Stationary orange lights in sky NE of Frankfort, Indiana on 2/25/07

Clear skies tonight. First saw three orange balls in lower sky NE of Frankfort, IN Two were small, one large. Approx. 25 degrees up from where I was standing. Bright at first then faded away after 5 - 8 seconds. About 6 - 8 minutes later saw four orange balls higher in the sky, all appeared separately and further apart and faded away seaparatley (within 1 - 2 seconds of each other). These were approx. 40 degrees up from my point of reference. Total lapse of time 6 - 8 seconds. None appeared to be moving...very stationary. About 5 minutes later saw one orange ball very high (approx. 75 degrees up and now more NW of Frankfort) in the sky, same fade in/fade out over 5 seconds. No sound. 5 minutes later saw two pair of jet aircraft (could hear them) flying in pairs criss cross the area of sky where I saw the orange balls. Jet aircraft had one white strobe light each. Then one prop aircraft flew low through the area with multiple lights. Returned to my car and drove home.

NUFORC Note:

We spoke with this witness, and he sounded exceptionally sober-minded and credible to us. Please see second report from Indiana for the same incident. We allow for the possibility that the objects may be part of a military operation, and we have encouraged the witnesses to investigate that possibility. PD
