Case description

Two observers at Indianapolis, Indiana, reported an unusual aerial object on August 13, 1986. It was described as a saucer with a hamburger-like profile, moving at low altitude. The witnesses reported no accompanying sound. The object came from the north and travelled rapidly toward the south. Its movements reportedly included avoiding an airliner, making the presence of ordinary air traffic part of the sequence remembered by the observers. The digest supplies no dimensions or description of occupants. The same catalogue entry separately refers to a taking experience on September 30. It does not provide the later incident’s full sequence or explain how the participants connected the two dates.
