Circle over Hometown, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A friend and I were talking about shooting stars and different constellations. Upon looking up, I noticed something blocking out some of the stars in the area where I was watching. I seen a series of lights and thought to myself, It's a plane. However the light formation was like none I ever seen. I continued to look at this "plane". My eyes adjusted to this "plane" and realized it was a round object with a set of very dim red lights. It was not a plane. It was a UFO.

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.

The object looked like a ball of light in the sky. I first saw it on Cicero Ave it was floating south. I walked the dog and then I saw three lighted objects followed by four more and then 3 or 4 more behind them they came from the west (Oak Lawn) and flew over hometown, and they went east.
