I saw a silver object flying SE to NE. No Aircraft running lights. I was watching the sky for aircraft as I often do.
I was a TSO for the TSA, and I like to count the number of aircraft I can see at any given Time. I observed a silver oval shaped craft moving quickly from the SE of my position going NE. I am very familiar with the size and shape of most commercial and military Aircraft.
This was not any of them. It was moving after dusk with no running lights or strobes. It was at an altitude of approximately 1000 feet.
As I watched it for several minutes it simply disappeared. The light didn't fad, it was gone. The object looked to be larger than a commercial aircraft.
I judged it to be about a mile or so away and appeared to be the size of a golf ball.

I was leaving Krogers grocery and putting bags in my truck. I looked up and saw 8 spheres or circles in a somewhat triangle formation. I was leaving Krogers grocery and putting bags in my car.
I looked up in front of me and there were 8 circles kind of hovering around, about a I really think 2 miles up. I could be mistaken, but they were close. So they were lit up and would disappear and light up again in a kind of different formation.
Mainly straight line to almost a triangular position. They would light up and one orb would go out shooting off in a downward angular position and light dimming and go out as it shot away, a few of them did that then. Then they would all go out.
Then the lights would come back on in a formation. At this time and very old friend of mine was walking into kroger. I yelled his name and told him "hey im serious come here bro"! He kind of jogged to me, I said look up.
As he looked the lights had just went out. After 20 secs he looked at me like huh? I said no They been doing that, just watch. After I say 45 secs they came back on in the same part of the sky, and started shooting away in motions I couldn't describe, very aerodynamic.
He just looked at me in surprise, I said them were UFOs and he said Yeah I agree. I stared another few mins and left home kind of just staring into the sky as I drove home. I never saw them again.

Bright Lights Moving Erratically over Kokomo, IN. My wife and myself were sitting on our balcony when I glanced upwards at the moon. Conditions were mostly clear, with some high cirrostratus hanging in the moonlight.
I saw a bright light hanging by the moon, which at the time was perhaps 70 degrees above the horizon. At first, I mistook this light for Venus. It possessed a yellow-white color similar to Venus when the planet is bright.
After pointing the light out to my wife, I noticed that the light was solid, failing to twinkle the nature that stars and planets do. As we sat, perplexed, the light began to move, retaining its brightness. The light moved southwards, hanging just above the treeline.
We reasoned that the light must have been emitted by a helicopter, or was perhaps a lantern (which are commonly lit and sent into the sky leading up to the forth of July). Suddenly, the light changed colors, dimming shifting to a magenta somewhere between red and purple. Following the change in color, the light began moving erratically, shooting upwards and circling in a manner that defied our understanding.
The abrupt changes in direction and altitude would undoubtedly be impossible for an aircraft to achieve. As we sat watching this light above the treeline, it seemed to edge closer to our balcony. As it neared, it again shone bright, bright enough to illuminate the street below and our surroundings moderately.
The light continued to inch closer, changing to magenta again, then brightening significantly. It seemed very close, we were honestly a bit frightened by the intensity and movement of the object during these lighting cycles. The object continued to move what appeared to be southwards of our location, as it moved it became obfuscated in part by the treeline.
Even when behind the trees, the brightness of the light was visible through the branches. The object continued to move erratically. Pausing, gliding, then circling quickly in the sky.
Just prior to our losing of the object beyond the trees, we saw another light. This one hung farther in the distance and was much more purple in color than red. We did not see this second object illuminate as the first continued to do so.
Resultantly, we quickly lost the second object beyond the trees. Prior to losing the first object, I managed to record a 1 minute video of the first object, appearing as a grainy spot of light hanging above the trees. Near the end of my video, the object ascends, illuminates and cuts into the trees.
Even in the video, the brightness of the object can be seen through the branches of the trees. I stood vigil for some time after having seen the object. Employing a plane-tracking radar app, I scanned the airspace around us, failing to find a plane that was or had traveled along the path in the sky we saw the object.
Writing this a few hours later, I am quite perplexed. We live perhaps 10 or 20 miles south of a air force base, albeit all this activity happened in the opposite direction of the base itself.

10 or more lights squirmishing. 10 or more red-orangish lights squirmishing, then would vanish and reappear brighter and form a triangle. Some moved in a zig-zag motion, then would dart from left to right and then stay motionless.
Half hour into witnessing this and all disappeared into thin air, after shooting upwards as a bright white light, 10 minutes later reappeared in same spot as they have been. They waited for a regular human aircraft to pass, then all but one disappeared while the one followed the airplane. It would follow right up to the tail and then stop, then follow again and then stop.
Carried on for approxiamtely 2 more miles. My brother, fiancee, and I all witnessed this and are absolutely dumbfounded but amazed to have experienced another UFO experience!.

8-10 glowing orange red-ish orbs passing by as if migrating This was a group or fleet of orange glowing orbs. I live just outside my hometown Kokomo and Russiaville, Indiana. I was on my way into work driving from 26 to Dixon road heading north towards Mikes Pizza and the Speedway.
At first I only saw a couple and thought it wasn't anything special because I always am searching the skies and usually find nothing. There were a few ahead of the rest and at first I thought it was a few of planes, but they had no sound and glides like dancing orange balls. 2 leading and 1 dancing around them.
Have you ever watched how ash off of a campfire floats away off the amber? This is how the entire group was moving but one of them seemed to enjoy moving back and forth up and down dancing with the rest in this same motion. As I passed Center round heading towards alto the orbs had fallen down a lot to a point where I could see very clear it wasn't any plane or flares. I called my wife in excitement telling her I had just seen 3 orbs dancing in the sky heading from the west to the east, as if they were coming from Russiaville area.
As I quickly approached Alto road I was still looking around to keep my eyes on them. This is when I noticed the massive group of about 7-8 more. They were not in any particular order or formation.
I quickly told my wife I would call her back because I had to get some kind of proof of what I was seeing. I pulled over and got the best video recording of it on my phone. Had I seen the entire group earlier I would have pulled off the road much earlier when I was closer to them to get a better recording.
They glided in the sky farther away and extremely quick as if they were just passing by and on a mission. It was truly magnificent to see. In the short video clip, 975 o! f excitement I called them crafts but they weren't.
They were orange red -ish orbs and seemed very peacefully in the air. This is the second event in Kokomo I have experienced but first time ever getting something caught on camera. In 2008 and 2013 we had similar glowing orbs flying in the sky as well.
When I was underneath them, they seemed to act alive and not like a vehicle of some sort. My thoughts would be the orbs were entities themselves passing by or through our deminsion or realm. They glided up and down and moved left to right in a clean soundless dancing motion.
This is why I did not think they were flares or Chinese candles. They moved too quickly and decisively in an intelligent manor.

Orange light flying very slowly around Kokomo, Indiana. While standing outside, I noticed an orange light traveling way too slow to be an airplane, and there was no sound of a helicopter. I went and called a friend to the door so she could see it, and we observed the craft for about 2 or 3 minutes together.
It made no sense and movements, but just travelled extremely slowly across the sky. Then, in an instant disappear, completely. The clothes that seem to be orange in color and did not blink did not flash or have any lights on it like a normal aircraft.

Disks spinning over markland dispersing glowing balls. I was driving down markland, by markland mall and 31 when I noticed a shining circular disk in the sky, pulled over to make sure and just as I did that, it started spinning faster and two other disks came out and formed a triangular shape, while continuing to spin. They dispersed millions of 'ball' like things which were glowing, then disks flew off very quickly and the glowing balls vanished, I'm still very shocked.

Observed light for forty-five min before it moved away. I watched an object in the sky of North central Indiana. The object appeared as a star, but brighter than any normal star in the sky.
Something about the object continuously grabbed my attention and made me pay more attention to it than I would a normal star or planet. I am certain it was not Jupiter or Venus, due to the fact that both of these planets were visible in the western sky and the object in question was much more northerly in direction. I observed the light in the sky for close to forty-five minutes from Kokomo, Indiana north along US-31 to the Indiana State route 10 at the town of Argos, Indiana.
As I passed the Argos junction, I noticed the light began moving in a clockwise rotation in front of me. This lasted almost three seconds for the entire rotation. The object then proceeded in a north western direction towards Plymouth, IN.
I am a truck driver and drive this route five days a week. I have never noticed anything unusual or strange in the sky and I am very familiar with the stars and planets in the sky at night along this stretch of highway. The light stayed stationary for close to an hour before moving, but I was drawn to keep looking at it.
There was something different about it, but I am still not sure what it was besides the movement at the end of the event. I was very shaken by the experience and really need to get some grasp on what I have seen. I have never seen anything stay stationary for so long and rocket off with such speed.
I truly have no idea what I observed, but I know it was no plane or planet.

There were three different objects, in three different directions. Jets seem to be closing in on two of them. Actually I have 3 sightings.
One, was in the western sky, very far away, about 9:00 high. It was rectangular in shape, and was a faint red. It was moving very slowly across the sky in a southerly direction.
After noticeing that one, I turned around, heading back to the house, when I noticed a very bright red light, flashing, in the eastern sky about 10:00 high, much closer than the one to the west. I also noticed a couple of planes fliing northbound in front of it. As I kept watching it, I noticed a couple of Air Force jets to the south of the object.
They seem to have been heading for the light. I ran in to get my camera, and when I came back out, the light had became very dim red. The planes were still in the area of the object.
I turned on the video recorder on my camera, and all I could see was a red ball- like object, moving around on the screen. I will send you a copy of what I recorded. As I turned to come in the house, I noticed another bright light to the south, coming in my direction, slowly.
I kept watching for a few seconds to see what it was, when I noticed another jet approaching that object also. Then, all the sudden, the object vanished. I am not crazy!! This happens around here all the time.
My fiance and I have several other witnesses to events we seen occur this past summer.
Full Report Text:
The three bright objects seemed to be fading from dim to very bright for about fifteen minutes, just as we have seen before many times. My fiance and I saw a bright light in the southern sky, about 10:00 high, while driving south on U.S.
31 heading home. It appeared to be about 5 or 6 miles away from us. As we came up to the intersection of U.
S.26 and 31, a second object appeared to the left of the first. They were fading from bright to dim.
As we turned the corner and pulled into our drive, we observed the the first object get very bright, then vanish. Then a third object appeared just left of the second one. They were about 2 miles from us at this point.
They seem to have red and blue (or greenish) lights flashing when they became very bright. I watched them for about 10 minutes longer, fading in and out, then, they both vanished. There were clouds moving behind the ojects, so we know they were not stars.
We have witnessed these kind of events many times from our back yard. We know they are not Air Force jet flares, because, the night after, when we have reported these events, the jets are in the same area as we report, shooting off flares. There is no comparison to the events we have seen to the flares.
The following night, at approximately the same time, but closer to us, we witnessed the same event, except there were only two this time. The first showed up, fading in and out for about ten minutes, then the second showed up. I called my daughter, who said that one was over the top of her house.
Then she said it dissapeared. About the same time, the first light seemed to have moved to the west close to the horizon, then shot off to the north. After about ten minutes longer, the second object, just seemed to fade out, and was gone.

We keep seeing bright orange lights show up in the sky, fading out, and becoming large stars that dash back and forth. I seen 2 bright large orange lights in the western sky, about 10:00 high in sky. They were there for approx.
1 minute,then disappeared. I have seen them many times, in the same area, about the same time everytime. It ALWAYS happens between 9:40pm to 10:40pm almost every night.
Recently, I have seen them almost every night! On this paticular night, we seen about 8-10 of them. They only lit up big, for a few minutes, but, remained in the sky until about 1:20AM. They looked like large stars moving back and forth, sometimes very fast, other times slow.
They would change directions, speed up, stop, and change directions. Then, would go, at high speeds, to another part of the sky, then stop.We also seen 2 or 3, that were totally different.
They looked like saucers, with lights around them, moving very slow.

Ther was 7 to 9 very bright objects that came from the West sky, stopped, then jetted off to the North. They appeared to come in from the west sky, at about a 10 o-clock position in the sky.

The 7 to 9 bright lights seam to stop simultaniously, then shot off to the North at an incredible speed simultaniuosly., Never loosing thier spacing between each other. This followed an incredible explosive sound, that got the whole town thinking a plane had crashed.

We would very much like for this person to submit a report, as she promised she would. PD.
