Tis the season...... for U.F.O's - Latest report from Evansville

Well, it's been a few months, and you know what that means. NUFORC finally updated their reports. And Evansville is on it again. This one is from January. And it is a very short report:


National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 1/21/2009 18:15 (Entered as : 01/21/09 18:15)

Duration:4 seconds
A yellowish light shot through the sky like a meteor but arched and disappeared.


That's it. Not very detailed.
But here I would like to say that I myself have been frequently seeing this same type of activity here in Evansville. Anytime I go outside, whether it is to take the dog out or coming and going from the car, I almost always take a look at the skies. Over the past two months or so, I have been seeing what appears to be fairly large and bright white lights moving quickly through the sky. Most times I see it at early evening, just after sunset. There is almost constant air traffic around here. So I could not be more used to seeing airplanes and helicopters in the sky. I am quite familiar with how they look and act. These white "orbs" for lack of a better term, appear larger than a normal aircraft light. And they are constantly illuminated, never blinking or flashing. Also they seem to be moving quite quickly, seemingly faster than an airplane. But not super fast. They are usually lower on the horizon. For instance, one I saw recently just after I backed out of my driveway, and started heading west on my road. Each side of the road has many trees, and I saw it go from left to right between the break in the trees. See my included sketch. This is about all of the detail I can give. Has anyone else been seeing this activity or anything similar? Please comment and let us know.

Yet another Evansville UFO report from Nov '08

Here we have another sighting in Evansville that happened this past November. This report is taken from MUFON.

Case Number: 13716
Log Number: US-11142008-0014
Submitted Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2008 04:22:14 UTC
Event Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 05:00:00 UTC
Status: Completed
Disposition: Insufficient Data
City: Evansville
Region: Indiana
Country: US
Longitude: -87.55879974365234
Latitude: 37.98320007324219
Shape: Triangle
Distance: Unknown

Description:
I was driving home from work (North on 164-Headed for Interstate 64). It was around 11 o'clock at night. I look to the west and notice a very bright light in the distance, thinking it must be a plane getting ready to land at Evansville Regional airport. Still driving, I kept looking in that direction and the light was getting closer and closer. I then noticed that it was actually two lights. As the lights kept getting closer, I noticed it was a perfect triangle of three very bright white lights. I was trying to see if there was any blinking lights on the craft and there wasn't any, and then it kinda dawned on me that this craft was moving way too slow to be a normal airplane and it was headed right toward me. I stopped my car about 6 miles south of Interstate 64 to see if it was even moving at all. This flying triangle appeared to be about 1000 feet off the ground give or take, and it didn't seem to be moving any faster than a car driving down a highway. As this craft flew over head and turned south toward Evansville, I could see that the back of the craft was concave with three bright white lights as well and three smaller, dimmer red lights on the lower end of it......none of the lights were blinking. I kept watching the craft, amazed at how large it was flying at low altitude, and also how SLOW it was moving....watching it until it went behind the horizon. I obviously don't think this was an alien space craft...because I am a bigtime skeptic of all things paranormal.....especially UFO's....all UFO means is something in the air that a person doesn't recognize....nothing more, nothing less. However, I am fascinated by aviation and I would like to know if anyone else has seen these craft in this general area.

Another Evansville sighting - 11-18-08

NUFORC updated again recently. Maybe they heard my complaint. lol. But still, they post this report almost two months after it happened. I wish we could get the info a little quicker. None the less, here it is:

Occurred : 11/18/2008 17:25 (Entered as : 11/18/08 17:25)
Reported: 11/19/2008 5:51:40 AM 05:51

Location: Evansville, IN
Shape: Unknown
Duration:5 minutes

Two small craft with a sequence of red lights made an instantaeous 90 degree turn to follow a commercial aircraft.

A clearly identifiable commercial aircraft was flying to the north east over the campus of the University of Southern Indiana. Two smaller craft of unidentifable shape but blinking with red and white lights were heading towards the north west. They were flying in formation - one was closely following the other. Initially, I presumed they were military jets, but I could only hear the noise of one aircraft engine. When they reached the spot where they bisected the flight path of the commercial aircraft, both smaller craft immediately turned at a 90-degree angle and began following the commercial jet. These smaller craft did not bank, as airplanes would do - they simply changed directions in an instant. Once they changed direction, they also changed color. Instead of blinking red and white, they were blinking red only. Further, the location of the lights changed as well. Instead of appearing to be on either side of the craft, a series of red lights blinked in sequence as if along the side of a circular craft. At this point, two additional craft appeared; they were even smaller than the initial two and they blinked with only white lights. They flew near the initial group for a few seconds, then they flew off rapidly in two different directions (one to the southwest, the other to the northeast). The commercial aircraft and its companions were ultimately lost to sight, continuing to head southeast.
