My husband and I was in our pick up truck southwest of Frankfort, In. It was right at dusk. Not quite dark yet.
We was backing out of a field near a wooded area as I looked out my opened window towards the back of the truck I saw 6 lights in a row in this clouded area near us. The lights were compared to a car head light but was a yellow-gold color. They did not move, they were just there for maybe 5 to 6 sec then they faded away from left to right one at a time.
As we backed onto the road I would not take my eyes off of the very spot that I saw them. I saw a very dim outline of a rectangle with the same lights but very dim to the eye. I just saw that for a few sec and it just faded away.
I was relieved to hear my husband say that he saw the lights too.

Bright Light In Frankfort INDIANA Well at 1:00 that night we saw a light we just thought it was nothing. The light was long and grew size as light progressed. It was white in color.
This encounter didn't last very long. We ran inside. So I went back outside to see if I could see it again.
I did that time it was long and still grew in size as it progressed. Except I saw something that was a disk shape inside of the light. Also, this time it was pulsating green and red.
My encounter lasted about 30 seconds.

When I looked at it, it instantly fell out of view. I was at my grandmother's house one day when I saw a UFO. It was above a forest on the horizon.
It was a large saucer. When i looked at it for a few seconds it instantly fell out of view. Later on that night i had a dream about it.
In the dream there were many more and it was like something was trying to contact me. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD)).

Orange lights in the Indiana sky, 4 witnesses. This is the forth time I've seen these lights around my house. Its been interesting.
Well, my friend and I were coming home from kokomo, driving west on 26. I was looking out the window while listening to The Beatles when I saw those familiar orange lights. There were four of them.
I told darren to pull off the side of the road so he could see. Well we waited about 5-6 minutes and decided we weren't going to see it [just military jets in the sky, as usual]. We got back in the car and headed home.
I called my house and told my sis to go watch at the end of our road with her bf and she said alright. It took us about 4 minutes to get to my road, 700 east, where we met my sis and her bf. We asked them if we saw anything and they replied nope.
We told them that we were going to eat and then we'd be right back. So we started down my road. about 1-2 minutes later [we were driving quite slow, still looking] I saw this big orange light to the right of me.
It was MUCH closer than any of the ones I've ever seen. I had Darren stop and we jumped out. This light was just sitting there, military was circling the area.
My sister saw it too and drove down to where we were. Just around then we see these little tiny orange lights break apart for the the bigger one. A ton of these lights spilt off.
then they all faded away. I asked if everyone had saw this, and pretty much the same thing coming out of all their mouths was, "Wow." We were all kinda stunned.
it was like watching a movie. We looked for another minute before deciding we better eat so we can come back out. We were home eating and you could just hear all the jets in the area.
It was apparent they were either chasing the object or it was one of theirs [though I do not see how it could've been a manned object]. We got back out at 9:30 and it was pretty quiet. As we were driving around the country roads we passed two slowly moving vehicles [possibly other people who saw the same thing?].
Nothing was seen for the rest of ! the night. [Edited for spelling errors, resend by poster.].

Fading orange lights witnessed by a 19 y.o. & 48 y.
o. formations seen. I was driving home by myself, looking at the stars when I saw an orange glare to my right.
I turned to the right [north] to see it, just as the light faded into darkness. It was right about this time I thought, "This is the same thing I saw last summer!" [My report is on here, 05/29/02] Just then I saw the a light appear in the western sky quite far from the original location. When I told my family about these strange lights last summer, they just brushed it off like it was no big deal, so not beign far from home, I decided to call my mom and pick her up so she could see them.
Hurrying home I saw the lights a few more times. I was paying more atteniton to the road though. I got my mom and drove to 26.
We got out and waited. In no less that 5 minutes we saw 2 lights appear in the northern sky about 40 degrees above the horizon. We decided to drive up 26 a little farther and pull onto a country road.
There were 3 lights now, they felt very very close. As we watched I was stunned to see them dissappear for a minute only to all reappear eventually as a triangle. Another minute or so pass and my mom says, "Look!" and they were in a perfectly straight horizontal line.
[this summer I saw a vertical line] This is about the time we decided we saw enough and left. My mom felt "obligated" to call the cops when she got home, they ofcourse, had no idea what it was. I do remember seeing & hearing a lot of other planes afterwards.
*especially* last night.

3 glowing objects near Frankfort, IN, in Dec. 2002 My husband and I were driving about 10 miles south of Frankfort, IN. We were headed toward Frankfort.
I was talking to him and as I was talking, I noticed some balls of light in the sky. I continued talking while watching the lights when my husband interrupted me to ask if I saw those lights. We then watched them for about 5 or 10 more seconds when they just disappeared, as if the lights had been turned off.
At first I thought that there was a tree between us and the lights, but after about 10 more seconds we still had not passed any trees along the side of the road. We looked all around but could not see them anywhere. My husband saw two balls of light and I thought that I had seen another one briefly to the left of the larger ball.
There was one large ball of light and another smaller one to the right. The light was a kind of yellowish with pinkish tones. They appeared to be about one half mile away.
They were maybe about the same altitude as a small plane, or maybe a bit lower. About 7 or 8 minutes later, we were just outside the Frankfort city limits when my husband saw them again. This time there were three distinct balls of light, one a bit larger than the other two.
They seemed farther away the second time. The larger one's light got bright and then dimmed, like a dimmer switch, and then brightened briefly again. Then it dimmed and went out.
All three balls of light went out at the same time. We called my son-in-law at the Tippecanoe County Sherriff's dept. to see if anyone was reporting a similar experience.
He called one of the Frankfort police. However, there were no other reports made.

We saw unusually moving bronze lights in the sky in Indiana I’m 2002. Late at night, out in the country at a friend’s house a bunch of kids from church were camping in her backyard. She casually pointed up and we all saw bronze fiery lights in the sky.
She wasn’t surprised, she said she saw UFO’s all the time out there. We stood there and watched the lights move around in different formations, usually in a line. They were beautiful and looked like they were dancing gracefully at one point.
They moved very slow sometimes. Accelerated very quickly. At one point some of them moved so far across the sky I knew I was looking at something I have never ever seen before, no plane or helicopter can move so quickly.
They also slightly changed color from bronze to white. They were so far away we couldn’t truly see what they were, just balls of fire like stars that had come alive. Eventually they all took off, one by one, very quickly, and disappeared .

huge orange lights fading away then reappearing again 15 mins later I live in rural north-central Indiana [near frankfort]. Last night, the 30th, I was talking and looking at the stars with my girlfriend. All of a sudden something caught the corner of my eye.

Then fading again. We ran inside to tell her parents. We came out and looked for about 15 minutes, then the same light caught my eye.
We stood up seeing 3 orange light fade away. Then 2 seconds later *four* huge orange lights appear in a vertical line then the middle fades out, then the rest go. I was scared ((deleted)).

I was a teenager and sleeping. I had school the next day . It must've been about 1-2AM when it felt like my room was shaking and my room was lit up with light.
A loud boom is what woke me up initially. This lasted for probably a minute or 2. I pulled my covers over my head until it stopped.
My parents worked 3rd shift that night, so I was home alone. I called my boyfriend and woke him up and he had no idea what I was talking about. I kept asking classmates at school and everyone apparently hadn't heard or seen anything.
Finally, in my science class, my teacher said she experienced it and had been researching to see if maybe it was a sonic boom, meteor, crazy storm, etc. To my knowledge, it was never explained. I'm sure there were more people that experienced it.
I wish I had written it down in a journal or something so I could have that information today. I even checked the paper the next day thinking I'd see something about it and there was nothing.
