Traveling southbound on us 52 near the intersection of county road 450 I witnessed four lights in a row that were just hovering above the highway and a nearby field. Three of the lights were similar in shape to rounded street lights but much brighter and white, the third light was blinking extremely fast next to that light was a bright red light. he middle of the white lights had a white hue around it similar to that of a flashlight .

I at first thought it might of been a life line helicopter landing. The closer I got to it the more it just looked off, the lights were either moving apart or the closer I got the more space I noticed between the lights. I didn't witness anything between the light, but I saw something like a field or something around them in like a rounded rectangular shape.

It wasn't until I driver underneath it and heard my car echo similar to going under a bridge or in a tunneI decided to get out and take a picture of it or a video or some! thing because I didn't hear it and realized that it was right on top of me. As soon as I parked my car and opened my door it was gone. I didnt see it fly away and I don't think I heard it.

Initially observed lighted mass upon leaving south side Urgent Care and it appeared to be above or close to grocery plaza on 231. When we approached Alcoa on Teal we both thought there was a small plane above the factory with various lights both flashing and non but as we got closer realized it was not a small plane and it wasn't really moving. It appeared to be hovering and although it was dark and almost 9:30 pm, we could make out a triangular shape.

The size appeared to be that of a small car in length. 5-6 ft maybe? As we turned left onto US 52 it was no longer in sight.

Look like eclipse of Sun as just a slither could be seen, like something transparent covering the Sun, but Sun had been down for 45 mins? After I thought about it, I thought maybe it was some odd reflection in the sky of the Sun in the West, as it was low on the Horizon also. But the size was too Large for it to be anything but Sun, Moon, or unexplained object in sky. I went home to get Wife and Son to see it, but it was gone.

In fact I asked my Son if there was an event he forgot to tell me about as he follows weather closely. I am sure someone seen besides me, as roads were fairly busy at the time. I have seen comets before, or One burn in the sky, but this was stationary and Large.

Sometimrs 4-5 flashing in 2 different color lights. Hovering or darting in quick movements at most times. It moved from side to side amd up and down in quick motions.

Within half an hour there was 8 commercial planes that flew around it which is unusual for that many in this area. At this time is moving south but losing visibility due to larger trees and its quickness.

Large blue light streaked across sky. Sitting outside with friends. It had been storming all day, and the night sky was foggy.

There was a large, bright blue light that streaked the sky east to west. It was as fast as a shooting star, but much larger, or closer in orbit. Too fast for a plane or helicopter.

Travelled in a straight path and then disappeared.

Very bright, fast moving, unrealisticly maneuvered. I was riding my bicycle when a light in the sky caught my eye. I looked up and saw a very bright circular object flying through the sky.

I don't believe that it was your average aircraft because it was going way to fast, and it was manuevering in a way I've never witnessed. And it took a very sharp turn and disappeared.

Maybe a drone, small dark object moving in random directions, also staying still Looked up into the sky to see the stars, then saw a really small circle looking thing going up and down, then in random directions. Had no light, thought at first it was a shooting star, but it was moving in different directions and stopping at one place. Ran for my mom, and she saw it too.

Shoes are covered in snow lol.

A long string of nearly white (towards yellow) lights moving along a line from south to north. February 24, 2014 On the evening of October 19th, 2013, at approximately 7:00 PM, we were driving south on Interstate 65, approaching Mile Marker 175, when we noticed across the horizon in front of us extending from south to north a random string of mostly white lights. We counted over fifty in the sky at a time.

Each was small in size and not connected to any others but traveling at the same speed and staying mostly within a formation. The lights were singular, moving in the same direction and at the same speed with some minor movements and adjustments detectable, some singles, some doubles and some triples, but each appearing to move individually. It took over two minutes to reach from where each light first came into view from the south before it left our line of site to the north.

All told, we watched for more than five minutes, first stopping on the Interstate and then driving ahead to the nearest exit and stopping again in a safer location. The altitude appeared to be greater than 2000 feet but less than 3500 feet, based solely upon our experiences living in close proximity to a small regional airport for many years and witnessing many small plane take-offs and landings as well as fly arounds. There was no sound recognizable emanating from the white lights as could be detected over the sound of the vehicles on the highway.

We captured two short sections of video with an iPhone which clearly shows what we were witnessing.

3 orange lights in a delta pattern, moving north, then north-east. As I was driving through Lafayette around 10pm on June 22nd 2013, I started to see 3 bright orange lights in a delta pattern in the sky in the direction of the moon, between clouds, south-east of where I was. It was a somewhat cloudy night, the moon was only visible on and off.

At that point I was at the coordinates +40° 24' 17.18", -86° 52' 46.19".

I kept driving, and the lights seemed to be moving north. I eventually stopped and got out of the car. I didn't hear any noise in the direction of these lights, and they soon disappeared from view behind trees.

At that time they seemed to be moving north-east. It seemed to me that the 3 lights were from 3 individual crafts. Unfortunately I didn't have a camera with me that day.

It is difficult to estimate how high these objects were in the sky or how fast they were really moving. They could have been as low as 300ft moving slowly, and as high as 3000ft, moving faster.

Spiraling white lighted craft or object that disappeared, no noise,.not moving at fast speed, moving east. Upon walking my girl-friend to her vehicle around 11pm, I noticed what appeared to be an aircraft light in the eastern sky, maybe 5 to 10 thousand ft.

aloft. This object was not making any type of typical aircraft engine sounds, such as jet engines, or prop engine noise. My girl friend noticed that it seemed to rotate, like a thrown football spiral, as it did this, the only light coming from the object was white, which seemed to get brighter with the phase of each time it rotated around, and then slightly dim as it spiraled.

We watched this object for almost a minute head east, no other strobe lights could be seen blinking, only white light. At that point, the object's white light started to dim, and eventually went out all together, not because of it moving away I don't believe,we watched a short time longer waiting to see if it came back on, it did not. The object was totally silent, uncommon for having an airport nearby in Indianapolis, and at Purdue Univ! ersity.

Someone needs to check this area or skies out at night, not the first time seeing this.

Giant teal sphere over Lafayette, Indiana I was standing outside smoking a cigarette with my girlfriend. We were both looking over to the eastern part of the sky and saw a big, bright, teal-colored sphere with a foggy aura about a quarter of the size the moon would appear in the sky but lower. The object just kind of manifested and traveled to our left in an arching trajectory then vanished.

The sky was partly cloudy, but the aura of the object didn't appear to be caused by clouds directly. It seemed to have a second layer of fogginess around it, but it's hard to describe exactly. The object was bigger than anything I have ever seen in the sky.

Bright orange lights over Lafayette Indiana I stepped outside my apartment complex cause I heard a firetruck but as soon as I walked out the door I seen three bright orange lights traveling from east to west. They where moving fairly slow and at a low altitude. After they passed the apartment the light faded out quickly.

Then two more appeared, I yelled to my friend there are ufo's in the sky and a neighbor a few doors down popped around the corner and said there is more in the front. We went out front (east part of the building) and there was three more totaling eight that I had seem. They too flew west over the building and disappeared shortly after.

The light just vanished and you couldn't tell anything ever happened. The neighbors boyfriend said he saw ten on his way home. It is a very clear night and there isn't a cloud in the sky.

It's odd how they vanished the way they did with the clear conditions. This isn't the first sighting I've seem in Indiana but it is the first I've seen in Lafayette. I've seen them in Kokomo, In also.

floating object and strange lights in the sky. I work night shift at the Clarian Arnett Hospital as a nursing assistant. I was on my way back from getting food on my break around 2:10 am, and saw a floating object directly over the intersection in front of the hospital.

It was just over the traffic lights. I stopped (at a green light) to see what it was but cannot wrap my head around what I saw. It was grayish blue, there were no streetlights just car headlights, it is very dark around the hospital, and I estimate it as being the size of a large dog.

To me it looked like some sort of creature, floating silently and slowly straight up. No drifting or blowing in the wind. It had what looked like a very large head with the rest of the body which did appear to have 4 appendiges about the same size as the head, and it appeared to be almost upside down.

it didnt move, just floated up as if being lifted from the sky. I turned around and went back, and it was gone. I parked in the back of the hospital parking lot and a man with a little boy were walking out to the road pointing and looking where the object had been.

I walked up to him and asked if they saw it too and if they knew what it was. He said that he did, he was able to see it from up close to the hospital. But he didn’t know what it was either.

It was gone. I don’t know hoe it could have disappeared so fast or whether anyone else in the cars saw it. Looking out the windows that night I noticed the moon was large, and there was a very large very bright light that stayed in the same proximity to the moon the entire night.

And could see many tiny and very far away green lights appearing and disappearing and streaking the sky above. 2 of the RN’s I work with also witnessed this. The next 2 nights I’ve seen nothing and the moon is gone.

I am baffled and terrified.

The white light was never flashing and was the only color observed.
