Two Orbs Stationary, then One Moving Oddly After leaving work from an office building in Downtown Gary to an attached parking garage my colleague had car trouble and needed to jumpstart her battery, while waiting for her self-starting jumper to charge it was during this time we spotted two orbs in the sky that bright stars then one appeared to break away and began to move at both irregular and inconsistent speeds and direction toward the Northwest. We had a perfect vantage point from atop a parking garage looking at the sky facing Eastward with an unobstructed view above the tree line. My colleague believed the orbs were planes but you can see from the video the speed of the acceleration of the orb to the left change and the path traveled wasn't like a normal aircraft.

While the orb to the right remained stationary.

It came straight down from the sky. The object was very bright and shiny. It was like the shiniest metal I’ve ever seen.

It was in the shape of a diamond and it just came down quickly like someone was dropping it from the sky (in the distance) and then it just disappeared. It was like it evaporated in thin air or went through some portal.

Hovering ufo over Gary, Indiana old City Methodist Church. I was waiting for my wife and I decided to get some pics of the old City Methodist Church. i did not see the object until i decided to use the video camera on my phone, which is an lg k7.

when i looked at the phone at the object it was hovering and appeared to be spinning at about the height of the churches roof. It then moved to the left a few feet then to the right, and made a very fast circular motion. it then dipped down below my line of sight for a couple of seconds.

It then came back up still spinning, I think thats when I moved to get in a better position to record what i was seeing, and that's when i lost sight of the object. the wind was blowing pretty hard that day and my first thought was that i was looking at a floating black plastic bag. and it may have been just that, i leave it up to you to decide.

i felt very excited and amazed at what i was seeing at the time of the sighting and after. I have to emphasize that I could only see this object when I looked at i! t in the cameras display screen. The object look as if it changes its shape a couple of times.

It kind of looked like to grey triangles attached side by side, and then back into a cylinder shape laying horizontally. That is why I can't say that it was only one shape. I have also submitted a report to MUFON (CASE#93958).

My husband and I drive a truck across country. We were driving, when he caught my attention and asked what "it" was. My husband and I drive a truck across country.

We were driving when he caught my attention and asked what "it" was. At first I thought it was nothing then it was just hovering there and I took pictures. It was three oval shaped crafts flying in a perfect triangle.

And above them was a flat bottomed something. I'm not sure what it was. Traffic backed up to look at it though.

A group of lights with strange and independent movement were hovering over the southern shores of Lake Michigan I looked out over Lake Michigan towards the north. I saw a dozen or so lights some moving some still. Some were blinking and some were solid.

a few were red in color and they varied in intensity. I was on the southern shore of Lake Michigan looking north.

I observed an object that was extremely bright and appeared to be close to the ground, as if it were an airplane heading to the nearby airport, while traveling eastbound on interstate highway 80/94, about a mile away from the Grant Street exit. The object that was observed piqued my interest, and I searched for other blinking lights that would give it away as either a helicopter or jumbo/private jet. These other lights were not found.

I told my passenger to check it out, to see if he could make out the object better than I could. Eventually even another passenger in the back seat witnessed the object, but could still not determine its origin, nor identify what it was, except for the fact that it was very bright. Shortly afterward, the object disappeared into a cloud, and as we all waited for it to emerge, the light shining through the aforementioned clouds dimmed and was suddenly extinguished.

Note: All observers are males age 21-25 with college-level educations and above-average intellects.

Five black triangular ships sighted in Gary, Indiana city limits close enough for me to get a clear view of what they looked like i was standing outside of my friends house and where they live it is surrounded by trees and bushes but the clearing is circular .(not sure if that's relative) i was looking upward east as i like to look at the stars formations but particularly eastward the sky was cloudy. It seemed like seconds passed when three craft came through opening the clouds zig zagging towards the area i was standing in.

The ships stopped and lined up and waited, and two more ships came straight down and aligned themselves with the first three. They were triangular and black with orange light behind them, they were right above the trees close enough for me to see the shape, the color and lines that looked like how the ships were built.I'm positive they werent stealth planes because they don't stop in the air on a dime and they don't zig zag left to right.

Also the ships made no sound and no vibration even though they were dangerously close. the ships turned to the south and slowly moved away over the trees. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.

PD)).

It was shaped like a thin razor. It was 1000 x 800 vertical rectangle. A black grayish flat shaped object, not moving, about 1000-2000 feet up in the sky.

It disappeared without movement, right in front of my eyes. A half hour later a co worker asked me if I saw strange object in sky. She described it, the same way I did.

white geometrically moving lights on a stationary craft over Gary, IN It was a cloudy evening. And the two witnesses living a mile apart could see 4 fast moving lights (north, south, east and west) that would move, bump each other and go back apart. It was like the spokes on a wheel.

The lights would make a small turn and go back into the center of the 'wheel'. When the lights would 'bump' (in the center) they would stay lit. It was absolutely nothing like a search light.

From the ground using the naked eye, it appeared that the lights were about 4 -5 feet in diameter. The lights were a soft white with lots of movement inside of the actual light. There was no sound at all.

Three triangular glowing lights flying very slowly toward the horizon (I-90 West outside Gary, Indiana) Traveling West on I-90 toward Chicago, somewhere between Gary and Hammond, I saw three isoceles triangle shaped, glowing lights that had a bright, pinkish-white hue and a lighted trail. What caught my eye was their shape, large size relative to their location in the sky, and slow movement toward the horizon. It was completely unlike the typical lights from aircraft flying at night; there was no blinking or flickering, and the size and shape indicated three separate movements.

The lights appeared to be moving in formation. My friend and I watched and were very aware that what we were looking at was extremely unusual. We even thought about watching the news that night to see if any unusual sightings were reported.

The three lights slowly dimmed and disappeared. I searched the sky for about ten minutes afterward and saw no sign of them. When we got into Chicago, we learned that the air show was taking place that weekend, which we figured might have been the cause (although we both maintained this did not resemble airplane flight).

When we first saw the lights my friend was talking on her cell phone with perfect reception. Suddenly the connection completely failed. After the lights were gone she redialed and had a perfect connection once again.

I had not forgotten the event and when I came across this website and saw the large number of reports in and around the Chicago area for that weekend, I felt our experience was validated. ((NUFORC Note: The sightings occurred in Chicago on August 21st, not August 19. We will correspond with the witness to inquire whether the date indicated above is correct.

PD)).

Large Dark Circular Object Hovering Over Highway Me and a friend were heading from Grand Rapids, Michigan to Chicago, Illinois Saturday morning to spend the weekend there. We were just outside of Gary, Indiana at 4:28am when I happened to look up in the sky and noticed a dark, very large circular object hovering over the highway just ahead of us. As we approached, I expected it to move, but it was stationary as we drove right under it.

Unfortunately my friend who was driving had his eyes on the road and missed the whole thing. There were no lights or sound at all. It was about the size of a frisbee at arms length, so it was either very close to the ground or very large.

Our headlights did not illuminate the bottom of the object at all, so I'm thinking it was pretty large.

A lime green light throughout the whole house and the air stone surged with power throwing water 2 feet in the air. ATTN: Peter Davenport On or about 16 years ago, during the summer, my husband and I had returned home at 11 p.m.

(maybe even a little later). We noticed that our home lit up in this lime green light (like fllod lights were on in the house), in our living room we had a fish tank, and the air stone surged in power and was throwing the water as high as 2 ft. out of the tank.

Then when the light stopped the air stone went back to normal. We had thought the high lines might have been struck, but when we asked the electric company, they said no. I asked different people, line men, supervisors, etc.

and they all said it had nothing to do with the lines. This happened outside Gary Indiana in a single dwelling, inside was my husband and I, my 30 year old daughter who was taking care of a 2 1/2 year old boy, and my 16 year old daughter. My 30 year old daughter can confirm this.

Please keep this confidential, like we talked about (name). Add to your records only! I feel this should be noted that this happened, so if someone else this has happened to knows that they are not alone. ((NUFORC Note: Time and date are approximate.

We have assigned an arbitrary date in June 1986. PD)).

I Saw An Alien Face To Face TRUE DARN STORY. In 1986 in Gary ,Indiana i had left my wife and moved in with a buddy at work ,he had the groung floor , i had the basement which was fixed up like an apartment -kitchen-bathroom-bedroom-private entrance- etcetera. After being there a few weeks i began to feel as though i was being wacthed but i kinda shrugged it off.

This would accure every few days i'd catch a glimps of something moving in the corner of my eye and look and nothing would be there.(oh well , i must be tripping) i'd say to myself. Now i must describe my room for your benefit of later events.

it was pretty big 27ft by 40ft and i had a king sized water bed with a headboard with shelves in it about 4ft high(you know the one, everyones got it) full with padded rails and all. in the headboard on a shelf was a gold three cylinder bank ,one cycinder for quarters ,one for dimes and one for nickels ,welded together but each cylinder was at different level and the bank stood about a foot tall (example)>>__ ___ __ Well.you get the idea.

anyway .one night i was sleeping and all of a sudden i just woke up.(i was lying on my left side close to the right side of the bed) AND WHEN I WOKE SUDDENLY ,STANDING IN MY VIEW WAS A 3ft TALL CREATURE !!! It's apearance was smooth it's color was white(I MEAN TRUE WHITE!)there was no hair anywhere , it had BIG BLACK BUG EYES !, NO MOUTH(no slit-nothing), A HUMP WHERE A NOSE SHOULD BE ,NO EARS ,it was just standing there at the side of my bed "LOOKING AT THAT DARN BANK" as if it had never seen anything like it (i guess it hadn't) I SAID OUT LOUD "WHAT THE .

? " GRABED MY PILLOW(some weapon huh.*) AND TRIED TO HIT IT OVER THE HEAD WITH ALL MY MIGHT , BUT MY HAND AND PILLOW "WENT RIGHT THRU IT" causing me to hit my hand on the bed , almost breaking my wrist!!! Excuss me if i'm shouting , but ," NOW. AT.

THIS . TIME . IT .

NOTICED . I. WAS.

THERE"!!!! IT TURNED IT'S HEAD VERY SLOWLY TO THE LEFT AND DOWN TAKING IT'S GAZE OFF THE GOLD BANK (It was AMAZED at) TO LOOK AT ME - "DEAD AT ME!!!" (now the next part took about 10seconds to acure) IT WAS NOW LOOKING AT ME ,IT SLOWLY TILTED IT'S HEAD TO THE LEFT AS IN CURIOUSITY AND I HEARD IT SAY (IN MY MIND!) """Why are you trying to hurt me?""" AND THEN WITH HEAD STILL TILTED , IT VERY SLOWLY FADED AWAY AND WAS GONE!!!!!!!!!!WHEW! Now mind you at the time i first saw it i was terrorfied ,but when it look at me and talked to me in my mind ,I HAD A VERY STRONG FEELING OF PEACE AND LOVE ,Then once it was gone i was scared again!! I was 26 then , i am 42 now ,and i've never seen it again , at the time i told the girl i was with about it and when she'd spend the night she'd wake me up fighting something in her sleep(this had never happened before).also.after that i couldn't see it anymore but i could feel when it was in the room with me (I COULD SENSE IT IN MY MIND!) I also told my roomate ((name deleted)) about it and asked him if anyone had ever DIED IN THAT HOUSE and he said his brother died there when he was an infant! BUT!! WHAT I SAW WAS "NO DARN BABY"(not a human one anyway) Anyway i moved not more than a month later because it was always that FEELING in that basement!! I've told everyone that would listen about that ever sense "AND" I STILL FEEL IT AROUND TO THIS DAY (and i now live in NORTH CAROLINA!!) What the hell is that about!!???? Please understand this.

what if the point i awoke was when they were putting me back in bed OR what if something was (for lack of a better word) INSTALLED on me and i'm being TRACKED !! OR what if i had NOT PANICED and would have said "HELLO i am ((name of alleged alien deleted)) , welcome" maybe it would have shared something with me , INSTEAD I TRYED TO KILL IT AND IT WENT AWAY!!! WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK??? This freaks me out just tallkin about it.it gives me the creeps!! AND FOR THE FOOL SCEPTICS AND NONBELIEVERS " I SWEAR THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON MY VERY SOUL AND MIND BODY AND SPIRIT IF IT DIDN'T ACURE MAY I DIE TODAY!!" ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD)).

Full Report Text:

black cigar shaped craft with smalles craft rising up to the bottom of it. those craft seemed to come and go My grandfather and I witnessed what we thought was a UFO over Lake Michigan Just North of Gary Indian. I was stationary and had several smaller craft coming and going from the underside of the craft.

It remained long enough for my grandfather to step into a dime store and purchase a small video camera. He filmed the craft for several minutes. The film has been lost.

However, it has always puzzled me as to what it actually was. Could have been part of an air show stunt involving a blimp launching small planes? I just thought it was unusual enough to mention, just to see if there were any reports from other people. I'm not solid on the date it was the early 1970's and it was a clear bright day.

we witnessed it from the small hotdog stand the my grandparents ran at the time.
