Triangle over Christopher, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I thought I saw fireworks in the distance, but orange fireball kept rising and moved toward me and across the sky, directly overhead from me, and my house and disappeared past the tree line. It appeared to be 1/8-1/4 mi overhead, silent, well-lit orange triangle moving 80-100 mph. I'm a 54 yr. old male. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. Hence, we are unable to confirm that the witness intended a date of September 26th, or whether he might have intended to enter September 27th. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #122361). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
