Driving 50 MPH East bound when I observed a metallic, stationary/oval shape in South Eastern sky 10 to 15,000 feet in elevation that was reflecting light from Sun for approximately 10 seconds then the object went from a metallic reflective color to an extremely bright white light from the opposing side and vanished.

I was outside around 0:30 when I seen several objects of light flying through the sky and maneuvering ways we can’t yet. August 9, 2016 Let me start by saying that I have always believed that we are not alone in this universe. In the past year I have become more and more interested in finding out the truth and why the government is trying to keep it secret! I had been watching a tv program called “Ancient Aliens: Declassified and “Project Blue Book”when I decided that I would watch the sky at night periodically.
I truly wasn’t optimistic about this because I figured my state would obviously have very few sightings if any at all. Two months ago, I was at my sisters house and we were outside on the porch. I just happened to be looking at the sky between the trees when I saw bright light (I just thought was a star) and just watched for a minute or less because the light was moving then quickly shot across the sky like a flash of light.
I asked my sister if she seen it and she said no and laughed at me. Since then I haven’t discussed what I see with anyone unless they are at least open to the fact that what I’m saying is true! I’ve seen few more since then but hadn’t been very consistent with watching the sky. Last night I decided to go outside with my granddaughter and look at the stars.
It was a clear night and a great night to find/see a falling star! My granddaughter went in the open garage to play for a little while and I continued to watch the sky when I noticed that to the left of me, when I began to notice many (more than I’ve ever seen fly in at the same time) airplanes flying towards our airport. I couldn’t to keep watching because it seemed peculiar and I wondered why. While I was watching the sky I noticed 2 lights in the sky that almost looked like stars but I noticed that they were kind of twinkling and moving together in the same direction.
First they went right, down, then appeared to be kind of heading toward the airport, when the one I could keep track of made almost a complete circle. We don’t have anything on Earth that could fly that fast or maneuver in that way! I could not ! make out a shape because it was to far away but the bright light and maneuvering techniques fascinated me enough to find out how to report it and who to report it to! Thank you for listening. I hope it wasn’t to long and drawn out.

I believe that I witnessed some other worldly tonight despite being skeptical about such things. I am not one to assume anything strange upon first seeing something out of place. I generally assume there is a logical explanation for almost everything that can be observed with the naked eye.
Tonight however, I witnessed something unusual and inexplicable. I was fishing at a local pond facing northward when I saw 3 lights obviously at high altitude. Living near airports growing up gives you a unique frame of reference.
They were either three objects moving at very high speed in formation, or a single massive object. I could see most of the stars and constellations over me, to the east and to the west, however, their were hazy clouds in the distance where I was facing and after 2-3 minutes it began to become obscured by those clouds. I have witnessed this many times and would have thought little of it except without a drastic change in the objects heading there was a major clearing not far to the east of where It disappeared.
I watched hoping to get another look thinking I might ascertain what it was, but it never reappeared. That is the point at which I reached the conclusion that this was not something normal, nor could it be explained by logic or common sense. The lights were steady, with an equal distance between them however as far away as it was that distance appeared as if it could have easily covered a football field between the each light.
There were no flashing lights, there were also no sounds which was also very strange. I have witnessed hundreds of passenger jets fly overhead and their are distinct characteristics. I saw both but the solid lights moving rapidly until the vanished and there was never a sound.

I’ve never seen anything ever reported that looked like what I saw! Indiana witness at Anderson recalled a UFO event from 2015 where the object was “as big as a football field” and just 300 feet overhead, according to testimony in Case 82148 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database. The witness was walking home after a third shift in November 2015 when the incident occurred. “No cars were out,” the witness stated.
“Just me walking down the middle of a major road.” The witness saw the UFO out of the corner of his eye. “I turned to the right and saw the huge, stretched, diamond-shaped spaceship.
It had orange lights on all sides of it. It was just floating in a straight line heading east. No noise, no fumes.
It was massive. Floating 200 feet above me.”.

A very bright white dot While outside, I observed a very high flying craft above an aircraft which was in the area and well above the broken clouds. At 1st it was head NE from the SW. When I first observed it I assumed it was a satellite or the space station which I have watch in the past, until it made a hard left right turn, followed by a very fast u turn to the left.
I can honestly say I've never seen anything move so quick and make turns like it was doing in my life! It ended up traveling west at a very very fast speed.

Driving, saw a small dot in the sky. brighter than anything else. was sort of an orangish color, about 45 seconds later, disappeared.
I was driving, And I saw a dot in the sky, it was 5 o'clock, so I am sure it wasn't a phone tower's light. Its shape was like a BB, It was glowing orange, and about thirty seconds later, I had driven under a tree, and that blocked the view for a few seconds. But after I passed the tree, it was gone.
I didn't see any aircraft or anything else near it. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

About 5 seconds after the move, one of them faded with a duration of about 3 seconds.
Then the remaining two joined together into one light and faded with a duration of approximately 15 seconds.

Nine glowing objects seen over my house in Anderson Indiana On Friday, October 31, 2008 late evening I was walking a friend to her car parked in my drive. We talked for about fifteen minutes then she brought to my attention a glowing light up in the sky. Her first comment was, " it looks like a helicopter".
I said no it is moving to fast. Then I noticed there was no noise and suggested it to be a falling star. As it went over my house we both thought it very unusual.
It came out of the sky from the southwest and was traveling to the northeast. We watched as it went out of sight. Then she through her hands up and pointed to another one.
The first five came in a steady stream. All at the same; altittude, direction and speed. At this time I went into the house and got my room-mate whom has been flying since he was fifteen and was a commercial pilot for over fifteen years.
Then another light appeared and soon after another. Then a moment later a third. The first two took a path a little off from the first five and the third cut to the north.
My room-mate commented they were a diamond shape. Then with a pause the final glow went through on the same path as the first five.

Three grayish-brown cylinder shaped objects with no sound or lights. We had just gotten out of my van, when my 5yr.old son pointed up to the sky and said "LOOK AT THE AIRPLANE".
There in the northen sky were three grayish brown cylinder shaped objects moving toward the south. Each one was about the size of a grayhound bus. They were silent, no lights, and they appeared to be spinning clockwise while staying in a perfect "V" formation.
I estimate they were only about 1000 feet up. When we came into the house, I had him draw what he had seen and I did the same. The drawlings were the same.
((NUFORC Note: Date of incident is approximate. We will attempt to obtain copies of the illustrations. PD)).

Full Report Text:
Large craft with lights and whirring sound. Object stopped mid air. Lights sequenced.
Object darted and stopped twice. In the fall of 1975, I was newly married and enrolled in graduate school at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. My husband had been a US Air Force pilot of T-38s and other aircraft.
He had been trained to recognize the configuration of aircraft. We had visited my parents at the farm in Morgan County, Indiana. We were driving back to college on a dark Sunday evening in the fall of 1975.
There had been a heavy snowfall, but the weather had cleared. There was a bright moon and puffy clouds in the sky. We were driving on I-69 between Indianapolis and Anderson, Indiana.
I saw lights in the sky, and at first I thought the lights were coming from a large aircraft that was in a steep bank (turning). Then the lighted object seemed to bank the other direction. I watched the lights for a couple of minutes.
I had never told my husband about seeing a UFO in 1965. I said, "Is that an airplane?" He said, "No." We watched the lights getting closer.
We were traveling northeast and getting closer. The lights were so close to us, that I said, "Pull over." A couple of other cars pulled off to the edge of the interstate.
We were parked on the east side of the interstate, and the object stopped in the air over a large lighted parking lot of a factory or shopping area on the west side of I-69, near Anderson, Indiana. My husband rolled down his window to get a clear view without reflection. The lights on the craft were in a horizontal row, similar to lights coming from inside a lighted passenger compartment of a jet.
There were also red and green lights on the object. We could hear a whirring sound, but not a roaring sound. Then .
the lights appeared to start moving in sequence .left to right. I wonder now if the object was rotating on a horizontal plane and if the object was turning rather than lights coming off and on.
The object darted to the east and in about one second appeared to be stopped again to the east of I-69, maybe about two miles away from us. "Follow it." .
I said. My husband exited the interstate and headed toward the object. The object then darted in the air to the west side of I-69 and stopped again.
Then it went behind thick clouds, and we couldn't see it at all. We continued our drive to our apartment on the Ball State campus in Muncie. We stopped and ordered a pizza.
It was very late at night - maybe after 10pm. We told the pizza guy about the UFO, but we didn't attempt to report the incident to the FAA or even to the Muncie airport. We had college on our minds, and the next day was just another day.
I felt so blessed that my husband, a pilot, actually saw the object, heard the whirring, and saw how quickly the object could move. I also felt fortunate that I could have seen two UFOs and that I wasn't just seeing things back in 1965. I wonder if there is a kind of convergence of solar systems that makes space travel easier about every ten years.
I live near the Wright Patterson Air Force Base, where supposedly the wreckage and the alien victims of the Roswell, New Mexico crash are kept in a secret area. Most of the people who know about it are probably in their seventies or eighties. I wonder if any of them will ever talk.
((NUFORC Note: We are grateful for the report. We doubt that the Sun, or its planets, come anywhere close to any other star system. If such occurred, we would see two stars in the daytime sky, not one.
Date in November 1975 is approximate. PD)).
