Unknown over Granger, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
There was an orange flash of light from outside that lit up the window, the light was outside. I grabbed my IPad to see what time it was, it was 12:39 am. I got out of bed to look outside, I saw nothing, it's a clear night. My husband woke up from the noise of me uplifting one of the slats of the blinds to see if anything was happening outside. My husband got out of bed to look out the windows, he thought it might be someone with a flash lite. I don't think it was a flash lite because it was too bright, filled the window and lasted only a few seconds from the SW direction. What was strange is I didn't notice the sound of the crickets/cicadas, it was quiet, I can hear them now. The grandfather clock rang, it was 1:00 am.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #148940). 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.

My son and I were gazing the sky while suddenly plain sight a large circle that is glowing like a sunset sun just appeared in front of us and was heading north then it started climbing up and up, it was huge at 1st then it got smaller and smaller as it kept climbing in a steady speed. I wish I had my phone at 1st but when I grabbed it it was smaller and further up in the sky. Beautiful sighting overall.

My husband wanted to show me the strawberry moon tonight. We went outside the house but couldn't see the moon. My husband asked for my iPhone to upload the stars app to see where the moon was positioned. I was looking up and was distracted by light moving high up in the sky, too far up for it to be a plane and there were no blinking lights. I asked my husband to look and he said it was probably a satellite. We both waited to see it again as it passed through a small cloud, it didn't pass through as expected and we didn't see it again. We both looked at each other. We found the position of the moon, it was too low to see because of the trees. He also looked to see what satellites might have been in the area or planes using an iPhone app. There were no satellites or planes in our area at that time. Direction S to E.
