph.

"We were close, closer than I ever want to be again," said a deputy sheriff who chased an unidentified flying object from Ohio into Pennsylvania. Police Chief Gerald Buchert of Mantua, about eight miles north of Ravenna, said he took a picture of the object from his front yard but the Air Force told him not to release it. Buchert said it looked like "two table saucers put together."
