All Reported UFO Sightings in Monticello, Indiana

Full Report Text:

Craft flew over apartment at very low altitude and I took a photograph using my cell phone within 30 seconds of sighting I was laying in bed and noticed bright lights in my window coming right towards me as if something was going to crash into my building or go right over these apartments so I grabbed my cell phone and ran to window and took a picture as it flew right over the neighbors building and at first I thought it was a plane until I looked at the photograph which didn't look like any plane I have ever seen and it had lots of lights all over it and it looked triangular or rectangle shaped but this incident lasted maybe 30 seconds and I called 911 and reported it to police and had two officers come over to look at the photograph and they could not identify this object either and then they left after they verified that I had seen something and showed them photograph!.

Eight light objects appeared in a perfectly straight line, 45 degrees off the horizon We saw a perfectly straight line of 8 bright lights in a 45 degree angle off the ground. Each of the crafts was perfectly spaced from the next. After watching and acknowledging it (verbally) they began to separate, again at perfectly even interval distances.

The one highest up then shot off and, in order, they sequentially shot off and disappeared. We thought maybe they were planes, but they hovered in place perfectly for way too long to be a plane and were very bright (we initially thought they were stars). They also moved much too quickly to be any known man-powered craft.

We also used a constellation app on the phone to try to determine if it was a constellation, but the app was unable to detect any major stars or planets where the anomaly appeared in the sky. This may or may not be associated, but a flock of geese began honking erratically and several dogs started barking at the same time we noticed these anomalies.

Walking home from seeing a movie, I noticed an object moving around in the sky. I stopped and looked at it, and noticed it was flying in circles and zig zags, the light got brighter and dimmer over time and when I saw it the clearest I noticed it had 3 lights in a triangle formation. When the three lights were observable, dogs in the neighborhood began barking.

I observed this object for about an hour before it just vanished. ((NUFORC Note: Possibly Jupiter?? PD)).

Dog alerting me something was not right Both my pets acted very unusual.nervous, anxious. I have a cat and a dog.

I had to continually let my dog out and I noticed 3 lights in a straight line that looked like stars at first glance but then I noticed that they were different in color and clarity. More of a blue/white rather than yellow/white and didn't look like the other stars around. I had never noticed this group of stars before.

I saw them at around 20:30. I brought my dog in but he refused to settle down and go to bed. He was very insistant to me that something was not right.

I let him out again around 22:00 and that star formation was completely gone. All of the other stars that were in the vacinity were there but not those 3. My pets acted strange all night.

2 of my other friends with pets told me this morn that their pets acted strange also. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

The two objects were flying at a low altitude. They were moving over Shaffer Lake then to Big Monon Lake (Monticello, IN). The skies were very clear that night.

The stars were shining brightly and there was no overcast. The objects made no sound at all. They were round/circular in shape.

They were traveling at a very smooth pace. The two objects began to elevate higher in the sky while they were moving west and then disappeared. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

6 red stationary lights in formation. 6 red lights in formation, stationary over tree tops in south east direction across cornfield as I was driving home from fireworks with my 16 year old grand daughter. We stopped and observed objects till a car approached from the north.

I drove down and turned around and went back at which time all objects had vanished.

3 bright orange lights flashing in the sky for about 10 seconds then went away, after that big ball of white light falls from sky. We seen 3 bright orange lights separate from each other. The farthest right light flashed then the middle and the third.

after that it just sat there for about 3 seconds then it went away. My friend said it was in the sky on the right then jumped to the left and thats when in flickered. about 5 minutes after the UFO left we seen a big ball of white light go down towards the earth, kinda like a meteor but it was to big for that.

all this was seen at night.

Three fireballs repeated approx. every 30 sec. apart just south of Monticello I was driving on Springboro Rd.

driving north toward Monticello from Ind. 18 at about 8:30 P.M.

when I noticed three fireballs to the northeast of my location. They appeared in quickly one after another, about a half second between each, in an area approx a moon's width apart. The fireballs were a bright orange color, similar to a road flare, and lasted about five seconds, with the first one to appear being the first one to go out and so on.

I continued to watch the area of sky where the lights appeared and continued to see the same three fireball cycle continue for the next 5 to 7 minutes,with the cycle repeating, about every thirty seconds, until I was directly west of the fireballs. I guessed, based on a cell phone tower that the fireballs were in front of, that the fireballs were located approx. 3 to 4 miles southeast of Monticello at a height of 2,000 to 4,000 ft.

There were aircraft in the area that I feel were military but these aircraft were all to the west of my location and were doing some kind of training activities with each other, which is a common thing to see at that time on Thursday nights. This is not the first time I have seen the fireballs, but it is the first time I have been certain it was not a naturally occuring fireball.

Three dots of light in Earth's orbit moving east and then disappeared. I'm sure there is a logical explaination for this: While star gazing and also watching for satellites and comparing with a website which tracks near earth objects, I noticed three "dots" , not UFO's (for lack of a better description) and they were in a 'formation'. One was in the lead, the other two were following, one on either side.

As I watched, I turned on my night vision to possibly get a better look. Looking through the night vision, I confirmed the three objects and noted that they seemed to be travling either East or maybe away from earth. They were not moving really fast or anything, just moving enough that you could tell they were not stars.

They were definately not in our atmosphere, WAY UP. Anyway, the one behind and to the right of the lead one began overtaking the lead one and then they dimmed out into nothing, disappeared, whatever. I don't know.

What was it? You Tell Me? The NEO website did not show three things that were supposed to be together in that area of the sky at that time. I don't believe there are aliens prowling around, I don't believe in them at all. I'm Christian.

If there were, I believe there would be better evidence than what there currently is. One problem I have with UFO sightings is this, If these beings are so advanced and traveled so far to get here to our insignificant planet, then why do they need running lights on there space craft? Don't you think they would be able to move around in the dark without being seen? I just want an idea what this could really be. Can anyone help me with this? ((NUFORC Note: Date of sighting is approximate.

PD)) ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Any Update? I was wondering if anyone had any input on what I previously reported. It was a report of three 'dots' at an altitude of at least satellite height. Looked at them through night vision and got a better look? I would appreciate some kind of possible answers or ideas.

Thanks ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM)) ((NUFORC Note: Possibly a sighting of what are thought to be part of the U. S. Navy "NOSS" satellite system.

PD)).

Lights in the sky Last friday night around 9:00 p.m. I was sitting on my front porch when I noticed a light out of the corner of my eye.

I turned to look and noticed six lights in a circle hovering in the sky. The lights were on for about 10 to 15 seconds then went off. In about 30 more seconds they came back on again about 200 yards to the north and stayed on for about 10 to 15 seconds before they went back off.

That was the last I saw of them. All I could see were the lights. Friday was a very hazy night in Monticello.

Golden/Amber bright star like light glows for 3-5 seconds and fades. Reappears 10-15 seconds in another location. 3 jets scramble the area.

While sitting in a hot tub only minutes after we entered. My wife saw a light and asked if it was a star in the east at about the tree line. It was almost the same size and distance to resemble a star.

But as we looked, it slowly faded. I replied, well I don't think stars disappear. So we kept watching.

Every 15-30 seconds it would appear in a different location but at the same level of horizon but many miles apart. This happened about 10-11 times. While this was happening there were 3 jets that would alternate flying west to east and circle back.

As the jet got closer the light would reappear then fade. At one time as the jet appeared a smaller light left the light object as if a missle tracking a target. This light either circled the jet or just faded as it got closer to the jet.

I commented to my wife that I was expecting an explosion as I felt it was just like the Patriot missle that would track and explode the Scud missle. As soon as this streamer light (which did leave a visible path trail) faded. 2 lights the same size reappeared and one was just above the other.

They lit up for 3-5 seconds and then faded. All this time the jets circled or criss crossed. After 8:15 the objects did not reappear( at least in the East) but I did see jets circling in the north only minutes later.

Also about an hour later the satelite dish which is Dish network was split screen for about 10 minutes. This may just be coincidental. I am very interested if anyone may have seen the same thing.

I am searching the web now and will watch the news tonight. (This is a correction of the date from my previous report. I had listed Jan 26 in error in fact it was Jan 27.

) NUFORC Note: At the request of the witness, we have changed the date here. PD)).
