Unknown over La Porte, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was outside viewing the night sky when this set of Red and White flashing lights started cruising by. I watched it for approximately 1 minute. It was fairly close and low but there was no sound emitting from it. I also noticed that there were no Green lights on it. The Red lights were flashing slower than the white lights. The White lights resembled strobe lights but no Green lights? Because of the night, I could not see the craft itself.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111647). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

Good Evening All, Just around 21:17 pm four of my sons we outside in front of the house hanging out talking. My oldest, 26, noticed a very bright light in the sky, and out of curiosity, he asked, “Whay is that?”... they other theee boys. 19, 13, and 8, looked up in the sky to see what he was referring to. Then all of a sudden, the craft changed into a red glow. Moved swiftly at a 90 degree angel. Made a brief stop next to another shining light which we are guessing it was another craft, then shot straight up in the air. My sons started running into the house, my 8 and 13 year olds were screaming”, MOMMY THERE’S A UFO OUT THERE RIGHT NOW!!!! “ I ran down the stairs and out the door but it had already vanished into the sky. There were times before we heard strange noises outside in the late nights, and I also seen a huge white owl atop my post one morning when I was watching my son wait for the school bus to come and I yelled out to him to look at he looked up and seen the owl and started runnin! g back up the driveway. Then the owl kinda soared over to a rooftop across the road and he looked at us. I was in such disbelief, I was frozen and scared, I felt like it was not even real. I had not ever seen any bird that huge and he was Snow White with black eyes. At the same time, he truly was the most beautiful and the most elegant creature I had ever seen in my life. Thank You all for your ability and efforts to educate and discover. Have a wonderful night.

I was out bird watching for Cardinals and airplanes are a common occurrence including being nearby our local airport. Since no Cardinals have been coming around for a while and taking pictures of them are challenging at best, I looked up to see what kind of airplane was passing by. I noticed a plane going by and listening to the roar of its engine. I also noticed a very slow moving object that had to be 100 above treetop level. I had a very good look at this object which appeared to be oval shaped, white on the bottom and mid-tone to dark gray on the top. The object also appeared to "tilt" like a plane would as it turns but then the object tilted back to its original position. I immediately got my camera out which I always carry with me and took 2 pictures of this thing. I then switched over to video and took 1:10 video of it. At the end I tried zooming in and also tried getting on the other side of the tree to recapture the object but I was not fast enough. I reviewed the video later and found out it is out of focus after zooming in. The pictures I took are crisp and clear. In the video and pictures you can clearly see airplanes near the object but also not aware of it being near them.

Slow moving white object seen moving West to East. Object appeared to be orb shaped but not certain because of its height in the sky. Object was very high in the sky. I had to look closely to follow it. Object emitted no lights. Because of its height in the sky, I could hear no sounds if any.

While my son and I were watching fireworks in the area, looking out a window facing south, we saw a fireball that looked almost like an airplane on fire, slowly moving horizontally across the sky in an east to west direction, slowly descending, until it faded out of sight.
