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.
If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

I researched that sighting, I am also from crown point indiana! And during that time period the conan blimp was flying around and was docked at gary airport the day before! At night it is a fiery orange red glow! Its awsome looking at night and unless you are within 50' of it at night it would look like a roundish glowing red / orange craft! Believe you me, i would love to see something unexplainable in my life, but i this case I think it was the TBS Conan Blimp
