Multiple UFOs over Ft. Wright

A recent submission to MUFON - Case #23336 - tells of a multiple-UFO sighting over Ft.Wright on May 15, 2010:

I am hoping someone else saw this Saturday night. I was at a birthday party and around 10:30 We were all on the front porch of a my friends house in Ft. Wright Kentucky and someone there pointed I think it was the southwest direction and we saw hundreds of pulsating lights going across the sky. It looked like a plane would look at night but there were hundreds of them. It was a cloudy night so they were definitely traveling under the clouds pretty slowly across the horizon. We lost sight after they traveled behind the treeline across the street. After the majority of them were behind the treeline we would see a couple here and there trailing behind. I have never in my life seen anything like that before. I have been searching on the internet to see if I can find anything on it but have not had any luck. I e-mailed the Cincinnati Observatory but have not gotten a response from them either. I know I am not crazy. Everyone else at the party saw it too. If anyone has any answers, please let me know. It is driving me nuts. I tried to take a video with my phone but it did not work. Thanks for your time.

After scouring the internet for other reports of this incident, however, I found nothing - other than other bloggers talking about this same MUFON post. In such a densely populated area, surely someone else saw the phenomena and can step forward?

Arrests made in burned-body killing

Following up on our earlier post about a burning body found under a bridge in Cold Spring, KY, the Cincinnati Enquirer is reporting that four people have so far been arrested in connection with the case.

Thursday night police arrested Marion Lawson Parker III in Arlington Heights, Ohio, said Covington Police Lt. Col. Spike Jones. Parker, 27, of Covington, who is known as "Timmy," is charged with murder while being held in the Hamilton County jail.

When Parker is brought back to Kentucky he will be charged with robbery, unlawful imprisonment and tampering with physical evidence.

Shawn Davis, 28, was found dead under the bridge on Dodsworth Lane in Cold Spring after firefighters responded to a report of a fire.

Three other people were arrested in the death.

Five days after Davis was found, Patrick Cooke, 24, of Covington; Samantha Mayse, 19, of Independence; and Mary Ann Hartbarger, 34, of Covington were all charged with complicity to commit murder and complicity to commit robbery.

Cooke and Hartbarger also are charged with tampering with physical evidence. Cooke faces an additional charge of first-degree unlawful imprisonment.

All three are being held without bail in the Kenton County jail.

Covington police Lt. Col. Spike Jones said Thursday that the tampering with physical evidence charges stem from the burning of the body.

The funeral for Mr. Davis is scheduled for 1 p.m. Monday at Don Catchen and Son Funeral Home, 313 W 19th Street, Covington, KY. He will be buried at Mother of God Cemetery in Fort Wright, KY.
