Light over Bloomingdale, IL

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I was walking outside to my car and noticed a large bright light in the sky to the East. I saw a dim light to the right of it at a good distance and a dim light to the left and up higher at a distance. It appeared to be an obtuse triangle perhaps. I thought it was an unusual star formation perhaps. The light to the right of the bright light grew brighter and larger. I continued to watch it for 20 seconds or so as it grew larger. When it reached the brightness and scale of the star to the left I thought it unusual. After about 15 seconds the two lights began to grow dim. After growing dim over about 15 seconds, all three of the lights were gone. I thought it could be a few aircraft, but being in the aviation field, the day, the time of year and the time of observation, I firmly believe it could not be any sort of aircraft going to O'Hare International Airport. Traffic going to O'Hare is very little on a Saturday at 7PM this time of year. It was unlike anything that I have ever personally seen.

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.
