Video taken near Kokomo, Indiana on October 7th has got many people scratching their heads as it appears as though a group of orb-shaped UFOs were flying in formation over Grissom Joint Air Reserve Base.
Multiple civilian witnesses have reported seeing the at least half a dozen glowing UFOs darting about in the dark sky that night.
“Alright, it’s October the 7th, 2024 and this is what we’re seeing over Kokomo, Indiana: crazy lights,” a person can be heard saying in a now viral TikTok video of the incident.

“I think those are UFOs and I really don’t feel comfortable going to sleep tonight,” another witness said in a TikTok video.
@metrouk The US Air Force has not yet provided an explanation for this sighting. People are claiming these ‘strange lights’ recorded near the small town of Kokomo, Indiana, could be UFOs. The area is just south of the Grissom Joint Air Reserve Base. Skeptics have pointed out that they may just be from military aircraft or flares from airplanes. #fy#fyp#ufo#ufosighting#uap#ufotiktok#aliens#extraterrestrial#mystery#sighting#viral#space#usmilitary#airforce#skeptic#usnews#us#indiana#unidentifiedflyingobjects#unexplained ♬ original sound – MetroUK
Some suggested that the glowing orbs (which are commonly seen near military bases and often go unexplained, even by NASA) were merely flares.
However, a public affairs representative for Grissom Joint Air Reserve Base told Daily Mail, “Grissom has KC-135 Stratotankers [a large, Boeing-made, aerial refueling tanker aircraft], and they don’t have flares.”
The 122nd Fighter Wing of Indiana’s Air National Guard did say they were conducting night-flying operations on Oct 7, 2024, near Kokomo, Indiana.

The UFOs spotted that night in Indiana possibly just being military flares doesn’t explain what happened the next day though.
The Daily Mail reports that the day after this sighting another one occurred nearby in Rochester, Indiana: “The person stated that a brief incursion on doppler weather radar showed what looked like a large rectangle UFO speeding nearby, estimated to be about half as big as Disney World.”
That witness said about the UFO sighting, “I’ve seen many easily explained radar anomalies over the years, but never a huge rectangle with a clearly defined vapor shock wave and trail.
“Judging by the image size, rectangle would be approximately 20 miles in length.
“Compressed vapor trail appears to be in excess of 150 miles long.”
