National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 10/30/2005 13:00 (Entered as : 10/30/05 13:00) Reported: 11/4/2005 5:57:04 PM 17:57 Posted: 11/8/2005 Location: Indianapolis, IN Shape: Cylinder Duration: 3 min Characteristics: There were aircraft in the vicinity or aircraft chasing the object
I noticed two airplanes following pretty close to one another in a straight line heading south/southeast at around 1:00pm on October 30th during a bright sunny day. Both planes were leaving smoke trails through the sky as they moved. I grabbed a pair of binoculars to get a closer view since I never see two planes traveling so close together. As I was veiwing the planes I noticed this object moving perpindicular in a downward motion away from the planes. At first I thought maybe they dropped something or that maybe I'm seeing a satelite moving in space? The object was a silver cylinder with a bright flourescent blue round top. It reminded me of a wand or staff. It was kind of moving back a forth as it appeared to move down away from the planes. I've never seen anything like it before. I'm thinking it may of been a satellite, but it was to big in comparison to the planes I think to be a satelite, plus I don't know if I would be able to see a satelite that well being that they are higher up outside the atmosphere. It was definately weird..!! Possibly a UFO?
