Lights in the sky tonight! Sept 11

[moischmoe]

Did anyone else notice the weird lights in the sky tonight in the Noble County area around 9:40PM? They were east of Ligonier, just high enough to be seen above distant trees. They were kinda orange, and WAY too bright to be stars. I was driving in my truck and they appeared to me to be stationary, but could have possibly been moving very slowly- I couldn't tell because I was moving. At first there were three, and then there were six. I watched them for about two minutes and then they dimmed and disappeared. The dimming took about 5 seconds- too fast to be caused by them flying away from me. I wonder if they were helicopters and disappeared from view because they turned sideways to my vantage point.

Break out the tin foil! My wife and I saw something similar about 4 years back while we were driving northbound on SR 37 from Noblesville. The lights were in the sky for about 10-15 minutes and then suddenly disappeared. We read about similar reports but never anything major.

My guess is they are flares. Not sure if there are any military bases up by you, but I've seen similar things near Atterbury. There are A-10's at Ft. Wayne, so perhaps one of them dumped some flares as it was coming back in after some work at Atterbury. They're having a big military excersize down there this week.

Of COURSE they were air dropped flares. Sounds like what THEY want us to believe....

If you look at Jupitor right now, the lights looked like that, but there were six of them, and Jupitor wasn't quite up yet at 9:40 pm.

*Ding! Ding!* I think we have a winner. The lights looked a lot like the candle balloons in the video.

Now, the REAL mystery is: Why were A-10's dropping candle balloons?

That is where you really need to make sure you have on a double thick tinfoil hat!!!
