Three members of the Roach family recount a UFO
sighting that occurred in Arcola, Indiana (located just to the west of Fort
Wayne), in June or July 1965, at around 9:00 p.m.
The discussion about when the UFO incident occurred
can be found at 10:30.
The cylindrical shaped, extremely large UFO (larger
than an airliner) had windows that were illuminated from the inside, a very
bright white headlight on the bottom and bright red and green lights on top.
All the lights were steady. The unknown object manoeuvred in the same general
area for a long time.
The family and at least one of their neighbours called
the authorities (the airport and sheriff) to find out if there was aircraft
activity in the area at the time. There was no aircraft activity in the area
during the time the UFO was sighted, according to the authorities.
NOTE: At least one of the other “Theater for Ideas” TV
discussion programmes was aired on WANE-TV (Fort Wayne, Indiana),
according to archive.org.
