We were rounding a 90% turn on a small country road and they were waiting as we came out of the sharp turn Driving late at night down a 2 lane country road. As we rounded a 90% turn they were their waiting and they were very still until we were right beside them and at that moment they broke off and started hovering over top of our car. As they were doing this one of them was like going in crazy directions moving in ways nothing of this earth can do and they were completely silent.
They would not leave us alone and stayed not even 25ft maybe above our vehicle and just kept following and staying above us except the one who was flipping, floating, and moving crazy like. They followed as we drove very slowly and at one point we stopped and so did they hovering over us in silence. They did this for about 45 minutes until we made it to the Ohio river and at that point they flew off so fast they just disappeared.

Why are there silent aircraft flying over Corydon at night? Also why are there so many going in the same direction? Every night around 12:00am I notice lots of triangular shaped aircraft flying directly over Corydon. These aircraft are completely silent and look like they are military. I just think it's weird that they are silent and that I only see them at night as well as why there are so many passing.
I've been told it could be the military looking for a lost aircraft, but why? ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Object spotted above western horizon when viewed from I-64 in Corydon, IN I was driving westbound on Interstate 64 (altitude ~534ft) when the object was seen in fixed position just above horizon. At first I thought it might be an airplane, satellite or possibly a star or sunset. Unsure of how large the object actually was since it was too far off to get a realistic measurement, however it appeared to be hovering around the Evansville, IN area but it could’ve been much further west when viewed directly from I-64, it was definitely large, oblong and stationary in the western sky.
It had an oblong-oval / cigar shape and appeared bright white in color such as found with a star or a satellite / metallic object reflecting sunlight. I viewed it for approx. 15 minutes before exiting highway (exit 105) and it was still in the same location fixed on the western horizon when viewed directly down the I-64 corridor.

It was so Bright. On Sunday moring of Febuary 17th around 2:11 am central time myself and 3 others where traveling west bound on I-64 10 miles west of Coydon, Indiana. As we was traveling at speeds of 72 mph I noticed a bright light in the north west sky traveling east in the sky.
As it came closer to us it begain to take shape of a trangle. The largest point of it would have cover a full moon. As it approched us i noticed that the light from it had luminated the ground and around us.
As i pulled over and step out the van the object went to the north on a very sharp turn. No sound was heard, however the whole encounter was only about 25 secounds long.

Single point of light that changed direction and rose out of sight within a second I thought I was watching a satellite passing overhead, as I've seen many times before. I watched the ISS pass overhead one night, and this looked just the same as a satellite. I watched it for approx.
3 minutes, moving in a straight line and at the same speed. It then changed direction at approx. 90 degrees vertically and increased speed dramatically as it climbed out of sight within approx 1 - 1 1/2 seconds.

I need to talk to the U.F.O.
center asap. When I was riding home with my mom I took two pictures of something flying in the sky, it wasn't a plane because it didn't have blinking lights. So when we pulled in the driveway I saw a BIG disk so I got my Razor cell phone and put it on the vido taper and taped a disk flying around a star.
And I got another picture from 12-11-07. Thanks ((NUFORC Note: Possible hoax. We will invite the person to submit the photo.
PD)).

White ball of light, erratic movement, sudden dissapearence. I saw a white ball of light moving up and down erratically just above the treeline while I was riding my bus to school. The object was moving fast and as I watched it, it sped up and dissapeared behind the trees for a interval of around 2 seconds.
It reappeared then vanished. I watched for it to return but it didn't. Many craft of this kind are sen in my area.
It's a phenomenon referred to as the "Corydon Lights". Many teachers at my school, among other adults, have actually talked about seeing them, they are popular enough to even be mentioned in a Topics class at my highschool.
