A group of lights moved across the sky. Working in a rail yard, I looked up to the horizon and saw what I thought was a group of stars. I then saw that the mass of lights moved from the west to the east until it went behind a treeline.

The lights were moving at a rapid speed for about 2-3 minutes. My coworker also saw the group of lights. We grabbed our phones to video it, but the lights would not show up on screen.

A helicopter then came into the area and appeared to be following it.

Walking further down the street a neighbor video taping said he seen the same exact thing.After a discussion we all left but remain outside. A few minutes later we all seen 8 more fly across the sky ( same orange-ish circular shaped light)then dissappear.

One of the flying objects came back south bound stopped in its tracks, sat there ,blinked, then dissappered into thin air. Whatever it was it was not a aircraft. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Red light moving in odd manner over Hammond, IN I was picking someone up from a meeting, and was talking to someone else when someone drew our attention to the north sky about 35 degrees off the horizon. A red light, moving straight but irregularly and not fast. It was pinkish red and was pulsating and fading irregularly.

It got to a point where it stopped and hovered for about 30 seconds after having moved in a way at neither rotorcraft or fixed wing craft move. It seemed to be just below the cloud cover which was high, and likely too high to Be anything radio controlled. After hovering it moved due north and eventually faded out of sight.

5 or six people with me saw this, and were alarmed. I got video but it's far off and not too stable.

round green light followed by smaller ufos above hammond indiana Me and my buddy were in my garage listening to music. Around 2:15 we came out the garage to go get some water. I looked up and saw this round green light.

It was pretty big. As soon as i saw it, it zoomed from above me to behind the treeline in front of me. I was in shock telling my buddy what i saw, so we both sat in the driveway looking up at the sky.

For five minutes we kept spotting ufos. He would see one then i would and once we saw one at the same time. After i saw the round green ufo, the other ufos were smaller or farther away.

My buddy said he saw one that had a bright blue light. They were flying past us pretty fast so they were hard to spot but together we saw about 6 or 7 ufos.

Pulsating light making circles shooting out different colored balls leads to what looked like an explosion with a flume of smoke rising I was driving south on highway 912 in Indiana when I saw what looked like a shooting star. It was a white color with a long tail that was following it then smaller different colored balls shooting off of it. So I initially thought it may have been a firework, then suddenly it began making vertical circles and followed into a zigzag motion.

Seeing this I decided to pullover and take a better look because I was on my motorcycle. The portion of highway I was on is raised so I had a good view over looking the buildings below easily. When I pulled over the tail stopped and know it was a pulsating red object that was also turning white and was still shooting off balls that were colored green, purple and red they were shooting off in three's and from those balls a couple other even smaller balls were shooting off.

Then a guy in my class pulled over wondering in front of me so I pulled up to him and asked him if he saw what was looking at? He actually pulled over to see if I needed help. So I pointed out the light to him which was only pulsating bye now which at first he had trouble identifying at first because of airplanes in the sky. Then we watched the light move west in a zig zagging motion along with an up and down movement with figure eights and swoops.

After about five minutes we were going to leave and it pulsated real bright and I pointed it just in time to see it drop to the ground and the sky lit up like a bomb was dropped and where it lit up a smoke flume rose into the air. After the explosion which looked like it was about 4 or 5 miles away directly south southeast of chicago. The object rose back into the air dimly light at flew in a northwest direction quickly.

Then I left to go home.

Evening clear sky air ship with two bright lights turning on two more total four with red flasher on top. While driving home my wife and I observed a very brightly lighted object in a clear late evening sky. It was in the East,later found to be moving West.

From this distance we observed a small red flashing light on top.But the front was very brightly lighted with white lights.Our sighting begin about six city blocks away.

By the time we were less then a block away we could tell the direction it was heading. It stood out to me because it was heading East to West in a flight corridore that flies jet planes North to South every hour into OHare and Midway at approx. 20 to 40 planes an hour.

It appeared to my untrained eye to be maybe a mile in the sky.As it begin to fly over us as we stopped at a stop sign we observed two more same sized bright white lights come on making four lights straight across.The lights were so bright no shape of the ship could be observed.

I looked straight up at it only to see the four bright lights.We proceeded to make a left turn at which time we stopped and saw nothing except a distant object going West miles in altitude and several miles away. If this was indeed the same vehicle it had increased altitude greatly and air speed in a very short time.

Local papers carried nothing I could find regarding the story.

Silent craft with 4 bright lights one red on top that floated then excelerated far and high in seconds. My wife and I were driving home on a clear sky dark evening.A mile from home we could see a very bright lighted object in the sky.

The light was clear/white. We were on 173rd st.going east.

As we came to a stop sign one block from home it was floating above us heading southwest.Two round overpowering clear lights were on. As it moved closer two more lights same size came on.

Now there were 4 in a row.They didnot shine down. They just kept us from making out the shape of the craft.

It moved west right over us.Then in seconds took off north then southwest out of sight.Big to very high and small in seconds.

It did not even seem to turn but just reversed direction. One small red light on top.No sound.

Probably 5 miles in altitude and ten miles down range in seconds.The lights made it impossible to tell the shape of the vehicle.The two additional lights came on seperately like switches were thrown.

This normally crosses the commercial flight path to midway and Ohare air ports in Chicago. No planes were present during this sighting.

A floating, rolling silvery-black disk flies over the treetops in Hammond, Indiana. The object I saw was a silvery black disk that both rolled like a tire in the sky and floated all at the same time above the trees. It looked somewhat square-shaped with rounded edges.

It was heading in a north to south direction, in a straight line, right above the trees. It was fairly small in size and compact. A non-commercial plane had just flown over the house in an east-west direction.

I had looked up at the plane when I saw the object. ((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness on several occasions, and we found her to be seemingly quite serious-minded and credible. She described at length her sighting on the Jeff Rense Radio talk show on Friday, November 1, 2002, and the archived radio program is available at .

UFO over Hammond. I was walking to a night class at the Hammond career center when saw A large object behing the hammond civic center. I approached the object which was 300feet in the air.

it had three light that looked white on each point of the triangle. The object was not point on the ends but rounded off. it floated there not making a sound.

It didn't move for a few minutes but as I started to walk away from the object, it seemed to follow me. I ran into the building and never told anyone. Aftee class was over, I took the same route home but not found no object.

I thought it could have been light fixtures around the building but it followed me. I was a 16 year old black kid living in a rough neighborhood. I didn't report anything because I thought only white people saw things like that.

I was sitting in front of the window listening to the radio one night and saw this object slowly descending, like the sun setting on the horizon until it disappeared. It was shaped rather like a pencil that has been sharpened at both ends. It was a bright, glowing yellow with two equally bright orange bands which seemed to have a few greyish-green round windows? along the bands.

It was moving vertically and the craft was also vertical as if standing on end. I watched it descend and saw it through the trees. I thought it was going to land until I realized it was beyond the horizon.

It took maybe 20-30 seconds. I don't know if it made a sound as I had headphones on and was looking out the window. This happened a long time ago when I was in high school.

I was the only one to see it. I would have called my dad into the room except by the time I realized what I was seeing, it was gone. It was very bright in the sky on a clear night, and I remember looking at the clock and noting it was 1:00 a.

myseld and several witnesses encounter a glowing ball on a lovely summer night in about 1976 This happened when i was about 11 or 12 at a school yard in Hammond, Indiana. I'm reporting many years later. It was a lovely summer evening.

Myself and several boys around my age were just killing time in a school building alcove we called the cage. It was covered by the building and had to open sides. The side nearest the parking lot and an open area of blacktop and school yard and a ball field.

And just to our right or southwest of our location was an old tree. After going over these events over the last years I have always wondered why this particular tree was saved from being sawed down being it was the only tree around. They had even blacktopped around it.

I know,having no proof,believe the tree was spared because other people may have seen what I saw and believed the tree had some significance. So as myself and my friends were sitting there on the beautiful summer night. I was the first to notice it.

A glowing ball like object floating over the tree.It h! ad the same color white as you see in many scifi movies,that bright white light. Although my friends were scared of the object,i have always been very daring and I walked right up to it.

My friends followed when they saw I was safe. I have to say, when I say I walked up to it, i mean I got closer, but before I could actually stand underneath it, it moved. Like a steak, very fast movement.

I would characterize the movement as, zipping. Well it moved to the back part of the school the other side then we were that was considerable darker.We all followed in wonder.

As we reached the new location it was situated a little higher then previously. About phone pole high. I could here some neighbors who had been out walking their dog, referring to the object.

But I don't remember exactly what they were saying. But I do know they were acknowledging it. As I walked off to it's west profile,it started shrinking in it's space,and shaking.

It reminded me of how small grass spiders shake their we when! I used to poke at them with small stick,or like when vehicles! travel very fast,they shake. By the time i realized that it wasn't shrinking in place but actually traveling away at the perfect angle to give the false impression. And just as I realized what was truly happening it was gone.

We all went home and I told my mother who didn't believe me. So she called the oldest boy with us that night who was a very honest kid. He currently holds a position of prominence locally.

Now I have never compared stories with any of the other boys involved. Other then my mothers phone conversation with the one boy.One boy has since passed.

And when I did manage to run into one of the other viewers ,and remembered to ask about it. This one boy told me that severe alcohol abuse had removed all memory from that time.
