Sighting Date: Fall, Early to Mid 1950's Anderson, Indiana

I was a young boy living in Anderson, Indiana when early evening about dusk , the people next door came over and said we have to come outside, that there was jet fighters chasing something around the sky.

When we went outside you could see two jets chasing a small white light back and fourth. We watched it for maybe a minute or two then the light stopped in place. It seemed to be letting one jet catch up!

As the jet came closer it opened fire on the object, with rockets, which was fairly new in the early 1950's, one rocket missed and exploded a little passed the object,than the second rocket struck the object with a spark like effect, the noise from the rockets jolted everyone! With in a second the object changed color from white to blue then to red, at that point it shot up and straight out of the sky.

My father wrote a letter to the army ,will I think the Army, on what we had seen. What he wrote I don't know, but a few days later an Air Force Officer came to the house. My mother was the only one home at the time and I was around the corner hiding from the front door and listened to the whole thing.

He loudly stated that we where "crackpots" must forget what we saw and if we didn't we would be sorry for it. He saw me standing there then pointed at me and said," Son, that goes for you too!" He then went to the homes of everyone who saw it on the block and repeated the same thing.
