My personal UFO sighting and disclosure
Time of Sighting1968-69 2am-4am Kokomo, Indiana
Background info: Project Blue Book USAF Blue Book case #6507
Now at age 72, with all the talk of disclosure, my mind wandered to my personal UFO sighting when I was 12-13 yrs of age (1968-69) living in a small town in Indiana (a town similar in size to “Stranger Things” town and same temperament- a couple miles down from an SAC AF base). With the possible disclosures coming soon I am compelled to come clean with my personal disclosure, just in case something gets activated. I feel intutively something will happen but forces are competing pro and con on the release as I type this I just feel it!
My background is 25+ yrs in the IT field and the last 10-12 yrs in cybersecurity working for the largest Federal government agency. (I could tell you some strange/shadow borderline happenings alone - yes signed NDAs) It’s been a good beautiful life other than this damn nagging feeling to tell my own personal disclosure-regardless of who is listening.
However, all of this talk of Alien disclosures has got me churning mentally about my own legacy and life experiences. I am grounded in facts and reality. I’m the “show me type” most of my introverted life although I have relied on my strong sense of intuition to lead me, a contradiction of sorts. Either it is real or not and this time the potential disclosures seem so real to me!
I was 12-13 yrs of age around 1969-69 and the night of my sighting was a hot summer Indiana night, very hot like 80 at night, and we did not have air conditioning (lived in public housing), just the windows open. I remember it being a weekend and definitely after 1-2am. I did not really hear anything but a feeling came over me to look out my window (2nd fl) where I could see the street light and the basketball court about 20 or 30 yards away. It was a metallic oval shaped object about the size of a bus that was hovering right above the light and at first I thought it was a helicopter but I knew immediately it was not. I was frozen in fear but could not stop looking. It just seemed to be stationary over the street light clearly not an imaginary shape but real, in my mind at least. I then got down into the bed and called out to my brother “Bobby, Bobby” he never answered, all I heard was his damn snoring. The curiosity took over and I had to take another look and just like that it was gone! I never said anything to anyone (friends, brother) other than my wife in later years. Even at ages 12-13 I knew I would be called crazy, so it wasn’t until age 45 or so and married 20 plus years that I told my wife. She immediately believed me since she has been on the spiritual side of things as we both have. I guess I just wanted to get this off my chest at age 71 and wanted it documented somehow.
All my life I have had heightened intuition which has served me well in my work and personal life. It seems like after my sighting disclosure I started to develop a heightened sense of reality and awareness. It’s very hard to explain only that I always seemed a step ahead of things. I believe that aliens exist and we may have verification in my lifetime for the first time. Regardless of my political beliefs, the first president/politician to disclose (verifiable) that aliens exist will instantly become enshrined in human history regardless of anything else they do , a whole era of existence should open up.
Other physical manifestations I attribute to this incident:
Ongoing Déjà vu ( “already seen”) this happens frequently as if someone planned it, like when i go into the store or get gas the people seemed to be doing the same thing or situation. Hard to explain other than I know it when it happens.
One startling incident of jamais vu (“never seen”) after this event as a teenager I think maybe the same time period. I always thought it was a time portal experience but now think it was a delayed shock reaction. I got lost downtown due to it looking completely foreign and new never seen before, it felt endless, and I just walked my way out, lost track of time.
Continuous heightened intuition I have always felt I was operating at a step ahead of things and usually it rings true.
This is the first post of any social media that I have done in a good 10 yrs but I just wanted to let whoever reads this to know you’re not alone! It kinda goes back to if a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it- did it really happen?

Project Blue Book USAF Blue Book case #6507 Central Indiana UFO/UAP Orb Sightings (Oct 8-13:1959): Bunker Hill Air Force/Grissom Air Force (AF) Bases (SAC: Strategic Air Command - Wikipedia)
This is just a follow-up thoughts that were activated while writing my previous post
My personal UFO sighting and disclosure. I have been somewhat obsessed with the UFO lore of Bunker Hill AF base since I was a child and before, the base took up a lot of the ecosystem of Kokomo Ind where I grew up, almost like a college town atmosphere. It would have consumed Kokomo more if it had not been for all the factory jobs available. In my research I came across one particular incident of a metallic orb which sounds very similar to what I saw (see rendering) that “witching hour” when I was a teenager.
I only realized much later as an adult that one of the most famous UFO sightings occurred in the vicinity of Kokomo, where I had my UFO sighting. Again this orb shape oblong UFO seems to be a reoccurring sighting.
Based on a lot of UFO and Bunker Hill research I feel there is a connection and probably info to back it up, although they Project Blue Book records indicate that DOD records are included, it just seems strange when I search Bunker Hill there are multitude of records from 1956-1959 but then just stops. Maybe all intelligence records are not included or still classified. One item that seems to be true are the various sighting incidents in Kokomo In and also confirmed by base officials. The following is AI driven and other research tools that helped provide a deep-dive into the UFO lore and maybe give me some answers on a personal level.
Background INFO:
Bunkerhill Airforce/Grissom SAC base (Peru In)
Designed as a major Strategic Air Command installation during the expansion of U.S. nuclear forces after World War II.
Extremely fast but expensive and difficult to maintain.
Symbolized high-technology Cold War deterrence.
Likely types of weapons stored
Mark-series nuclear bombs (earlier Cold War)
At an early age we grew up being told this was not just any base, but the “Strategic Air Command (SAG) base, it was different. I knew well before high school there were nukes on base, all the grownups knew it without saying it and us kids would never mention it “ever”, not sure why, just didn’t. When I had my UFO (using this term since this is what it was called in Project Blue Book document) sighting, not UAP, I think there is a big difference but that’s just me. UFOs sounded more serious and mysterious, I guess, back then compared to now. So the thought did enter my mind in much later years whether Bunker Hill AF base had any role in my childhood bedside UFO sighting that night. Maybe it was an experimental plane, maybe it was attracted to the nukes at the base? Other UFO/UAP research seem to think there is more than a casual correlation. I always thought we didn’t know what the hell to do with Nukes and everything connected with them(Just look at Iran). Just maybe someone is watching over us waiting for the right time to intervene before we misalign the cosmos somehow (Hello AI - “Come on Down”)

I. TWO F-102 AIRCRAFT FROM LOCKBOURNE AFB, OHIO AND ONE F-89 FROM BHAFB WERE LAUNCHED. ONE F-102 AND ONE F-89 OBSERVED THE OBJECT FROM 40,000 FEET AND REPORTED THAT THEY BELIEVED IT TO BE A STAR.
J. N/A
K. INVESTIGATING OFFICER: OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE OFFICER, 305TH BOMBARDMENT WING (M) (SAC), LT HARRY A. KERSEY JR. BASED ON AN ANALYSIS OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTED IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE UFO WAS PROBABLY A STAR OR THE PLANET VENUS. THE OBSERVERS WHO SIGHTED THE LIGHT SOURCE ARE ALL IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT IT LOOKED LIKE A STAR. EXPERIENCED WEATHER MEN WHO WERE OBSERVERS ARE SURE THAT IT WAS A STAR WHICH THEY SIGHTED BEFORE ONLY MAGNIFIED BY AN ATMOSPHERIC CONDITION. THE PILOTS WHO OBSERVED THE OBJECT FROM 40,000 FEET CONCURRED THAT THEY BELIEVED IT TO BE A STAR. COMPUTATIONS SHOW THAT VENUS WAS ON A BEARING OF 102 DEGREES AT AN ANGLE OF 23 DEGREES AND 20 MINUTES AT 08/1040Z WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY THE SAME LOCATION AS THAT FOUND IN PARAGRAPH B2 ON WHICH THE OBSERVERS AGREE. THE BASE ISD DID NOT RECEIVE ANY CALLS ON THIS SIGHTING.
USAF Project Blue Book Case #6507 is a real listed “Unknown / Unidentified” case.
