An Air Force base in Indiana has become the latest hotspot for mysterious UFOs after residents spotted swarms of fast-moving, glowing orbs in the skies.
Dozens of people in Kokomo, which sits just 13 miles south of Grissom Joint Air Reserve Base, reported seeing hovering flickering lights that vanished into thin air.
‘What is that,’ shouted one local who filmed the lights. ‘I think those are UFOs and I really don’t feel comfortable going to sleep tonight.’
The uncanny sightings, most reported on October 7, echo recent UFO waves near military sites, including Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia where officials reported seeing ‘flashing red, green, and white lights’ that were ‘moving at rapid speeds.’
The mysterious objects in Indiana, however, were shared by civilians online, where experts have weighed in to determine the source.
Some suggested the lights were flares dropped from planes, possibly military craft — but one witness shared doppler weather radar evidence of a ‘huge rectangle’ UFO with a ‘clearly defined vapor shock wave’ seen the morning after, October 8.
No explanation has been publicly provided by US Air Force personnel for the UFOs, which appeared as both reddish-orange orbs that hovered in the sky as well as one white orb that zig-zagged in a fast maneuver.
‘I don’t understand what those are,’ Christina Sharp said in a TikTok as young children nearby were heard marveling at the glowing reddish-orange lights.
One anonymous local submitted a report to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) on October 8 of what may have been a related event.
The person stated that a brief incursion on doppler weather radar showed what looked like a large rectangle UFO speeding nearby, estimated to be about half as big as Disney World.
‘I’ve seen many easily explained radar anomalies over the years,’ the witness said, ‘but never a huge rectangle with a clearly defined vapor shock wave and trail.’
‘Judging by the image size, rectangle would be approximately 20 miles in length,’ the witness added.
‘Compressed vapor trail appears to be in excess of 150-miles long.’
While it’s unclear if this bizarre radar return relates to the previous night’s wave of strange lights in the sky, several seasoned analysts of UFO videos told DailyMail.com that Kokomo’s citizens most likely saw military flares.
‘These look very clearly to be military flares,’ said Alejandro Rojas, an advisor to tech start-up Enigma Labs, where he helps investigate witness submissions to the group’s growing database of UFO sightings.
‘The tell-tale signs,’ Rojas explained, ‘are the lights being in a row and lighting up and disappearing in succession.’
In addition to the Grissom base to the north, Rojas noted several other USAF bases surrounding Kokomo that may have been responsible for the late night lightshow.
‘Kokomo is around 50 miles away from Camp Fort Wayne [Fort Wayne Air National Guard Base],’ he added.
‘Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton is also about 150 miles away. These could be from either location.’
Rojas, who served for many years as the official spokesperson for the citizen-led Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), said that he has personally witnessed and videotaped just how eerie military flares can look under the cover of darkness.
