Six witnesses watched the descending object for 15 minutes, which turned from a bright distant light in the Northwest to a pair of bright headlights, and then into a huge jet with external lighting, but no approaching sound. Outwardly, it was a small business jet or passenger plane, as one might hear at an airport, just 500 feet (or less) and no more than a hundred feet above the we highway. We later discovered that others had seen it, as well as later in the same month.

 At the regional airport There was no explanation for Evansville.

Summary:   Six witnesses (including yours truly) observed a descending object for 15 minutes that went from a bright distant light in the NW to a pair of bright headlights to what appeared to be a huge jet aircraft with external lights, but with NO sound approximating a small business jet or passenger aircraft as one would hear at an airport, and only 500 feet away (or less) and no more than a hundred feet over the W-E highway. We later found that others had seen it and also later on that month. Evansville‘s Dress-Regional Airport had no explanation.
