Date: October 24, 1982 Lowell, Indiana
Witnesses: Michael Davis, the aircraft Pilot and his father (a student pilot)
Description of the object:
The UFO, Davis said, looked like two geodesic domes connected together with a nozzle by four tubes. It appeared to be about 7 feet in height, 6 feet across, with one dome 20 per cent larger than the other. The domes were silver-blue, encircled by a ring of geodesic panels made out of some glass-like substance, clear with an iridescent blue-grey sheen.
At one point two domes began to gyrate in a peculiar manner, best described as a twisting motion, like holding two tennis balls, one in each hand, and rotating one ball away from you, and the other in the opposite sense (while still touching them together), and then reversing the directions.
The encounter:
Pilot & student pilot in a single-engine Cherokee 140 just after reaching their cruising altitude of 2,300 ft (above ground level), on a 240° course encountered an object first thought to be a malfunctioning parachute.
At one point, the UAP flicked across their nose, veering to its left and missing the aircraft's right wing tip by no more than 10 feet. At the instant that it passed, the vortex hit them so hard that the plane’s airframe groaned in protest, and the altimeter "went wacky".
As they descended through the object’s original flight path, they encountered about 2 seconds of heavy turbulence. According to the pilot, it was like hitting the vortex of a large airliner.
After 3-4 minutes, the pilot was just about to give up the chase when, suddenly, despite the distance, the dome-spheres went into their peculiar rotation again. Almost instantly the object reversed course once again, picking up speed fast by this time, and giving them only enough time to realize that it had reversed course, where it was headed.
It continued to curve to the left, back on what appeared to be its original heading of 355°, still accelerating, and eventually beginning to climb until it finally disappeared into the distance haze. At no time during the encounter had the UFO shown any sort of exhaust trail.Â

The way the UAP is described is very unique and have never really heard of such a description before:

My theory is that the universe is inhabited by millions if not more of highly advanced extraterrestrial species civilizations and entities. Some of these will be biological like us others would be cyborgs who have merged their bodies with computers and AI, and others would be purely electromagnetic or particle physics energy that contains their consciousnesses and also can be projected to physically carry out tasks.
The last type of extraterrestrials would be the most powerful and most advanced, they would not need conventional craft to explore they would create vessels that would look like nothing we have ever seen because they would not need to carry occupants they would just be censor packages the transmit data back to the owners.
Any humans encountering such devices are craft would find them to be extremely strange looking because they were not designed by physical beings.
When the function got the two geodesic domes connected together with a nozzle by four tubes.
