UFOs in North Canton?

Couple tells News Channel 5 about their sighting

Here's some weird news for you:

Instead of seeing fireworks in their backyard on Sunday night, a North Canton couple said they saw what could have been a UFO, according to News Channel 5.

"These two objects floated by and then two more floated by and a short time later, two more floated by," Joanne Damico told Channel 5.  She said the objects looked like orange-colored globes.

John Damico told Channel 5 the objects were too quiet to be airplanes, and they didn't look like them either.

The Damicos had a similar sighting in 2009.

Channel 5 contacted astronomer Clyde Simpson at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, who said he couldn't identify them as being anything other than "orange dots on a black field."  And since they appeared on July 3, Simpson said there's "no reason to think they were anything other than fireworks."
