hsur,
Best place to meet...from this link sounds like Kokomo. Sequence mentioned a church that is in viewing area of this phenomenon. But like anything else hard to cordinate a time. When I lieved in that area it allows seemed like the siting peaked in Mar/April then became fewer - I can't speek for last 3 years though.

Did anyone else notice that almost all the sightings on the maps in this thread were near major rivers? Or did I just mis-read the maps?

I am unable to u2u anyone. The forum said I don't have enough points yet for replying to members. Whatever that means. I have been watching for quite awhile and I know personnally it isn't planes, flares or anything normal. BlackProjects is correct about Mar, April being more active. last night I observed one coming from the east side of 31 parallel 26.heading west. As he approached my house, one appeared under him, I did not see him coming and he glided north, it look like he was parallel 31. The one over my house hovered for at least an hour before a friend and I went to observe the west side of my house. I am trying to pay more attention here because they are really active right now. I counted 4 at least. 2 were stationary, and 2 were drifting south to north. It looks like they are scanning Dixon road ( 200 west ) or 350 west. They were really low from my point of view. They look like deep amber balls with blue and green lights and ocassionally red. Through binoculars, they are pulsating and unsteady. One dropped about 4 inches visually then raised again, I believe they were about 1/2 to 3/4 mile away from me. They have been showing up about 9:00 p/m and stay for hours. There is a new business at 200 west and 26 that supplies lawn garden equipment I think. They might have parking and this is where the activity seem to be more pronounced. If you have hours to watch, you will get a show. They are planning to shut 26 west down soon for road repair,at 31 and 200 west. i think some local traffic can get through, not sure. This may help me to keep headlight glare down to take pictures or video when my brother brings me some equipment. Will keep updated

FWIW; Indiana is where the little boy in "Close Encounters of The Third Kind" is from. (Munce, IN)

ok, I have been lurking on this site for years and finally had to join and reply on this post. I live in Indiana around the Laffayette area. Last Friday morning I got up at 5:00 in the morning to get my husbands clothes out of the dryer and up to the bathroom for him while he was taking a shower.
The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is smoke a ciggarette. Since we do not smoke in the house (4 kids) I stepped out back to do this.
I just happened to be looking up in the sky and noticed two very very bright stars. I sat there and watched them for awhile and then one started moving up and down. Which I thought was strange, then the bright white light turned into 3 (one in the middle was on steady then the two on either side were blinking) and took off. I looked back to see what the other white light was doing and it was totally gone.
I do not know anything about aircraft, so for all I know it could have been a plane or something but, it did strike me as odd, like I said earlier I thought the lights were actually stars to begin with.

Stretchedthin,
Welcome to thread/ATS,

We need pictures! If they hover as described by Sequence for long periods it would be great to get a telescope on it- answer it once for all.
But need a camera/telescope setup for best evidence.

Anyone have these?

BP

Stretched,
Can you take picture thru telescope? That is really what we need. Whereas there appear to several different types of sitings, the ones we were discussing here are amber in color.
I am not photographer but am sure you would have to practice taking some photos of night sky first.
BP

Maybe between you/sequence some good photos will come out.
