© Examnier / File illustrationThe green fireball - which may be a natural phenomena - has been spotted all across the U.S.
"It scared both of us very bad, but was also exciting," the reporting witness stated. "Instead on stopping and turning at our road to our neighborhood, we decided to keep going down the road to see if we could see it again because it went behind the treeline."
The couple did not see the object again.
Lafayette is the county seat of Tippecanoe County, population 67,140. No images or videos were included with the MUFON report, which was filed on May 1, 2011. The event occurred on April 30, 2011. On the same date, we also covered: Green fireball reported over Jacksonville, Florida. The green fireball sighting has been seen in many parts of the U.S. over the past few years - and may be Mother Nature. We also personally watched one of these: UFO Examiner files a UFO report and Green fireball sighted again over Pennsylvania.
Lafayette was also the town named in a March 31, 2011, report: Indiana UFO 'jumps' from one cloud to another.
Indiana is a current UFO ALERT 5 rating, with a low number of UFO sightings nationally. Indiana had 11 UFO reports in April 2011 - while California had 46 sightings, the highest reporting state in the nation. Indiana is listed as a "Watch State" this month.

The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade.
