UFO Sighted in Indiana with Thermal Inversion

Summary

In September 1968, an observer in Kewanna, Indiana, reported seeing two objects in the sky for nearly 90 minutes. The first appeared as a reddish, bright star-like object, visible both to the naked eye and through binoculars. A second, similar object appeared later. The air base investigated and concluded it could have been a thermal inversion, an atmospheric phenomenon that reflects light from stars or planets. Arcturus, a bright star, was in the indicated direction at the start of the observation but had moved to a lower position by the end. The investigation found no physical evidence or confirmation of an unidentified object.
