Three objects with distinctive lighting patterns were observed over Franklin, Indiana by police and military personnel for over four hours, executing unusual maneuvers including barrel rolls, loops, and 90-degree turns at estimated speeds up to 10,000 mph.
“There were three objects, one larger and brighter than the two smaller objects. The larger of the three seemed to cast off a white yellowish light. Its pattern of flight seemed to be that of a circle. The two smaller ones seemed to be in a dog fight all their own, since they executed barrel rolls, loops and spins. They made turns of 90 degrees and 45 degrees without losing any degree of speed.”
