NUFORC UFO Sighting 106349
Occurred: 2014-01-13 20:30 Local
Reported: 2014-01-16 09:08 Pacific
Duration: Unknown
No of observers: 1

Location: Rushville, IN, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

2 non-blinking lights (one red and one blue) on a stationary, triangular object

I saw two non-blinking lights on the edge of the craft. On one point was a blue light and on the other was a red. Niether of the lights were blinking and I thought perhaps it was a tower I had never noticed on my way home from working going towards Brookville. But as I got closer, I realized that it was directly above the road about 100 to 150 ft in the air.

I then thought maybe it was a low flying plane or helicopter until I got directly below it and realized it was not moving and it was triangular in shape with no blinking lights as required on each wing of an airplane or aircraft.

I then continued down the road and did catch a glimpse of it in my review mirror but decided not to turn around because I figured I would find a clear answer of what it was when I got home, but I had no such luck.

bright stationary white light, dimmed to nothing and began blinking red sparaticly, turned right and decended

I was driving down the stretch of 245, connecting Gorham ny and Rushville ny. As i was driving approximately 70mph i noticed a bright light on my right hand side that appeared to be staying relatively the same distance from my car as i approached Rushville. It appeared to move around the sky as if following my car. The light stayed in view the entire time. App on entering Rushville i went right, up Baldwin hill rd. passing Marcus Whitman high school. at this point i thought it was the water tower light. However as i neared a stop sign i was facing the light and could see several other lights much smaller moving from left to right passing the light on there decent, they appeared to have a reddish blinking lights. I saw two distinct lights travel parallel to each other towards Canandaguia. passing the white light as the descended left to right, Very dim and with no distinct pattern of blinks. As i watched The brilliant light it appeared motionless and stationa! ry in the sky i wanted to say it was a star but it was much to bright and large to be a star, especially scene all the stars around were a great deal smaller and duller. As i sat with my car engine off at the stop sign and my head lights on after several minutes of nothing but a stationary white light i witnessed the light slowly flicker out to nothing and be replace with the exact same red blinking light as seen before. It then made a 90 degree angle decent to my right. I exited my vehicle and listened. At first there was nothing then you could hear the silence replaced with the sound i can only describe as how a jet sounds flying over. Only it did not appear to blink in any pattern and the sound came only after the light had dimmed and turned to a moving red blinking object. I followed the craft towards canandaguia keeping it on my left hand side as i drove. i could distinctly see it out my drivers window. The light followed the same decent the two earlier lights that had! flown parallel to each other did. This entire event happened ! within a span of 7-10 minutes from when i saw the first brilliant light while driving out of Gorham, stopped and began following it again until the lights and objects were gone. I'm not lieing and i wish i had a video camera. this event scared the hell out of me and made me very uneasy. the light was brighter then any air craft Ive ever seen and i can only describe it to the intensity of the full moon on a clear night. I can not write it off as merely a plane or helicopter because the blinks were not in a pattern and the object was not following a strait line, it was stationary then moved rapidly almost as if it just turned and took off. Plains do not do the things i saw this light do. and before it moved there wasn't a sound at all. I've seen many strange lights and shooting stars but this was my first experience of this kind.

Duration: 5-8 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Rushville, IL, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

We saw a trianglar shaped craft in the back woods of western Illinois.

Saturday night my girlfriend and I went to a friends house to relax around their camp fire. During the evening I notice 4 falling stars within about an hours time, so when we left our friends house about 2am, we decided to drive out onto a country road and do some star gazing. The town we live in only has a population of 2500 and the nearest city is 60 miles away, so we don't need to go very far to get away from the lights, and since their was no moon, the place we stopped was completely dark. We were laying on the hood of my car and I noticed a light moving very slowly across the sky. At first I thought it was a satellite but then I saw a second light moving parrallel with it. I pointed at the lights and asked my girlfiend if she saw them and she said "What that triangle?" Thats when I saw the third light following behind forming a triangle. It looked like 3 stars moving about 5 miles per hour but they stayed exactly the same distance apart. We couldn't see the craft, but the stars couldn't been seen within the area of the lights, so it was more like watching a black triangular void with a star at each point slowly moving across the sky. The craft was completely silent and looked like it was about 100' above the trees. We watched the lights for about 10 minutes, until they were obstructed by the trees.

4 orange lights luminating in sky and disappearing

I reported a sighting of a fireball for 9/15/99, I'd like to correc it to 9/14/99 at 20:50. Due to my our sighting on 9/14/99, we told 2 of our friends about it. We decided to hang out and see what might happen the next night, 9/15/99. Around 20:45 we saw approx. 5 jets circling our area, this occured until 21:05. About 21:05 while we searched the northern night sky, it was clear, our friend noticed an orange light luminate and another orange light luminate. The first one disppeared and then the second disppeared. Of course, we were excited. Within 15 minutes we saw the same thing but with 4 orange lights. Within another 15 minutes we saw orange lights luminate and then disappear. We attempted to take pictures but won't know if they came out. None of us have ever seen anything like this before.

orange light moving across sky and stops and exlpodes into a fireball and disappears

My husband and I were in our bedroom having a conversation. While I was speaking to my husband, I noticed outside our window which would be north, I noticed an orange light moving across the sky. The orange light immediatly stopped and than it exploded into a fireball, a perfect circle. What caught my husband's attention was when the orange light exploded into the fireball, the fireball lite our room and my husband looked outside and also saw the fireball and it disappear. About 5 minutes after, we heard jets flying accross the sky. Which is unusual for our area at that time of night.

I WENT OUTSIDE TO CHECK ON A UFO SIGHTING THAT MY BROTHER HAD BEEN OBSERVING A FEW MILES AWAY. WITHIN 10 MINUTES I SAW TWO BRIGHT ORANGE LIGHTS SIDE BY SIDE AND TWO BRIGHT YELLOW LIGHTS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THEM THE CRAFT HOVERED WHAT SEEMED TO BE A COUPLE HUNDRED YARDS ABOVE THE GROUND WITHOUT NOISE AND WITHOUT ANY FLASHING LIGHTS. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS OF THE LIGHTS APPEARING, SOMETHING SHOT ACROSS THE SKY HORIZONTALLY. WHEN IT STOPPED, SOMETHING EMERGED FROM IT GOING PERPENDICULAR. THEN ONE MORE OBJECT SHOT ACROSS THE SKY FROM THAT LOCATION. SHORTLY AFTER THIS, THE ORIGINAL FOUR LIGHTS DISAPPEARED AND APPEARED AT A FARTHER DISTANCE WITH A CLUSTER OF AROUND FOUR OTHER ORANGE GLOWING OBJECTS, WHICH DISAPPEARED IN ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS.
