Formation of 7 UFOs made patterns in the sky before following a pure white Jet. Went to let the dog out, saw it was a nice day, so I stepped outside. Thought I saw geese at first, but then I saw the silver color shining in the light.
Ran in to grab my phone and take a video. The silver objects started making formations. One jet was shiny and one was pure white, it didn't even glisten in the sun.
The formation followed the white jet. Witnessed by a 57 year old white female. Additionally, this is not my first sighting here.
This is the first sighting I saw so many and was able to take video.

I am being spaceship stalked, abducted, trafficked, kidnapped, madamed, pimped, raped, assaulted by alien terrorist criminal network. I had a coke stolen from my work lunch on 4/11/23 despite seeing no one and there being no one who could have done this as it was sitting beside me the entire time. I was also mass spaceship stalked on the night of 4/11/23 as I went home from work.
There were two spaceships incredibly low to the sky and more in the distance. They are torturing me via V2K (alien criminal terrorists) 24/7. I work every day (I am about to take some overtime in the coming weeks and work overnight) from 3:00pm - 11:30pm at Ball State.
This happens daily and they are threatening me badly via V2K and other alien technologies every day. They are torturing me "slowly and agonizingly" to death and are threatening to murder, attempt murder, totally and partially replace, abuse, rape, assault, batter, maim, mutilate, torture, and etc. me and other reported victims (everyone I've ever known).
They are also causing me to pass out nearly, "grey out," "black out," "fall asleep," and etc. at work, usually at night near end of shift, while driving, and immediately after getting home and just before getting inside. They deleted another report I made to here (I made several) and possibly the last.
END.

Driving down Mcgalliard between Baskin Robbins and speedway, I seen a light flash in the sky that was bright white/silver. I processed to pullover to take a better look, My Wife, and oldest daughter seen it as well. Then the light stayed steady and moved really fast across the sky out of view.
THIS IS NOT A HOAX OR JOKE. Seeing what I did last night made me a true believer. I still can't stop thinking about it.

Bright stationary object with light that started to blink very low to the ground and very close by My mother had claimed to see a bright, blinking object several nights in a row at the same time outside the back windows of her apartment (to the west/sw). I figured it was a star or a plane, because there is an airport nearby and bright blinking stars and planes head in that direction (west) constantly. Tonight (4/17/19) I kept an eye out, and before bed (10:30pm), I looked out and to the southwest I saw a very bright light, VERY low to the ground, definitely wasn't a helicopter (we have them all the time and they are loud), would have maybe been over McGalliard Road or close to it, hard to judge, but definitely CLOSE.
It looked stationary and like it was turning and the light (like a spot light) started to blink. I hurried away to get my mom, literally not 2 minutes, and it was gone. My mom has claimed that when she sees it, she feels it knows she is watching, then it zips off like a flash.
I never saw it leave. It was just gone after I got here and went to the window. I am generally a skeptical believer, but I have been looking out here for 22 years at this location (just observing the night sky, not looking for UFOs), and this wasn't something normal.
I, too, felt like it knew I saw it, although I can't say why I felt that way. It looked like a large object (details indistinguishable because the light was turning in my direction and blinding) with a very bright light attached to it that started to blink brightly as the object turned to my direction. lol NOT NORMAL AT ALL.
Oddly enough, I saw something very similar nearby in the country about twenty years ago. I'm going to watch for it again the next few nights since it seems to be returning. I immediately went to google to see if there have been in any sightings recently here, and found this website and decided to leave this report.
I'll report again if I see it again. Honestly, I don't see how no one else saw it, considering how low and bright and big it looked (not huge, but bigger than a star/plane/or helicopter). There was no sound whatsoever.
I thought my mom was crazy, but now I am wondering myself. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

Unusual solid bright white light slowly traveling across the night sky. I work a late shift at Ball State University’s Bracken Library (6PM – 3AM) and while I was talking a walk outside during my lunch hour at approximately 9:40PM I was suddenly overcome by an unexplained chill. Although it was 70 degrees Fahrenheit, I began shivering and my teeth were chattering as if I was walking outside in freezing winter temperatures.
At that moment I looked up and saw a brighter than a star solid white light very slowly moving steadily from the southwest towards the northeast. Thankfully there were three airplanes in the sky as well. The airplanes were obvious due to their familiar flashing lights and shape definable by their security lights on the tips of the wings and tail.
The object I saw was no airplane. There were no flashing or pulsing lights and no sound. It just a bright solid white light a little bigger and brighter than the surrounding stationary stars and it steadily moved very slowly across the entire arc of the sky in a straight line from southwest to northeast in about two minutes.
After it was out of sight my experience of the chills ceased and it felt like 70 degrees Fahrenheit should. Although I mysteriously developed the chills during the sighting, I can report zero feelings of apprehension or fear. In fact it was as if I had no feelings about the sighting at all (and it is my fourth UFO sighting in my 43 years of life).

Opalescent orb witnessed in east-central Indiana sky. I was taking a break at my night supervisor job at Ball State University’s Bracken Library and while looking out a south facing window, I witnessed an opalescent orb suddenly appear about mid-sky and immediately shoot off towards the East. The entire sighting lasted about five seconds.
Cloud coverage was spotty. The orb did not reappear after passing behind a cloud. I watched the sky for several more minutes and did not see the orb again.

Flashing lights everywhere in sky. For the last three times that I took psycehdelics, lights appeared in the sky and were flashing at me. These lights appear to be in morse code.
They change direction very fast and change colors from purple to yellow. I finally took a video last night of my encounter. Any person that i've shown is amazed at what I have to show to them.
I have been trying to communicate with them through though projection. I keep asking them for their help since humanity is on the path to extinction. I've concluded that they can not be planes because all planes follow direct paths and can not move at all directions.
It can not be a glare because nothing was flashing different colors around me. Sometimes I see multiple flashes going off at once in the sky and they seem to dance around each other. I've seen some of their spacecraft but it's hard to get them on video since the lights are so faint.
They travel at speeds that I've never seen before. No human technology is close to what I can see in the night sky. I try to put a sane mind on it everytime it happens but I know and feel what I saw.
Aliens are amoung us and they are here to save this planet.

Bright white light from craft vanishes instantly over I-69 north around Muncie/Warren area in Indiana. We were driving north on i-69 and saw what we thought was a plane. It was shortly after exit 278.
We noticed it only because the light looked neat across the clouds. We looked at it not for very long and then it just vanished. We saw no more light.
It was a bright white light and we saw no other red green lights like you do on an airplane. It was lower than a normal plane would be in that area. Even if it was a plane and turned directions we would have still seen a light.
We dont know what it was.

Dark saucer shaped craft with lights seen hovering over Ball State University I was walking down the street near Ball State University with some friends and I noticed a saucer shaped form in the night sky. Although the sky was dark, the object was noticibly darker with 3-5 (I can't recall exactly) lights on the bottom half. It appeared to be hovering in one spot on the sky a few hundred feet above the ground a mile or so away, but still looked pretty big.
Everyone with me saw it and believed it to be a UFO! ((NUFORC Note: Witness provides no contact information. PD)).

A light that could be mistaken for a satellite except for ita erratic movements. While taking my dog out I was viewing the stars. I began to see movement and assumed it was a satellite, I have viewed them before.
What caught my attention it suddenly went backwards very quickly. As I continued to watch the object planes were flying by but again this object was very high up. The object began to move erratically, first straight up then it made a 90 degree turn.
It would move at angles and then radically move in a saw blade motion. I tried to capture it on my cell phone but really did not have much success. I am not saying its extraterrestrial, my first thought was military.
I was amazed at its ability to move so quickly and in so many different directions. If we have this type of technology it has never been reported to my knowledge. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Sighting of multiple triangular shaped objects with yellow & orange/red lights moving across the sky near Muncie, IN. 500 Lights On Before this sighting, I was a huge skeptic about this stuff. I'm still not sure what these were, but I do know what I saw doesn't match up with anything I have ever heard of, read about or seen before.
I am not an aeronautical expert or even hobbiest, but I can't get the piture of these things out of my head and have been doing research all day. I came across this website where I have read several peoples' desciriptions of similar sightings and thought I would share my own. The time was between 2:30 and 3:30 AM.
I was catching a ride home from a friend and had some trouble getting into my house that night. I had recently moved away and was back to visit and I forgot to grab a key from my dad. Anyways, my friend offers to let me crash at his place, so we make the 5 or 10 minute drive it takes to get to his place.
We pull up and I grab a couple things from his back seat before we turn and start to head towards his side door. At this point, we are facing East with a full(ish) moon off to our right. I honestly don't remember who saw them first but there in the sky, traveling in a general north-east direction, are 3 objects moving in perfect synchrination.
There appearance was triangular, and they all looked the same. They appeared to have yellow lights on each corner of their respective triangles with an red-orange light in the center. As they traveled we noticed that the formation they were moving in was a giant perfect triangle.
The thought occurred to me that we might actually be looking at one distinct object, but they were fairly high up and it was dark enough to make it dificult to tell for sure. A couple other things of note from this sighting: (1) it was very dificult to determine how fast and in which direction they were heading. I am also fairly certain they were not on a strait course.
There appeared to be some back and forth movement in their route. (2) The lead object (or appeared to be the lead), disappeared about halfway through the sighting just as an additional object appeared back towards where we first noticed them. No idea if this additional object was the same object that moved very fast without us noticing or an entirely different object all together.
(3) We heard absolutely zero sound coming from these objects even though they moved fast enough that it would be expected if they were using any human technology that I am aware of. At the end of the day, I still do not know what these things were, but I can say that I much more open to the possibility of there being something else out there that we are sharing this universe with. Hope someone out there has seen something similar and can share some information or at least theories.

My husband called to tell me that he saw something in the sky that was moving very fast, up, down, left and right. I went outside and saw it. I have a high powered telescope and I brought it outside.
My husband arrived home a few minutes later. I focused on the object the best I could since it was moving. At one point I centered on the object.
It was light grayish blue with a dark circular center. It had several dark thick and thin lines. Some were very thick and dark and other were faint and almost looked cellular and like it had veins.
The object hovered for some time. Meanwhile we also saw several military jets flying in the area, but lower. I googled "doughnut shaped UFOs" and saw several images that were similar to what we saw.
The object appeared to drop or shoot something out of it a couple of times. The UFO also had light, but I do not think its the same type of light that our aircraft has, it was almost like the whole thing glowed blue. I do stargaze quite a bit and I would say that the object was quite large and very bright from the ground, yet it appeared to glow once we saw it through the telescope.
((NUFORC Note: We have amended the date above to December 04, 2012. PD)).

A friend and I we're driving down a country road shortly after mid night when I noticed a very bright star or planet that almost just appeared. It was Orange in color and was very bright, we were in awe of its size and brightness. As we were looking and trying to determine what it was it started to move very slowly and take a triangle shape with twinkling lights on each point of the triangle, the lights were almost pulsating.
The craft kept moving in a very slow, linear path that looked like it was coming directly towards us. It passed just to our right and was only 1,500-2,000 feet in the air, as it came closer we quickly determined it wasn't any airplane or helicopter because it made no sound. When the craft passed us we noticed 3 more with identicle shapes appear, they were also moving slowly and had the same linear path just spaced further apart.
As we watched the other crafts as they moved closer we noticed one craft that was almost directly infront of us drop a small, light-like object to the ground. My friend and I were already kinda freaked out about seeing these objects and became almost scared when we saw one drop something to the ground. These crafts continued their straight, slow paths and when they passed they just sorta disappeared.
We drive for another 5-10 minutes before arriving at our destination, when we arrived we continued to look in the eastern sky where these crafts were coming from and ended up seeing three more that went right over our heads. We got very good looks at the ones that went right over our heads, they were definitely large black triangles with lights on each point and a few lights in the middle and along the edges. They were moving very slow and had no sound until they were just past us, then we heard a very light propulsion-like engine sound.
All of these objects basically just appeared and were all uniform in size, shape, and color, but their lights differed in slight color and patterns of the pulsations. My friend and I are just a couple regular, football loving, family guys and neither one of us have ever seen anything that compares to what we saw this night. After seeing these objects we tried to come up with logical explanations as to what these things were and we came up with nothing.
Neither of us are aviation experts, but due to the size, altitude, sound, and light configurations we were both very confident these objects were not planes or helicopters or weather ballons.

Glowing Fire Colored Orb in the Sky At 8:45PM, In Muncie, Indiana, at approximately 180ft Northwest of the intersection of Reserve and Centennial Avenue, I saw a single fire colored circular orb of light in the sky travel Northeast for a distance of about 100ft then it traveled backward stopping for a moment close to its original Northwest position.It made a spiral jerking motion as though it were wavering before it continued forward fluidly again in the opposite direction for a distance of about 275 Ft and simply vanished like it was never there.It did not travel into the distance becoming dimmer, it literally vanished as if the light had been extinguished without any trace.
I was accompanied in this sighting by a random neighbor who happened to be driving and actually pulled over in his vehicle to park and observe this phenomenon.

1 orb hovering in sky and exploding in a ball of blue light before disappearing. On December 2nd, 2011in Muncie, Indiana at around 11:00pm I witnessed what I believe to be a Extra Terrestrial space craft fly across the sky at a tremendous speed then erupting into a ball of light and vanishing. I was not able to get any pictures or video because the encounter was so quick if I would have hesitated to look up into the sky I would have missed it.
Earlier that day I had an intense feeling of being watched. It felt almost as if there was someone watching my every move through out the day. As I drove down the highway from Northern Indiana back down to Muncie I had noticed a blue orb hovering in the sky.
At first I thought nothing of it thinking it was just a nearby radio tower or an airplane. As time progressed I kept looking up to see if it was still there and it was. Suddenly the orb started to move erratically in the sky and the light had gotten brighter and brighter the faster it moved.
All of the sudden it shot forward in tremendous speed behind a cloud and all I could see after that was a large explosion of blue light. I have not seen the Space Craft since or had the feeling of being watched. The orb sat there hovering in the sky around 1 hour before darting off in 30 seconds or less.
