Swarm of UFOs spotted near Indiana Air Force base where 20 MILE-long ‘mothership’ was detected weeks ago

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 sky.

Dozens of people in Kokomo, which is just 13 miles (21 kilometers) outside Grissom Joint Air Reserve Base, reported seeing floating flickering lights that disappeared into thin air.

“What is that,” shouted a local resident filming the lights. “I think they’re UFOs and I really don’t want to go to sleep tonight.”

The eerie sightings, most of which were reported on Oct. 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” at high speeds move.

However, the mysterious objects in Indiana were shared online, where experts have stepped in to identify the source.

Some suggested the lights were flares dropped by aircraft, possibly military aircraft, but one witness on October 8 shared Doppler weather radar evidence of a “huge rectangular” UFO with a “well-defined vapor shock wave.”

No explanation has been publicly given by US Air Force personnel for the UFOs that appeared the red-orange floating in the air or the white sphere zigzagging in a quick maneuver.

‘I don’t understand what those are’ Christina Sharp said in a TikTok as young children in the neighborhood marveled at the glowing red-orange lights.

One anonymous local resident filed a report with the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) on October 8 from what may have been a related event.

The person stated that a brief sweep of Doppler weather radar showed what appeared to be a large rectangular UFO speeding nearby, estimated to be about half the size of 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 track.”

“Based on the image size, the rectangle would be approximately 30 kilometers long,” the witness added.

“The compressed vapor trail appears to be more than 150 miles long.”

While it is unclear whether this bizarre radar return is related to the wave of strange lights in the sky the previous night, several seasoned UFO video analysts told DailyMail.com that Kokomo’s citizens most likely saw military flares.

“These look very clearly like military flares,” said Alejandro Rojas, an advisor to a technology start-up Enigma Labswhere he helps research witness submissions for the group’s growing database of UFO sightings.

“The tell-tale signs,” Rojas explained, “are the lights that line up and light up and disappear in succession.”

In addition to the Grissom base to the north, Rojas noted several other USAF bases around Kokomo that may have been responsible for the late evening light show.

“Kokomo is about 50 miles 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 can come from either location.’

Rojas, who for years was the official spokesperson for the civilian-run Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), said he has personally seen and captured on video what terrifying military flares can look like under the cover of darkness.

“I live in the Phoenix, Arizona area and they often drop these flares during exercises on the Barry Goldwater Range,” he said. ‘Yes, they are often mistaken for UFOs and sometimes the media call me for comment.’

Rojas, co-founder of a new nonprofit researching “unidentified aerial phenomena” UAP Discovery, said the night sky can obscure more obvious signs of flares, such as smoke or the plane that dropped the flares.

“Witnesses have argued that smoke can be seen from flares, but that is generally not the case,” he told DailyMail.com.

“I made this video to show that smoke is often invisible,” he said. ‘My video looks like most videos claiming to be UFOs. I was about 150 miles away from the flares when I took this video.”

DailyMail.com has contacted the public affairs specialist at the Grissom base and will update this article if they respond.

The strange cases in Indiana come just weeks after reports surfaced of UFO waves near military sites, including 17 nights in December 2023 when swarms of UFOs were tracked over Joint Base Langley-Eustis.

These brazen penetrations over Langley — home to at least half of the Air Force’s F-22 Raptor stealth fighters — led to two weeks of emergency meetings at the White House.

So far, Langley’s mysterious UFOs have not been identified by the Pentagon, law enforcement, or even NASA’s high-altitude research aircraft, the WB-57F, which was called in to investigate.

Gen. Glen VanHerck, the commander of North American Aerospace Defense (NORAD), who led the mission to shoot down the infamous Chinese spy balloon in February 2023, described that Langley wave like no other known case.

“If there are unknown objects in North America,” General VanHerck told the Wall Street Journal, “get out there and identify them.”

Senior ex-Pentagon security official Chris Mellon told DailyMail.com last week that the UFOs were “swarms of smaller craft” released by “motherships.”

He explained that last December’s event was “part of a much larger pattern affecting countless national security installations.”

“Two of the notable aspects,” he said, “are the fact that our drone signal jamming devices have proven ineffective and that these craft make no effort to remain hidden.”

“In some cases,” Mellon pointed out, “it’s even clear that they want to be seen as challenging us.”
