Fireball over Indianapolis, IN

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

It was a bright bleeding orange aurora surrounding this object hovering 50 ft over my cousins vehicle. It act like if it wanted to land in front of us on a busy intersection , but the crazy part about that night is there were no cars nowhere to be found at the time which I find crazy. But shortly after hovering the object disappeared only to break into 3 other objects and start zipping the the sky doing out of this world maneuvering that I’ve never seen before ,at one point it completely stopped mid air for about 20 seconds then took off at an amazing speed i only see on movies I’m actually shaking writing this from the vivid memory of this I just want answers it’s really eating me alive because I feel as people will think I’m a crazed person when I in fact have actual footage I just don’t want to share it with anyone and risk my life being in danger is I have the video on my YouTube channel (HoosierdaddyTtv) fox59 news couldn’t explain what the craft was I just need answers I feel like I’m going insane … PLZ HELP

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.

On Sunday November 5th of 2023 at 2:45pm at 86th and Zionsville Rd in Indianapolis, I was looking up into the sky when I observed a circular whirlwind and about 40 or more unidentified chevron winged aircraft in the sky. The aircraft was very high up and was visible for about 5 minutes. I only caught 52 seconds of it in video and I took 1 snapshot picture. Most of the aircraft had disappeared or fallen out of my view by the time I made the video and took a photo.

The black orbs would space out and then come back together. While flying through the sky. I have never seen anything like this in my life!

I was looking at the sky and asked my roommate to come look at the bright light in the sky above my neighbors house. At first I thought it was a drone but it was too big. The moon was south of this, the object was east. I took a picture but it was moving, so we took 2 videos of it. It almost danced in the sky. I held my phone still and the object appeared to come closer and had a swirl shape and it would drop out of the camera and then come right back up. It was bright white and had a yellowish bottom edge. We watched this for approximately 15 minutes until it disappeared. We went to bed and I had forgotten about it until later that afternoon.

July 21 2023 3:30am, My dog was watching something so I looked out the door and saw this orb flying around darting back and forth then it flew up and was gone, July 22 3:36am dog was acting the same, instead of the risk of scaring it off again I watched this object on my surveillance camera from my phone sure enough it was back, I started taking pictures, you can not see through this object and when blown up you can see a slight glow around it.
