Evansville, IN

Full Report Text:

Bright Bold Primary Colored Lights in the Sky BUT no shape of a craft. This all happened when I was on my way back to my parents house from dropping off a rented movie. My parents live outside the city limits.

I was almost all the way home when I drove out of a clearing of trees when I spotted the primary colored lights in the sky. As I approached the lights I slowed my car to a halt. I was nearly underneath the lights.

It was a clear and cool evening. I turned my car engine off to listen for any engine noises. there was no noise coming from the lights which were to my guess about 150 foot up in the sky.

I can judge this by the 50 foot tree that was near. The lights were very large circular and were in groups of primary colors of red, yellow, and blue. I left my parking lights on and flashed my headlights at the colored lights and the colored lights began to slowly fade and brighted but in a pattern of the grouping of the colored lights.

I rolled down my window and got out of my car and shut the door. I continued to flasth the lights for a few more moments. I was startled when I heard an older couple in a luxury car slowly approach from behind me.

I heard the lady in the passenger seat say to her husband "What is that?" and I noticed her red painted fingernair pointing up at what I was seeing. The couple being frightened drove off rather quickly. I tried for the life of me to get a shape of a craft of a length or color of one and I could not see any lines or shape.

The lights which were in perfect focus and were not the little twinkly lights a person would see on a plane or helicoper far away were easy to see. The thing that puzzles me to this day is why I could not make out a shape of a craft. I looked near the colored lights and far away from them as to see if I was not looking far enough out.

I believe there was only one craft because the lights must have got bored with my light flashing and slowly turned clockwise together and then slowly went in a direction to my right. Because there were no immidiate roads to chase it I did not chase it. I then w! ent home which was only a few hundred feet from the sighting and told my parents about it.

They believed me mainly because I was brought up not to cry wolf and they knew I would not do such a thing. If someone feels that they need to contact me for more information about the sighting please feel free to contact me at ((address deleted)) and ask for ((name deleted)). I am not afraid of what people think and only want to let people know what I saw.

Monroeville, IN

Full Report Text:

UFO in Monroeville Indiana At the time, my family and I lived in Monroeville, Indiana. We lived in a huge mint green farm house about a mile out of town. Many of summer nights we would lay on out trampoline and gaze at the stars.

Sometimes we would see what we thought as strange activity, such as lights that would disappear and reappear and lights that would fly at each other and almost touch but I told myself it was my imagination. In town we would hear stories about people seeing strange objects in the sky and I never thought much of it because I didn't see it myself. I was in 7th grade at the time.

My mother and little brother picked me up from the Junior/Senior High school a few miles down the road. At the time, I was in basketball and I had just got done with practice. We were almost home when we saw a little (I think red) car stopped right in front of our house.

We got very close to them and I saw they were looking up at something. I looked up. The car sped away (so I know someone else saw the same thing).

Right in our huge roundabout was a hovering object flying above us. It was feet or inches above the tall oaks. There was no wind, no sound.

It was triangular with spot light in the middle. It had a white light in one corner and one side had a row of white lights with one red light. It was spot lighting the grass and trees in the roundabout then it flew a few yards and spotted the house and then the back field where we had a huge garden on the corner of a farmer’s field.

As it moved, you didn't see it move. We all gazed in amazement and fear. My mother pulled in the drive way, put the car in park and ran into the house to get my father.

My brother and I started to scream and hold each other. Then it was gone. All the while, it never acknowledged us but of course it had to see us, right? What is weird is that I don't remember telling my dad or the rest of the night, maybe because it was not important or because I was slightly traumatized.

The next morning I drew pictures but for some reason my memory had changed. Now, I could only remember clearly how I felt and what I was thinking as I looked at the object and the things around the object but the exact memory of me staring straight at the object was gone. My mother said she can't remember as clearly either.

What is strange is that I remember in pictures. We didn't talk about it much. My mother thinks it is a governmental experiment, not aliens and I like that answer.

This is what I tell myself and I find it reasonable. There is an air force base very close by. The next day there were military helicopters flying all around.

What this means, I don't know. Were they looking for something? Was this a foreign government spying on the U.S.

If the object didn’t want to be seen.then why fly into peoples yards and hover around. Why did it care about us and what could it possibly learn or want from us.

I guess we will never know. I don't expect you to believe this because I wouldn't. It is hard for me to believe but it happened.

Full Report Text:

I was a teenager and sleeping. I had school the next day . It must've been about 1-2AM when it felt like my room was shaking and my room was lit up with light.

A loud boom is what woke me up initially. This lasted for probably a minute or 2. I pulled my covers over my head until it stopped.

My parents worked 3rd shift that night, so I was home alone. I called my boyfriend and woke him up and he had no idea what I was talking about. I kept asking classmates at school and everyone apparently hadn't heard or seen anything.

Finally, in my science class, my teacher said she experienced it and had been researching to see if maybe it was a sonic boom, meteor, crazy storm, etc. To my knowledge, it was never explained. I'm sure there were more people that experienced it.

I wish I had written it down in a journal or something so I could have that information today. I even checked the paper the next day thinking I'd see something about it and there was nothing.

Angola, IN

Full Report Text:

We saw a bright light in the sky that looked similar to a star. About 5 times, a smaller "light" would depart from the large light. At least 5 times, a smaller "light" came from the large light.

Each time it would appear to be flying about the speed of an airplane and then all of a sudden it would zoom out of sight at an unreasonable speed. It did the same thing every time and then at the end, the large light did the same. I've carried this story for years.

Thought maybe I should document it. We were kids. I was a senior in high school and the girl and boy with me were college students.

Summary : It was hovering over the westbound lane at the top othe hill. It was foggy at the bottom of the hill and after starting up I saw it and parked onth e shoulder and stood dirrectly under it. It was triangular in shape.

120-150 ' across the back, 100' back to front. It had 4 lights down its belly. Simsilar to a florrecent light but no defined center.

Completely silent I don't know if hair standing on end from ship or adrenalin. It just floated off into the fog in the valley. Igot back in my truck and hesded on west.

I was leaving louisville Ky. on I-64 heading into In. After climing the fist big hill I started noticing a lot activity in the clear sky.

It was about 01:45 I noticed what seemed to be landing lights but a very stange shade of white. It's movement seemed odd also because it did not seem to be getting closer fast enough for it's size. It finally turned to the noth and after awhile I for got about it.

20-25 miles latter I caught ashight of the odd lights agiain still dirrectly in front of me. On this part 64 the road is hilly and curvey and I lost sight of it each time I went in the valleys. I came around a left hand curve and started up the hill and when I came out of the fog it was hovering over my lane at the top of the hill.

I was almost at the top when I pulled onto the shoulder and jumped out of my semi and stood in the middle of the highway in my socks looking up at a triangular 100' from front to back and 120-150' across the back. It had 4 lights across its belly from front to back like aflorresent bulb but you could not see the center of the light. It seemed to be constant with no breaks on either end or down each side of its slot in the bottom of this ship.

The air was completely still with not a sound comming from this craft.I grew up on Air Force base's and have seen and heard just about every thing flowen in our inventory of air craft. I stood ther for 3-5 min.

before it just floated off into the valley into the fog. the back of the craft was also triangular in shape. From top to bottom 30'.

With twp small lights one on each side like tail lights. No sooner had it dissapeared then two trucks came around the curve and up the hill. Of course after it had left.

I got back in my truck and one of them asked me if I needed any help. I can only say they did not see it. On the other side of the hill is tree small truckstops.

I did not hear anyone talking on the radio about it so I guess no one ther saw any thing either.

Full Report Text:

A giant glowing object resembling a car headlight floated across the night sky and then shot straight up through the clouds It was an overcast night and the craft was below the clouds. It looked as if a giant headlight were hanging in the night sky. That's the best way I can describe it, because it wasn't a ball of light, but rather a focused beam of light pointing across the sky in one direction.

I'm sure you're familiar with the term "no inertia".it hung in the sky for several seconds and then took off without any build-up to a speed of what a small airplane might run at if it were at full speed. But like I said, when it took off it was instantly at that speed.

There was absolutely no sound coming from the object as it paced itself to a point in the distance about 1-2 miles away from us and then.WOOOSH! it shot straight up through the clouds exactly like in the movies.the speed mirrored a bolt of lightning.

Anyway, that was it. The friends I had with me, although I haven't seen them in a few years, still won't talk about the incident. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date of the incident is approximate.

Dunkirk, IN

Full Report Text:

Silent craft and many more smaller objects over rural Indiana. I went to close my bedroom window and spotted a large, bright orange light. I retrieved my glasses, expecting to see something on fire.

Instead, I saw an oval orange light throbbing in different shades. I could tell by local landmarks that it was not on the ground, but barely above the northern horizon. It was between the neighbor's farm and the next road, putting it within a mile of my home.

No sound. The light came closer, growing in size, then suddenly started to drift eastward. I turned off my bedroom light to get a better look.

That allowed my eyes to adjust. I found the sky was alive with tiny specks of light zipping around. Without movement, whatever they were could have passed for stars.

Approximately forty of them. Some solid white. Some solid red.

Some blinking red. Some blinking white. Some blinking both colors.

Zipping in all directions at various speeds, but some moving so fast, I could barely follow them. Some would interact. I remember one pair in particular that blinked furiously as they came together.

They spun around each other and then just zipped away at angles and speeds that seemed impossible. I never saw the smaller lights interact with the larger light, but by then, it had drifted behind a nearby woods and was hard to make out. I went to get a second witness to the event.

By the time I got back, all the lights had winked out. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

3 triangle shaped objects hovering overhead. I was in backyard, with telescope, I was not using scope when I saw the objects. I was looking in the sky when all of a sudden above me I saw a red triangle shaped object hovering above me, and spinning, it appeared to be at a very high altitude, then all at once 2 more more objects joined it.

All three were hovering above my head, I was startled but I could not look away. I was amazed I had never seen anything like this before, and I have never seen them since. They were just hovering and then all at once they spend away faster than I had ever seen anything fly.

I then ran into the house and told my wife and she acted as if she didn't believe me, I know what I saw. They did not make any noise that I could hear, I saw no lghts on them, all three objects were solid red. That is al the info that I have.
