Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode, we're talking about the 1973 Indiana UFO wave.
That's correct, the 1973 Indiana UFO wave.
This is made-up of a bunch of different sightings across the
state. A lot of stuff was happening in
1973 with the UFO phenomena. Now, specifically in October of
1973, it was a crisp bottom evening.
Residents across the Hoosier State were shaken by a series of
unexplained sightings that continue to stir debate among
UFO enthusiasts and skeptics today.
Now, for those who witnessed the extraordinary event, the
experience was nothing short of otherworldly.
In fact, the mass show of fuss sightings in Indiana were part
of a nationwide wave of unexplained aerial phenomena
that had happened during the fall of 1973.
It was in the small towns in the rural landscapes of Indiana
where these sightings left a really deep impression.
Like for many, it was the night they encountered something far
beyond anything that we could possibly understand today.
Now the first sighting was reported just after sunset when
a bright, pulsating light appeared in the sky near Kokomo.
Witnesses described a craft that wasn't like anything they'd ever
seen. It was a large, luminous object.
It was hovering silently above the treetops.
It moved slowly at first. It emitted beams of light that
darted across the horizon, and then it just shot off at an
incredible speed. Soon some reports began flooding
in from various towns across Indiana, Lebanon, Crawfordsville
and Logansport, describing the identical eerie lights that were
first sighted. Now the local authorities, they
were completely overwhelmed with all the calls and this just went
on for hours. The night became a stage for
this really wild UFO spectacle. Remember 1973?
No cell phones, no Internet. When people saw something like
this, a lot of times their first reaction was to call the police
station. You can imagine that their phone
was ringing off the hook. Now, a lot of witnesses were
just ordinary citizens. Farmers, cops and families had
gathered on porches and people with no history of unusual
claims or anything like that, or any kind of interest in the
paranormal. A particular account came from
Bill McCoy. Now he was a local police
officer, and then, while on patrol, he observed a glowing
orb hovering silently above a field.
Said it wasn't an airplane and it wasn't a helicopter.
It didn't make a sound. It just hung there like it was
watching us. McCoy said similar testimony
came from families who stepped outside to catch a glimpse of
the strange lights. Marianne Davis, a mother of
three from Lebanon, recalled how her children were transfixed by
the sight of the object. It felt like we were being
visited by something, she said. Something not from here.
The events in Indiana were part of a larger series of sightings
that took place across the US during what later became known
as the 1973 UFO wave. Now reports of unidentified
flying objects were coming in from pretty much every corner of
the country with Indiana being one of the most heavily impacted
areas. And during this time the US Air
Forces project Blue Book of course, which had investigated
UFO phenomena since 1952. It had already been shut down.
So witnesses they decided to turn to civilian research
organizations probably turned out to be a lot better thing to
have going on now the Ohio based group called Ground Saucer Watch
quickly began collecting testimonies from Indiana
residents and the story he made national headlights.
Now just imagine if Blue Book would have been around, they
would have probably just classified all those reports as
top secret and you wouldn't have been able to see them for years
and years if ever. Now, believers in the UFO
phenomenon, a lot of people think that the sheer volume from
the sightings during that fall of 1973 and especially in
Indiana, just making it impossible to dismiss these
things is all, you know, weather events or swamp gas or, or
whatever other excuse they could come up with.
I mean, when you stop and think about the fact that these lights
display behavior that's not consistent with any known
technology, especially in 1973, I mean, the abrupt changes in
speed, the instantaneous stops and this hovering that nobody
could explain. Now, of course, the debunkers
and the skeptics, they just keep bringing up the same old tired
excuses. Honestly, I don't have time for
them now. The thing about this whole 1973
wave, it did leave a lasting impact because it was just so in
your face that people had, no, they had no way of denying it.
They just had to say, yeah, something's going on here.
We can't explain it. We don't know if these are
actual ships or what they are, but they're definitely going on
here in our community. There were some really cool
cases. We'll take a look at some of the
individual ones here. Like in Muncie, IN on October
9th, 1973, the residents of that town, they just started off
their evening just like any other night.
You know, we were talking 1973. You probably had a television.
If you were lucky, you may have had a caller TV.
A lot of them are still black and white.
Probably had ABC, NBC and CBS to choose from and maybe a public
station. I think cable might have been
starting to make some inroads, but a lot of people didn't have
cable back then. They had an antenna or rabbit
ears. And if it came in, it came in.
So a lot of times we're sitting out on the porch looking up at
the sky, just enjoying the weather, doing things people
don't really do anymore. So the story kind of begins
after dark. Multiple people reported seeing
an unusually bright object in the sky that was slowly
approaching from the northwest. It wasn't like a plane or a
weather balloon. This craft moved silently
without any of the familiar sounds of modern aircraft and it
slight glowed with intensity that couldn't be mistaken for
Star Wars or terrestrial lights. 1973 it wasn't a drone.
Now John Fuller was a factory worker and a long time resident
of Muncie was one of the first to report the sighting.
He said it was this glowing, saucer shaped thing moving in
ways no plane or helicopter can. It would stop dead in the air.
They'd shoot off at angles that don't make sense.
Fuller wasn't alone. Within minutes, several other
witnesses in Muncie saw the same object in the sky.
And perhaps the most chilling account of the night came from a
group of local teenagers, though they were out near the Ball
State University campus when the object passed overhead.
Now, Mary Jenkins, who was just 17 at the time, describes seeing
the craft up close. We were just hanging out when
suddenly there it was, huge and silent, floating right above us.
We were scared, but we couldn't stop staring.
It had this bright, pulsing light in the center and what
looked like metallic edges. It didn't make sense.
Nothing that big should be able to move that smoothly. 17 years
old, she can recognize that Jenkins and her friends watched
in awe as the object hovered over them for several minutes
before darting off at an impossible speed, vanishing into
the night sky. Another witness, Muncie resident
Bill Daniels, was driving home when he saw the object streak
across the sky. At first I thought it was a
shooting star, but then it slowed down and started moving
like nothing I'd ever seen. It was like it was scanning the
area, just moving back and forth over the town.
Wow, that's really something. Now, Muncie's encounter was not
an isolated incident, believe me.
That year, UFO sightings were being reported across the United
States from coast to coast. It was part of what became known
as, like we said, the 1973 UFO wave.
The thing is, some of the sightings, I think the best ones
are out of Indiana. But even then you've got the
government covering everything up and is with most UFO
sightings. The October 9th, 1973 incident
Muncie, in Muncie sparked various theories.
Of course. Believers were quick to point
out that the crafts movement, its silent operation, and its
high speed maneuvers were far beyond the capabilities of any
known human made technology of the time.
Just common sense tells you this can't be anything of ours now.
The Air Force, which had recently shut down Project Blue
Book, offered no explanation for the Muncie sighting.
Local authorities took the reports seriously but couldn't
provide any conclusive answers, leading many of you believe that
the government knew more than it was willing to admit.
As usual, they're not sharing that with us.
Just like we find out about these recent hearings that I
guess aren't going to happen right now For the people of
Muncie, the events of that night haven't been forgotten.
The sighting still one of the most compelling pieces of
evidence in the case. Extraterrestrial visitors,
particularly for residents who saw the objects up close.
And believe me, when you see these things up close, it does
leave a big impact on you. Now, some skeptics have
attempted to offer their own explanations, which to me is
nothing more than debunking. But the fact is, the people that
saw these things know what they saw.
They didn't see swamp gas. They didn't see weather events.
They didn't see the planet Venus.
When you see one of these ships like this, like these guys saw,
it's big, it's up close, and it's in your face.
Now I want to take a look at a couple more cases here.
These things are really interesting.
Now, I found this article written by Tori Jane.
It's posted over here on msn.com.
It says numerous UFOs were sighted in Indiana decades ago
and it's among the most credible sightings in history.
The date was October 19th, 1973 and it was pretty much just
another low key autumn evening in East Central IN the sun had
gone down and 911 dispatch operators were settled in to the
night shifts, expecting nothing out of the ordinary Tonight.
Suddenly a strange call came in. Someone in Delaware County saw
something bizarre in the sky, and then one call turned into
two. 2 turned into three. Soon enough, Delaware County
found itself plunged into one of the most credible mass UFO
sightings in Indiana, as well as the entirety of the Midwest.
To back up the more than 700 calls from terrified residents,
Ball State University students and staff confirmed that there
was something visible in the skies by the telescope.
Now think about that 700 calls. They've got a really cool
picture here. It looks like a flying saucer
with one of these kind of stove fight tops on it.
It's kind of this really bright, almost translucent green collar.
And it's they're just hovering in the sky.
Really cool stuff. And it says and Fort Wayne folks
at an airfield determined there was a strange blip on radar
plain as day. Only right now, it wasn't day.
And that was a problem. Local law enforcement was
dispatched to check everything out, and they, too, had some
truly bizarre experiences that night.
Now, it was tough to see the craft, they say, or whatever
this thing was in its entirety. Witnesses described a red, white
and blue revolving light that dipped incredibly close to the
ground on several occasions. They tracked the thing in the
sky for hours, watching it light up, dim down, fly higher, fly
lower. Many of the maneuvers it made
were too fast for a known aircraft to have pulled off at
the time. Think about the accelerations,
these things you're doing. The human body just couldn't
survive the G forces. Then it says Indiana wouldn't
even be the only state to site this bizarre craft in the air.
Within minutes of the calls tapering to a stop in Indiana,
they began in Ohio. Several people on the ground
that night claimed to have had some sort of close encounters
with the thing, and they insist it was not of this earth.
Now October 1973, we're told, ended up being a wild one for
UFOs. The sighting on the 9th of
October was just the beginning. And they had another picture of
this saying this kind of had like a blue on the edge with
this super bright luminous white light in the middle surrounded
kind of this red collar. Really, really neat stuff.
It says there were so many compelling reports that 1973 was
nicknamed the UFO invasion. Talk about bizarre.
Of course, no official explanation for any of the
sightings on this night exist. Naysayers often cite, unknown to
the public at the time, aircraft as it being the most obvious
explanation for this flap. But no other UFO sightings in
Indiana or the Midwestern states come close to the sheer size of
this one. With more than 700 official
reports called in, it's incredibly difficult to simply
hand wave it all the way to some strange coincidence.
Well, you'd have to be. You can look at these pictures
and see this thing was enormous, maybe the size of a cruise ship
or something. And we're to believe that this
is hidden technology from our government.
If you've seen how governments act toward their citizens, you
should be able to understand that if they possess this kind
of technology, we would have even fewer rights than we do, it
says. If anything, 2023 has been an
utterly bonkers year for the whole UFO phenomenon, which has
been rebranded as Uaps instead, thanks to the stigma surrounding
the term UFO. Hopefully we're a little closer
now than we ever were, than we ever have been to getting a
formal explanation for the UFO invasion 1973.
And it says if you're interested, you can check back,
go to their website. That's an OK article.
Listen, they're still UFOs to me.
We have to control the verbiage on this stuff.
We just can't let these guys come in and take over the whole,
the whole conversation, say and tell us what we have to call
them because like I've said, if they control the verbiage, they
control the narrative. There's another article.
This is from thestarpress.com dated January 1st, 2018.
Keith Roysden, Dateline, Muncie, IN says with recent news reports
of a secret Pentagon investigation of flying saucers
and unidentified flying objects going back over a period of
several years, it is important to note that Muncie, all of East
Central IN, really got there first.
Muncie's dramatic 1973 brush with UFO mania was recently
cited in the magazine article. And of course, 2017 saw the 40th
anniversary of the release of Steven Spielberg's close
Encounters of the Third Kind, which was set largely in Muncie,
although it was not filmed there.
Before any of that happened, however, in October 1973, Muncie
newspapers ran daily stories about sightings of UFOs around
the country. And then the flying saucer
sightings began in earnest, right in her own backyard.
Sometimes it seems like they almost call these things.
In October 1973 began with the United Press International story
played on page 16 of the Muncie Star about UFO reports in
Tennessee, where a County Sheriff said he had personally
seen 3 UFOs. 20 people called police down there, noting they
had made similar sightings. The next day, another UPI story
appeared, this time on the front page of The Star, expanding on
Tennessee sightings. Two brothers, 13 and 9, took
refuge in a chicken coop when they were buzzed by a UFO in
Chester County, Tennessee. Two days later, according to a
story published in The Muncie Star, police found a weather
balloon that was likely responsible for the UFO
sightings north of Indianapolis. How convenient.
For several days in a row, Muncie newspaper readers saw
account after account of UFO sightings.
Elsewhere, Reports rampant in the South read in one headline.
Then on October 10th, 1973, the UFO craze came to Muncie.
Well, maybe just the UFOs came to Muncie.
The evening before, the Muncie Star reported mysterious multi
colored lights were seen by several 100 people.
About 100 people called the police.
Now we know this is not correct. We know there were 700 reports,
right? Because the college did the
study. So it kind of shows to me this
might be a little bit, might be a little sloppy reporting.
About 100 people called police. Sheriff Sergeant Richard Craner
said over the course for over the course of two hours, another
50 to 60 people called Muncie police.
Police theorized that whether balloons were to blame.
Yeah, because the police always have the answers to these
questions. Newton Sprague, director of Ball
State University Observatory, offered the balloon. 32 Then on
October 13th, local newspapers carried a UPI story about two
shipyard workers in Pascagoula, Ms. who said they were abducted
and taken aboard a UFO by silvery skinned creatures with
big eyes and pointed ears. And that's not that great of a
description. The report it encounter became
one of the most famous of the UFO era.
The floodgates were open for UFO sightings in the Muncie area.
You can kind of see where this author's going at.
It seems like he's trying to put this off as just kind of mass
hysteria. On Saturday, October 13th, 1973,
four or five Indiana National Guard helicopters were blamed
for a ration of UFO reports over Muncie and Delaware County.
The choppers prompted 40 calls to police.
Honestly, I'm finding this reporting to be quite sloppy.
He he's mixing a matching here all day long.
The next day in Dayton, OH, woman told police that an oblong
object with blinking lights killed 2 cows went landed in a
field. In the meantime, UPI reported
that hypnosis supported the stories of the two Mississippi
men who said they were abducted. Not only that, but they were
secretly recorded in the police station.
I think that supported it as well.
And we also have, we know now, years later, we have multiple
eyewitnesses that were independent.
That's all this Northwestern University researcher J Allen
Heine, upon whose case Spielberg's movie was partially
based, said there was no doubt Earth was being visited by
aliens. Yes, this is a big change in
opinion for him. On October 17th, the Muncie
Evening Press reported on a few days of months of UFO
encounters. More UFOs reported in Muncie.
Read the headline. Missus Pierce at 226 N Davis
called police at 8:54 PM. Tuesday to report that a UFO had
landed behind her home. Patrolman William Kirby, who was
at the scene, said the lady did see something because she was
terrified. A neighbor had heard clicking
sounds at about the same time. There are people out there that
are not people. One caller told police about an
incident near the town of Wheeling, north of Muncie.
I'll believe in one when it flies through my living room
window, Muncie's deputy Police Chief Jack Turner told the
Evening Press. In every day's newspaper, more
reports of UFO sightings were reported from Texas to southern
Indiana. It was UFO night for Hartford
City, the Muncie Evening Press reported.
On Friday, October 19th, Blackford County Sheriff's
Deputy Ed Townsend reported a strange looking object with arms
like extensions over a manufacturing plant.
Now that's weird. Jay County was next.
The story reported on October 20th with strange lights near
Portland. Another sighting near Dunkirk
turned out to be farming equipment, specifically a
tractor and two combines. The area was not new to UFO
sightings, however, Dunkirk Police Chief Gerald Kirby
recalled a few years earlier when a woman who was white as a
sheet reported a basketball sized unknown object. 2 State
police officers confirmed the report on October 27th.
Sports fighters are comparing UFOs to a bit of Alexandria High
School's defensive machine that fell victim to a fourth quarter
blitz by Blackford's Bruins. Yeah, we didn't get that either.
Before October closed newspapers reported Besides traditional
Halloween costumes, the current UFO reports drew some outer
space outfits for trick or treating at Muncie Mall.
UFO sightings in East Central IN and elsewhere appear to have
dramatically dropped the number by the end of October.
By November, the local craze was over.
And done with except for a bit of marketing.
Well, you can kind of see the reporting's OK.
I guess I don't get where he claims that there was 100
reports when we saw from the college that there was 700.
But you know, when you have these waves like that, that just
kind of move in, the fact is it becomes so overwhelming that
really, really what can they do about it?
This is from a little bit more recently.
I thought this was cool too. And now you've talked about that
way that happened in 1973. Well, there was another one in
2014. We'll finish up with this.
It says on the 10th anniversary of Fort Wayne UFOUS sightings
continue to mount. Written by the editorial board,
the Journal Gazette dated September 19th, 2024.
It says on Saturday I read it post to the Fort Wayne
celebrate. It marks the 10th anniversary of
reported UFO on September 16th, 2014.
Says I was living at the DuPont Lake apartments.
Posted by Reddit user One September evening at about 9 PMI
walked outside and saw a 50 foot UFO hovering above I-69.
I'd say it was 300 to 500 feet above the highway.
The poster described the UFO, now known as an Unidentified
Anomalous Phenomena, or UAP, as having flashing blue lights on
its underside that would shut off randomly.
It slowly moved in the direction of Carroll Hyatt, 10 mile per
hour, I guess silently, quote UN quote.
The Reddit poster filed the report siding with the National
UFO Reporting Center, one of two describing the same Fort Wayne
UFO event. Founded in Washington state in
1974, the center has received, recorded and tried to cooperate
document reports from individuals who witnessed
possible UFO sightings. Five additional Fort Wayne
sightings have been reported to the database since 2023.
The UFO Reporting Center has processed more than 170,000
reports 2764 from Indiana over the last 50 years.
UFO sightings recently have been getting more attention, they
say, because the federal lawmakers after former
intelligence officer David Grech told the congressional committee
in 2023 that he believes the federal government holds alien
bodies to spacecraft. Six years earlier, the New York
Times revealed the Department of Defense head from 2007 to 2012
funded a small program to investigate military reports of
UFO sightings. Footage of unexplained
encounters between Navy jets and objects traveling at high speeds
accompanied Times report. You notice they don't, they
don't go into all here about the chain of custody on those
videos. How they got from the Navy to
the New York Times to Tom Delong, that would be an
interesting story that never gets talked about by these guys.
They say. In 2020, the Senate Intelligence
Committee asked the Pentagon to track data and report findings.
That report, released in March, concluded the spike in UFO
sightings in the 1950s and 60s was caused by tests of advanced
UFO spy planes and space technology.
Officials said that there was no evidence the federal government
had encountered alien life and most sightings to UFOs were
ordinary objects from Earth. And that's what they think of
you. They think that you're a
complete idiot that will just accept this whitewashing.
So they didn't go through case by case and dissect these cases
and examine the evidence. They just spoke in broad
generalities. Nope, nothing to see here.
Move along sheep. And then it goes on here a
little bit. It says UFO sightings continue
at a rate of 50 to 100 per month according to the All Domain
Anomaly Resolution Office. 50 to 100 a month.
Really. You think so?
Well, I can find hundreds of them on New Fork.
There's so many sightings that are happening that are being
reported in places these guys aren't looking or they're just
not reported at all. That's what I think.
I've got a little time here, so I think I'll go ahead and I'll
look at four or five more sightings out of Indiana.
The big wave in 2000, you had the big wave in 1973, more
sightings in 2014, more sightings last year.
It just shows that whether it's a wave of sightings or whether
it's settings that are that we see on a daily basis, these
things are piling up year after year after year and the body of
evidence is just overwhelming. Let's take a look at this one
right here. This says it happened on August
22nd, 2024. Duration one minute observers 2.
Location Salem IN Location details S Mill Creek Rd.
Driving away from Becks Mill towards Salem IN Shaped triangle
color blackish estimated size like a more geometric stealth
bomber. Viewed from land right above our
car on a country Rd. in the middle of nowhere.
Closest distance very close angle of elevation 45° Says I'm
not good with numbers maybe 100 feet away.
However hovered for a while. I don't know how fast it speed
away. Explanation meteor possible and
it doesn't sound like it if it's a triangle.
Lights on object emitted beans. Large bright blue white lights
shine directly on top of us. I told my friend from Louisville
to check herself for Burns tonight.
My friend and I decided to drive out to Beck's Mill for a
leisurely trip. After we went out to eat, we
were leaving the mill heading back to Salem.
I had my right arm and face outside the window looking up
when this object appeared right over us, shining an intense
light down like a gigantic flashlight directly on top of
us. I'm still pretty scared as I
type this. Doesn't sound like a meteorite
to me. When the light went off I saw a
triangular black shape. Maria stopped the car and turned
on the hazard lights on a very dangerous Rd. at that time of
night, but we jumped out. I was screaming.
We were both freaked out so we got back into the car and drove
to West Hackberry St. She dropped me off at my house
and then she continued on to her place in Louisville, KY.
I put my phone down and went to the bathroom.
When I got back to my phone Maria told me over 80 people had
reported seeing something at 9:45 PM and I remember we
definitely didn't see it until 9:48 PM.
Now I've contacted 2 meteorologists and people are
saying it was absolutely a meteor.
Well she's contacting the wrong people man.
Contact UFO warning maybe it seemed like a meteor but I know
what we saw. Is it possible for a craft to
enter like a meteorite? We had an intense beam of white
blue light right on top of us, like something out of a close
Encounters, but the light was blue and white.
It was too intense and sustained.
Meteors flash across the sky. They don't hover above one spot.
I'm telling you, if they try to say it was just a meteor, then
something else was using it as cover.
We saw what we saw. I know what we experienced was
more than a meteor. Well, I'm with you.
I can tell you what I saw was not a meter.
Meters don't hover above the ground a few feet.
They don't have this super bright, luminous blue white
light shining on you. You know the difference between
a meteor and a UFO. And yeah, you might be a little
scared. You might be a little bit
nervous, but you saw what you saw.
I found this to be a pretty good sighting right here.
This dated 8/10/24 duration 10 minutes.
Observers 2 location Michigan City IN USAI.
Think it's up north around Lake Huron, maybe Lake MI location.
Details on beach looking out overlake Michigan.
OK, correct shape, light color, white, estimated size, point of
light. So hard to say.
Well, it looks almost like a planet except for that's moving
around real fast. You can see that in the video it
says angle Ovation 20 Closest distance hundreds or thousands
of miles. Very fast considering distance
from me. Lights on object.
Each craft was moving independently of the others very
far in the distance. They each appeared to be jumping
around very rapidly. My wife and I were watching the
sunset when we noticed a bright point of light above the
horizon. At first I thought it was a
planet because of the point source nature of the night and
it's kind of near the horizon I guess you could say.
Then I noticed it was moving and thought it must be a satellite.
Now this is not a satellite. Let me tell you, satellites
aren't moving that close to the horizon like that.
No way. But then I noticed although it
was moving in a line West, on average, it was jumping all over
the sky at sudden accelerations. Due to the distance from me, the
accelerations were impossibly fast for human aircraft.
We then noticed there was one other similar object flying east
in a similar fashion. I did not record that craft in
the attached video. Eventually, the craft traveling
E just blinked out and disappeared.
The object going West was still moving along when we decided to
leave the location we were reviewing from.
Yeah, just hanging there, moving around, bouncing around, doing
what UFOs do. I guess.
That's a strange 1. You can watch the video over at
New Fork. Like I said, it's Michigan City
IN there. We'll do two more of these and
we'll wrap it up. This is from 8/10/24 as well.
It says duration 4-7 minutes. Observers 1 Military
Indianapolis, IN location 3210 E 96th St.
Carmel IN shape cube. Oh I just love these color
Black, maybe the size of a small car.
Viewed from land direction from viewer.
Northwest angle of elevation 42, closest distance 1 to 2000 feet.
Estimated speed. Zero mile per hour.
Beautiful day with the Blues, blue sky and white puffy clouds.
Looked and saw black objects hovering.
Beautiful day while attending a car show, looked up and thought
I saw a bird, then ruled it to be a drone.
But the more I watched it, it was perfectly still, no wavering
or draft adjusting. I was miffed and kind of in a
trance when I watched it. It was black and had a vertical
rectangular shape, but also seemed to have an upper section
that tapered in and I could see that it had a slight metallic
soft Sheen to it that was like a very dark amber collar in that
section. I took my phone out to record
and it was dead. I then asked the guys with me
sitting with their backs to it if they could see it.
They looked and asked where I was looking and I said I I said
look northwest at about 11:00 position.
Of the two who were really looking, one didn't see it as I
was pointing to it and the other said he saw something but wasn't
sure what it was. When he started to focus in on
it, it went further up slowly into the clouds.
It was the dangest thing I'd ever seen during the day.
It had to be about 1000 miles in elevation at least and no sound,
no contrail, no nothing, just a black box hovering and oddly
enough disappeared when I was trying to point it out.
I'm former military and retired 42 year veteran of the Indiana
State Police. I know what I saw and this would
be my second experience of this nature, with my first being at
age 9 and now at 67 years old. Also, after the object descended
into the clouds, at least two jets came into the area, flying
in a northeasterly direction, each within a couple of minutes
of each other and just a few minutes before the object
descended. The Jets didn't appear to be
military, but hard to say is they were much higher and moving
fast. Very cool.
I love these cube shapes, man. Kind of hard to call that a
drone or a balloon or anything else, you know, just hanging out
there. And you know, The thing is, he
sees it clearly, gets all the details down.
The other guy doesn't see it at all.
And maybe the third person's like, Oh yeah, maybe something
there. You know, they just there does
seem to be something going on with this observer effect.
Let's take a look at one more and we'll wrap this up right
here. Now this last one that we're
looking at is from April 24th, 2024 says 2340 local times about
20 minutes of midnight duration 5 minutes observers one.
Now they do have some video with us is interesting location.
Indianapolis IN front yard of the house had a clearview of the
sky for the initial siding. Hae triangle color black.
Estimated size small to medium sized fighter jet.
That's how the size is wraps up. Viewed from land direction from
viewer northwest angle of elevation is 60°, closest
distance one to three miles. Speed of typical helicopter,
maybe a bit slower. Lights on object to craft with a
triangle light formation on the bottom and a flashing strobe
light flew past while I was outside.
There was no engine noise. I went outside around 11:40 PM
to let my dog out in the front yard of my house.
Shortly after going outside, I noticed 2 blinking lights
somewhat off in the distance moving in the sky from north to
South. As the lights got closer, I
could start to see a triangle light formation on the bottom of
the craft. There was also a blinking white
strobe light on both craft. I can make out the same triangle
light formation on both crafts. Both appeared to be identical.
I couldn't see the craft clearly enough to make out its entire
shape, just the triangle light formation and the blinking
strobe light, but there was enough light to tell that the
triangle lights were attached to or part of the craft and not
just floating lights. The two crafts were flying one
behind the other with the safe distance between them.
I would estimate the size of the crafts to be about that of a
small or medium sized fighter jet, like an F16 or F15 for
example. The crafts made absolutely no
sound. No engine noises, no visible
exhaust, no afterburner. I would say they were flying at
about the same altitude you would expect a helicopter to be
at when flying across the city. They were moving relatively
slow. After viewing the craft for
about a minute, I decided to run inside and get my phone as
quickly as possible to film. It probably took me about a
minute to get my phone and start the video.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to film them when they were close
enough to clearly make out the Triangle light formation.
I did, however, record the craft moving to fly from north to
South over the city of Indianapolis.
By the time you see them in the video, I would estimate that
they were over downtown Indianapolis or possibly near
the Indianapolis International Airport.
The craft flew in a relatively straight line while they were
close. By the time they passed over
more of the city, they seemed to be further apart than when I
first saw them. I wanted to walk down to the end
of the street to keep filming, but decided to take the dogs
inside first. By the time I came back outside,
I could no longer see either of the craft, though I stayed
outside continuing to watch the sky. 3 to 5 minutes after I
returned outside, I noticed a small white orb high in the sky.
It appeared to be much higher than the two craft I had just
seen. I watched the orb move slowly
for about 5 seconds before it suddenly vanished into thin air.
I continued going in and out for a few hours hoping to see the
craft again, but clouds rolled in and I didn't see anything
else that night. A few details about the video.
During the video there appeared to be 3 lights in the sky, but I
believe the light furthest to the right is the star.
There are also some bugs flying to the camera at the end of the
video. I did not have my camera's auto
rotate feature on, so at one point when I turned the camera
horizontally, the video appeared sideways.
Unfortunately, I didn't capture the white orb I saw it
disappeared before I could turn the camera back on.
For context, I consider myself very knowledgeable about
military aircraft and helicopters from World War 2 and
near. I read about military aviation
frequently and have attended many air shows.
That's pretty cool sighting, man Yeah, I'm watching the video
over here and stuff and it's cool.
I mean, I don't know exactly what they've got, but they've
definitely gone to the effort to capture what's happening there.
Until next time, this is UFO warning over and out.
