It was a beautiful sunny day with low cloud cover. I was going home driving eastbound and I looked to the north east and saw bright lights on a sunny day facing westbound. It was the size of a football field at least.
This object was hovering over a barn on 200 North in Greenfield . I then turned to the south and it went invisible in the sky, but I could still see a shadow behind it. After getting home, I went to a trail in town and by this time I was one mile south but directly across from where I saw it before.
So, I looked I. The sky and it came back into view again. This time I saw white and then it looked like it.
Hanged a shape cause then I saw what looked like dark glass windows or mercury but only vertical. It just faded into the sky, went invisible. I couldn’t believe what I saw.
I haven’t told anyone but my family cause I don’t think anyone will believe me. I waited to see if social media would say anything. It’s only been one day but I know what I! saw! (MUFON CMS).

Bright light hovers then shoots upwards. My sister and I were in our car at a stop sign at our local Walmart. In the sky before us was a bright light that seemed to be staying still or maybe hovering.
My sister asked, bewildered, "Is that a light or a very bright star?" The sky was very dark and there were no visible stars at the time. Then, the light started going upwards at a slow speed and we turned, heading home. We were staring at it, turning our heads and craning our necks, just as it shot up into the air and the light was gone.
We were thinking it was a UFO.

Light object in sky during day time on 10/9/13 in Greenfield, IN In Greenfield, IN. Approximately above the Mt. Comfort airport.
(believe it was recently renamed). It was daylight outside and I looked up and saw an object that was stationary in the sky but it seemed to be flashing on and off. My mom and sister both saw the object and were wondering what the light was.
It couldn't have been a star because like I said previously, it was still daylight, around 5:00 or 6:00 pm. I went and grabbed my binoculars to get a better look of the object and surprisingly it was still there for the time it took me to find them. The object was still disappearing and reappearing as if it was blending in with the sky.
I was finally able to get a look at it with my binoculars and I saw two dark circular objects that were in a formation (one was above and the other was below). I lost track of them through the binoculars and looked back up into the sky without them and it was gone.

3 UFOs seen near interstate I70 and Mt Comfort Airport. I am a federal employee and a mother of 2 children. This morning I went outside to check the weather and drink a cup of coffee at about 5:15am before getting ready for work.
I was looking up in the starry sky and noticed two very bright “tracking” objects with a star or planet type appearance. These objects appeared much bigger and brighter than the other stars in the sky though. I then noticed the disc shaped object.
It was hovering in the night sky a large distance away (maybe 3-5 miles). The 3 objects were in a triangular formation, but were many miles apart. The “tracking” objects were hovering parallel to interstate I70 (maybe .
5 miles north of the interstate) about half way in between the Mt Comfort and Greenfield exits. The “main” object appeared to be north of the other 2 objects in the direction of the Mt Comfort Airport. The disc shaped object was lighting up with what appeared to be tracer lights going around the middle of the saucer from left to ! right and then back right to left.
The lights were green and red (going from green to yellowish orange to red in color as they moved). It hovered for about 5 minutes. I then saw a flash, almost like a blue light beam shot out for a split second.
I kept watching it and I saw at least one more quick beam. Then I noticed the object tilt. It tilted to an upright position and the lights then ran north to south.
I know it sounds crazy, but I almost swore I could see something in the beam going towards the object. It hovered like this for another 5 minutes or so. I then had to go to work, so I stopped watching the main UFO and watched the 2 “tracking” objects hover nearby until I could no longer see them.
((NUFORC Note: We suspect planets in the E sky. PD)).

Silver object following plane formation. This was a sunny afternoon. The date is approximate.
But it was before the Mt Comfort Air Show at the Mt Comfort airport which is about 3 miles from my house. I heard the sound of planes coming over the house. Since some pretty old WWII planes come over I wanted to get a closer look.
I was on the screen porch, so I went out in the yard to watch the formation of planes go over. There were 3 planes lined up going overhead. They were going southeast.
I noticed a silver object keeping up with the last plane. Then that plane did a turnaround heading back to the object. When it got near the silver cirle or round dot the object just disapeared.
As the planes were going southeast it seemed to keep up to them at the rear. But when that plane turned around, it held back and went up and disapeared. I immediately went in and told my husband that I saw something I couldn't explain.
It has intrigued me ever since.

Bright Spherical light seen over Hancock County field, disappears I was very young when this happened but the event was witnessed by three other people including my mother, my older sister, and my older brother. In the evening hours roughly between 8:00 and 9:00 P.M.
in the summer of 1980 or 81 (the year is sketchy for me because I was only about 5 years old at the time) My mother, brother and I were on our way to pick up my older sister from a friends house on the backroads of Hancock County, Indiana. It was only a few miles from home on the way back when my mother stopped the car and turned off the motor and began frantically rolling down the window. My brother and I were in the backseat and my sister had shotgun.
My brother and I enquired as to why we stopped and my mother told us to look through the windshield directly in front of us. Upon looking ahead all four of us saw what appeared to be a large round white light moving very slowly and low to the ground from right to left crossing the road in front of us. My mother was trying to get the window down to see if it made a noise, it appeared not to.
When it finally reached the other side of the road above a field the object blinked out like someone flipping a switch and as quick as it appeared it was gone. We were all in awe and a little frightened by this. We did not report this to anyone outside our family, my mother being worried we might become the town kooks or something but we found out later we were not the only ones who witnessed this object.
Apparently a farm family had a terrifying experience a little earlier that evening and had reported it to some sort of investigators I am not sure who, and a burned circular imprint was found in a field close to the family's farm. To the best of my recollection this object somewhat harrassed the family by hovering near the home for quite a long time. I believe this sighting was reported and could maybe be found in some Greenfield newspaper archives.
I have always wanted to report this sighting because the farmer family were not the only witnesses to this astonishing occurence. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date of sighting is approximate. We will invite the witness to attempt to locate the articles.
PD)).

Three lights in the shape of a triangle. I was looking at this web sight for the first time and saw an event entered 5/1/2005 that must be the same event that I experienced. The writer dated the event 5/12/1980 but said he wasn't sure.
I think the event was approximately September of 1978 or 1979. I was 16 or 17 and driving home from work on interstate 70. I was headed east from Indianapolis to Greenfield.
I would say somewhere between the Mt. Comfort Rd. exit and the Greenfield exit, I saw 3 lights in a triangular shape.
The lights were primarily white but I do remember some occasional red and blue. It would have been around 9:15 based on where I was on my trip home. The lights moved in relation to each other and formed different sizes of the same triangle.
I exited interstate 70 at Greenfield and turned north on highway 9. I then went approximately 1 mile until I reached 300 north and turned west. (I was still headed home) Very shortly after I turned onto 300 north, I could see something above me.
I have always described it as a "density". It was too close above me to make out a shape. When I looked up, it was big enough that I couldn't see sky on any side of the object.
I have also always said it was probably bigger that two 2 story houses. I have also said it would be like standing under a large passenger jet, that is on the ground, and looking up. You could just see the underneath.
I couldn't see the lights at that time and I could not make out the color of the object, just that there was something above me. There was no sound. I am guessing this lasted for just a few seconds until I drove past it.
I went home and made it by my normal time which was approximately 9:30. I told my parents and they could tell I was visibly excited. The next morning, I was sitting in my high school home room and they came over the intercom and said the National Enquirer was in the office and wanted to interview anyone having seen a UFO.
I did not go because I was too embarrassed to get up in front of the home room. I do not know if anybody went. That evening, the Greenfield Daily Reporter ran a front page article.
In that article, it reported finding markings in a field. These markings were found somewhere on the opposite side of highway 9 than I had turned. I turned to the west of 9 and these were found on the east of 9 and at about the same area as 300 north.
I feel it must have been headed east when I saw it. I match my dates due to where I was working. I really felt it was in the fall because of feeling new in the home room class.
I did go back to the Hancock County Library a couple of years ago and tried to find the paper. I was unable to find any article, but I did concentrate on the fall only. I will make an attempt to go back soon and start checking all of 1978 and 1979.
I will also check to make sure that all of the papers are there. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD)).
