Triangle over Greenfield, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
we seen about 15 to 20 craft setting in one spot at different times and place's with flashing lights white red and green in a triangle formation blinking fairly fast then at different times they would fly across the sky silent as they appeared to be floating and then one of them begin to fly east at a very high speed faster then any thing we have with a very bright beam of light shinning out in front of the craft lighting up the sky for miles in front of it then the beam of light turned to a trail of smoke as the craft would disappear in the distance but the trailer of smoke staid around for a few hours after the craft was gone. we tried to take pictures with our phones but they wouldn't flash when the lights on the craft flashed on

Moving at level flight from the south east heading north west approx. 3-5 thousand feet. orange spheres traveling in twos very fast. started off very bright and slowly dimming. At first sighting I saw eight orbs. They headed north slowing to a stop. then fading out. Then another two, then another, and they kept coming in twos. In my binoculars I could see a light that seemed to slowly circling the orb. I'm an amature astronomer and familiar with aircrafts, I was not confused on what I saw. My wife used her camera phone but we have yet to download to computer.

It was a beautiful sunny day with low cloud cover. I was going home driving eastbound and I looked to the north east and saw bright lights on a sunny day facing westbound. It was the size of a football field at least. This object was hovering over a barn on 200 North in Greenfield . I then turned to the south and it went invisible in the sky, but I could still see a shadow behind it. After getting home, I went to a trail in town and by this time I was one mile south but directly across from where I saw it before. So, I looked I. The sky and it came back into view again. This time I saw white and then it looked like it. Hanged a shape cause then I saw what looked like dark glass windows or mercury but only vertical. It just faded into the sky, went invisible. I couldn’t believe what I saw. I haven’t told anyone but my family cause I don’t think anyone will believe me. I waited to see if social media would say anything. It’s only been one day but I know what I! saw! (MUFON CMS)

Right after midnight 3 people witnessed a huge clear triangular craft over a field near the golf course. Too low to be a plane. It had lights in each corner that rotated with what seemed like chrome in color. It went straight up extremely fast. No noise.
