NUFORC Sighting 138737

Occurred: 2018-01-30 21:00 Local
Reported: 2018-01-31 09:20 Pacific
Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Lafayette, IN, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Initially observed lighted mass upon leaving south side Urgent Care and it appeared to be above or close to grocery plaza on 231.

When we approached Alcoa on Teal we both thought there was a small plane above the factory with various lights both flashing and non but as we got closer realized it was not a small plane and it wasn't really moving. It appeared to be hovering and although it was dark and almost 9:30 pm, we could make out a triangular shape. The size appeared to be that of a small car in length. 5-6 ft maybe?

As we turned left onto US 52 it was no longer in sight.
