All Reported UFO Sightings in Terre Haute, Indiana

Full Report Text:

My dog was outside, then stopped in the yard. Looked around, then a flash of light that was a lighter blue above him. My dog was walking through the yard.

Then stopped and looked around. Not a usual thing he would do. After a couple of seconds of looking around, he looked up when a beam of a lighter blue light struck him.

The light was visible for a second or two. Then he ran inside once the light flashed on him. I did not hear a noise or anything from the sky.

Once my dog came back in, I tried to get him to go back out but he wouldn’t go into the yard.

I saw a roundish, kind of out of focus white sphere, that eventually disappeared before my eyes. I had dropped a friend at the Indianapolis airport and was driving back to my home in Watson, IL. I was traveling west on Interstate 70 and was approaching Terre Haute, Indiana.

I suddenly noticed a white, roundish object in the sky ahead. It was almost like it was out of focus because it didn't seem clear. I was wearing sunglasses, so I quickly took them off because I thought I would be able to see it better.

It actually made it less clear though. My sunglasses were polarized so for whatever reason, the polarization of the glasses made it clearer. I put them back on and watched the object for maybe 30 seconds or so as I drove.

It wasn't clear to me though, almost like it was hazy or out of focus or something. As I was watching it, it suddenly blinked out of existence!! I put the time I saw it at 6pm, but it could've been anywhere between 5-7pm. I can't remember exactly when I dropped my friend at the airport, but it was definitely in the evening before it got dark or even before the sun was noticeably going down.

Unidentified Non-Drone Object It was a clear non windy evening at near dusk last Saturday. As I was traveling about a half mile of where I live in the country in the southwestern part of Vigo county outside of Terre Haute IN, I saw what I first thought was a peculiar looking drone flying over the big farm field near the corner of Curry and Sullivan moving West. The colors and size as it approached me was too different to what I have ever seen so I quickly pulled over my car and opened my car door for a cellphone picture.

I then realized it was aware of me as it quickly changed direction moving back East. It had a circular rotation of the center four lights that turned independent to it's flight path. I couldn't hear any sound as it slowed down from maybe at most 30 mph to almost stationary observing me taking pictures.

All were blurry except for the one I will send you. The photo has the same two colors of bright neon like Pink and lite Blue. The two rectangular Pink in the front were po! sitioned lengthwise and the other 2 behind them were lite Blue and also lengthwise but smaller.

For some reason the photo merges the other lights in the center but you can still see the same colors and circular shape. I had to leave because there was a car coming from the intersection nearby as I was outside of my car, so I left. I did some searching on available drones for sale and nothing that I can find remotely looks like that.

Also it's hard to judge distance but I would say it was about a 100 feet high at it's closest to me and would have been bigger than any drone, about 10 feet wide at most. So I definitely think it's some other type of unidentified intelligence for sure!.

Four points of light appeared one after the other, one with a quickly-disappearing light trail, half an hour before nightfall. I am a 22-year-old white female college student studying English and Creative Writing. (Hopefully any talent I have in the field will aid in this description.

) I wouldn’t exactly call myself a conspiracy theorist, but I am openly receptive to the idea that there are things among us that we don’t understand. I don’t know if this is pertinent, but I have a background of depression and anxiety, though I was experiencing neither during this event. (Up until I saw the UFO.

Then, I will admit, I was very anxious.) At approximately 19:30 on October 9, 2020, I was sitting alone in my car in a McDonald’s drive-thru on the north side of Terre Haute, Indiana. The sun was setting, but it was still bright out; the sky was a pastel pink.

As I waited for the cars ahead of me to move on, I noticed what looked to be two stars hovering in the west—the direction that I was facing. They were bright white pinpricks of light contrasted against the sky. It’s hard to say the shape, simply because they seemed so far away.

Upon closer inspection, I could see that at least one of them had a short trail, and in an attempt to reconcile the strange object, I told myself it must be a couple of planes, despite the fact that planes do not emit light in that way. (The trail was odd looking, too. Not smoke, but it appeared to be made of light.

) The drive-thru line was not long, but long enough for me to stare for a minute or two. Long enough to have noticed any movement, or a direction in which the “planes” were heading, if there was any. But they simply hovered, completely still.

The trail that had been left by the one had dissipated in a matter of moments. I pulled out my cell phone and attempted to take pictures, but the points of light were too small for my camera to pick up. At this point, I suspected that it might be a UFO, but had other explanations to put myself at ease, as well.

I knew that Mars and Venus were supposed to be bright this month—perhaps that was all I was seeing. However, as I was focused on the original two points of light, two more appeared. I first noticed the third, and then as my gaze shifted, a fourth.

All close together, and all unwaveringly still. I distractedly pulled forward to the pickup window, and accepted my bag of food before pulling out of the parking lot and heading home. I took Fort Harrison Rd west toward 13th St and continued to anxiously watch the points of light (what I even now struggle to call UFOs) as I drove.

So intent on watching them in fact, needing to track any movement and at this point terrified of what it might mean, I was not as focused on the road as I should have been. I made it back to my home in one piece, but only after I told myself to look away and pay attention to what I was doing. I wanted to look around at the other drivers on the road, to see if they were reacting the same way, if they even noticed, but my mind was scattered, and I was far too anxious to do anything but race home.

The moment I arrived back at my house, I headed to the back yard to get a clearer view of the sky, but there were too many trees blocking my view, so I went back in. Sat down. Feverishly Googled what it could be, and found with a blossoming dread that it couldn’t be Mars and Venus.

Not only are those planets located in different quadrants of the sky, but are visible only at different times of the day. Perhaps one of the lights I saw was Mars, but that doesn’t explain the other three. Later that night, I did further research, and was momentarily relieved to find there would be a meteor shower that same night, but the details about the meteor shower didn’t line up with what I saw.

According to a local news site, the Draconid meteor shower is small, and one should only expect to “see a few meteors streak across the sky in an hour.” And though the Draconid meteors move slower than those in other showers, they only last “one or two seconds,” which does not account for the several minutes that these UFOs were in my line of sight. And these could not be stars.

Even neglecting the fact that one of them had a trail, nowhere within city limits could you see stars shining that brightly, especially before nightfall. Truly, I would like for there to be some other explanation. But the more I go over the memory of what I saw, the more I’m convinced that the only logical explanation is UFOs.

I relayed this experience to a trusted friend who used to live in Arizona, a well-known hub for UFO activity, and she told me that my description matches that of her own experiences. I did a few different Google searches to see if anyone had reported anything similar, but I came up empty-handed. So I decided I had to do it myself, even though thinking about it fills me with that same dread as before.

I don’t think I’ll be getting any sleep tonight.

My Mother and I just saw an unidentified non conventional white strobing light moving slowly counter clockwise. The number of pulsing went from a solid light to starting to a few slow pulsations to progressing to more and faster rhythm of strobing flickering to about 20 per second. It was apparently watching the same fireworks to our north, then it moved Eastward low on the horizon.

I was looking for an airplane type of red and green light but it was definitely not conventional, unless it was a drone pretending to be an UFO. Distance is hard to tell but I live about 5 miles South of the city, so even with the distraction of fireworks, it still should have been seen by many people. Thanks for filling this report.

It was certainly very strange and peculiar.

Large triangle craft easily as big as an aircraft carrier. United State Navy QM. I saw a cloaked flying triangle over my city gliding along making no sound.

It was massive in size!! Close to an aircraft carrier. It had rounded edges at the top and bottom the middle section was recessed in. It was coming from the south and head north then it made a course change to NE.

I believe it was a lot bigger that a Carrie. I was having time grasping the sure size of it and believing what I was seeing. I was looking at the Pleiades constellation when it caught my eye.

It was cloaked but had like a slight shimmer. It was like it was projecting the stars on its hull. The best I can say it made me think of the cloaking you see in a predator movie.

The dogs in the neighborhood were going completely nuts. I believe the shimmer I was seeing was the moonlight some how reflecting. Also why this was going on clouds started moving in almost like they were part of it.

Trying to keep it hidden. I have seen a lot in the sky but this one by far was the craziest.

I was downtown Terre Haute at 10:30 in the morning on top of the Candlewood Suites hotel building and I seen a Tic-Tac shaped UFO and I took 6 pictures of it . It was traveling from the East to the West in a straight line moving very fast.

Full Report Text:

Triangular/diamond shaped craft with orange lights hovered above street lights for several minutes over traffic. My grandmother and I were on our way home from my doctor's appointment, we started driving down exit 7 off of 70 when we could see a large object hovering above the street lights. I asked her "Is that a helicopter? What is that?" And she said "It's probably a helicopter.

" As we got closer we could definitely tell it was not a helicopter. It was black, a triangle shape but also kind of diamond shaped, like it had a belly/rounded bottom and top (sorry it's hard to explain the shape it was so unusual), with orange lights around the edges. My mind kept repeatedly telling me it was just a helicopter even though I knew it wasn't, and I just kinda froze in place as I stared at it.

My grandma kept saying "get your camera, take a picture!" And I just couldn't move I was so shocked at what I was seeing. We drove through the intersection with the other cars, and made our way back home. Then we just kind of forgot about it up until recently.

There's no way the other cars didn't see it. I said there were only 2 witnesses, my grandma and I, but there were at least 4-5 other cars with us, and idk how many more before us/after us that had to of seen it.

Four unidentified moving flashing lights that hovered in place for several minutes. Terre Haute, Indiana At first, I thought there were two planes, flying too close to each other, so I watched them. There was no sound from the objects.

The objects were flashing white lights and at first moving quickly to the south of me in a westward direction. Then the two flashing lights came to a stop and hovered in place. I scanned the sky and noticed two more flashing lights that were hovering in place nearby, to the East of the other two flashing lights.

As I watched, the first two flashing lights that I saw suddenly went dark. The other two flashing lights to the East, continued to hover in place for two - three more minutes and then went dark also.

Three white lights were hovering in the Terre Haute area. The date of occurrences are between April 19-24. I saw these objects while visiting my family in Terre Haute, IN.

I’m a smoker and a night owl and had to go outside to smoke. As I watched the night sky, usually from 11pm to 3am, I would notice one object that frequented the northeastern sky. Another appeared on occasion southwest of it.

A third appeared in between the two on only two nights. One night, I saw two flying across the sky as if together; however, one was at a higher altitude than the other. At the time, I wondered why two planes would have been allowed to fly so closely together.

Turns out, they were not planes. The objects were very high in the sky and appeared to be bright stars. All three had a steady white light.

I also saw the haphazard flashing of a green light, and sometimes a red one pulsating from each. The objects were so high in the sky that I couldn’t make out a definite shape; however, the pulsating colored lights may have been underneath the objects as if suspended from helicopter skids. It is possible that the objects were triangular but that is only speculation.

The northeastern-most seemed to be the most active with its flight path. All three objects seemed to hover most of the time but sometimes would move ahead, execute a tight circle, then move forward again. They all stayed in their designated areas.

Their actions were similar to a remote control toy being repeatedly moved then stopped. Sometimes, when executing a circle, a turn, a sideways maneuver or acceleration, bursts of firefly-looking exhaust emitted from them. I believe that Terre Haute is in the flight path of some planes leaving Indianapolis International Airport.

On more than one occasion, I was able to compare the planes’ pulsating lights and chemtrails of jets to the UFO’s. The jets were probably close to their highest altitude but were not nearly as high as the UFO’s. I also compared the objects to the stars.

The objects were at a much lower altitude than the stars but much too high to be planes or helicopters. The only background was the night sky. The objects were only visible at night.

They were not visible when overcast. They did not emit any sound.

2 groups of lights, one behind and below, moving southeast about 500 feet high. My brother, sister-in-law, and I were standing near 1st avenue and 13th streets around 9 pm when we noticed 2 groups of lights moving southeast and no sound. They appeared to be less than a mile away about 500 feet high, and the "lead" grouping was several red, and a couple of white lights.

The all white group of lights that were about 50 feet behind and below, were moving at the same speed and direction. Couldn't see if it was a large craft or two, but it sure freaked us out. The darkness prevcented us from seeing any shape.

While watching TV, both of us noticed something airborne came over the house with lights bright enough to grab our attention on a very brightly lit (full moon) night. Main light was bright but soft/warm with a deep amber/orange light that was infront of or part of the main light. Shapes were not clearly visible but there was something other than the light that the light was attached to/part of that traveled in a West/ Northwesterly line.

First impression was a plane too low and going to crash but there was no sound. Went quickly to window and saw only a lone helicopter in the eastern sky at a much higher altitude flying in a line that was slowly curving around our general vicinity.

bright red light moving over Terre Haute ,Indiana At about 10:30 pm I went out with one of my dogs on our front porch. Looking to the North (across the street)I saw a bright red, constant, light. The light was just above the house across the street and appeared to be getting closer.

It appeared to be heading pretty much South with a few degrees to the east. This was not an airplane or helicopter! I quickly went in and got my wife to witness this. She also saw this bright light.

Just before it was directly overhead it faded and took about one full minute to fade out of sight. It almost appeared to fade due to the light source possibly being at an increasing angle to us, much like a passing cars headlights. I have seen an orange light during the daytime a few months ago and told my wife about it.

Overpowering, frightening, and extremely loud sounds coming from above. My boyfriend and I went into our screened in porch to smoke a cigarette together, while smoking, we heard a strange noise in the distance, shrugged it off and decided “Oh it’s just wind or traffic noise”, though there were no cars and it was very calm and still weather. We finished our cigarettes and went back into the house, only to hear the noise growing louder and louder.

We went back into the porch, and even our cats seemed to be upset over the noise. The sound was very loud and overpowering, it sounded similar to a strong violent windstorm with the following sounds coming from inside it: large vacuum cleaner, heavy rotating machinery, electrical humming or buzzing. The sound was all around us but coming from above, our first instinct was to look towards the sky, but the sky was clear.

Then we tried to make sense of it, the loudness of it should have caused vibrations in the ground but there were none, we felt like we should take cover from the wind but it was calm and still. It lasted for about an hour and a half, give or take, and then suddenly came to an immediate stop. During the time the sound was active, the sound would fade in and out.

We were surprised once it ended that our neighbors were not woken by the noise and outside wondering the same things we were. This was not the first time this has happened, we experienced the same exact thing a few months ago. The first experience was not as loud and disruptive as the second.

The day after the first experience, I logged into my Facebook to check my Facebook feed and catch up with friends, when I noticed a post that my cousin in Ohio had made. She had complained about a “loud giant vacuum like noise” that had kept her up most of the night. Her post was made about an hour or so after we heard the noise at our house.

Maybe a coincidence, but I personally have become a UFO believer since the recent experiences I’ve had. During the second experience, my boyfriend had captured video of the sound, and video of what it sounded like after the sound had stopped.

Nearly invisible object flying in the sky. I was standing outside looking up into the sky when I noticed a very faint object. At first I thought it was just a flock of birds but noticed it was much higher and there was no sound.

It was heading south and was barely noticeable. There were no lights and no sound. It looked like 7 objects flying in a perfect "v" formation because the objects were faint enought to see but nothing else was visible.

Bright light in sky in Terre Haute, IN just west of Hulman airport at approximately 2:15 a.m. 7/14/2012 My wife and I were heading east on U.

S. 40 (Wabash Ave.) at approximately 2:15 a.

m. in the morning and turned south (right turn) onto U.S.

46 (actually east for the road, but officially heading south). As soon we turned the corner, there was a very bright light, appeared to be just over the tree line in an area that is over a field and just west of Hulman Airport. We were both asking one another the question, "What in the heck is that?" It stayed perfectly still like it was sitting on a light post and then about the time we get to the intersection of U.

S. 46 and U.S.

42 it takes off south. In my mind, I thought it was like a firework, it took off quickly, but was way too big for that. Also my recollection was that after about 500 feet, I thought it went down, and I was actually waiting for something to explode, it did not.

My wife said she saw it go several miles away turning into a small dot almost instantly. We were both in awe at this point and kept driving toward where it was and when we got to that point, there was still a trail of smoke that was about the 500 feet (guessing), then it disappeared. It was a very clear night.

We saw three cigar shaped objects fly over Indiana University. We saw three cigar shaped objects fly over Indiana University. It is possible that the object abducted someone (Jake Kelley).

Lighter were flashing on the object and it left a trail. There was a haze around the object and it emitted other smallest objects and light beams along its flight path. The objects changes colors and then landed, making weird electric sounds as it went.

There were four military blimps chasing after the UFO, but because they were blimps they never caught up. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to provide no contact information. PD)).
