An Indiana witness at Marion reported watching a silver, disc-shaped object hovering in place, according to testimony in Case 86057 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The event occurred at 4 p.m. on August 19, 2017.

The UFO report came through the local police department. The witness called 911 to report a silver, disc-shaped object hovering over the P.A.L. Club (Police Athletic League) located in the city limits, northeast, Marion. Two investigators were sent to the area.

Indiana MUFON State Director Jeremy Efroymson and Field Investigator Dan Gadberry closed this case as Information Only.

On August 19, then State Director Philip Leech and Gadberry checked the area. “The local police department was called by a male witness who advised he had witnessed a silver UFO hovering over the P.A.L. Club,” Efroymson and Gadberry stated in their report. “An officer was dispatched to the area. No witness was located. Officer cleared the scene with no report.

“Leech contacted the Marion Police Department and spoke with the dispatcher who took the call. She advised she thought the witness was credible during the 911 call, advising the male started the conversation stating he wasn't crazy or high.

“Upon arrival no one was in the area of the park area. Both investigators did speak to the neighbor to the east of the event location. Her and her husband had been on their back porch for an extended period of time. They did not see any UFO. They did see the officer in the area. They advised there was a silver S.U.V. parked at the north end of the ball field with two adults walking in the area."

An Indiana witness at Marion reported watching “a hovering light taking off at a fast pace,” according to testimony in Case 87903 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving westbound along 38th Street at 6:45 p.m. on November 8, 2017.

“After crossing the bridge, I saw a small light hovering above the National Cemetery area,” the witness stated. “It was dark out. Being the eve of Veterans Day, I figured it was someone just taking a picture of the lights on each of the headstones in the cemetery. As I got closer, I noticed it was not a helicopter and there was no sound in the area. About the time I made it to the train tracks, it took off at a fast pace heading north-northeast. Its take-off speed was between two-to-four times faster than I was driving. As it flew over, I could not make out any shapes or shadows, just the single, solid white light.”

The witness coasted to the side of the road and tried to see where it was going.

“I lost sight after it passed the tree line to the northeast. There was no second or third lights you normally would see on a small engine plane that are red and green. There was no sound. There were no other cars in the area while driving. Street lighting is to a bear minimal in that area ruling out light refraction. Though it was dark out, it could have not been more than 500 feet off the ground. (Maybe three to four tree lengths in the air.) The map included shows locations and paths. Red is the object in question. Purple is me traveling in car. The next drawing is of the light hovering just past the fence line above the stones.”

Indiana MUFON CAG Investigator Philip Leech and Field Investigator Dan Gadberry closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

An Ohio witness at Oak Harbor reported watching a UFO hovering over the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant , according to testimony in Case 87710 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving past the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant after visiting nearby family at 3:30 a.m. on October 29, 2017.

“I noticed something floating up and down above the reactor,” the witness stated. “I pulled off and got out of my car and it did this for maybe three to four minutes before it flew up about 50 feet and seemed to just slowly hover over the buildings. There were six lights, two at each corner, a white and blue light side-by-side in each corner. The blue light would brighten when the white light would dim and vice versa. It did this for a few minutes and then it just shot up and away at a 45-degree angle and was so fast it looked like a streak of blue light. I heard no noise except for this pulsing, vibrating sensation in my ears until it shot away. I never believed in extraterrestrial life until that night. Now I'm convinced of it. I was in such shock at what I was seeing I didn't think to try to take a photo. Of course, my two friends were passed out in the car after drinking all night and didn't see it or even realize we were stopped.”

Ohio MUFON Chief Investigator Ron McGlone closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

A Washington witness at Wenatchee reported watching a “large, silver craft hovering at 2,000 feet in front of Burch Mountain,” according to testimony in Case 85235 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving to pick up his wife northbound along Sunset Highway at 7:20 p.m. on July 20, 2017.

“As we all sat at the green light pointing at the stationary craft, it shot straight upwards and was gone in the blink of an eye,” the witness stated.
“This happened at around 7-ish tonight. It had the shape of one of the old camera film cartridges. No signs of thrust at all, just all sliver like a mirror. Anyone else see anything like this? Yesterday a Blackhawk with no tail numbers or markings at all flew so close over the Columbia River where we were that we made contact by waving at the pilot. Do all Blackhawks have no tail numbers and are all blacked out?”

Washington MUFON Field Investigators W. Wayne Walker and Maurene Morgan closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.
