Sightings and Dreams (taken from my notes):
Sighting (1). Somewhere between 1968 and summer 1969 I had what was possibly my first flying disk sighting. The disk was flying silently over the railroad tracks at the end of Warren Street in Lake Station (formerly East Gary), Indiana. It was approximately 200-300 feet away from me, which was a distance of about five medium-sized houses' away from where I was standing. As it flew over the tracks I immediately looked under this flying disk to see if it was on wheels on the tracks, but it wasn't. It was flying approximately five or six feet above the tracks, its flight was a sideways or slanting, rocking movement while at the same time rotating clockwise as it flew (like a reverse rotation of the normally counterclockwise rotation of earth, and very exaggerated and sped up), and the front (forward-flying) part of this disk was tilted down as it flew. The disk was shiny but kind of opaque white, reminding me of Plexiglas. It looked like two inverted coffee cup plates or coffee saucers together, and had orange and green, or possibly yellow, round lights on its bottom half (alternate orange, green [yellow?], orange, green [yellow?], orange, etc.) and spaced evenly around the circumference of that half. (My memory tells me the lights were orange and bright leaf-green, but my notes from around that time say orange and yellow); I'd estimate the disk's entire diameter at it widest point, the horizontal distance between its farthest, narrowest edges was approximately 15-18 ft., with top-to-bottom length vertical measurement of its center widest part approximately 5 ft., and I saw it make at least one, or possibly two, full clockwise revolutions as it continued to fly parallel with the tracks, heading east, within my fully unobstructed view.

Possible Sighting (2). Around 1970 I saw what was either a blimp-like craft, or the Goodyear Blimp. For approximately a few minutes it hovered over my friend's house, which was across the street from my house at the corner of Timberline Parkway in South Haven/Valparaiso, Indiana. I was riding my bicycle down the street when I felt like I was half-dreaming and half-awake all at once, so I stopped my bike and looked up in the sky ahead of me and over my friend's house, which was right in front of me. Directly over that house was hovering what I thought at the time was a Goodyear Blimp. It was white, and it had colorful symbols flashing across what I thought was its advertising board; the first of the symbols was two-thirds of an orange triangle, the second was a yellow [or possibly bright green] zigzag line[s], the third symbol was a group of blue [or slightly blue-green] wavy lines, and followed in order by numerous other symbols that I can't remember exactly what those looked like; all the symbols were evenly spaced apart from each other, and it looked like what could be described as a stock market-electronic banner kind of presentation because they were moving electronically across the aforementioned advertising board, each symbol appearing from the right and moving across this board to the left, and each new symbol appearing about one second after the previous one, from right to left. As I was watching these symbols, some of them reminded me of those such as on a Navajo blanket. Years later, I wondered what a Goodyear Blimp would be doing hovering over a house in a suburban neighborhood in northwest Indiana. But a family member says that my mother told her there was a Goodyear Blimp that flew over the neighborhood once, so perhaps that was what I saw.
Dream (3, 4, 5). My mother and I are in the corridor of our home. She sees lights in the sky, tells me she's scared, and starts to pack. She hands me a red suitcase, and the lights are coming closer. We decide to hide at my grandmother's house. We arrive at an A-frame home with triangular windows, and now we're on the second level of the home. A white, three-sided, small, triangular craft, perhaps large enough to fit just a few people, flies across the plains to the windows, until I can clearly see the emblem of a triangular U.S. flag to the left of its door (3). I have an old Instamatic camera, and start taking photographs from the time I first see the craft to the time it arrives to hover there in front of the window. Instantly, the house is then full of people all dressed normally, with the exception of one dark-haired man wearing a red uniform with a red cape, which reminded me of a more solid-colored Superman suit but without the giant letter S on the chest, or possibly more like the red suit that actor William Katt wore in the 1980s television show The Greatest American Hero) (4). I believe the red-suited man is facing west, as I can only see the left side of his face throughout the entire dream, and that the small triangular craft is arriving from the north. I'm thinking that no one will ever believe this, so I continue taking photos. A woman standing next to me smiles then takes my camera away from me, so I smile and take it back. She's dark-haired, and wearing a long, plain, dark-colored, 1930s-style cost with a small dark fur collar, and three large round dark buttons down the front (5). Suddenly I'm transformed to another room, and can see myself wearing her coat; this room is bathed in white light, and I'm standing in front of myself. This lasts only a moment, when I now find my mother, grandmother, and myself seated at what seems to be a table of a corner restaurant in a shopping mall. The people from my grandmother's home are there, along with the same red-uniformed man and dark-haired woman, she's now standing next to me. I'm not afraid, only cautiously accepting of these people.
I remember thinking that I didn't know if I wanted to be a part of it.

Dream. It's late evening. I'm alone, outside, the sky is black and starless. There are three lights in the sky, moving erratically back and forth. I'm looking to my right, and can see twelve flags from different countries hovering in place, also in the sky; they're arranged in three rows with four flags in each row. Each flag has the name of its country of origin printed directly beneath it - Finland, Denmark, etc. This is all I remember.
