Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

Appeared over the same area as Tinley park lights but looked different, this looked bigger and was more the color of a star

We went out in back yard with dogs and my sister asked if I seen the red light? I saw the red orb come over the tree in my back yard, I said that is the ufo again, I have seen them before. This time there was just one and it was suddenly coming right up over us and we were both looking up at it. Then the light went out and I could see the actual craft hovering there and it looked just like a flying saucer out of the movies. We both watched it move east towards the High school and for another 20 sec. then it shot off. No noise no sounds, there was a low flying plane above it flying south. Yes it was a very surreal experience. hard to grasp what you are seeing. It is absolutely proof to me that something is out there checking on us but for what I do not know.

I was on my porch and noticed a bright white circle object in sky that was not moving. It was really low and big compared to the stars and this seemed weird. It looked like it had 2 or 3 white lights at bottom that flashed once in awhile. I had my mom come out and look and it still did not move and she thought the same thing as me that it could be a UFO I even FaceTime my brother and he could not believe how bright and low this object looked. I was looking at it for 15-20 minutes before clouds covered it and it was bright for a minute, then it was gone. It’s something I never seen before. I took pictures with my phone and today I seen some of my pictures look like ones taken from other people.

Driving to work, on 80th Avenue Southbound. At approximately 162nd St., I noticed a round white/silver object in the sky, and thought, "what is that"?. It wasn't moving as an airplane would; it didn't seem to be moving at all. It just hung there. I was driving, so I alternated between watching the road and looking up at it. I did this several times. The final time I looked up, it was gone.

2 red lights seen moving in perfect formation from east sky to west sky. Looked like helicopters in formation but moved very slow with out noise. Jets we seen flying above. Separation of lights was approximately 1500ft. Sparks-like material dropped from trailing light in Western sky then light went out. Second light stayed on for another minute then was turned off. Went back on for 30 seconds then disappeared. Was not a planet as those can be seen in picture. See similar reports from Tinley Park, IL, for August 21, 2004, and October 31, 2004. PD
