Object over Indiana.

This is the first time I have been to your web site and decided to visit after listening to coast to coast last night. I decided to file this report after seeing other reports about an object that was sighted on April 8, 2004 near Rochester IN.

I am a truck driver and was traveling northbound on US 31 between Peru and Rochester IN when I noticed a series of amber lights approximately 100 ft above the ground traveling east at a slow rate of speed. At first I thought it may be a commercial or military aircraft because of my proximity to Grissom Air Base, however, as the object grew closer it looked as if the front was rounded or oval shaped. I slowed my truck and the object passed just behind me making no discernable noise. I began to speed up and I noticed the object had changed its direction, now moving towards the north northeast gaining altitude until it dissappeared in the clouds. When I got home a few hours later I told my wife what I saw and never thought anything more about it until this morning when I saw the other reports.
