I saw a shiny metallic disc. It traveled away from me. I was traveling South on LIma Rd and I saw a shiny disc shaped craft that was traveling in the same direction as I was.
The sun was hitting it, so that is why it was shiny. I was watching it, and all of a sudden it made a sharp right turn, almost like it was going into a cloud. I continued to watch it, but it never came out the other side.
I would say it was the size of a bus and was about 500 yards away.

I have 99 pictures of the sighting and one video. 100 images of evidence. My name is ((name deleted)) of Fort Wayne Indiana Fort Wayne, Indiana 46825.
I woke up around 4:55am on 2/16/22. I looked up through the sky light in my bathroom because I saw a bright light with a green aura in the shape of a circle. I went to my kitchen window to look out my back yard.
I saw the moon was beautiful and bright. Next to the moon was a green dot and then what looked like a dull shadow of the moon. I went to try to take a picture and I noticed the green dot was moving.
The dull shadow was moving too. I have pictures of the moon and the green dot but the dull shadow did not show up on my camera for some reason. I tried to line all three up at the same time to take a picture.
Then took screen shots. What I saw on my camera was shocking. Over a series of camera burst there was two crosses that appeared in the sky.
This same occurrence occurred the next night 2/16/22 at 3:45am and lasted until 4:57am. The second night I saw what looked like jet screams in multiple places at around 4:44am. The jet streams made loud sounds like an actual jet would be flying over.
They seemed to be happening at such a fast and loud pace. Some of the jets screams intersected. I have 99 pictures of proof over the two nights and 1 video.
My contact information is 260-615-0240. I would love to discuss more of what I witnessed. I tried to contact NASA but they never returned my call.
I’m hoping you can provide a space to tell my story. It looks like your site only allows 5 photo uploads but I wish I could share them ALL.

Curved streak across the sky at unbelievable speed Our ring doorbell kept going off, and when we would view, there was nothing; however, if it had not already been recording, it would have missed this one. It was an unidentifiable object streaking extremely fast from the Western sky curving southeast.

Me and my Cousin saw 3 UFOs. Its Dangerous in my opinion, ive Seen multiple in the last month all around Fort Wayne, apart from this. Last night me and my cousin was leaving to walk around and talk, as usual then the First encounter.
The ufo was unable to be seen but a blinking blue then white sliver of light was zipping around in the sky it looked like it would go abnormally fast and the light got longer and it looked like it would go long ways the sideways. The Ufo disappeared behind a treeline that boarders our Neighborhood. We kept walking to the gas station where we sit to talk, We then see over by the treeline across the street, from the entrance of my neighborhood white and red lights, Specifically White lights flashing around a generally small area.
I pointed it out saying its the Military, They've circled my area more since the pandemic. Second encounter, The lights we thought was the military plane was a UFO. It got closer and stayed stationary in the sky with flashing red and white lights then disappeared fully with no sign of it anywhere.
(I tried to take pictures of ! 2 of the 3 times including this, this one being the one I couldn't capture.) When we got stuff from the gas station, we returned to her house to bring a drink to our grandma and we saw another ufo. Our third encounter and last in the night, around the same exact area we first saw the first ufo in the sky.
We saw just a light and it got brighter and I tried to take a picture. Youre able to see the marking in the sky with adjusting light exposures, but with doing that with a picture last night shows a almost inhuman face, even I do not believe it but i see it in the picture but I have no clue what would have happened to make that on the photo. -I need to express im very worried! Ive never reported anything but Ive experienced multiple Ufos on multiple occasions, with Different people who've all seen it with me.
I have pictures of a bruise i woke up with with dots lined down it in a grid pattern. I also have a picture of my Fiance with gridded dots down his back with no explanation or Possible way to get them in his sleep. - 2 weeks ago me and my Fiance were driving on Tonkel rd.
To see a white dot get bigger towards us it turned red then disappeared.Later about 10 minutes later, I felt the whole car vibrate and the glass, i thought it was loose it got loud with the vibrating, I touched vibrating Glass and my whole chest felt heavy and hard to breathe i started crying and freaking out saying i wanted to go home after and my Fiance saw it all and has never seen me freak out wanting to go home and honestly in that moment i dont remember much but freaking out and the glass vibrating. - March, 2020 last year Me and another friend was sitting in an Old trailer park in a field, ALSO in the same area (mile up the road) A massive ufo with almost a metallic black ice look it was dark and almost unreal with still light reflecting off the bottom.
It was over head and over a near in construction hotel but VERY close to the ground. It zipped forward in an unreal Way. It looked like a big oval/rectangular from bottom view.
-also some time in 2020, with a video, me and my fiance were sitting in the car singing after a wedding in his car, i sat my phone down and left it record, you can see Multiple lights that are bright white turn on above our heads and zip off. Again im very concerned,theres been more occurrences, a couple pictures and a video that shows what ive been talking about and its provoked me to reach out.

A descending disc above the road. It was on its side and reflective and luminous. There was the disc and around it was a pulsating energy.
My husband and I saw it while coming back from my sisters house on Maples Road facing East as it crossed above us in the air and looked like it was getting ready to land. The disc was flying across the road in a South direction. We only saw it for a few seconds.
It was definitely not a falling star. The object appeared to be the size of a large house.

On the evening of 28 JUL 20, me and a friend were outside watching the space station go over at the 10:10 viewing from our location. A few minutes in to the ISS flight viewing, my friend asked me what is that, I looked and we both saw a larger light in the sky. Both, the ISS and the unidentified object were visible at the same time.
The object stopped a couple of times and hovered, changed to red one time, then proceeding to the east at a very quick pace. The ISS disappeared and the object kept going east until it disappeared. My friend and I were scratching our heads wondering what the hell that was when it reappeared east of us and cam back on nearly the same track.
It again stopped and hovered changing to red and then moving west changing back to white. We decided to hop in the vehicle and see if we could follow it. By the time I came out of the house it was gone.
We did travel about 20 minutes asking two people that were on their break if they had seen anything and they stated that they had not. It did not make a sound at all.

Blinking, fast unknown object flying over downtown Fort Wayne, IN While watching the ISS pass over fort wayne, in around 10:10pm, I noticed another object flying west of the ISS. The object was significantly bigger in comparison of the ISS. We couldn't really tell the shape being it was dark out and it was flashing from white to red every few seconds.
The timing of the changing of colors wasnt in a specific pattern. The object would stop and hover, then move east. It was going a good speed when it eventually went out of sight heading east.
Roughly two minutes later we see it back in view heading back from wence we seen it at first. The object then proceeded to head west until we no longer could see it anymore. We thought it was a drone at first, but the way it was acting and the speed this thing had has us thinking otherwise now.

3 lights appear and disappear Over Fort Wayne on Wednesday Night This event happened while i was standing in my front yard. I was looking south in the sky at Jupiter and Saturn. Then starting looking up at a satellite, some planes, it was as dark as it gets here at the time.
Then looking up i saw 3 lights that resembled stars appear directly above head. They were most certainly very very high in the sky, they headed from west to east in silence from about the 2 o'clock overhead to the 11 o'clock overhead and disappeared. They were going at about the speed you would see a satellite go, but there 3 of them, all headed the same direction, the same speed, and if you put a fist in the sky, they were spread out in triangle fashion at the same size.
as they dimmed they looked as if they went from the whitish/yellow to a reddish and then disappear. The lights looked like stars in how dim they were, but appeared and disappeared unlike anything that i can make sense of. Stayed out until about 12 midnight looking up and saw many air! planes and satellites, and a shooting star, but the 3 ball craft never reappeared.
the sighting only lasted about 10 seconds at most.

I was driving my children and my granddaughter and her friend home. We were traveling East on Vance Avenue. The closer we got to Walden Addition we noticed an object with lights to the right of us he hovering above the houses to the left of us.
The object was very large. Larger than a drone or helicopter. It maneuvered in many different directions.
Up down, side to side. We stopped on the side of the road to get a closer look. The object began to get closer to my car.
I continued to drive down Vance to our destination. The object began to follow us. I sped up and the object still was above us.
We got to the destination and dropped off the kids. We continued to drive home and my son saw the object hovering above the houses as if it was waiting on us. We sped home and it took off very fast in the other direction.
((NUFORC Note: Time indicated by source of original report was flawed. We have amended the time, in order to reflect a nighttime sighting. PD)).

3 glowing objects moving due West. Non blinking lights. No noise of craft.
I saw a bright object in the sky. Figured it was a airplane taking off from local airport then noticed just how bright it was and that it did NOT have blinking lights. Watched that for a few seconds then noticed two more of the same things nearly overhead but off to the right.
They were moving at a pretty good speed but not blindingly fast or anything. They were travelling next to each other but separated by a few hundred yards. Watched for a few seconds.
Looked back at the first one and it was gone. It thought it might of gone behind a cloud. Looked back at the two.
They were all orangey red. Disc shaped. Flat but almost a flame like quality.
Noticed what I thought might be three lights on edge of disc. But hard to discern clearly due to the glow of the disc. I had been walking toward my truck this whole time and was going to pass past it and get to the field but I had to look down to step over the curb.
When I looked up the two were gone as well. At the sp! eed they were going they might of reached the cloud as well. At no time did I see any navigational lights blinking or did I HEAR anything as I watched the sky for another 30 seconds.

orb of light traveling silently The evenings of September 25th, 26th, and the 27th, I and my fiancée witnessed a ball of light in the sky. The first night I was by myself outside on my back porch and I saw a ball of light move from the southwest to what seemed like the northeast and it faded away in like five seconds but it was not a meteor cause of the speed it was moving at which seem very slow and it wasn’t a plane. The next evening, I was outside with my fiancée and we were out around the same time as I was the night before 8:30 and we both saw a light like I did before except moving from east to west.
We saw it for about four or five seconds then it disappeared. We thought that was cool and said it was interesting and as we said that it reappered for like a second heading in the direction. The third night was the weirdest cause around the same time on the 27th I and my fiancée were sitting and I asked her if I should ask Yahweh to send a ufo for us to observe and she said sure.
So I stretched my arms out and ask Yahweh to seen a ufo. We sat there for five minutes and she went inside. I stayed for a few more minutes and just as I was about to go inside I saw it in the corner of my eyes.
I turned to see a white flashing light blink several times so I yelled for my fiancée to come back outside and she made it in time to see the light. It flashed about 8 more times not in a pattern but once then three times then two and it started to faded away and it was gone. Yeah, I know it sounds weird, but that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.

Bright orange light slowly moves soundlessly over northeast Fort Wayne, IN. On July 5, 2017, at approx 11:15 PM, in a northeastern suburb of the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana, there was a very large, bright, orange light moving in an arc in the night sky from the southeast to west. The object was visible for about 2 minutes.
The object was at least cloud level or above, as it either became slowly obscured by clouds or gradually diminished. The speed during the observation was roughly that of a typical traffic helicopter, but the object was not a helicopter. It made absolutely no sound.
For comparison, moments afterwards, an airplane was observed moving in a southwesterly direction. It was at a much higher altitude, loud, and easily identifiable through the spotty breaks in the cloud cover. The observers were a middle-aged husband and wife.
The husband is an Army veteran (84C) and autoworker. The wife did not have her glasses.
