Greensburg, IN

I was beginning to rest for the night after a sleepless day, when what I thought was just a star, started moving. I began gazing, and it begun to come closer, where I could make out a disc with 3 semi-circles on the edges. It frightened me, and I stumbled for my phone, yet, it was on my desk, and I was on the far end of my bed. I told my mother, which she ridiculed me, and there seems to he still eat another star in a similar position, which seems to change colors, and occasionally disappear from sight, tonight, May 2nd-3rd, I’m ready to capture it, if I see it, of course.

Greensburg, IN

Large red orb or sphere traveling East to West just below cloud line. The sphere was about the size of a large grapefruit at arm's length in the sky. The object was solid in color and had red protrusions from top and bottom like if you took a grapefruit and stuck a pickle through it. It was all one object and did not glow or flash. There was no distortion of the light. Although our first thought was that a plane was exploding, it soon became obvious that this was not a plane or helicopter. It seemed high in altitude and moved silently across the night sky, becoming smaller and smaller until it blinked out and disappeared. Our general impression was that it was UAP under intelligent control.
