Full Report Text:
Two craft with a triangle light formation on the bottom and a flashing strobe light and zero engine noise flew past when I was outside. I went outside around 11:40 PM EST to let my dogs out in the front yard of my house. Shortly after going outside, I noticed two blinking lights somewhat off in the distance, moving in the sky from north to south.
As the lights got closer, I could start to see a triangle light formation on the bottom of the craft. There was also a blinking white strobe light on both crafts. I could make out the same triangle light formation on both crafts.
Both crafts appeared to be identical. I could not see the craft clearly enough to make out its entire shape. I could mostly just see the triangle light formation and a blinking strobe light.
But there was enough light to tell that these triangle lights were attached or part of the craft and not just floating lights. The two crafts were flying one in front of the other but with a safe enough distance between them. I would estimate the crafts' size to be about equal to a small or medium-sized fighter jet, like an F-16 or F-15, for example.
The crafts made absolutely no sound whatsoever. No engine noises. No visible engine exhaust or afterburner.
I would say these crafts were flying at about the same level you would expect a helicopter to be at if it were flying across a city. They were flying relatively slowly. At this point of viewing the craft for maybe about a minute, I decided to run inside and get my phone as fast as I could to film.
The time it took me to get my phone and start the video is probably about a minute. Unfortunately, I was not able to film when they were close enough to make out the triangle light formation. I filmed the craft continuing to fly north to south over the city of Indianapolis.
By the time you see the craft in the video, I would say they are over downtown Indianapolis or possibly the Indianapolis International Airport. The craft flew in a relatively straight line when I could see them close. By the time they get over more of the city, they seem to be farther apart than when I first saw them.
I wanted to go down to the end of the street to keep filming but decided to take the dogs inside first. By the time I came back outside, I could no longer see either of the crafts. I stayed outside continuing to look at the sky.
3-5 minutes after returning outside from letting the dogs in, I noticed a small white orb high in the sky. It appeared much higher in the sky than the two crafts I had witnessed. I saw the orb moving slowly in the sky for about 5 seconds when it suddenly vanished into thin air.
I continued going in and outside for a few hours to see if any of the crafts returned, but clouds rolled in, and I did not see anything else that night. A few details about the video: During the video, there appear to be three lights in the sky, but the light furthest to the right is a star, I believe. There also appear to be some bugs flying around near the camera at the end of the video.
I did not have my camera’s auto-rotate feature on, and at one point in the video, I turned the camera horizontally, causing the video to be sideways. I do not have any video of the white orb I saw; it was gone before I could turn my camera back on. I would consider myself very knowledgeable about what most military aircraft and helicopters from World War II and newer look and sound like.
I read about military aviation quite frequently and have been to many airshows.

Formation of 7 UFOs made patterns in the sky before following a pure white Jet. Went to let the dog out, saw it was a nice day, so I stepped outside. Thought I saw geese at first, but then I saw the silver color shining in the light.
Ran in to grab my phone and take a video. The silver objects started making formations. One jet was shiny and one was pure white, it didn't even glisten in the sun.
The formation followed the white jet. Witnessed by a 57 year old white female. Additionally, this is not my first sighting here.
This is the first sighting I saw so many and was able to take video.
Full Report Text:
Was driving to a plumbing call when a moving object appeared in the sky. While driving westward on a gravel county road north of Geneva, Indiana, with my trainee in the passenger seat, I observed a peculiar object emerge from the overcast clouds. Initially, it appeared to be a conventional aircraft or a part thereof, resembling the horizontal orientation of an aircraft wing or a white propeller blade from a wind turbine.
Initial Observation: The object presented itself horizontally before it began pitching and spinning, resembling an ungoverned propeller feathering unidirectionally. This motion lasted for approximately four seconds, during which the object exhibited a very slow descent before it abruptly halted its descent and remained stationary. Sudden Movement: After a brief pause, the object accelerated across the sky at an estimated speed of 300-400 km/h, maintaining an altitude of approximately 2000 meters.
It continued to spin horizontally before coming to a stop once again in the sky, where it continued its rotation. Final Observation and Disappearance: The object then proceeded to thin out, diminishing its visibility until it completely vanished from sight. My trainee, initially distracted, only observed the object upon my exclamation.
He confirmed the sighting, especially noting the object's spinning and subsequent disappearance. Additional Information: No sound was perceived from the object throughout the duration of the sighting. The entire event spanned approximately 15 seconds from the initial sighting to the object's disappearance.
Conclusion: The nature of the object's appearance, its uncharacteristic maneuvers, sudden acceleration, and eventual disappearance does not align with conventional aircraft or known atmospheric phenomena. The object's ability to halt its descent, accelerate to high speeds abruptly, and then vanish is particularly noteworthy, suggesting characteristics not currently attributed to known man-made or natural objects.

Fuzzy/hazy yellow light in the shape of an orb with a smaller light behind it. Almost looked like the light had a halo look to it. My father, daughter, and I were standing outside the house to see our dog barking in the dark.
My father was the one to spot a weird fuzzy/hazy halo orb with a smaller light behind it almost like a fish with a tail. The fuzzy yellow light would gradually get bigger and dim back to it's original size, moving throughout the sky. We knew it wasn't an airplane since there were two airplanes flying in the sky with their green and red lights.
The fuzzy/hazy yellow orb was a lot big and slower moving than the airplanes going by at the time. Once it reached over the town of Milton, Indiana, it completely faded out, with no trace of it in the sky.

2 UFOs I saw one object in the sky. When I started recording another one popped up out of no where. I ran inside to get my husband then started recording the second video.
The first object had disappeared and then the second object got so bright it literally hurt our eyes and it did some crazy light show thing.

Craft flew over apartment at very low altitude and I took a photograph using my cell phone within 30 seconds of sighting I was laying in bed and noticed bright lights in my window coming right towards me as if something was going to crash into my building or go right over these apartments so I grabbed my cell phone and ran to window and took a picture as it flew right over the neighbors building and at first I thought it was a plane until I looked at the photograph which didn't look like any plane I have ever seen and it had lots of lights all over it and it looked triangular or rectangle shaped but this incident lasted maybe 30 seconds and I called 911 and reported it to police and had two officers come over to look at the photograph and they could not identify this object either and then they left after they verified that I had seen something and showed them photograph!.
