Indiana UFO Sightings in 1976

Full Report Text:

after being followed by a ufo, a beam of light shown down on my sister This story is not my own but belongs to my sister. I have wanted her to relate this story for a long time but she does not have access to the net. In the winter of 76 her and her girl friend were coming home from a meeting and were driving on a lonely country road when her friend said look at that helicopter.

my sister said, That is no helicopter, and she asked her friend to stop the car. Her friend freaked out and floored the gas pedal. The bright triangle object followed them to my sisters lonely farm house and was over the barn when they pulled into the drive.

My sister got out of the car and the object slowly moved above her.it did not make a sound. her friend was hystrical and began to yell for my sisters boyfriend to come outside.

The object was directly over my sister and she looked up and saw a trangle shape at tree top level . A beam of light shown down on her and she looked down because she was afraid it would hurt her eyes. At her feet was a cat and the beam broke and also shown on the cat.

by this time her boyfriend was at the door and when he slammed the screendoor the light went out. The object moved off through the corn fields and when it was far away a bunch of lights that were thought ,at the time, to be stars fell to link up to it. I know this sounds crazy but she cannot tell this without tears in her eyes and getting all shakey.

We knew nothing about abductions at the time so we know of no missing time.

Large Rectangular Craft with lights on its corners. VERY loud, VERY slow. My dad, my friend, and I were fishing on the beach late at night.

For almost an hour, I had noticed a large, dull orb of light across the lake at approximately tree-top level from the perspective of where we were standing. It had the brightness of a street lamp, but just looked strange to me. To my surprise, the object rose straight up, appeared to pause, then slowly started to move toward us, across the lake.

As it approached, we could hear a distant whistling sound, followed by a whirring engine sound, then a faint low rumble. As it came even closer, we noticed that it was actually a dark rectangle with a colored light at each corner. I recall seeing at least one red light, and a green light.

It moved VERY slowly, and was not more than 100-150 ft overhead. It was VERY loud, also. There were many houses just behind us, but we didn't see anyone come out to look, which has always baffled us.

My dad had previously been in the Air Force, and he noticed what he called "super-structure" underneath the craft. He described seeing 'girders' underneath the craft, as well. He said that it was moving too slowly to make that much noise.

The craft moved directly over our heads, and disappeared behind some trees. As a strange addendum, when we got back to the cottage, we told my mom, and she came outside. We immediately saw the same craft (I assume) in the sky, much higher up, with no sound audible this time.

Even stranger, the very next year, we stayed at a different cottage on the same lake, and I was half-expecting to see the object again. I had a different friend with me this time, and early in the AM of July 4th (Exactly one year later), we were sleeping, and I was awakened by my dog's whining. I heard the same faint whistling and whirring sounds outside, woke everyone up, and I was actually shouting "It's here!!" We went outside to find the same type of craft moving overhead, a bit higher up than the previous year.

My parents were flabbergasted, and I was giddy. We never went back there for vacation again, but I wonder if anyone else has ever seen that object over Ridinger Lake.

myseld and several witnesses encounter a glowing ball on a lovely summer night in about 1976 This happened when i was about 11 or 12 at a school yard in Hammond, Indiana. I'm reporting many years later. It was a lovely summer evening.

Myself and several boys around my age were just killing time in a school building alcove we called the cage. It was covered by the building and had to open sides. The side nearest the parking lot and an open area of blacktop and school yard and a ball field.

And just to our right or southwest of our location was an old tree. After going over these events over the last years I have always wondered why this particular tree was saved from being sawed down being it was the only tree around. They had even blacktopped around it.

I know,having no proof,believe the tree was spared because other people may have seen what I saw and believed the tree had some significance. So as myself and my friends were sitting there on the beautiful summer night. I was the first to notice it.

A glowing ball like object floating over the tree.It h! ad the same color white as you see in many scifi movies,that bright white light. Although my friends were scared of the object,i have always been very daring and I walked right up to it.

My friends followed when they saw I was safe. I have to say, when I say I walked up to it, i mean I got closer, but before I could actually stand underneath it, it moved. Like a steak, very fast movement.

I would characterize the movement as, zipping. Well it moved to the back part of the school the other side then we were that was considerable darker.We all followed in wonder.

As we reached the new location it was situated a little higher then previously. About phone pole high. I could here some neighbors who had been out walking their dog, referring to the object.

But I don't remember exactly what they were saying. But I do know they were acknowledging it. As I walked off to it's west profile,it started shrinking in it's space,and shaking.

It reminded me of how small grass spiders shake their we when! I used to poke at them with small stick,or like when vehicles! travel very fast,they shake. By the time i realized that it wasn't shrinking in place but actually traveling away at the perfect angle to give the false impression. And just as I realized what was truly happening it was gone.

We all went home and I told my mother who didn't believe me. So she called the oldest boy with us that night who was a very honest kid. He currently holds a position of prominence locally.

Now I have never compared stories with any of the other boys involved. Other then my mothers phone conversation with the one boy.One boy has since passed.

And when I did manage to run into one of the other viewers ,and remembered to ask about it. This one boy told me that severe alcohol abuse had removed all memory from that time.
