NUFORC Sighting 32866

Occurred: 1952-06-13 07:30 Local
Reported: 2003-11-04 14:39 Pacific
Duration: 18-20 sec.
No of observers: 4

Location: Fortville (2-3 mi. N. of, State Road 13), IN, USA

Shape: Disk

3 saucer-shaped objects flying fast (with wobbling motion) from N. to S. at a medium-high altitude--no sound, no trails, only silence.

The morning is bright, sunny; the blue sky cloudless. One object is seen, then two others, further distant. Since I am facing west, they are initially spotted to my right (north) at about 140 degrees, and watched as they disappear to the left (south)at approximately 30 degrees. The elevation is some 35 degrees above the horizon. Requiring about 18 to 20 seconds to traverse the 110 degrees or so viewing field between the angles, and at an estimated altitude of at least 15,000 to 20,000 feet, their speed is great. There is no sound, no trails, no maneuvers--just straight, swift, purposeful flight.

The objects are round and flat (saucer shaped) and wobble as they fly--an action similar to that of a thrown tin-can lid. This wobbling behavior enables me to notice that the upper surface is a bright, whitish silver-blue--a color quite like that of burning magnesium--while the underside is dark gray or almost black. The closest craft looks to be about the size of a full moon, when seen directly overhead--the other two, being at a greater distance, appear much smaller.

NUFORC Note:

Date may be approximate, although the witness does not indicate that fact. The witness is well known to us, and we consider him to be an exceptionally credible source. PD
