Indiana UFO Sightings in 2012

Full Report Text:

Saw a white orb with red glow hovering off the ground about a 60 feet the red glow disapeared dropped a couple of feet and headed sout I was heading home from work on state rd. 64 in Indiana heading west at around 10:20 pm. I saw what i thought was a flare i told my wife i needed to get off the phone.

It was about 60ft off the ground looked perfectly round white center with a red glow surrounding it. I managed to get 2 pictures with my cellphone. The first one was really blurry from the sleet and rain hitting the windshield of my car.

I rolled down the window of my car and started to lean out the window for a another picture and the red glow literaly in matter of seconds peeled away along the sides of the white center starting at the bottom to the top and formed sort of candle shape at the top dropped a couple feet and took off to my left heading South towards Crandal Indiana.

Unnatural activity recorded on weather radar. 12/30/2012, 8:00 -11:00. I observed several unnatural, well defined, rectangular and "donut" shaped objects on the WIPB-TV weather channel.

I recorded this radar-loop on my cell phone. At first, the video shows 1 object, miles in width, that splites into 2 rectangular shapes. Minutes later the 2 rectangles become 4 "donut" shapes in a huge diamond - shaped formation.

At last, the 4 "donut" shapes leave the area at high speed, in different directions.

Two orange objects set apart in the sky more than four moons apart moved in tandem then one disappeared shortly followed by the other. My wife and I looked out our car window and saw 2 orange objects witch my wife says looked like bisected spheres glowing and hovering in a stationary manner. As we approached a stop sign that was in line with their position one object disappeared followed by the other briefly there after.

Also, my wife tried to take a picture but couldn't get an image on her crappy old phone.

Triangle flying object with 2 lights on the back switching one to the other never at the same time. Saw a triangle shaped object heading west. It had two lights flashing back and forth but no other lights on it.

It was dark but you could see the shape of the craft. There were several people standing in the parking lot observing this object including me. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Several pairs of lights witnessed during the late hours of 12/13/2012. I've debated with myself for quite a while (as can be seen by the date of this report), as to whether or not to formally file a report. On the evening of 12/13/2013, my girlfriend and I exited my house at roughly midnight; I got into my car, she got into her car (I needed to drive up to the local gas station to put air in my tire, which was extremely low).

Before backing out of my driveway, I checked my rear-view and driver-side mirrors to make sure that no other vehicles were behind me. Upon looking in my driver-side mirror, I noticed two lights very close together at roughly 35 degrees and possibly 500-1000 feet in the air; this object appeared south of my home. I looked for a moment slightly confused as it was a mostly overcast evening.

The longer I started, the longer my girlfriend started at me wondering what I was looking at. When I looked over at her, she kind of tossed her hands up wondering what I was doing, I pointed back and up. After doing this, I got out of my car.

She then exited her car and wondered what I was looking at. I pointed it out to her and she was also confused. She then pointed out another set of identical lights roughly 1000 feet to the right (towards the southwest).

I then spotted a third set of lights roughly another 1000 feet further to the southwest. All of these lights appeared to be at the same altitude but was unable to make out anything that resembled a shape. As we looked at these stationary lights, the first set of lights started tilting to the right as if if was going to start moving, it however stayed stationary.

When we looked over at the other two sets of lights, they had done the same thing. I am not sure as to whether or not these were coordinated events, or circumstantial. At this point, we actually questioned what we were looking at.

We kind of jokingly dismissed it as ufo's and got back into our cars and headed out to the gas station that is at the corner of state road 38 and 109 in Markleville, Indiana. I continued looking to the south as I was driving to watch the lights that we had spotted. They were still there, and the further from my home that I drove, I spotted 2-3 more.

When we got to the gas station, we watched for another few minutes. By this point, the objects had started moving slowly to the west. When I got back home I looked again, and each set of lights was gone.

Having served in the Air Force and being familiar with several different types of aircraft, my initial thought was that we had seen a small fleet of helicopters preforming late night maneuvers. The more I thought about it though, the objects (after tilting to the right) did not appear to move. It is common for us to see commercial aircraft over our homes at night as we live in an area that is a commonly traveled flight path for airliners to land at the Indianapolis International Airport.

It is also common, though less so, that we have military jets fly over our home. This however, generally only happens during air shows at the airfield located around McCordsville, Indiana and rarely outside of spring or late fall. Also, these objects were 100% silent.

The only noises that we heard were from our running vehicles. I captured no photographs of this event, and it wouldn't likely have been good photographs due to low light. I would however be more than willing to sketch what we witnessed.

Thank you for taking the time to read this rather lengthy report.

December 7, 2012 Cylinder shaped, transparent object appeared, hazy gray color slow/fast movement. Dec. 7, 2012 I reported to work close to 11:00pm.

Minutes later I was looking at camera monitors and noticed movement in one, as I used the zoom control on the panel to bring the image closer, I was shocked! Then when I realized what I was looking at, I was in awe and scared! Considering I was within 500ft of whatever it was. The object, cylinder shaped,10-15ft in length and 4-5ft wide was hovering about 100ft from the ground. Hazy gray in color yet it was transparent, it would move slow as a floating feather to lightning fast speed, when turning/change direction, it seems to pivot, at one point while recording it shot straight up at a very high speed.

This area background is industrial, residential and government.

Was in the car at a stop light and saw a triangle shaped object that was very big and flying very fast all I could see was the outline of blue lights, they were not flashing, as the object flew away it looked like it dismembered and then disappeared.

5 decent sized "UFOs" rotating shining bright Me and a buddy of mine walked outside looking towards the Louisville skyline from Jeffersonville, IN, when we noticed something strange in the sky. The aircraft looked to be a huge star at first until I noticed it was rotating counterclockwise with 5 different lights shining bright. As the "UFO" starts to move more towards Louisville another aircraft appeared from a distance.

The 2 "UFO" began to go up and down and side tot side in a very smooth motion. There were other aircraft flying overhead of this arriving and departing from Louisville International Airport. I lost sight of the "UFOs" at 11:57pm after they had crossed the Ohio River to only show them selfs 4mins later with 3more "UFOs" before speeding away.

I checked Louisville International Airport's flight reports which showed a UPS plane had problems and had to do an emergency landing from ".the smell of fumes on the aircraft.".

Bright light, hovering, close to ground, about the size of a car I was driving home on the east side of town, down state st, and I looked up and saw a bright light in the sky a ways down the road. It was like a single headlight was shining toward me. I turned right down coliseum and as I drove the object followed to the left of me.

I must have seen it from a different angle then because the bright light was gone and instead there were two white lights and a blinking red one in the middle. At first I thought it was a helicopter but then when I stopped at the light so did it. It was the strangest thing.

I pulled into the nearby parking lot and sort of followed it. It hovered a while and then sank down behind a hill. I could see the outline of a sort of 3d diamond shape though.

I've never seen anything like this before. But I did see a lady next to me watching it too so at least I know I'm not crazy right (:.

My husband called to tell me that he saw something in the sky that was moving very fast, up, down, left and right. I went outside and saw it. I have a high powered telescope and I brought it outside.

My husband arrived home a few minutes later. I focused on the object the best I could since it was moving. At one point I centered on the object.

It was light grayish blue with a dark circular center. It had several dark thick and thin lines. Some were very thick and dark and other were faint and almost looked cellular and like it had veins.

The object hovered for some time. Meanwhile we also saw several military jets flying in the area, but lower. I googled "doughnut shaped UFOs" and saw several images that were similar to what we saw.

The object appeared to drop or shoot something out of it a couple of times. The UFO also had light, but I do not think its the same type of light that our aircraft has, it was almost like the whole thing glowed blue. I do stargaze quite a bit and I would say that the object was quite large and very bright from the ground, yet it appeared to glow once we saw it through the telescope.

Oval Shaped Object with orange lights hovering above neighbors field. My daughter woke me up to her puppy whimpering and climbed in bed with me. I was afraid that the puppy might go to the bathroom in the bed, so I decided to go ahead and take her outside to go use the bathroom.

We walked around the back of the house first and then to the front of the house. I live in the country, so my neighbors arent close. Across the street in my neighbors field.

I saw and oval shaped object with 6 orangey red lights around it. Hovering about 100 ft off the ground. There was no sound and it did not move.

Of course I was frightened so I grabbed the puppy and went into the house. I waited for my husband to come home from work. I did not see the object leave.

every month for the past4 months we have seen the same object in the same part of the sky.The main light is a bright white light hovering up to 30 minutes at a time.it never moves and is always stationary approximately from our vantage point about 25 degrees off the horizon.

sometimes if planes fly close enough it winks out but returns.it is sometimes accompanied by a a smaller red flickering object. It also is always stationary.

the last time was we saw it was on the 27 of November. this time we got video of it.In the zoom of the video vibrant colors of red,green and blue are seen.

Normal sight it is just a white light. it is seen after dark before midnight,and the lat time we saw it was at 500 in the morning. The first time we saw it it was below a cloud deck,the other times it was clear and few stars.

Temperatures range from 75 degrees to 30 degrees. One time there were four objects in the sky, the two previously mentioned ones and two more, these two were lower in the sky and were moving eastward vary slowly. they were white and just a little bit bigger than the first one we have been seeing.

We live in a flight path from Chicago for jets and sometimes we see aircraft in conjunction with these sightings.

There were 3 lights, there were 2 lights at first, then one more appeared, they were moving in a circualr movement sorta. Well my brother went outside just to chill, then about 5 minutes later he told me to come outside and the see this object, and I could not believe what I was seeing. There were 3 lights, there were 2 lights at first, then one more appeared, two lights were moving aligned and the one light appeared a little bit after I noticed the other two, and then it was moving in circular movement, it looked like a changed shape sorta.

The complexity of it was difficult to describe. But what I just told was very clear.

Nearly invisible object flying in the sky. I was standing outside looking up into the sky when I noticed a very faint object. At first I thought it was just a flock of birds but noticed it was much higher and there was no sound.

It was heading south and was barely noticeable. There were no lights and no sound. It looked like 7 objects flying in a perfect "v" formation because the objects were faint enought to see but nothing else was visible.

Lights went out on something in the sky and as soon as the last light went out it literally disappeared before my eyes. My buddy and I were on the highway heading to martinsville,IN, for drumline practice and we were in the middle of a funny conversation and I just glanced up and to the left a little of my wind shield and noticed a semi circle of about 6 orange lights. As I thought "what the hell" each light went out one by one and my buddy noticed it by time there were one 2 lights left one.

I think there were lights all the way around it but they already went out. And I almost hit a car because I was so focused on it. All of a sudden while I was looking at it,like 3 seconds after the last light went out it was just gone.

That area in the sky wasn't as dark and there was no sogn of it anywhere. my friend saw the exact same thing and we can't explain it. I've never believed in anything like that until now and we told people about it and they all think we were tired or crazy but i know what we saw.

I've ever seen something like that in my life and I can't explain it.

Bright light seen in sky I went outside for a cigarette and noticed that there was a thin layer of clouds in the sky also noticing that the planet Venus was not visible but Jupiter was. I then looked toward the North and almost directly above me and seen a very bright light shining through the clouds and moving very slowly to the East in a direct flight path. While viewing this object it also seemed to elluminate a small portion of the cloud making an aura around it.

This told me that if it was not in the cloud it was very close to the top of the cloud close enough to make the object to appear larger. The approximate time was 5:45 a.m.

because I did not have my watch on or my phone with me and when I came back inside the time was 5:48 on my phone. I had to have viewed this object for a little over 2 minutes until I could no longer see it. This was not an airplane because the light remained visible from viewing the front as it came toward my location and remained bright as it p! assed my location then dimmed out from thickness of the cloud.

My phone is currently not active this month but available through email.

A friend and I we're driving down a country road shortly after mid night when I noticed a very bright star or planet that almost just appeared. It was Orange in color and was very bright, we were in awe of its size and brightness. As we were looking and trying to determine what it was it started to move very slowly and take a triangle shape with twinkling lights on each point of the triangle, the lights were almost pulsating.

The craft kept moving in a very slow, linear path that looked like it was coming directly towards us. It passed just to our right and was only 1,500-2,000 feet in the air, as it came closer we quickly determined it wasn't any airplane or helicopter because it made no sound. When the craft passed us we noticed 3 more with identicle shapes appear, they were also moving slowly and had the same linear path just spaced further apart.

As we watched the other crafts as they moved closer we noticed one craft that was almost directly infront of us drop a small, light-like object to the ground. My friend and I were already kinda freaked out about seeing these objects and became almost scared when we saw one drop something to the ground. These crafts continued their straight, slow paths and when they passed they just sorta disappeared.

We drive for another 5-10 minutes before arriving at our destination, when we arrived we continued to look in the eastern sky where these crafts were coming from and ended up seeing three more that went right over our heads. We got very good looks at the ones that went right over our heads, they were definitely large black triangles with lights on each point and a few lights in the middle and along the edges. They were moving very slow and had no sound until they were just past us, then we heard a very light propulsion-like engine sound.

All of these objects basically just appeared and were all uniform in size, shape, and color, but their lights differed in slight color and patterns of the pulsations. My friend and I are just a couple regular, football loving, family guys and neither one of us have ever seen anything that compares to what we saw this night. After seeing these objects we tried to come up with logical explanations as to what these things were and we came up with nothing.

Neither of us are aviation experts, but due to the size, altitude, sound, and light configurations we were both very confident these objects were not planes or helicopters or weather ballons.

I was looking up at the sky when I noticed a light moving across the sky at a very high speed making no sound at all for an object. Moving that fast. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.

PD)).
