Within three minutes, one witness saw a bright flash in the northwest. Then a silvery/shimmering disc the size of a Boeing 707 was observed without sound. The object turned on its side and began to move up and down in all directions. Moved in maneuvers of eight and disappeared in the northwest. 

A picture was taken. Sometime the next day, three men in dark suits approached the witness and demanded a printout and a negative image of the object. The three men identified themselves as employees of Indianapolis Power and Light and said it was illegal to photograph power lines. The IPL was contacted but denied sending representatives to the witness.
