Indiana UFO Sightings in 2004

Full Report Text:

Intense blue light filling room, and a baby nine months later I was asleep in my bed, so I do not know the exact time of the incident. At the time I was living with my parents, so my bedroom window was facing South. It was about 2:30, or so, in the morning.

I was suddenly awaken by nothing in particular. What I mean is there was no sound, no light, no nothing that would have woken me up. It was only the overwhelming feeling of urgency.

When I awoke nothing seemed out of the ordinary, although my gaze was immediately drawn toward the window. The moon seemed very far away, further than normal, but very bright. As I stared at it, it seemed to move closer and closer.

It turned into nothing but light, no longer a shape. The light filled my room, illuminating it with a light blue light. However, this light was unlike anything I had ever seen.

It was very intense. I turned away and noticed everything in my room was also lit up. Then as soon as it happened, it was gone.

The light was drawn away the same as it came, ending with just the full moon seeming very far away. It was as if it was trying to trick me. The next morning I thought that it had all been a dream, but when I looked around, all of my things were in the same place as when the initial incident happened.

This was all the proof that I needed. However, this was not all that I got. Nine months later I had my first daughter.

I did have a boyfriend at the time, however we were not active. I was not aware that I was pregnant until I went in on the night of her birth. I only gained 15 pounds and had no signs or symptoms.

I even had my menstrual cycle every month. She was born on October 4th. She was and still is extremely healthy.

She is also very smart and a bit larger than most children her age. However, besides that she is pretty normal.

I SEEN A LIGHTS HOVERING IN MORNING ABOVE HIGHWAY, THEN WENT UP INTO SKY. I GOT UP WITH SON IN MORNING, AND NOTICED A BRIGHT STAR OUT THE WINDOW OVER THE HIGHWAY. THINKING IT WAS A STAR I PAID LITTLE ATTENTION BUT KEPT NOTICING IT.

THEN AS I REALIZED IT WAS LOWER THAN THE CLOUDS AND STILL BRIGHT WITH IT BECOMING DAYLIGHT, I NOTICED IT WAS IN A DIFFERENT POSITION. THEN THE BALL OF LIGHT MOVED STRAIGHT UP TOWARDS THE SKY VERY SLOW, THEN JUST DISAPPEARED AND WAS GONE. I SAT AND WATCHED FOR ABOUT 6 MINUTES IT MOVING UP.

IT MAKES ME THINK MAYBE THE CAMOFLAUGE THEMSELVES LIKE STARS THINKING THE NORMAL HUMAN WOULDN'T TAKE ANOTHER LOOK.

Strange Day of Sightings I took these photos starting early AM. At first I thought someone had been peering through my window prior to sunrise. Next on my way home from my parents I noticed what appeared to be two suns in the sky.

When I got home I retrieved my camera to photograph them. When I went outside and looked to the sky there was an inverted rainbow in place of one of the suns. Could you possibly shed some light on these photos I've attached?.

Drove directly underneath a UFO in Indianapolis, saw the underside and inside of the UFO. My friend and I were driving cross country from Missouri. We drove over a hill on I-70 and saw 2 lights in the sky.

We were both immediately drawn to them, and we assumed that it was just a plane. I commented on the size of the plane considering how far apart the lights were. We kept watching it and realized that it was not moving.

My friend said that it must be an airplane tower, but as we kept driving we realized that it was directly over the highway and it was not moving. All we saw was two lights until we were directly in front of it when we realized that it was a ufo. It was very flat and cylindric and sort of a gray color.

We were both mesmorized by it and everything seemed to just stand still. The entire trip it had been very windy and the car was knocked around a lot but for the time that we were driving underneath this the wind stopped, there didn't seem to be any weather or temperature. Neither of us were even paying attention to driving, we were just staring upward at this ship.

As we entered the middle of it it went up into a dome. There was a flashing red light at the center of the dome, and I don't remember anything after that until we were a few miles away. We then noticed that there were a lot of lights in the sky and we could still see the ufo in the air behind us.

THe new lights turned out to be a swarm of army helicopters that were all formed together throughout the sky all headed toward the ufo. I watched the ufo sit there, and then all of a sudden shoot up directly into the sky. It zoomed around the sky for a while shooting back and forth, almost like it was messing with the helicopters.

It would come right back down to being 200 feet off the ground right behind our car and then it would shoot back up in the air. We then pulled over and got a hotel room once the ufo vanished for good, but for and hour afterward we saw the apache helicopters in the sky in the same place the ufo was. There were alot of police officers out also that night zooming down the highway in the same place the ufo was.

My friend had his window down when we went underneath it and when we arrived at the hotel we noticed that he had what looked like a bruise on his face and we were both nauseaus and had very bad migraines. We took blood tests to test for radiation poisoning and both were inconclusive. My friend didn't sleep for 3 days after this happened.

Also the same night that we saw it we heard very unnatural things in the air all night, sounds that we have never heard before and things that we can't explain. The next day my friend and I checked our cell phones to see what time this had occured, since we had made several phone calls and received several in that hour timeframe, and found that our cell phone call list had been deleted. The calls made before 7pm were still in there and the calls made after 10pm were in there, but the calls during that time were not even in the record.

Also 1/2 tank of gas was gone for some reason.

2000 mph metalic oval with con trail in day time sky over Indiana. On Monday 12/20/04 at aproximately 4 PM , I was outside in the parking lot looking at all the little puffy clouds dotting the sky. Noticed a fast moving object to the west.

Craft was traveling east. I estimate it was going 2000mph. It left a long prominent single con trail.

Appeared gold metalic with the full sun reflecting off it. It was long oval shaped and solid. I estimate its alltitude at about 20,000 feet.

I followed it across the sky as it moved in a straight line. Observed the "ufo" for about 15 seconds or so. It never re appeared from behind a small cloud to the north east.

Could have been a scram jet??? It did NOT have wings. Thats my story and Im sticking to it.

Glowing Disk Craft hovering over high power wires with fast strobing light on top and bottom , My Wife and I seen a RED glowing craft hovering over the high power wires that travel accross the Wabash river east of the power station at public service generator that is on the wabash river north of Terre Haute Indiana on US41. It was about 7pm. It was about 35 feet in diameter and was glowing red all over and extra brite on the bottom.

it was hovering about 150 feet up in the air and had fast strobing lights on the top and bottom that were white. We kept driving because it was a terrifing event! It was not an air craft, it WAS a U.F.

O! We dont want to get involved so no names but just thought you should know.

At 12:15AM a large extremely bright object in the northern sky was slowly moving south. As it moved closer, its size appeared even greater than at first sight. It appeared to shift direction and began to slowly move east.

I could not believe the size of this light. It was like nothing I had ever seen in the sky before. After watching for maybe 20 seconds, the light vanished completely and I noticed an airplane flying in from the east.

Coincidence? I don't know. Strange? Definitely.

Bright pinkish orange oval radiating light at 19:35 close to the horizon and about 15-29 degrees east of due north. A oval star-like very bright "thing" quite close to the horizon. It was similar to the pinkish orange of Mars and much larger even at Mars closest point.

It radiated a kind of glow. I watched it for about 4 or so minutes and it never moved (I had it between 2 wires for placement). All of a sudden it went up like the opposite of a shooting star! Now this was a very clear night.

I could see tons of stars and planes (there was a lot of air traffic). I am very familiar with the flight path as I am out back every night I am in town. This object was low to the ground and about 15 -20 degrees east of due north.

FOUR LIGHTED CHEVRON SHAPE SILENTLY GLIDES SOUTHWARD! I'm estimating a couple miles east of me, passing silently to the south I had a very clear sighting of an unknown craft. Probably around 60 degrees from the horizon, was four lite white spheres in a chevron pattern without any solid structure visible. Size at arms length about 2 inches viewing from a side profile, would likely have been twice as big from a front angle.

Orange flashes followed by appearance of objects Last Friday, Decemeber 3rd, 2004, I was driving to Kokomo, Indiana from Lafayette, Indiana. While heading eastbound on State Road 26 at around 8:30 pm, give or take about 15 minutes, an orange burst of light caught my attention in my peripheral vision. The night was clear, there were no clouds.

I saw an orange light, at first like a dim star, which grew in size or intensity to about four times the size and brightness of Venus. Then another light seemed to grow near this one in the same manner, at about 10 o'clock the original objects position. Then the first object faded out followed by the second.

This took place over a 10-20 second period. After this happened, I noticed two objects remaining equidistant circle the area. From my position facing east, they started at the eleven o'clock position and moved to the two o'clock position, and then back again, from left to right.

Vertically, if the ground is at 90 degrees and straight up is zero degrees, they were at about 50 degrees up. I have no experience judging distance so this is the only way I can relate it, I hop it helps! Once these two objects returned to the position I originally noticed them, I noticed several other objects, three, I believe. They converged in one central area of the sky.

At this point I pulled off the road to watch them more closely at the state road 26 and state road 29 intersection. I observed the same appearance of the orange lights that I described earlier. Each time I witnessed that, I observed another object.

They totalled seven at this point. They were flying in all directions in the sky, but circling to the north of 26. They were about one half the brightness of venus.

At some times they were flying quickly while others seemed to maintain position. The objects themselves flashed white, but intermittently. This is why I was so interested in them, never seeing an airplane like that.

The two objects that were keeping the same distance between them as I described earlier seemed to be flashing at eachother. One would flash several times, for different durations, a quick flash followed by a long, at a seemingly random interval. Then the other would start flashing just as the original ended.

It reminded me of the lights on a broadband modem, when the computer is connecting to the internet. Once there were seven objects all flying in random directions one flew directly over my position. I can't judge the altitude of it, but it wasn't as high as those jet liners that are seen at night.

probably not helping. it was about the size of venus in the sky, but not as bright. The object that flew over me appeared to by triangular, although that was hard to judge.

It had three red areas, that looked like the tips of a triangle. the outer points were the brightest, fading into black at the center. It resembled a peice of metal when a torch is held on one side until it gets red hot, fading into the opposite, cooler edge.

The objects maintained their seemingly random flight paths and then fell in line heading southwest at an incredible rate of speed from my position at the intersection . They would have bursts of light that became more uniform in interval instead of the random flashes from earlier, and then accelerated across the sky. I phoned my brother to look outside at home (romney, indiana) to look outside to see if he could see them.

He looked east from our house half a mile from US 231 and he saw them. He reported that they were moving at an unbelievable speed and reported that he saw one start flashing really quick and take off. They headed south out of sight.

A series of 4 lights appearing and disappearing in night sky, one at a time, in a straight line formation. At about 1:40 a.m.

I was driving North on I-465 in the Northwest part of Indianapolis, Indiana. A few degrees above the horizon I saw what appeared to be a "falling star", i.e.

, a streak of white light moving downward. There was another white light just to the right of that, which I assumed was a star or planet. However, a few minutes later, I saw a series of lights in the same area of the sky that behaved oddly.

I had traveled about five miles farther north, and it seemed that the lights I witnessed were now closer to me, i.e. somewhat larger and brighter, and a little higher in the sky.

First, there was one light that seemed to be stationary, but appearing slightly larger than Venus on a clear night. What got my attention was that suddenly a second light appeared beside it, separated by a little distance, then a few seconds later a third light appeared, the same size, brightness, and distance apart, so there were three in a very straight alignment, parallel to the horizon. Next, the light on the left end of the formation dimmed and went out; it took about 1/2 second to fade out, it didn't just blink off.

As soon as it had gone out, a fourth light appeared on the right end of the formation, so there were three again. It was exactly the same size, brightness, and distance apart as the others. After a few more seconds, they each faded and dimmed out, one at a time, in sequence from left to right.

After that, nothing. I have seen airplanes and helicopters in the night sky before, and this set of lights was like nothing I have ever seen. I would definitely consider this a sighting of "UFO's.

Tonight we witnessed two, very bright, orange colored, lights appeareing in the north east sky, side by side. One appeared on the left, one on the right. The one on the right dissappeared, the the one on the left.

About two minutes later, 3 more lights appeared horizontally in the same area. All were stationary and very bright. As one dissappeared on the right, another appeard on the left.

No more than 3 were visable at a time, but 5 lights eventually appeared, all positioned horizontally. It was odd, that afterwards, we saw what could have been 3 jets(blinking lights in the sky, followed by the sound of jets once they moved), hovering around the area. They spent approximately 5 minutes flying around the area of the bright lights, before heading south and out of the area.

We saw a similar appearance last night, but the three lights were lined up vertically and we have seen the same thing numerous times repeating the same patterns since January.

1 Bright orange light appeared in the sky. Faded out, and appeared elsewhere in the northwestern sky. Up to 3 or 4 lights at a time--Randomly dimming out and coming back.

They seemed to multiply. There was also an airplane in the same regino of the sky.

Bright stationary orange lights spotted in the North Western sky 35 miles east of Lafayette It was at night, me and 3 other friends were driving twards Purdue university (our college) from Ball State. My friend pointed out that there were lights in the sky. He pointed to the North Western sky, and there were 2 very bright (in relation to the airplane I saw in the sky, and the stars) stationary orange lights.

The two lights faded out, and one light appeared in the sky. This light faded out within about 5 seconds, and about 2 seconds later another identical stationary orange light appeared to the North of the previous light. This pattern continued 3 or 4 more times with the light fading and another reappearing in the sky to the north of it (about 2 inches apart on the windshield of the car we were in, to give an approximation of distance).

After the lights disappeared another light was spotted about a minute later in the Northern sky (much further from the previous sighting). This light lasted about 3 seconds, and disappeared after a tree got in our line of sight of it (we were driving, and I assume that it faded out as the rest of them). We all spotted 6 or 7 bright orange stationary lights in total.

Wether or not they were the same object or not I am unsure of (keep in mind there were two lights at first, and they both disappeared at the same time), but if it were the same object it would have to have been moving EXTREMELY fast to travel as far as it did in the sky (between lighting intervals). There was a plane overhead in the sky at the time of the sighting which looked much much dimmer and smaller than the orange lights and which moved along at a relatively slow rate (in comparison to the distance of the lights between lighting intervals).

2-4 pale orange spheres appeared hovering 30 degrees above the western horizon and vanished instantly While driving north on Indiana State Road 37 about 3 miles south of Rigdon a light to the west caught my eye.Initially I thought it was Mercury or Venus.Then I saw movement out of the corner of my eye and I turned to look again.

Now there were 2lights about 30 degrees off the horizon. I told my wife who was in the car with me to look at what I was seeing. We were meeting a car so she admonished me for not watching the road.

I turned to face the oncoming car to make sure I was in control of the car. I again turned my head to look at the lights. This time I saw 4 lights in a row parallel to the horizon.

Again I checked for traffic saftey by looking ahead. I again turned to face the lights. This time there were 2.

While I was watching them they individually vanished one at time, just like as if someone turned of a light switch. The lights were perfect spheres sharply outlined with the light coming through a surface much like a frosted light bulb. The color was a pale orange glow.

Their size was similar to a round automobile headlight when viewed from 20-30 feet away. My wife felt they were considerably bigger. We turned down the first road to the west to investigate the general area and drove 2 miles.

There was no sound associated with this experience and no further sighting took place. I am a pilot and I have never experienced anything like this before or since. The weather was perfectly clear.

They were not landing lights or navigation lights on an aircraft. Their glow did not change except to vanish instantly.

bright orange glow turned into six crafts and flew across the sky Started with a single bright orange glow then diminished into six small flashing crafts. Crafts then zig zagged quickly across the sky then one of them flashed into a bright orange glow again. Two then disappeared and the remaining four formed a straight line formation spaced about a mile apart from each other and proceeded east until they were no longer visible.

Odd lights/large slow craft north of indy? I left the house to pick up my kid when I noticed an aircraft in the south sky. Something about it seemed a little off, so I became distracted enough that I found it hard to watch the road instead of the sky. What I saw was confusing.

It was a line of 4 or 5 white and amber lights, much like an aircraft but much too large to be as distant as it looked. It moved slowly and silently, gliding low in the sky. I lost sight of it through the trees a few times as I drove.

A minute or two later there were a few other small, slow triangles of blinking light in the sky, too. One triangle soon looked more like a diamond. For one brief instant, the line of lights seemed to have a faint gray coin shape below it, as if the whole thing might be a lighted disc tilted to an angle.

The small objects seemed to move less slowly. Some lights blinked or changed from white to amber, but I can’t remember a pattern. It all just seemed odd and moving strangely.

I was north of Indy, at about 116th street, driving south as I saw this to my south/southwest, toward some radio towers. The lights were drifting east.

4-6 fire-orange objects in formation turning into many more objects flying erratically Second time reporting. Reporting in response to "RECENT REPORTS OF RED, ORANGE, OR YELLOW 'FIREBALLS.'" Location at the time of the sighting: driving east bound, stopped at St.

Rd. 26 @ Earl Ave. intersection, Lafayette, IN.

This is a relatively high-traffic area of Lafayette; many other vehicles on the road at the time. Time and date: approximately October 28-30, 2004, around 9:00 PM. Full or near-full moon just before Halloween.

Direction and angle of elevation at which I was looking: East, 75-80 degrees above eastern horizon, very high in the sky, in the vicinity of where the moon was positioned in the sky. Number of objects and what they did: Initially, 4-6 fire-orange lights in a mostly linear formation, not travelling but remaining stationary, or "hovering." A couple seconds after noticing them, instantaneously, the number of lights increased as they multiplied and flew erratically at high speeds in random directions out of the linear formation.

The number of objects increased to around 12 or more. Some were cutting sharp angles at high speeds; some appeared to fade to dark then reappear further away in the general direction that they were flying when they faded to dark. Then all the lights faded to dark, but not precisely at the same exact time.

The duration of the events that were witnessed by me totaled maybe 10 seconds. Number of witnesses present with me: one other witness (the passenger in my car/roommate) Other pertinent information: Grissom Air Force Base is located in central Indiana, approximately 50 miles east-northeast of Lafayette, IN. My background: Was a student (Aug2002-May2007) at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, at the time of the sighting.

((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).
