OLMSTED FALLS — September 30, 2004-The opening credits of the science fiction show, „The X-Files,” always ended with the line, „The truth is out there” — designed to open viewers’ minds to the possibility that the fantasy-based story lines could exist.
If the „truth” is out there, did a local resident get a glimpse of it over the weekend?

According to a police report, a Wainwright Terrace woman reported Sunday night seeing „something suspicious in the western sky and it was scaring her.” The woman said the object was white and green in color.

Using binoculars, several officers observed something in the sky „hovering with a round circle of oscillating red and green lights,” the report said.

Police then spoke to an employee with Cleveland Hopkins Airport Operations, who said the airport had received several calls regarding the object, but there was nothing on the flight tower radar.

About 20 minutes later, the airport worker called police back, saying he observed the object, as well, and it could be a satellite. However, the tower was still checking on it and as of Monday, the object had not been identified.

On Tuesday, Bill Steigerwald, with the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., raised the possibility that the object might have been a meteor or debris from space. His agency, though, had not been contacted, so he had not seen the pictures taken by Falls police.
