Bright Fiery Object Over Crown Point Indiana

 

Date:  October 22, 2011

Time:  Approx: 8:45 p.m.

 

Brian, I stumbled across your name while doing an internet search recently and hope you don't mind my taking a moment of your time. (My family members would think I'm crazy for e-mailing someone about this!)

 

I'm from Crown Point, IN, about 1/2 hr. S.E. of Chicago. This past weekend, my husband and I were outside (10/22/11 @ approx. 8:45 p.m. cst) and noticed in the sky a strange red "glowing" circular/oval object moving laterally from south to north (steadily).  

 

It was so amazing (and bright like a fiery ebb) that I initially thought it was some sort of balloon or lantern, (but more round in shape) and I ran back into the house to get our young daughter.  

 

My husband continued to watch it move and said it made absolutely no noise whatsoever. Also, it was about the same size as an aircraft, but it wasn't. We always think it's neat to see falling stars or satellites, etc., so this was really intriguing and perplexing! Usually my husband has an answer for everything, but for this—nothing.

 

Ironically, upon doing an internet search, several other witnesses from Indiana witnessed something similar on different dates (10/8/11 in Crown Point on the UFO's Northwest.com and 10/18 in Munster on the MUFON.com site).  I've never believed or been interested in UFO's before, but this was so fascinating.

 

Also, a friend of ours from the adjoining subdivision said she and her husband saw several strange glowing objects in the sky the night before when they went out to eat driving home) and she would never make anything up (a very practical-minded person).  Seems ironic to me, others must have seen what we saw. Unless blimps fly at night, I'm stumped and now curious!

 

Just wondered since you are from Indiana too and based on your background how to get more information about something like this!  (Witness thought Brian Vike was from Indiana, the person filing this report read someone else’s sighting report)

 

Thanks, Brian.

Bright Orange UFO Makes Wild Maneuvers Over Crown Point Indiana

Date: July 2, 2010

Time: Approx: 10:30 p.m.

Hi, my name is (name removed), and at the beginning of the month I was visiting my family in Crown Point, Indiana. On July 2nd around 10:30pm my self and a friend were sitting outside when we noticed a bright object in the sky, it was orange in color traveling from at first what appeared to be from east to west, (viewing south of it's movement) our initial thought was it was a plane since we often see planes travel this direction.

However the object stopped, made a few zig zag movements and approached our location from the north, it made a couple series of stopping and then resuming it's flight. It moved to a viewing location directly in front of us as we looked to the west, it then stopped for about 2 minutes, we heard nothing, no helicopter sounds, so jet engine noises and the sky was absent of any other air traffic.

As the object stayed at it's location, it began to glow very bright, orange in color and seemed to be in the shape of a diamond, and then it looked as if it raced out of the sky, not east to west, or north to south, just upwards at a speed that I've never seen.

I've been in the military and have seen plenty of F16's steep vertical take offs, but this made no noise and was gone in a flash. The entire event last about 10 minutes, feel kind of dumb that I didn't run inside to get a video of it or at least some pictures. I'll be honest, in 38 years of life, I've always thought stories like this were just made up and hoax's, but now have to say I believe that I have seen something truly unidentifiable.

I hope this information can be a use to you, and if possible I'd like to be kept up to date on other sightings. I don't look up at the night sky like I use to anymore. Thanks for having a place to put out information. Respectfully.
