Oval over Albion, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was approaching the intersection of 100 S and 50 W. when a woman turned in in front of me and pulled up next to the field where I could see her looking at something. I looked over to the field and noticed a large stationary craft at quite a distance north northwest of Albion IN. I went north to see if I could get a closer clearer image for a picture, but when I came through the trees it was gone (maximum of 2 minutes. The sky was clear blue with silver cast and I had 180 degree field of vision and there was no trace of it despite looking all across the sky over the next ten minutes. Size was difficult to tell based on distance but I know it was at least as big as 2 Goodyear blimps. Color was hard to tell but I could discern metallic silvery white with some red orange but that could have been sun reflecting off the top. The shape was like two ovals connected at the end creating 2 levels.

The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

Very obvious dark gray, best described as shipping container, gliding effortlessly across the pale blue evening sky. Flying around the height you would see a blimp fly. Couldn't hear any noise or see any lights. Just simply looked like a shipping container floating by. Witnessed by 3 people who all saw the exact same thing.
