Bright light in sky in Terre Haute, IN just west of Hulman airport at approximately 2:15 a.m. 7/14/2012
My wife and I were heading east on U.S. 40 (Wabash Ave.) at approximately 2:15 a.m. in the morning and turned south (right turn) onto U.S. 46 (actually east for the road, but officially heading south). As soon we turned the corner, there was a very bright light, appeared to be just over the tree line in an area that is over a field and just west of Hulman Airport.
We were both asking one another the question, "What in the heck is that?"
It stayed perfectly still like it was sitting on a light post and then about the time we get to the intersection of U.S. 46 and U.S. 42 it takes off south. In my mind, I thought it was like a firework, it took off quickly, but was way too big for that.
Also my recollection was that after about 500 feet, I thought it went down, and I was actually waiting for something to explode, it did not. My wife said she saw it go several miles away turning into a small dot almost instantly.
We were both in awe at this point and kept driving toward where it was and when we got to that point, there was still a trail of smoke that was about the 500 feet (guessing), then it disappeared.
It was a very clear night.
