Full Report Text:
Seen a roughly 10x10 V shaped object flying across me. It was roughly 300 to 500 feet off the ground. It lasted about 4 seconds.
Each side had 4 elonaged ovals that were translucent. I was trying to process what I was looking at in those 4 seconds. It happened so fast.
I lost it once it went on the other side of the house. It was a reflection, a pack of duck, lighting or drones. It was something I've never seen before.
The translucent part had me losing my mind.

2 orange spheres seen by 4 people over Crown Point, In. On the evening of August 23, 2014, between 9 and 10 pm CST, 4 people observed 2 glowing spheres outside of Crown Point, Indiana. The spheres glowed/flickered orange/red, and moved slowly and silently from approximately North to South.
Size, speed and altitude unknown but would assume they were at least some feet across and low, no more than say 1,000 feet in altitude (my impression). They could have been more than just a few feet but I do not believe they were small aircraft size. At first, the objects were at some distance from each other and just “floating along,” something like you would expect from a Chinese lantern, which they resembled.
Then the lead object seemed to slow, or the other speed up as they joined up at a point in the sky. Not conjoined or linked, just close to each other in formation. They then changed direction and moved West in close proximity to each other and we lost sight of them as they passed our house and I had to move from the back porch to the front.
When I went out to the front yard the spheres had disappeared. However, as I scoured the night sky I did see one blacked out sphere (no lights now) silhouetted against the night sky, returning back East from the direction it had come. I did not see a second, nor did I try to follow the flight of the blacked-out object.
Coincidently, shortly after this sighting, my wife saw a rather bright streaking light, likely a meteor, moving low in the sky past the house. For what it is worth, I am an engineer and ex air-traffic controller.

Silent, bright, red/orange lights fly over Northwestern Indiana. Beginning at approximately 9:05 P.M.
, CST, several round, bright, single, red/orange lights flew over, from horizon to horizon. Most flew in pairs, with one light following another. Each pair would fly over and out of sight, and then another pair would fly over shortly after.
We saw a total of 8 or 9 of these lights over the course of about 15-20 minutes. The strange thing about them was that they were very bright and did not blink, but at times appeared to flicker slightly. There also seemed to be an area of more diffuse light immediately surrounding the bright light.
The light was equally bright viewed from all directions. Hard to say how close they were, but they seemed fairly close as they went by, and no sound was heard. Different from any other aircraft I have ever seen.
I shot a short video clip of the last one that flew over.

Bright orange orbs moving from south to north, from slow to fast, and disappearing into clouds. On 27 April at approximately 8:45 p.m.
I looked out my patio doors in Crown Point, IN and noticed an orange light at an approximate 60° angle of elevation. I am a former U. S.
Air Force weather observer and I live on a golf course and the back of my house has in unobstructed view. I went outside into the backyard to get a better view. There were four (4) circular bright orange orbs moving north easterly across the sky.
They were lined up in a straight line and their movement was slow on approach. I got my binoculars to get a closer look at the orange orbs, they were not airplanes. Then I thought they might have been helicopters, but there was absolutely no noise.
Then they moved northwest, and the first light sped up and disappeared into the clouds. Then the second one sped up and disappeared. The third followed and then the fourth.
According to the weather service in Gary, Indiana, the winds were calm and visibility was 15 miles with overcast skies.

My husband and I were in the backyard with our two dogs at about 8:30 last night He said "Look up" There were two round reddish-orange objects about 3,000 to 5,000 feet up moving from east to west straight, then at a very slight curve. We watched them and then looked east again to see four more, then one more. He looked at them through his binoculars and said they were round and looked like they were on fire.
There was no sound. We watched them for about five minutes until they went behind the clouds and disappeared, just about one by one. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Red glowing circular object moving laterally South to North with no sound (about the size of an aircraft) On October 22, 2011 at approximately 8:45 p.m., my husband and I were outside of our home and observed a bright red "glowing" red oval/circular object in the sky moving laterally South to North.
It was as large as an aircraft but made no sound whatsoever. At first I thought it was a glowing balloon or lantern (but more circular in shape), but it did not ascend and moved laterally instead. My husband usually has an answer for everything, but not for this!! I have noticed upon doing an on-line search that others witnessed a similar object in our area (10/18 in Munster, IN, as noted on the MUFON site; and 10/8 in Crown Point, IN on UFO's Northwest site).
We've never believed in paranormal activity, including UFO's, but this was so unusual; would love more information!.

large, triangle shaped craft in the sky I was driving home and I noticed a strange object in the sky above the cornfield across from my neighborhood. It was moving very slow to the north towards Chicago. It was a triangle shape with bright red lights at each tip.
I pulled over to the side of the road to get a better look, and I could see distinctly a triangle shaped craft. I didn't hear any noises, so I know for sure this wasn't an airplane, and I have seen this object once before a couple months ago in the exact same area. This time, it was closer to the road.
I managed to get a couple pictures of it on my cell phone. After a minute or two, the object dissapeared in the sky. It was very scary, I'm still shaking!.

red, green, and yellow flashing lights that don't move and keep flashing in southwest sky over Crown Point I was looking at Venus in the southwest sky at 8:10 this evening and noticed just below it a bit between Venus and the Treetops in the far distance flashing lights like a star or something. I got my binoculars and looked closely and it is stationary, bright flashing red, green and yellow lights flickering and not moving. I showed my son and my husband and they both see the same exact thing.
Planes go past it with their noticable lights flashing and this UFO just stays right in the same place not changing and continues to flash these colors as I write this message! Very strange! Its not moving up, down, right or left and is just below and to the right of the bright planet Venus. ((NUFORC Note: It is Jupiter in the southwest sky, at present. PD)).

Shaft of pulsing light in Crown Point, Indiana For approx. 20 minutes I witnessed a "shaft" of very bright pulsing light in the eastern sky. It appeared only in the clouds and it appeared to be massive.
I also noticed several other cloud-like shafts in the area that were perpendicular to the normal clouds that were present. The normal clouds were thin fluffy type. The cloud-like shafts were solid.
I am a night person who spends a lot of time (usually from midnight to 4 am CDT), especially in the summer, watching the night sky. I have seen several UFO's (crafts) starting in the early 80's. I have seen the Northern Lights several times.
I am an avid watcher of meteor showers. I have never witnessed a light like this. I live in the flight path of O'Hare &/or Midway airports.
There are always planes in the sky even in the middle of the night. There have been no planes in the sky for at least the last 30 to 40 minutes. Not sure if that is worth mentioning but I thought it was strange.
I am submitting this report and then will be watching to see if this phenomena returns.

I had just turned in to my subdivision when straight ahead and up in the sky I saw a cone shaped object with bright lights (I think they were white and yellow and orange) all around it. It went up into the clouds at about a 45 degree angle, so fast, so VERY fast. I never saw anything move that fast in my life!.

Floating object over our backyard I saw an object coming toward our house going west. It had 1 row of white lights at the top and 1 row of white lights on the bottom.In the center were 2 rows of red lights.
It was silently flying lower than a tall tree. The object was so strange that I asked my husband to take a look. He saw the object turn left then right and go north toward Lake Michigan.
As it turned, he saw 3 lights at the front (yellow, green, and brown). It rose to around 300 feet and flew out of his sight. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.
We presume the intended date is January 3rd, 2004. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous. PD)).

unidentified flying object My fiancee was looking through the telescope trying to see Saturn when he came running in the house telling me to come and look at something he found. This thing was round like a small orb but it was all different colors like reds and greens and yellows. and the middle of this circular thing was swirling around and changing colors like some kind of prism thing.
I dont know what it is but i would like to know if anyone else has spotted something like it. It didnt move around in circles or zig zag in the sky like people say but it did move and I know it wasnt a star it was way to low. Whatever it was it was weird.
could you possibly give me some info on what this thing could have been.
