For the last 3 weeks, I have seen an object over the Vincennes area… It isn't there every night, but most nights.usually white in color, but sometimes red or orange… I have asked others at work if they have seen it and several have been seeing it as well.

Red and white lights in passing, unlit and rapid tracing of an object returning. I was standing out back as usual just taking a break from care planning to get some fresh air and love star gazing when I noticed a red and white light that I thought was simply the abrupt, flashing of a passing airplane. However, something about the pattern seemed more controlled, deliberate, and smooth.

It moved even slower across the night sky than what you would see normally with an airplane. There wasn’t any real consistency about the way it moved though. It wasn’t moving in a straight line.

I continued to observe it go by until I could no longer see it past my house’s roof top. This lasted for about 9 or so minutes. It was just a few minutes later that an unlit object moved rapidly back from exactly the direction I had just seen the lit object disappear to go right back to where I first noticed the prior object before vanishing.

I don’t know if it was the same object or a different one, but I saw two totally separate events happen just moments apart. I know this needed to be shared. I sought out somewhere to do so, and as much thought as I’ve put into trying to make sense of something so seemingly simple, I know what I saw wasn’t of this world.

Saw flashing lights heading very fast and low over fields and paralell to highway 41 south. On the way home from Evansville my girlfriend was driving, I was in the passenger seat. Her friend was asleep in the back seat.

We were just about to get into Vincennes, when we both saw an odd blue light up ahead on the road. We both assumed it was a cop car. I thought it was a light on top of the regal construction building till the light kept moving in flashes toward us till it was eventually over the field, parallel to the right side of the highway.

As the light moved past us with each blink it picked up a considerable amount of speed exceeding any aircraft I have seen and I recently saw the blue angels perform in Evansville. The lights appeared to be approxamtely 100 feet from ground level and did not appear to be attached to anything, though it was very dark in the area and again, the light kept blinking and was very hard to focus on as each blink only lasted maybe a tenth of a second. We watched the light pass us and go over the fields heading south toward Princeton/Evansville.

We had not been drinking or consuming any drugs. I thought I may be seeing things till my girlfriend confirmed she saw the exact same object.

The colored light was gone in a blink of an eye. The three of us were standing on our balcony smoking a cigarette, we were watching the sky and we saw a sphere of different colored lights hovering at about power line level and about a 1000 yards off. We continued to watch as it rose higher and shot off from the Northeast to the Southwest.

It seemed to be gone in the blink of an eye.

I witnessed a short-duration, triangle-shaped UFO in Vincennes, IN on Tuesday 01/04/11 at 2:50 a.m. After working nightshift, at approximately 2:50 a.

m., on Tuesday, the 4th of January, 2011 I and my riding partner had just returned home, in Vincennes, Indiana, and were walking to the front door of the apartment house where we both live. I was walking slower than him, as I was smoking, and looking up at the stars.

I was looking in a SW direction, at a bright star, or pehaps it is Venus or Mercury; I do not know, but I turned and looked to the East, at the Big Dipper, and then turned back to look again at the bright star/planet, when to the SSW, at approximately a 30 degree angle, I saw 6 evenly spaced white lights, at angles, approaching in a ENE direction, and then make a sudden banking turn left, or counterclockwise, much like a kite might turn, back towards the SW. I got a full view of the bottom of the object, which was triangle-shaped, without the points, dark with single white lights on either side of the three blunt ends, and a circle of approximately ten to twelve lesser white lights about half way towards the middle. The turn was impossibly tight, silent and very fluid; Too tight to be any kind of aircraft I have ever seen, and I have seen many, having spent ten years as a flying crewchief in the U.

S. Air Force, as well as growing up within a mile of a busy airport. I was able to see the object quite vividly, as it was silouetted in front of a thin white cloud cover, almost like a light fog, moving in from the South, and it actually moved into the clouds, immediately after turning.

I ran to the front door of the apartment house, still trying to watch the object, and called my friend to come back and see it, when someone turned on a fairly powerful spotlight on the ground, approximately SSW of my position, and shined it straight up at the object. The object and spotlight positions could not have been more than a half-mile from where I was standing. By the time my friend got back outside, the object had moved into the clouds sufficiently that it was no longer visible, and the spotlight was turned off, so that my friend saw nothing, unfortunately.

We scanned the entire sky, hoping to see the object, or anything else that might be in the area, but saw nothing else. I would like to note that in the month I have been living at my present address, I have not seen any low-flying aircraft, and concluded that there is no airport of any type near this town, but this may not be an accurate accessment. I made a crude drawing of the event, and will attempt to scan it into my laptop, and include it with this written statement.

Low flying silent object with pulsating lights, possibly landing at airport I was outside looking at Jupiter through our telescope and decided i would go inside to get a drink of water and then come back out, but i as i was walking back to the house i glanced to the west and saw a low flying white blinking light, so i walked fast over to the west side of our yard to get a better look. The object was probably about two or three miles to the west, and less than a thousand feet above the ground, and moving at around 80 or 100 mph. There was a white light that was blinking fast, and a red light on the rear that appeared to be moving back and forth, I could not hear any sound at all.

I did not observe this through the telescope because of how fast it was moving, and i should also mention the telescope is very heavy, so it is difficult to move it around. The object was moving northbound, and as it got about five or six miles to the northwest, it started to decend, and it eventually disappeared behind some trees, possibly landing at the Lawrenceville-Vincennes airport in Illinois, and if so, was probably just an airplane, but the object made no sound at all, so i am not quite for sure what it was.

3 Light Blue/Gray Orbs in triangle formation flying at low altitude over Vincennes, Indiana I live in Vincennes, Indiana, a small town in Southwest Indiana with a population of 25,000+/- people. On the early morning of 10/11/2009 at about 12:35am I was let my dogs outside to do their thing and stood outside of my house right outside of my front door. It was a cold, dry and clear night and the stars were more visible than I have seen from here, so I gazed up at them.

After about 10 – 15 seconds I happened to look straight up above me when it came into view. What I saw were 3 light blue, gray balls of light. Not bright lights, more soft.

It was 300 – 500 feet in the air, and flying in a triangular formation at a very slow, but still “cruising” speed. It was completely silent and headed Southeast. About 2 seconds past and the made a spin move around eachother one time, then went exactly back into the triangle formation.

Then the light blue/gray orbs turned into just light gray and immediately, but very slowly, faded out. I could no longer see the orbs. I let my dogs in and I then had a very strange/ eerie feeling as if someone were watching me, or having a sense of someone in the room.

Like the feeling you get when you turn on your TV with the sound off. I was pretty startled and jumped back inside and slammed the door shut and locked it while my arm shook furiously (I was that freaked out). When I sat down to immediately start researching what I had just saw, I still had the strong sense of a presense behind me to the point I feared even turning around.

I am glad I have seen one of these ufos, and after much research I have discovered a nearby “ufo hot spot” where people have reported seeing triangular ufos about 12 miles from where I live in a town called Lucky Point. I have also discovered reports of the same ufos 1 week ago 3 hours west of here. For a glimpse of what I saw, please google “STS 115 objects” to see the live NASA TV video of the same triangular orbs.

Also google “St. Petersburg Russia triangle ufo” to see a cell phone video of the same orbs and many other people witnessed. Both occurred within the last 2 weeks before my sighting.

Night sighting of shape changing object sighted over Vinncennes IN, by experienced balloon pilot. At 10:45 on Wednesday, September 14th 2005, my friend Silas and I had finished running on the track at Vinncennes University in Knox County, Indiana. Before I go farther, I should mention that I have a private pilot's liscense for hot air balloons.

Thus I have a very good idea of distances and sizes as they relate to airborne objects. I am familiar with the airspace around the University. We were laying on the pole vault mat, looking upward, facing the westward sky, and at approximately 10:45 pm (22:45) a large, cigar shaped object descended from the cloud cover.

The broad side of the object was parallel to the ground, and what could be considered the nose was at approximately 80 degrees to the direction of travel. Flying no more than 1000 feet agl directly over us, I could tell because the ceiling that night was 2500 ft, and flew directly over us. We were perfectly aligned to see it, as it flew between the moon, (~3 days before a full moon) and our position.

As it flew over us, I estimated it to be about 300 ft. long. There was a faint purple aura around the margins, and it appeared to spin clockwise at moderate speed.

It appeared to be constructed from some sort of metal, and gave the impression of a brownish color. Moving to the east at roughly 75 mph, soundlessly, it passed over us and came to a complete stop. At that point, it changed shape into what looked to be a boomerang.

At this point, it moved to the north, back to the west, hovered, would move to the south, then southwest, stop , hover and move again. It appeared to be doing some sort of manoeuver. Finally, it changed shape one more time and became a cube-like structure, it began moving to the east again very rapidly.

I was extremely disturbed by this image. It then disappeared behind a building, and we pursued it on foot, but when we moved behind the building it had completely disappeared. Vincennes University and surrounding is a MOA, and there are scheduled dogfights with F-16 fighters regularly.

I know what these occurences look like. This was not one of them. I notified the FAA, and was informed that the MOA just hours before was scheduled to be shutdown for dogfighting for the night.

At the last second, the dogfights were cancelled and the F-16s were grounded. Not more than 1-2 hours after the figure had disappeared, the MOA was active again with airborne F-16s engaging in dogfights. Other people were present during the sighting, at least 200 yds away, but had no concrete view of the craft because the angle between the moon and the craft was wrong.

8 large bright pale orange lights were seen above treeline on and off for about 10 minutes. On Wednesday Feb. 18,2004; My Wife and My Brother were sitting out in our hottub on the back deck of our house.

The night was a very clear one. Many Many stars were out to look at. We live on the outskirts of our town, so lights from the town are at a minimum.

My Brother was the first to see the bright object. He said that out to the west above a tree line he seen a 3 bright pale orange light appear. They were about a quarter of the size of a full moon, but not nearly as bright.

They appeared for 2 seconds at a 45 degree angle going from bottom left to top right. Then it just blinked out. By that time he all ready told me and my wife.

We started looking in the general location and in about 2 minutes 3 more bright pale orange lights appeared. Not all at once but like 1 then 2 then three. They were also at a 45 degree angle going from bottom left to top right.

They were the same size as the first one and in the same location. There was about the same size again between the lights. This lasted for about 10 seconds then those turned off all at once.

About another 2 minutes later another bright pale orange light appeared in the same location and being about the same size. This one stayed for about 2-3 seconds and then split into 2 bright pale orange lights. It reminded me of Ronald McDonald doing his letter M with his hands.

But of course in a smaller area together. It even left a sparkling trail when it did its split. This lasted for 2-3 seconds and then they both turned off.

We waited for another 1/2 hour but there was nothing else in terms of lights. But there was of course about 3 or 4 Fighter Jets that were circling the same area of the lights just about a minute or two right after the last sighting. This also happened last week on Thursday and at the same time and location.

Same size bright pale orange light that just appeared and stayed for about 3 seconds then turned off. They did not look like anything that we have seen before. They did not look like fireworks or Flares.

These lights were in one position. They did not float downward like fireworks or flares. We are very curious to know what we seen.

Full Report Text:

"like a garbage can lid with a piece of watermelon on top", hovering over the road. The incident involved a man and his wife and seven-year-old daughter. It occurred east of Vincennes, in a subdivision area.

The primary witness (who we will refer to as "Mr. W", a good friend and neighbor of my brother Steven), was in the process of packing for a trip. He was interrupted by his daughter who claimed she saw a strange object in the sky.

Mr. "W" and his wife went outside and saw the object, as well. He re-entered the house to get his 7x50 binoculars, and when he emerged, the object was now much closer.

He described it as a metallic, disc-shaped craft, and "like a garbage can lid with a piece of watermelon on top", hovering over Wheatland Road. The estimated size was 30' in diameter. The witnesses also stated emphatically that someone else MUST have seen it, also.

"They had to, it was so low." At the end of the 90 second period of observation the object finally dived and arced out of sight behind a tree line. Estimated range: 1-4 miles.
