Cigar over Belleville, IN

The report, as filed

I had just left Greencastle, Indiana, when I had just entered the Hendricks County line. Approximately 3 minutes away from Belleville, Indiana, I was driving my car on U.S. Highway 40. I looked up to see a bright star in the right of my windshield, and to the right, I saw a red/green light. At first glance it looked like a radio tower, so I thought nothing of it. As I tried to focus in on the object (while also trying to maintain position on the road), I realized that there was no radio tower in that area, nor would a radio tower reach a couple hundred feet above the treeline. I began to slow down my car so I could focus in on the object more. Considering I was the only one on the road for a little ways, I slowed down to around 20 mph. When I looked into my upper left hand side, I saw what seemed to be a blackened cigar shaped craft, with pulsing chevron red & green lights. It looked like the lights were on a conveyor belt, basically rotating around the cra! ft. As I began to speed back up, the craft disappeared. I tried to rule out, though I am not denying the fact that it is a possibility that this craft was in fact a helicopter, plane, or other perfectly normal object. However, there were no "blinking" lights like a plan, nor would a plane hover in the same spot for a few minutes. A helicopter could hover, however I would have assumed I would have heard some bit of noise. Not here, it was silent.
