- Tippecanoe County Sheriff Smokey Anderson
Says Indiana Lights Are Flares
-
- HBCC UFO Research: After contacting the
Grissom AFB in Indiana asking about if they were carrying out any type
of exercise that may account for the strange sightings reported by many
over the orange lights, the AFB tells us nothing pretty much. Yet the Lafayette
(Ind.) Journal and Courier contacted the Tippecanoe County Sheriff and
spoke with a Smokey Anderson who had received information from the
Miami County Sheriff who reported the lights to be flares from training
exercises done at Grissom.
-
- Mr. Vike,
-
- I checked with Tippecanoe County Sheriff
Smokey Anderson about the orange-colored lights you said have been spotted
near Lafayette and other nearby towns. He said that the Miami County sheriff
said the lights are from flares from training exercises done at Grissom.
Grissom, however, will say that they are not doing training exercises if
they are contacted. Anderson, who lives in southern Tippecanoe County,
also spotted the lights about a year ago and made some calls then. He explained
them as these flares that shoot off in a circular motion (forgive me for
the description, but it's best explained in person). It's used to tell
an aircraft which direction to head, he said. I hope this explanation helps.
Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.
-
- Thank you to the Lafayette (Ind.) Journal
and Courier for their help.

- Woodlawn ( Ottawa ), Ontario Object Came
Together & Lit Up The Area
-
- Date: 1963 or 1964
- Time: Between 10:00 p.m. and
Midnight.
-
- Location of Sighting: Just west
of Ottawa along the Ottawa River
- Number of witnesses: 6 to 8
- Number of objects: 5
- Shape of objects: No bigger than stars
to begin with.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: Well,
this was quite a while ago and it seems that everyone who was there had
a slightly different account. So here is mine.
-
- Like I mentioned above this was around
1963 or 64 so I would have been 14 or 15 years old. It was summer, well
after sunset. I remember that my parents were out so it was just us teenagers
out in the back yard cooling out over the Ottawa River. You know talking
and goofing around as teens do. It was not cloudy and there was no moon
so all the stars were visible. I can't remember who exactly noticed at
first, but it was mentioned that a star had moved and then come to a stop.
What? yea sure was the general reaction, but we all stared upwards and
began looking. Sure enough there was movement and stoppage again and we
all began to see this. Then it was noticed that there was another, which
we all at the time thought were just stars until they moved and stopped.
-
- Over a bit of time we managed to count
at least five of these objects doing the same. I remember at first these
were all pretty well high up in the sky. Then they began to get further
apart over time in their movements and moved down closer to the horizon
and out over the river. All this time staying the same in size and no brighter
than your average star. There was no sound that we could hear, so all this
had us fairly fascinated. Move and stop, move and stop, all of us trying
to figure out what we were looking at. After perhaps half an hour or so
watching, I recall two of these moving closer together out over the river
to the north west. This is when it really got interesting because these
two objects came together and as they appeared to touch they lit up the
entire area. Not like it was daylight but I remember it was like a huge
and very bright flood lamp.
-
- Bright and white. This also gave me an
idea as to how far away it was from us. The direction we were looking was
towards where there is an island and that particular island was known to
us at the time as Six Mile Island. It was named this because of the distance
it was from where I lived and grew up at the time. Its real name is Aylmer
Island. So this illumination was at least six miles from us because it
lit up the island on the river and the opposite side of the river just
behind the island and everything in front of it, the river and towards
us.
-
- It did not remain lit up for very long,
but long enough to scare the heck out of all of us. I remember all who
were there, me included, giving out a yelp and running like scared rabbits
for the house. Wondering what this was all about we began to make some
phone calls and of course never got any satisfactory answers. The call
we made to the Ottawa airport was the most interesting when we were told
that there were helicopters out waiting for some special cargo plane from
Toronto. We had explained what we saw and that these made no sound at all,
but that was there answer to us. As I said at the beginning we all seemed
to have slightly varied accounts. My sisters account was the most interesting
though because she said she did not remember when the two came together
and illuminated the whole area. I must say, I have been interested in watching
the skies ever since and have seen some curious things, most much more
recently. That's this story as I remember it.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the interesting
report.

- Tacoma, Washington Black Rectangular
Oddity
-
- Date: Fall of 1991
- Time: Afternoon
-
- Location of Sighting: 1 mile SSW of the
Southwest end of Hoods Canal in Puget Sound.
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Rectangle
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: While
sailing on Puget Sound, near the South end of Hoods Canal, I sighted an
unusual black rectangle located due south of my location. I was under full
sail in my 21' San Juan racing hull, and was very attuned to my surroundings,
especially since I was sailing solo. I luffed up my boat ( slowed it down
) and watched the odd-looking object in the water, about 200 yards away
from me.
-
- I'd estimate it's length to be 90 to
100 feet long and 2 1/2 feet tall. It was, I can only best describe it,
an 'intense' black color and did not appear to bob around on the water.
This struck me as very odd, since there was about a 3 foot 'chop' in the
waters, with a few whitecaps showing , wind at around 14 M.P.H., gusting
to 25 M.P.H.
-
- It was cloudy with a few sun-breaks here
and there, one of which 'illuminated' the area where this strange thing
was located. I could see no reflections from seawater on it's hull, meaning
that the black rectangle appeared to be dry. It remained stationary, had
no wake or waves splashing on it and had no conning tower, fins, protuberances,
lights etc.
-
- If there were any sound (s) produced
from this craft , I did not hear any thru the hull of the sailboat or in
the air ( the wind and waves were the only sounds I could hear).
-
- I watched the object for 1 minute and
15 seconds, and then decided to quickly go below deck and get my binoculars.
This action took less than 10 seconds, but, to my dismay, the object was
nowhere to be seen when I emerged. I spent about 15 minutes looking for
it, sighting nothing unusual.
-
- I've seen many odd things while at sea,
but never anything quite like the above. I have no idea what it was, other
than the fact that it was not an animal or any known ( to me ) submarine
craft. There were no other boats in the immediate vicinity - the closest
was about 3-4 miles away, so I'm the only one I know to have seen this
black rectangular oddity.
-
- Additional Information:
-
- I would have had to seen it through the
binoculars to really give you a 100% answer on your question; my definite
impression, obtained from about 3 feet above sea level, was that this thing
was actually "in" the water, as I could not see any water
or features beneath it .
-
- There is a Navy torpedo testing base
very nearby this area, approx: 2 or 3 miles away. I'd sailed right through
this area on over 90 trips, under varied sea and weather conditions both
days and nights .
-
- When they're testing underwater stuff,
there's almost always Navy &/or Coast Guard activity, in my experience.
There was no such activity on the day that my sighting occurred, that I
was aware of. I sailed right past the test base within 40 mins. of my sighting,
proceeding through the waters until I reached Poulsbo, Wa., which is a
nautical 'dead-end' (one way in, one way out) .
-
- It's possible that it was some sort of
Navy project, but it behaved as if it was suspended precisely in one place,
unaffected by wind, tide or waves .
-
- Thank you, Brian, for doing so much fine
work on your website. I've enjoyed both reading and filing reports there for
years now. Yours is one of the consistently best-kept and current
that I've ever seen .
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Centennial, Colorado Glowing Ball Of
Light
-
- Date: September 10, 2001
- Time: 5:30 p.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: 2
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Glowing ball of light.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: I
was chatting to a neighbor outside when I happened to look up at the
sky. I noticed a glowing ball of light moving from the north west, it was
not very high in the sky, maybe a few hundred feet or so. I yelled "Look!"
and she also looked up, called her daughter who was playing down the street.
She ran to us and we were watching the sphere in awe. It clearly was not
a shooting star, as it moved very slowly in an arc over our heads and disappeared
from sight. It made no sound at all.
-
- Thank you to the witness for their report.

-
- Cedar Rapids, Iowa A Blue/Green
Ball Of Light
-
- Date: 2005 ?
- Time: Between 10:45 and 11:00 pm.
-
- I swear to the almighty lord Jesus that I
saw a spaceship in Cedar Rapids, Iowa last year in 2005. I was in a car
with some friends. I think that it was between 10:45 and 11:00 pm. when
my uncle said (what the heck is that). I said what are you talking
about, he said look up. I looked up and saw a blue/green ball of light
in the air it moved in a circular formation and then moved from left to right,
and flew straight up and zipped off leaving behind a blue streak of light
behind.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Throckmorton, Texas V Shaped Transparent
UFO
-
- Date: October of 2005
- Time: Evening
-
- Message: I saw a V-shaped, transparent
UFO in October of 2005, in Throckmorton, TX, a small, rural west Texas
town. I was looking for shooting stars, and instead, I saw a 5-star
upside-down V, gliding across the nighttime sky. I followed it as
it moved, and as I turned around to keep following it, it disappeared right
before my eyes! My cousin, who was with me, witnessed this as well.
-
- At other times, I have had other encounters,
seeing strange, slow moving crafts that would come at a standstill, then
zoom off at an angle out of view. All of these sightings have been
in the exact same town. Other people in that town have seen strange
things like that as well.
-
- I have heard about the military making
crafts that would almost mimic the slow moving, the hovering, but I do
not think that the military would have a craft that would be able to blend
in with its surroundings!
-
- Do we even have the technology for that?!
-
- Thank you to the witness for the interesting
report.

- Chandler, (Gaspesie Quebec) A White Glowing
Globe
-
- Date: March 6, 2006
- Time: Approx: 4:00 p.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: 6
- Number of objects: 1 or 2
- Shape of objects: Round to cigar shaped
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: I
was having tea in the kitchen with my biological mother (We met when I
was 25) & I wanted to ask her about a UFO sightings she had the night
I was conceived. I looked out the window and noticed the light in the sky,
like something falling, but it moved slow enough across the sky and disappeared
behind the trees and houses. It took about 4 or 5 minutes to fade out of
sight.
-
- I took a few photos, the best I could
out of my upstairs bathroom window. I had a dream the day before the sighting
of a big white orb floating down to earth.
-
- It looked like a white glowing globe
with a map of the world outlined on it in sparkling diamonds. I ran in
to get my camera and went back out to take photo's and in the sky were
little twinkling golden stars which moved about and formed into a lions
head then into the shape of the sphinx, then I was abruptly woken up.
-
- I stuck the photos into my photobucket
account and you can get a hold of them at the following link. (The 1st
photo of the odd streak in the sky with the sunset is from last year in
February almost 1 year before, the rest are dated).
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- East Of Battle Ground, Indiana Another
Witness Confirms Orange Lights
-
- Date: March 29, 2006
- Time: Approx: 9:00 p.m.
-
- Message: This is an addition to your
report of lights in the Kokomo Indiana area. They were also visible on
Wednesday, March 29, 2006 around 9:00pm from Battle Ground Indiana.
They are due east and fairly distant.
-
- I've seen them before as well, sometime
within the last 2 years. I didn't take note of the exact date but
it was during an outdoor program I was doing either on a Friday or Saturday
evening between 7:30 and 8:30pm. The entire audience started to make comments
and point over my head. Lights off in the east hanging in midair, then
just going out. I joked about the mother-ship coming back for me, but just
assumed they were some sort of flare from the AFB off that way.
-
- Next time we see them maybe we'll try
to track them down. (east of Battle Ground, south of Kokomo)
-
- Thank you to the witness for this report.

- Vernon, British Columbia Fast Traveling
Orb
-
- Date: April 2, 2006
- Time: 9:30 p.m.
-
- Hi Brian, at 9:30 pm tonight I was outside
enjoying the clear night and bright sliver moon when I noticed movement
from the south sky. It was an orb, under satellite height and moving a
little faster than a satellite. It brightened for a second to a white brilliance,
then dimmed back to the brightness of a satellite. As I tracked it's direction
toward the WNW it accelerated in a straight line appearing to "take
off" like a plane off the runway heading away from the atmosphere.
- Take care.
-
- Thank you to the witness for their report.

- Hamilton, Ontario Hovering Disk Shaped
Craft
-
- Date: April 3, 2006
- Time: 7:45 a.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: 2
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Disk
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: Hey,
my name is (name removed), I live in Hamilton, Ontario Canada. I have witnessed
3 UFO sightings over the past couple of months over Lake Ontario. In Hamilton
there is a street called Burlington Street which goes straight towards
the lake, so you can see a full view of Lake Ontario while you are driving. I
drive this way every morning around 7:30 - 7:45ish. My first sighting happened
about 3 months ago, when me and my friend were driving down Burlington
Street at 7:45, there were clouds covering the lower part of the lake,
but it was a bright sky above the clouds, now all these sightings have
happen while I was driving, so we only caught glimpses of them. All
of a sudden we saw something shoot through the clouds and into the sky,
leaving behind a straight line in the clouds. We thought it was really
weird. The second sighting happen at the same time, 7:45, while were driving
on Burlington Street again. It was a clear sky and we saw just a little
swiggle in the sky, it was not moving, just sitting there. I have
seen video of the exact same sighting before, it was very weird. But today's
sighting topped everything, as we were again driving down Burlington Street
and looking at the view of the lake, I thought I saw a bird gliding
into the wind, but then I realized, it wasn't moving. My buddy and
I started to take a closer look, it was a craft hovering over the lake.
It was in a disk shaped form! Just sitting there watching all the
cars going by on the highway. I know what I saw, and it was for
sure a disk. I know that there is alot of sighting over Lake Ontario, do
you know why I know. I've witnessed three of them. If you have any
questions please get back to me.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Playa Del Rey, California Unusual Maneuvers
For Triangular Lights
-
- Date: April 3, 2006
- Time: 1:35 a.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 3
- Shape of objects: Triangle
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: I
was having a cigarette, looking for satellites because it's a clear night.
I saw three lights in a triangle shape, higher and moving faster than any
plane I've ever seen before. I see a lot of planes as I live next
to LAX. But these made no noise, not even a delay of noise. As they went
towards the horizon heading west, it change shape, and two light went left
(south) and disappeared. The third stayed straight and disappeared.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Cardiff, UK Lights Seen To Dance Around
In The Sky
-
- Date: April 3, 2006
- Time: 11:45 p.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 3
- Shape of objects: Shapes indefinable
(blurred)
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: At
11.45pm (3 April, Monday) I saw something that I never believed I would.
I was in the backyard having a cigarette and looking at the stars and the
moon. I saw in the sky what at first I thought was a plane, until it changed
direction at such an acute angle, almost going back in the opposite direction.
At this point it was joined not by one but two more "lights"
(they were very blurry, orange in colour, although there was alot of light
pollution ) they danced around each other for, well it could have only
been seconds, and then moved off in a diagonal formation. I was confused
at first and shocked that I had seen this event. I called my wife but by
the time she had got from the living room the objects had disappeared out
of sight.
-
- This started close to the constellation
of Taurus in a NW direction. The objects moved off in a North direction.
These couldn't have been planes/jet fighters, birds etc. I don't
make silly claims. I have seen things in the sky before but always put
it down to planes/ satellites, space junk and the like. This was none of
these and quite frankly has shaken me considerably.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Vernon, British Columbia More Orb Like
Objects
-
- Date: April 5, 2006
- Time: 4:45 am - 5:45 am
-
- Hi Brian, I had a restless night, so
at 4:30 this morning I was outside watching the Northern Lights when I
spotted a globe (orb) very slowly heading east. This orb appeared to be
very low in the sky. A short time later there was another globe very slowly
flying south. This one appeared to be higher in the sky but also appeared
to descend lower as it went south. A short time later there were
two in the sky. One going north and the other going south.
-
- It looked as though one was flying at
a higher altitude when they passed each other, as it was smaller than the
one heading south. All the orbs stayed at the brightness of the smaller
stars and were moving slowly. Not like the other night when the orb I reported
accelerated so fast, leaving no trail, that my eyes crossed following it.
I checked the Heavens-Above to make sure that they weren't satellites,
and hoping I read the chart right there were no satellites at this time.
-
- Thank you to the witness for their report.

News Reporter Talking About A Stealth ?
-
- Date of news: April 5, 2006
-
- Hi Brian, had to write to you about what
I heard, on the news yesterday. I have it recorded on my TiVo. Yesterday,
the news was on, and the weather man just got finished talking about the
weather. It's been raining here for a few days, and he gave the weather
report for the next week. The news lady, who's name is Coleen Williams
said, she saw the Stealth Bomber do a fly by. It was just under the
clouds, and it looked like a big kite in the sky. The weather
man, who's name is Fritz Coleman said, that's strange, I wonder why it
didn't show up on my Doppler. To me they got a funny look on there
faces, and changed the subject. Maybe what she really saw , was a
large Triangular shaped craft, other then the Stealth. It was on the channel
4 news, here in Los Angeles,Ca.
-
- Thank you to the person for the note
on this.
