Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode, we're looking at the Kokomo boom.
That's correct, the Kokomo Boom. That's Kokomo IN.
Now, this doesn't appear to be the same thing as a Kokomo Hum.
We'll have to save that for a totally different episode.
But this is what I found on this.
It's pretty intriguing to me this first.
The article that we're looking at comes from an original
newspaper article, The Call Leader, dated Thursday, April
17th, 2008. It says mysterious boom heard
near Kokomo Kokomo IN Residents in Howard and Tipton counties
reported hearing a loud explosion, sending police and
firefighters scrambling. Some residents reported seeing
bright lights in the western sky just after hearing the blast
around 10:30 PM Wednesday. Police believe it's possible
that the boom and lights may have been caused by a meteor or
other atmospheric disturbance. Immediately after the boom,
there was a slight metallic smell in the air in downtown
Kokomo. Searchers found no debris in the
area about 40 miles north of Indianapolis.
Most other reports were centered on US 31 and County Road 300 N
in Tipton County. Now that's strange that you know
this sound like something that could be a meteorite blast, but
the idea that this stuff has this metallic smell to it.
Now I want to take a look at this next article.
It kind of goes into this a little bit further talking about
this Kokomo boom from April 17th, 2008.
Now this article comes to us from nationalterroralert.com
Mysterious lights loud explosion remains Mystery Kokomo IN.
And it says 15 years ago. Wow.
Kokomo emergency responders from Howard and Tipton counties were
mobilized late Wednesday after receiving many calls about a
large explosion. Dozens of residents reported
hearing, feeling or seeing some kind of explosion near Kokomo
about 10:30 PM. But about midnight, a Tipton
County Sheriff's Department dispatch official said police
and fire crews still were searching for debris for other
evidence of the blast. One resident interviewed on the
air by WTHR Channel 13, The Indianapolis Star news gathering
partner, said she felt her house shake violently and saw a
fireball. Other witness accounts varied
from a blast to bright lights to a house shaking.
Rumble official said. About 11:30 PM, the Federal
Aviation Administration reported no missing aircraft, WTHR
reported. Kokomo, home to about 46,000
people, is about 50 miles north of Indianapolis, and Howard
County police are still not sure what caused a bright light in
the sky followed by a loud explosion near the Tipton Howard
County line, according to the Star Press.
Several residents called police and news outlets saying they had
seen the lights and or experienced what felt like a
large explosion as far away as Kokomo.
Police think that it may have resulted from military flares or
even an astronomical event with the reports of sparks and things
falling from the sky. Our aviation section reported
that a meteor shower activity over the last couple of nights,
well that is 1 poorly written sentence.
We had a similar instance in Logansport yesterday with a loud
bang that I believe that they had classified as a meteor
shower. So to our best guest tonight,
Mother Nature has created this big incident, said Sergeant
Jeremy Kelly, Indiana State Police.
The problem with that is, is there's no evidence that it was
a meteor shower other than a loud bang and some lights in the
sky. We just don't know.
I think it rocked everybody's house and I'm scared for
everybody. I don't know if it was a
meteorite or if it was a plane or if it was a jet going over
from Grissom. It could have been numerous
things, said Jody Brown from Kokomo.
Initial reports brought countless police, Fire and
Rescue units to an area near the intersection of US 31 and 300 N
in Tipton County. But after finding nothing while
searching that area, the search began moving West and N back
into Howard County. Units responding included
sheriff deputies from Howard and Tipton counties, Kokomo and
Tipton City Police, Indiana State Police, Howard County
Emergency Management Agency, and fire departments from Harrison
and Taylor townships, Sharpsville and Kempton.
This sounds like it like a really like an enormous response
to what they're trying to pass off as a meteorite.
After nearly an hour of searching, however, no debris of
any sort had been found. Authorities at Grissom Air
Reserve Base in Indianapolis International Airport were
contacted, but they told police they had no aircraft missing.
Police believe it is possible that the boom and lights may
have been caused by a meteor or other atmospheric disturbance.
Immediately after the boom, there was a slight metallic
smell in the air in downtown Kokomo.
Now that's the strange part. Why would you have this metallic
smell that is very strange? What I find most puzzling about
this is that you have these call insurance for this loud boom.
People report that they're seeing fire coming out of the
sky. Sounds like you have multiple
fire departments respond to the scene.
You've got law enforcement all over the place from multiple
different communities, and then they don't find any remnants of
meteorite and nobody seems to know what's going on.
You have to wonder if they were just told to be quiet or what
happened there, because why would they all respond to this
situation without there being a single house on fire, without
there being a single crash site of an airplane?
I mean, it sounds like you had a couple 100, maybe 1000 people
respond to to this event and then they say it turns out to be
nothing. Now let's take a look at this
next article here. This last article that we're
looking at is from theufochronicles.com,
theufochronicles.com. I'll put links up to these at
the Kofi and at Locals and you can find them over there.
That way you can read this for yourself.
They're just mesmerizing. Now it looks like we've got one
or two eyewitness accounts from the Kokomo situation and then
some actual UFO sightings prior to this April 17th, 2008 Kokomo
Boom event. This one says reader submitted
report Unedited. It says I am emailing you in
response from a request from our mutual friend Mike Fortson who
lives in Arizona. I live in Indianapolis IN and
over the last two nights there has been some unexplained
activity in a town 30 mile 35 miles north of Kokomo.
IN last night, Wednesday, March 16th, 2008 at around 10:15 PMA,
large blast was heard by the citizens of that area from the
north side of Kokomo S to the town of Tipton IN a distance of
20 to 25 miles. The Emergency Management
response was extensive, involving authorities from
several organizations. I have included an Ms. Word
document with a collection of news reports from several local
papers and the three TV stations in the Indianapolis area.
The idea was as you will see, that the bright flash falling
burning debris, an extremely loud boom was from a detonating
meteor as a result of a meteor shower.
Well, that's interesting that that's what they're calling this
thing. But apparently when people are
calling this thing into the to the 911 and and law enforcement,
they thought it was an airplane crash.
That's what it looked like to them.
Maybe a UFO crash, Who knows. And it's also interesting to
hear that the actual boom happened on March 16th, not
April 17th. But it seems like the paper must
have got a hold of this a month later.
It's almost like this story. Maybe it was tamped down a
little bit when it first came out.
The fact that discounts that assumption is that the same
event happened the night before on Tuesday, March 15th over at
Logansport IN at around 10:10 PMA town, 25 miles north of
Kokomo. Same flash, same loud boom, same
falling, burning debris. Quite a coincidence that a
meteor shower would deposit as rubble over the same geographic
area on two consecutive nights at approximately the same time
each night. Now that changes everything.
So now it's just not a Kokomo boom.
I mean it's two booms that have happened within 25 miles or so
of Kokomo. This is kind of a area wide
event witnessed by sounds like thousands of people.
At the end of the accumulated article you will find some
additional reports from individuals in the Kokomo area
that claim they witnessed yellow orbs hovering in the western sky
immediately after the big boom and another witness that claimed
they saw F16 fighters in the air after the event.
Funny how these guys never make it on TV, isn't it?
Never make it into the mainland press.
I have no idea what is occurring here but plan to be in that area
tonight at the same time in the late evening.
Hopeful that we will have a third consecutive event, please
review the attached information. And then it says it occurred
March 6th. I reported March 6th, posted
March 31st. Location Kokomo IN shaped light
15 to 20 minutes. That is really cool.
Then it goes on here It says March 6th, 2008 traveling N on
US 31 just South of Howard County.
While driving, my boyfriend and I spotted a yellow orange light
in the sky, a little closer than planes fly, but still pretty up
there. The glowing light appeared, then
faded away. A few minutes later, the light
appeared again and split horizontal, and two then faded
away. The light appeared a third and
fourth time, split horizontally into three lights, all fading
away 20 minutes later. We arrived very excited at our
destination, only to see this happen two more times with my
boyfriend's dad. We also saw a jet head toward
the objects before they went away.
This is my third encounter of this kind in and around Howard
County. All lights fading on and off,
all different formations. Wow.
And this is says it occurred March 6th.
So here we go proceeding this boom.
We have these orb sightings coming together splitting apart.
This so common that we hear this kind of behavior with these
orbs. But this time it seems like on
two different occasions they they were followed by these loud
Sonic booms and what appeared like burning debris falling out
of the sky. And of course, that metallic
smell I talked about. Well, here's one here it says
one of many. My girlfriend and I were on our
way home from the mall a couple of nights ago.
We were laughing and singing along with the radio.
I looked up into the sky and I saw a strange orange light.
It I felt almost hypnotized by it and then it disappeared
immediately. I told myself that it was only a
glare from passing vehicle as I was trying to ask my girlfriend
if she was, if she saw anything. She was actually trying to ask
me the same thing. So there was allowed
simultaneously. Did you see that now?
Skeptical, but still thinking logically, I assumed that it was
a cloud passing over a bright star or even a planet.
That's when I looked and about 3/4 of a mile northwest of the
national observations I saw another one and then another
right next to it. Each time 1 appeared, one
disappeared in a time sequence in a perfect counterclockwise
circular motion, like a domino effect.
Now I'm trigged. I frantically roll down my
window despite the cold winter air.
Just when I thought it was gone, another sequence would appear.
Each time it appeared to multiplier pulsate and always in
a perfect sequence. There were never more than three
lights in each one. I saw a total of three
individual sequence sequences on the way home.
Like, you know, during a 5 minute time period.
When we got back to the house, my girlfriend was trying to
convince me that it was probably a helicopter or something.
It wasn't. So now we're standing in the
driveway waiting on these things to show up again.
It didn't take long for them to appear.
This time there are two sequences in the sky at once,
about a mile apart from each other.
She no longer thinks it's a helicopter and we can barely see
super small twinkling lights in between each pulse.
I also noticed that there were suddenly several of the small
twinkling lights all over the western sky, moving in random
directions, some fast, some slow, sometimes disappearing and
appearing. I noticed a low distant rumbling
during the sequence, like an engine or explosion or breaking
barrier. Every dog in the neighborhood
was barking just as fast as a show started.
It ended. I personally can't think of a
logical explanation. Fireworks in winter with no
sound and in two different place and in two different parts of
the winter sky dot it. Maybe a flare.
Why and how and how so timed in two different areas could be a
hoax, but someone would have to have a lot of time on their
hands because I did see some research on this today.
I discovered several near to the T same observation as me.
Not only that, they were in different years and in different
locations. Something else I noticed in my
findings is these sightings almost always occurred in the
western sky. Now this sightings reported as
4/16/2008 which at the location Kokomo IN shaped formation 2
minutes. So you have these orbs showing
up here in and around Kokomo before and after this Kokomo
boom. This loud Sonic boom where
people reported seeing debris falling out of the sky.
They thought it was an airplane shot down.
Sounds like dozens if not hundreds of law enforcement and
firefighters and ENT show up. Can't find anything.
These people thought they saw an aircraft crashing and maybe it
was. Maybe it was just a UFO type
aircraft. This is another sighting from a
little bit further back we're talking about here at Kokomo.
It says four or five yellow lights in the sky followed a
loud explosion noise. They moved in a perfect unison.
If one went to the left, they all moved.
So four or five yellow lights in the sky followed a loud
explosion. We heard a big loud noise,
almost like an explosion. My dad and brother went outside
while I was on the phone with my dad.
My brother tried videotaping it, but I'm not sure how much he got
because it happened so quickly. My dad said there are like four
or five yellow lights all moving in unison to the left and now to
the right. They just suddenly disappeared.
And then it has a note here from Newport that says many reports
to the local media. We understand we do not know
what the objects were, but there is a possibility that they were
caused by a military exercise. However, military aircraft are
not allowed to fly supersonic overpopulated areas.
We would welcome reports from any other witnesses and the date
on this is 3/21/2005 Kokomo IN shape fireball.
So yet again, Sonic Blast Fireball Kokomo IN Clearly
there's some kind of a pattern going on here.
Now here's another one that says orange odd orangeish lights.
While heading home last night with a friend, I saw an object
to the northwest that at first looked somewhat like a normal
plane but was not flashing at all and had a distinctive orange
hue and collar. Suddenly another light just like
it appeared below, and the first light slowly dimmed out, then
reappeared. Then a third lit up below them
before fading out one by one, going from center to top then
bottom. The light lasted for maybe a
minute or a minute and 1/2. This is the second time I have
witnessed an event like this and it really has my curiosity going
out. I had posted to this site the
last time I saw lights like this, but I've not seen the
reported post yet. Anyway, after getting home, I
stood outside for a while and witnessed several more sites,
again with my friend and my wife.
The first I'd seen started with a single light in the northwest,
then one to the West, then three more in between them, spaced a
good distance apart. I would guess a couple miles or
more. Each light dimmed out.
Don't recall the exact order 1 by 1 until they were all gone.
Then two in the center reappeared, shortly followed by
the first one in the northwest for a couple seconds before they
all faded out. These lasted for about two
minutes. We all stood watching for about
another 15 minutes and witnessed three more single lights through
the north to the West and northwest sky all acting at the
same. They would light up, then slowly
dim out and usually relight for just a second or two before
dimming out again. We also noticed that there was
quite a few normal aircraft flying around.
Most of them were noticed directly above us or to the
east, with a couple coming from the northwest and heading and
heading and all heading north, or from where we are heading
directly in the direction of Grissom Air Force Base.
No normal planes were noticed around the lights or where they
were seen, man, and that's dated February 18th, 2005 S three
years before this Kookamo boom actually happened.
We got a couple more here we'll look at, and this just shows the
pattern. Sometimes, you know, you get the
headlights in the stuff and you say, oh, Kokomo boom.
Well, this happened on April or March or whatever back in 2008.
And it's easy for a skeptic to come in and say, well, it was
just a meteorite or it was just a military airplane that, you
know, broke protocol and created a Sonic boom.
But then when you go back and look at some of these reports,
you find out that this has been going on for years and it's the
same thing. People are seeing orbs, they're
hearing Sonic booms, and then they're witnessing falling
debris on fire falling from the sky.
It's it's just like that's the MO.
Loud orbs, loud noises, falling burning debris.
But they never find the debris. That's the strange thing now
this one here says My wife and I were leaving her parents house
located just to the outside of the city's east side.
While backing out. A very odd light formation
caught my eye. There were four lights in a
somewhat square pattern, and that was reddish orange and
color that dimmed out one by one to the northwest sky.
My wife had turned around just as the last couple.
I faded out. Then within maybe 10 or 15
seconds, another cluster of the lights appeared again directly W
that began as just one light, turning into what looked like
maybe four or more in a somewhat jagged line that again dimmed
out one by one. By the way the sky was clear.
On this night my wife ran into the house to get her parents as
we couldn't believe or figure out what she was seeing.
Just as my wife, son and her mother had come back outside,
one more single light was seen to the high southwest part of
the sky. There was also quite a few
normal aircraft flying and random back and forth patterns
around the around the area of the sighting.
At first I thought we were seeing some kind of lighting
from the aircraft, but the type of lighting we saw and the way
it faded out was unlike anything my wife or I have ever seen
before. I would describe it as a small
ball of fire slowly lighting then slowly burning out.
It has been driving me nuts ever since we've seen it.
As until finding this website I haven't heard of anyone else
anywhere in or around Kokomo that has seen it.
But from what a person in Peru IN describes it, it would be the
same lights we had seen and was also the same night.
This is dated January 14th 2005. Imagine this.
And it has the location. Peru Kokomo IN sphere about 20
minutes site. Certainly orbs.
Now, I didn't see anything there about the Sonic boom, but I
didn't. But they're talking about these
whites fading in and out. We'll do one last one right here
before they finish up. And you can go to the site and
you can look them up yourself and see.
I mean, it's so cool. These bright orange colored
objects accompanied by dozens of white lit objects appeared and
then streaked across the sky. My wife and I were traveling
southbound on SR29 and US2 on US 4/21 just West of Lafayette
toward Peru when 3 relatively large orange and white colored
spheres appeared South of us. Each of the bright spheres
emerged faded in one at a time until all three were easily
visible. They appeared to be very
different from normal aircraft lights.
We know that there are several airfields in the area, but these
were not wing or tail lights from any aircraft.
I know I can usually recognize those types of lights since I
used to be in the Air Force and had worked in the aerospace
defense industry. Shortly after they emerged, they
begin to fade out in order they appeared when they were visible.
They seem to have lined up in a straight line, but were not
evenly spaced apart. Along with these large bright
lights, we notice what seems to be dozens of smaller white
lights flying around in no particular pattern that we could
distinguish. These lights were much smaller
than the three big ones mentioned above, but were even
more intriguing to us. We noticed that these lights
would streak across the sky from east to northwest, S to north
and West to east, some in a straight level flight pattern
and some in a random pattern. We saw some of these fly level
and then suddenly shoot upward or downward vertically.
I have never seen an aircraft move in this fashion.
I know that the G forces alone from such maneuvers would make
it highly unlikely that these aircraft were ours.
I could actually see what appeared to be contrails behind
some of them at times. This lasted for about 20 minutes
as we continued traveling South. And this is March 6th, 2008,
7:50 PM. So this is right there, that
time frame where these orbs have been showing up accompanied by
the Sonic booms and the falling burning debris it's got it's got
some more sightings on here too. You can read.
This stuff is fascinating. Like I said, so often times we
come across these articles or I come across them and they're
interesting. You you read one or two articles
on the thing, you think you know about it.
But then when you get digging just a little bit deeper and you
luck out and you come across an article that normally doesn't
maybe hit the search engine on the first drive, you find these
little gems where actual eyewitnesses have written in and
given their accounts of what they saw, talked about their
experiences. And these experiences go back
years it turns out. So we can see here from this,
from these locals that live in that area.
This Kokomo Boom wasn't a one off thing.
This is something that has been going on for some time, the
orbs, the Sonic booms, the falling burning debris.
But if you're to listen to the media, they would just tell you,
well, it happened. Now it's over with, go back to
sleep. Well, we're not going back to
sleep. We're going to keep finding out
people's first hands accounts and we're going to get the
information at the source because that's how you get
disclosure. Until next time, this is UFO
Warning. Over and out.
