Circle over Middletown, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At 9:15 last night my husband took our dog out and looked. The previous nights activity made him look up. He called me to the porch to look. At first, all I saw was the north star. Then I saw what he was talking about. Just to the left was a little hello/orange light moving fast and stopping then changing direction. As we watched, having our son to come out to watch too, more and more appeared. It turned out to be a smaller version of the previous night.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #127728). 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.
