TRIANGULAR UFOs SIGHTED
IN SOUTHERN INDIANA
     Numerous V-shaped or triangular UFOs were
sighted last week in southern Indiana around
Evansville (population 126,272).
     On Sunday, March 22, 1998, at 10 p.m.,
ufologist Lynn Taylor and his wife Linda were
driving home to Bloomington on Highway 37.  As
they neared Martinsville (population 11,677), about
25 miles (40 kilometers) south of Indianapolis,
the couple "got a glimpse of a giant, round, dimly-lit
object, perhaps 50 feet above a hill, off to our right,"
i.e. to the west.  Taylor reported, "This is only the
fourth time I have witnessed this type of object."
     On Monday, March 23, 1998, Cal Washburn, an
Indiana TV producer, spotted a UFO in the sky over
Spurgeon, Ind. (population 250), while traveling on
Highway Highway 61 about 19 miles (30 kilometers)
south of Petersburg.
     As he reached a hilltop, Washburn "could see
through (the branches of) a tree, some lights that were
'enormous.'"  He counted "four to six red-colored lights
that were in a 'perfect row.'"  He reported that "another
four or five lights went off and on intermittently...They
moved in a perfect formation.  It was as if they were
attached to something."
     On Friday evening, March 27, 1998, three residents of
Evansville called WTVW Channel 7 and reported seeing
"a light twice as bright as Venus."  Looking closer, they
spied a triangular UFO with "yellow, white and blue bright
lights...with a brilliant white light on the leading edge."
     In Princeton, Ind. (population 8,127), located on
Highway 64 about 27 miles (43 kilometers) north of
Evansville, residents reported "a large ring of UFOs seen
at the rear of the Toyota manufacturing plant" on the
outskirts of town.
     In Petersburg, Ind. (population 2,449), located on
Highway 57 about 14 miles (23 kilometers) north of
Princeton, people reported seeing "a large grey triangle
with five lights on one side."
     A "giant flying triangle" was also reported that
evening in Otwell, Ind. (population 500), located on
Highway 257 about eight miles (11 kilometers) southeast
of Petersburg.
     At 11:02 p.m., Jana Taylor, 14, daughter of Lynn and
Linda Taylor of Bloomington, was riding in a car with her
friend Karen and Karen's mother, Kate, on old Highway 37
just south of Dolan, Ind. when she spotted something
strange in the sky.
     Jana said she "spotted a triangle-shaped craft hovering
motionless, about 15 feet above the trees on a hillside off
to our right."
     "You could make out the shape because of light
pollution from (nearby) Bloomington," Jana reported,
"The object had a large, bright bluish-white light at each of
the three corners.  You know what it would look like if you
had a blue lens, then put a white lightbulb behind it that's
too bright, how the white will overpower the blue, but you
could still see some blue?"
     Jana pointed it out to Karen and her mother.  Kate
pulled onto a side road.  Here they saw more lights on
the craft, which Jana described as "four non-blinking red
lights that could be seen in the middle area."  The UFO
then "turned southwest towards Bloomington and dropped
behind the hills nearby."  (Many thanks to Lynn Taylor,
Steve Wilson Sr., Jerry Stevers of MUFON and Kenneth
Young of Tri-States Advocates for Scientific Knowledge,
T.A.S.K., for these reports.)
TWO UFO SIGHTINGS REPORTED
IN WESTERN KENTUCKY
     On Saturday evening, March 28, 1998, witnesses in
Hawesville, Kentucky (population 1,150), a town on the
south shore of the Ohio River 40 miles (64 kilometers)
east of Evansville, Indiana, reported sighting "a very bright
light in the eastern sky, moving slowly to the south."
     On Tuesday, March 31, 1998, Mortimer V. Sloane
spotted a "blinking red light on my farm coming from the
southwest.  I didn't see any structure, just the flashing
lights.  I have to tell you, this cannot be seen without
binoculars--there's something about the red.  It's hard
to pick out.  They stayed in view for two to five minutes.
They were about 45 degrees (above the horizon), maybe
a little higher.  There was no other glow except for the
blinking red light."
     He described the UFO as looking like this   *   in
the binoculars' field of view.
     The Sloane farm is near Wakefield, Kentucky, on
Highway 85 about 36 miles (58 kilometers) southeast
of Louisville.  (Email Interview)
TWO NEW SIGHTINGS ON
FLORIDA'S EAST COAST
     On Sunday, March 29, 1998, at 5:30 p.m., Kathy D.
woke up at her home in North Palm Beach, Florida
(population 11,343) on Route 1 about 70 miles
(112 kilometers) north of Miami.  "I rose early at 5:30
a.m. to get my cat, who was out on the patio, and
looked up in the east-southeast sky to see a light,
and I do mean a huge, bright white light.  It was about
one-third the size of a full moon.  Unbelievable!"
     "My first thought is that it was a UFO, but then I
tried to rationalize it.  I thought perhaps it was an
airplane headlight...it was so big and bright, heading
directly towards me.  It was approaching West Palm
Beach from the (Atlantic) ocean at about 3,000 to
5,000 feet.  But it didn't change course or move at all.
The clouds obscured it, and minutes later, it was gone."
     Thinking no more of it, Kathy went back to bed.
Later on Sunday, however, she received a phone call
from some friends living in Hobe Sound, Fla. (population
11,507) on Route 1 about 20 miles (32 kilometers)
north of North Palm Beach.  "And they had seen the
same thing--a large bright light in the sky which they
viewed for a half hour, from 5 a.m. to 5:30 a.m."
