Location: Mt. Vernon, IN, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

The object appeared to have 3 reddish/reddish-orange lights in a triangular pattern.

The lady and her husband went outside approximately between 9:15 and 9:20 to set off a few fireworks and watch neighborhood fireworks. At approximately 9:30 they noticed an object traveling from the east to the west then southwest. The object appeared to have 3 reddish/reddish orange lights in a triangular pattern. It made no sound. They observed it for approximately 5 minutes. It seemed to be really high but really big and followed a straight line and did not waiver. Her husband estimated that when it suddenly disappeared it must have been over Illinois or maybe even Missouri. The object did not disappear behind trees, it disappeared from the sky like turning out a light. Several planes flew over in the next 15-20 minutes going different directions and altitudes. All observed to have blinking lights and you could hear the engine on these planes. (MUFON 57635)
