Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Landed

A short creature with big black shiny eyes ran from my shed back behind my car and then green lights flashed and it was gone.

My wife and I were sitting on our back patio on the evening of July 2, 2023. As we were sitting and talking casually amongst ourselves, at around 9:45 the “motion” light on our backyard shed turned on. It immediately caught my attention as it’s roughly 30-35 feet from where we were sitting. My wife’s car is parked a couple of feet in front of the shed where the light shines off the front left side. At first I didn’t really think too much of it but I continued watching for just a moment. Then very quickly, I saw a very short “being” run from behind the shed out past a gap and behind the car from our perspective. Its skin color was a very tan looking color. It was barely taller than the hood of the car, which is a small sedan. So roughly 3-3 1/2 feet in height. Its body was small and slender and its head was bigger and more rounded. Its eyes were huge and took up most of its facial space. The eyes were black and very shiny. I could see two eyes looking towards me as it ran by like it knew we were sitting there. I felt as if we made eye contact as it ran by and I was genuinely left speechless for a moment. Immediately after it ran behind the car there was a flash of green light what seemed barely 15-20 feet in the air and that was it, it vanished into thin air. We never saw anything else and were honestly so freaked out we came back inside. After initially seeing the being’s eyes and the feeling that I saw them so clearly I felt like I had made eye contact with it. I had an overwhelming feeling of emotions and my eyes didn’t stop watering for a while. We couldn’t talk about anything else the rest of the night. Every time I even thought about the instance I got instant chills and still felt like I could see them so clearly in my memory. This is a first time encounter for my wife and I and really felt like it needed to be reported somewhere. Thank you for taking the time to read.

So I took video and pictures of it when I started recording it started morphing like it saw me it scared the shit out of me literally I was shaking I felt like it scanned me all my hairs we’re standing up and my brain told me to run if you guys look at my proof man I’m telling you it will give you chills. I know this is hard to say it took me a long time to tell my wife I think something happened to me when I was 9 and when I was 17 there was these shadowy creatures small about four feet with three long fingers and they had big black oval eyes to also remember a bright blue light and like I was floating out of my house up into the sky but I feel like they did something put something in my nose I would get severe nose bleeds after this and I would get this weird triangular pattern of dots on different parts of my body every so often I believe I was abducted as a child and I remember being scared at night I was afraid to tell my parents because I didn’t think they believe me I want to get hypnotized to see what really happened I swear to god after that I have had dreams that came true I also had some other unique abilities nothing awesome but would get premonitions allot my wife can back me up on this I’ll take a lie detector test also to prove it whatever you need but I still want to know what they did to me and I still feel like they are watching me I do have 0 - rh - blood also I was afraid to tell anyone for so long now I’m not I don’t care if people think I’m crazy or not I know what I saw thank you this is freaking me out.

I am a retired member of the U.S. military. I am very familiar with rotary and fixed wing aircraft, what we observed was neither. I was at a local grocery store to pick up my wife from work. We observed a triangular shaped object with three orange orbs on the underside of the craft. the craft was approximately one mile in altitude.

The object moved from Northeast to Southwest at a slow steady speed.there was no noise from the craft. There where fire works in the area, but not close enough to drowed out engine noise.

The entire event lasted approximately 4 minutes.at which point the craft disappeared. I am certain that the radar at Ft. Knox observed the craft. End of report.

While traveling northbound on I-65 today heading toward Louisville, I saw a bright light flashes. The light resembled a star. It was high in the sky. The light flashed distinctive times in 3 places far apart in the western sky. I had on HD type sunglasses at the time I saw it. I could not see any craft such as an airplane that might have reflected the sun. Also, the speed and distance between the flashes seemed to me to rule out an aircraft.

Shape: Flash
Characteristics: Lights on object

About the size of a satellite traveling unfixed L-shape path w/inconsistent flashing appearing/disappearing inconsistently

The sky was perfectly clear, black and the stars and Milky Way were spectacular. Over the western horizon, my husband and I saw a quick flash of light, about the same size as a star or satellite.

About 15 seconds later we saw the same flash again, this time it was slightly above where we saw the first flash.

We both stared at the sky and waited. The flash continued at inconsistent intervals (10 – 30 seconds) and seemed to be traveling in a straight path going upwards (west horizon to east).

When looking closely, the flash consistently mimicked one of a light house – not simply on/off, but appeared to be a light circling around and did not create a distinctly visible beam or tail.

After a few minutes, the flash seemed to begin moving in a different direction, toward the south. The flash continued for another minute or two then faded away toward the southern sky.

It was only one object which traveled towards me then seem to arc around and head north east. It was slow moving and made no noise.

If someone knows anyone at ATC at Harrisburg International. Have them check the radar at that time. I'm within 10 miles of HIA.

Not trying to debunk a sighting, and I'm not a expert, but I believe the sighting over Elizabethtown, PA, was a single Chinese lantern.

I haven't determined who launched the lantern, but it was flying low, so I assume from Elizabethtown. My guess is the college.

4 bright white lights seen in a line formation, object (lights) went from horizontal orientation to completely perpendicular formation.

Object seen while traveling on 83 heading toward 743 in the Elizabethtown area. While hovering the object had 4 very bright distinct (round) lights situated in a perfectly straight line formation quite close together, the object moved from a horizontal orientation to completely perpendicular orientation to the ground and hovered like that for a brief time before the lights faded away.

Two witnesses observed object for about 15-20 minutes while traveling in which the object traveled in a wide circle formation seen in the sky at a distance in front of vehicle, then moved to the right, then behind, and so forth all while maintaining about the same altitude and distance.

When the object was moving the 4 bright lights dimmed and were seemingly orientated in a more triangular format than in a straight line.

Flickering objects in stationary formation

We live approximately 6 miles south of Elizabethtown, KY, and approximately 16 miles south of Fort Knox. At approximately 2230, on 4 Sep. 14, while walking my dogs, I noticed four bright objects, flickering red/green and hovering in the South/Southwest sky. 

At first I thought the objects were aircraft on approach glide path to Louisville Airport (SDF). They were evenly spaced and staggered: 2 aligned and higher in altitude, and 2 aligned at a lower altitude.

After observing the objects for about 5 minutes I noticed that they were not moving.

The objects in the southern sky appeared as follows:                 *                    *                                                            *                    *

I brought my wife and 16 year old son outside to observe, and to help me identify the objects. We noticed a fifth object of similar size and shape flickering red/green to the West at about the same altitude as the other four. We watched the objects for about 20 minutes. The objects did not move from their positions and continued to flicker red and green. Other air traffic moved througout the sky near objects.

Objects appeared to react towards aircraft by emitting a beam (very quick to the eye) and/or turning towards aircraft in an aggressive manner.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Zig-zagging set of four lights, one red and two white, that repeatedly conformed into one bright red object above the interstate

We were driving on the interstate when two white and one red light flew into our sight ahead of our car. The red light appeared to divide into two red lights and the four lights formed a diamond shape. We had to keep driving but as I was looking, it continued in a zig-zag pattern above the interstate and hills surrounding it. The four lights converged into one large red light and then separated. It repeated this another time until it disappeared from my sight behind the trees. I could see the glowing red light from about one and a half miles down the road because of its brightness.

It happened in an area surrounding the interstate which was hilly and covered with trees. There were some fields. I'm not sure if the field had crops or livestock since it was dark. The sky was cloudy, so I couldn't see any stars. It wasn't near an airport either. Someone said it was a helicopter, but the windows were open and I didn't hear any noise. It was also flying fairly low.

Red Ball UFO in Elizabethtown, KY in 2013

About 1 year ago, I am not sure to the exact date, I was standing outside talking on my cell phone. I am not sure of the time of day, but it was dark outside at the time of the event.

What I witnessed was a red ball hovering in the air at approximately 1500-2000 ft. elevation. There was no sound associated with the object. After hovering for a few seconds the single red ball divided into 2 separate red balls.

Immediately after separation the 2 glowing red balls flew around erratically in opposite directions for approximately 15 seconds before coming back together and forming 1 single object. The red object repeated this process 2 or 3 times before disappearing.

I was standing outside by myself at the time, but 2 of my neighbors from up the street came down to where I was standing to watch this event bringing the total number of witnesses to 3.

We did not know what the object was as none of us had seen anything like it before.

The only thing we could we could classify it as was a UFO.

Bright Oval Dissolved/Flickered in night sky

Very cloudy, over-cast, raining on and off throughout the evening. Noticed a bright oval/bell shaped light with a dim redish hue radiating from the object. It was late at night and looked as if there was a magnificent sunset coming through the clouds. The object/light lasted for 4 or 5 seconds and flickered/dissolved away. As it dissipated I could still see a purplish light as if I was staring at a bright light and gone; it did not fly away in a particular direction it was stationary.

The color of the light: oranges, reds, yellows, whites, purples (like a orange sunset with definitive edges)

My friend and I were both baffled and in shock! We both described the same thing back to each other to make sure we saw the same thing, our descriptions were exact.

A plane flew by minutes later and it was 1/30th the size and much higher in the sky.

I was in my kitchen cooking with 3 friends at 12:30 am on the 11th of July,2008, when I had an urge to step out on my porch. as soon as I stepped out and looked up I saw what I thought was a low flying airplane. as the craft came closer I noticed that it made no sounds at all. none. I realized also that the craft was flying way too low for faa regs. Then I noticed that the craft was shaped in a triangle or arrowhead. It was flying very fast and very smooth motion, straight line. i ran inside and alerted the other 3 who ran outside just in time to see that it was a triangle craft, that it made no sound, that it was flying very fast and very low, and that it was flying away from our home towards Ft. Knox Military base. I tried to get out my cell phone camera for pictures but I was way too slow.

Large Triangle craft, white lights on all 3 corners, 1 red light and 1 white light on each side if the craft. No Noise. All 4 witnesses described the incident in the same manner, exactly.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Bright blue almost LED type light transversing the entire distance of the distant sky in 2-3 seconds.

I was driving home from work on Ring Rd. in Elizabethtown Ky. I was listening to the radio...just watching the road in front of me. It was 7:20 am. It was dawn but not quite light yet. The sky was still a deep blue color. Clear weather, no clouds. Off in the horizon at about a 60 degree angle from myself, a bright blue light appeared to come around the curvature of the earth on the left of me and continue on a direct course until it disappeared around the curvature of the earth on the other side of the horizon approximately 2-3 seconds later. The color of the light was about that of a blue LED light that people use to decorate the hoods of their cars with. It was deep, bright....almost neon. It truely looked almost exactly like a LED light. It could tell it was very far in the distance and high in the sky based on it's position relative to the horizon. This thing was booking it. The speed it must have been travelling to transverse the entire curvature of the horizon from one side to the other in 2-3 seconds is mind boggling. Even at the distance I was, the light appeared to be about 3-4 times larger than a bright star in the night sky...ofcourse that's my own comparison, it was already dawn so there were no stars visible behind it to directly compare it's size to. I was very far away and listening to the radio so no sound.

UFO's over Kentucky Seen EVERY clear night, all night between 1 and 7 at a time.

I have seen flying disks over KY, up close on two occasions, for many years.

But thats not what im writting about. Any clear night where I live I see three or more in the sky that remain all night in a pattern that mimicks the moving stars. They give off a distant but brilliant light that pulses at different colors and gets brighter before and as it moves. It moves slightly as to stay in its general pattern area and performs manuvers that are both amazing and beautiful.

Problem is , no one seems at all interested in these lights. They are there all the time in a huge grid pattern. Well. feel free to contact for questions and or publish this e-mail if you wish.

Several lights appear over Elizabethtown, KY.

We were sitting outside late at night when we saw in the north-western sky, just over the tops of the trees what looked like airplane lights. These lights were stationary. We got out our video camera and zoomed in on it. We could not only see one light (flashing), but we saw two separate disc type shapes very close together in the sky. At first glance it looked like headlights on a car in the sky. They (the lights) appeared to be spinning. The two disc shapes had red and green lights which blinked in a radom pattern. Below the two disc shapes a very small solid color green or blue light would appear and go toward the discs and back. We live within 20 miles of Fort Knox. We got into our car to drive closer to it. We drove from Elizabethtown North toward Radcliff. As we would appear to be getting closer to the objects, they then would move. We turned and went in West toward Vine Grove. These objects were moving now rapidly. By the time we arrived in Vine Grove, keeping the objects in sight the entire time, they just disappeared. In an effort to get closer, no matter how far we would drive it would just stay about the same distance from us. We drove back to Elizabethtown talking in the car about what we saw. Too bad we could not get closer to get a better video. As we were one block from home, just over the tops of some one story houses, the object we had been chasing for 2 hours, appeared to our left, VERY CLOSE. The lights appeared to be less than 100 feet from our vehicle. My wife grabbed the video camera. As we prepared to stop, one light disapeared, then the second one disappear in less than a second. We were on the side of the road looking into a black sky. There was nothing. The night was very clear and we had with us three other people who saw the same thing. We never heard any noise with the lights.

Took the dog to the bathroom around 3am.

Was standing on the deck while the dog did its business. She started barking and looking behind me. I turned around and over the house saw a triangle shape.

The sky was clear with lots of stars and this thing was clear as can be.

The only noise it made was a low pitched hum (very low) There were 7 dull white lights on the bottom 1 at the point of the triangle then two lights on the next set then three lights then one at the back. This things was only about 20 feet above the trees. It moved slow for such a big object and i would estimate that to be 30 feet long 20 feet wide. It reminded me of the ship in star wars with the same triangle shape. The one oddity that still sticks with me is the fact that when you looked at the edges of this thing the stars in the back ground seemed to distort. And over the last couple of months i have noticed some high flying objects that look like stars normally in pairs but moving much to fast and when they turn they turn together like they are attached. I have seen jets at night and these things are way to fast to be jets. Last set i saw and timed with a stop watch they went from horizon to horizon in 36 seconds.

4-15-05 small star-like object (not jet/plane/satellite) seen Elizabethtown, Ky. in daylight around 3:15pm which made a 45 degree turn

I was wondering if anyone in the Elizabethtown area reported an unidentified flying object sighting on Friday, April 15, 2005.

Around 3:15pm as I was sitting at the stop light near the Mall I saw a very unusual object flying in the sky. The object was not a jet or plane or satallite because it was moving very fast and then hesitated and made a 45 degree turn and disappeared into the distance. The object look similar to a small star that you would see in the night sky. I observed it for about 3 minutes. It was small and not very noticable to the human eye.

I do not believe in aliens from outer space. I do not know how to report this to the government.

There does not seem to be a government web site available for this.



NUFORC Note:

The U. S. government does not maintain a website for reporting UFO's, although we have reason to believe that various agencies in the government follow the phenomenon very closely. One agency has admitted to NUFORC that their personnel follow the postings to our site. PD

Unexplained Light over Hardin County.

Observed an unknown light traversing the sky at an undeterminable rate of speed. The light moved from NE to SW in the span of 5 seconds or less before it was out of sight. This incident occurred as I was passing the exact spot where I first spotted the triangular shaped UFO several years ago in the mid 1990's (I recently submitted this event, but have yet to see it posted) but this sighting occurred at a much higher elevation.

As I was driving down Hutcherson Lane at a speed of 20mph, a bright yellow light entered my field of view from the top of my windshield. At first the light was travelling relatively slow, but then accellerated to a speed greater than I've seen any aircraft fly. It crossed my field of vision in 5 seconds or less, traversing diagonally across my windshield in a NE to SW direction before disappearing from sight.

I've ruled out the light as either a falling star or meteorite due to the fact that every event I've seen or heard of involving one of the above details the object as possessing a tail behind it. Besides, I've never known either of those stellar event to accellerate mid flight. The object also appeared to be moving parallel to the earths surface instead of angular, as if on a crash collision.

Woman witnesses triangular, arrowhead-shaped object over home.

March 14 2001 at 1:00 am ((name and personal data deleted)) Elizabethtown, KY This sighting was by my wife who is ((name deleted)) Please do not use her name, address, or phone number. I couldn't sleep so I was watching TV. We have sliding glass doors along side of the TV. I noticed something Bright through the sliding glass door. It was Reddish orange and very bright. The entire object was not this color just the edges all the way around. We live near the lake in Elizabethtown Ky. This lake had a problem and they drained most of the water out of it. The Dam is repaired now but the water level is not up to normal level yet. This Bright Light appeared to be over the lake near the dam. It stayed at that location for a long time with out moving. I thought it might be a Helicopter from Fort Knox. While this object was over the lake a Helicopter came by, I thought sure he would have seen the bright light from the object but he never changed his direction. She said she could hear the Helicopter but never heard any sound from the other object. We are located on the flight path for The Helicopters from the Louisville hospitals to Hardin Memorial Hospital our local hospital. She said aer a while the bright light started moving easterly which brought it closer to me. It was moving very slow over the tree tops and when it was located over the First Presbyterian Church, which is about a half block away I could see it very good. (It could have been farther away then half a block but she could not tell.) It was not a Helicopter and it was not an Airplane. I moved to a kitchen window where I could see better and it looked like a big arrow pointing up. She said it stayed in this position the entire time she seen it. It was lit up all the way around the outside edge and it was easy to see it's shape. Enclosed is a drawing of what it looked like. As it started getting out of my view, I went up stairs and watched until I could not see it any longer. We do not have any windows on the east side of our house. I watched it for a total of 45 minutes. She was unable to tell the size other than it looked about 8 to 10 feet tall. This is the position it stayed in all the time she seen it. This was Submitted by ((personal data deleted))

While traveling south on Sportsman Lake road i noticed a silver disk southwest towards the Hodgenville, Buffalo area. I thought it was a reflection of a grain silo, until it moved and disappeared on the horizon.

Triangular object traveling south crossed the highway in front of us hovered then turned east and left with no sound.

The object crossed the highway in front of us coming from the north. It was approx. 50 feet off the ground and traveling slowly. We stopped and I got out to see it better. It was cold and clear out with no moon. I could see the details by the street lights. It stopped by the water tower just yards east of it, ocillated, turned toward the east, then sped off. The only sound was as it left, it sounded like a "tubine" winding down during shut off. The object was triangular shaped with the front being the base of the triangle. There were 3 red lights. One one each corner. The surface appeared to have a lot of conduit type fixtures on it. When it left, it passed right over a trailer home of the Mayor of the town. When I got home, I call the mayor and asked him if he had heard anything approx. 15 min earlier. He stated that he and his wife didn't hear any thing but they had experienced an earthquake about that time. He said the walls started shakeing with items falling from shelves. I contacted Fort Campbell Ky and asked if they had any helocopters in our area. They would not confirm. They finally put the flight commander on the phone and the conversation went something like this: Me: "Sir, I know that you people have been having problems with the night vision equipment lately but I need to know if you or Scott AFB have any birds in the area over southern Illinois." Commander: " Sir, I can't give that information out." Me: "I understand that. The reason I am asking is I just saw something very unusual." Commander: "What did you see?" Me: "I saw something cross Hwy 146 in Harding county Illinois at Elizabethtown coming from the north going south. It was about 50 feet off of the ground and almost hit the water tower. With the problems that you have been having with Night Vison, they shouldn't be that low in a residential area." Commander: "Maybe it was a civilian aircraft." Me: "I don't want you to think I'm crazy but I've never seen an aircraft like that. Your birds are always flying! over ou r area and I know what helocopters look like but this was different. I got a good look at it. It was low. It stopped not more than a hundred feet from me and my wife and hovered. It made no sound at all untill it left, then it sounded like a turbine winding down. It had 3 red lights that did not blink. I could not see a cockpit or windows." Commander: " Which direction was traveling when you last saw it?" Me: East. I got out of my vehicle and watched it leave at a high rate of speed." I then told him about the mayor's statement to me. The Commander said "Sir I can't tell you where our birds are due to security, but I can tell you that neither us nor Scott AFB have had any aircraft in your area all day. Do you wish to make an official report?" Me: " No. I work for the Illinois Department of Corrections. I may sound crazy but I'm not. I don't need the problems."

TRIANGLE SHAPED SHADOW BLOCKS OUT STARS

FIRST OF ALL, THE ONLY PERSON I EVER TOLD OF THIS EVENT WAS MY WIFE. I AM CURRENTLY EMPLOYED AS A ((law enforcement officer)), BUT AT THE TIME I WAS WORKING FOR ((deleted)) YOUTH CAMP. I HAD JUST GRADUATED COLLEGE AND THIS WAS MY FIRST REAL JOB. I WAS ABOUT TO GET OFF WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 2100 HOURS. IT HAD BEEN COLD AND WINDY ALL DAY, BUT THE SKY WAS CLEAR THAT NIGHT. I WAS WALKING FROM MY WORKSITE TO MY VEHICLE WHEN I FIRST KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THE WIND, WHICH HAD BLOWN ALL DAY SUDDENLY STOPPED. THERE WAS PLENTY OF LIGHT DUE TO THE CLEAR SKY AND THE MOONLIGHT. WHEN THE WIND STOPPED BLOWING, EVERYTHING BECAME QUIET. EVEN THE USUAL INSECT AND BIRD SOUNDS STOPPED. THEN, I OBSERVED A SHADOW MOVE OVER ME, JUST LIKE WHEN A AIRPLANE FLIES ACROSS THE SUN. I LOOKED UP AND OBSERVED A TRIANGLE SHAPED OBJECT MOVING ACROSS THE SKY ABOVE ME. THE OBJECT WAS COMPLETELY BLACK, AND BLOCKED OUT THE STARS AND MOON. IT MADE NO SOUND AT ALL. IT SEEMED TO HOVER, THEN MOVE, THEN HOVER, THEN MOVE. FINALLY, IT TURNED WHILE HOVERING, THEN IT QUIETLY MOVED OUT OF MY FIELD OF VISION. WHEN IT DISAPPEARED, THE WIND STARTED BLOWING AGAIN, AND ALL THE USUAL NOISES OF THE FORREST RETURNED. I WAS UNABLE TO JUDGE ITS SIZE OR ALTITUDE BECAUSE I HAD NO REFERENCE BY WHICH TO JUDGE IT. HOWEVER, IT WAS LARGE ENOUGH TO BLOCK OUT SEVERAL STARS AT A TIME, AND CAST A SHADOW ON THE GROUND. ALTHOUGH I HAVE WORKED AS A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER, DEPUTY SHERIFF, AND NOW A POLICE OFFICER, I HAVE NEVER BEEN AS AFFRAID AS I WAS THAT NIGHT. WHEN I GOT HOME, MY WIFE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING BOTHERING ME. I TRIED TO CONVINCE MYSELF THAT I HAD IMMAGINED IT, BUT WHEN I RETURNED TO WORK, OTHER EMPLOYEES INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD ALSO OBSERVED IT. EMPLOYEES THAT WERE OFF DUTY IN THE ON SITE LIVING QUARTERS REPORTED THAT AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME THE OBJECT WAS SEEN, THE SATALITE TELEVISION LOST ITS SIGNAL FOR APPROXIMATELY 4-5 MINUTES. I TRIED TO PUT THE INCIDENT BEHIND ME, BUT I NEVER FELT COMFORTABLE WORKING IN THE FORREST AGA! IN. I SO ON RESIGNED MY POSITION FOR PERSONAL REASONS. I WAS ALSO AN AVID HIKER AND CAMPER. I HAVE NOT SPENT A NIGHT IN THE FORREST SINCE.

Characteristics: Lights on object

This was a Saturday night when I was quite a bit younger. My father, mother, and I had just gotten home about 1:00 am from an auction. My parents went to bed and I stayed up to watch TV. I noticed a bright light outside our front door. I went to the door and looked out expecting to see a patrol car making rounds, or something to that nature.

What I saw was absolutely amazing. I will try to be as precise as possible. The craft was about 200 feet in the air above the field and an adjacent house.

The shape was circular and rotating. I immediately called my mother in to see the object. She was speechless. There was no noise. There were several lights, however, it was more of an ambient light that what you would expect from a flying craft. It was not the beam lights from any sort of spotlight. The craft was at least the size of a football field and was not completely smooth. There appeared to be several points on the underbelly and even one that lo! oked like a platform.

As we observed it rotating, we called for my dad. The rear, or what I assume was the rear, came into view as we called for him. It was different from the rest of the craft. It was square shaped, and had three large white lights that changed to red. At that point my mother and I both turned to yell at my dad again. When we turned back, it was gone. Just 1-2 seconds that we turned away it disappeared.

I can remember this encounter like it was yesterday. My mother and I still talk about it behind closed doors.

I had to share this to help ease my mind and see if anyone else has seen something similar.

Black Triangular shaped craft with 3 pulsating red lights.

First off, I have a horrible concept of time so the day and year are estimates. However, my memory of the encounter is clear as if it happened yesterday. If verification is needed, proof could probably be provided by contacting one of three sources. First, one could contact The News Enterprise since a short article was ran documenting the appearance of the object. This article noted that two witnesses had seen the object, two policemen in fact. I've no idea if they filed an official report on the matter but contacting either the Kentucky State Police post in Hardin County or the Elizabethtown Police Department might yield further information on the subject.

As for my encounter, I was driving home very early one morning around 0200 after playing Dungeons and Dragons with my friends at the comic book store I owned when I saw the object. I was on Hutcherson lane, about a half mile off US1600 when I experienced a compelling urge to look up in the sky. What I saw surprised me. Hovering above a field, roughly 500 feet in the air (hard to tell depth due to visibility and no frame of reference) was a triangular shaped object that would have likely dwarfed a football field had it landed. At first it was difficult to discern the shape of the object since it was black and I was viewing it at night, thankfully it was a clear night. Due to the three orange/red lights, which seemed to pulse slowly, I was able to make out the silhouette of a triangle. The craft just hovered there as I drove under it, making no noise at all. As far as I know, the military does not have an aircraft with VTOL capability that can hover without noise for an extended amount of time. The cops that viewed the object spotted it from Ring Road, as far as I know, I'm the only one that got a close look at the craft.

As for the article in the paper, it stated that further investigation into the matter would be handled by one of the government agencies (I forget which one they mentioned now). A few days later after the initial article, it was determined that the "craft" was, in fact, reflections from the fireworks at the Heartland Festival.

I assure you, what I drove under was no reflection from fireworks (fireworks that were over well before midnight by the way), nor was I high, drunk or no medication of any kind at that time.
