Light over Highland Park, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The rest was flying at 300-400 KTS in a formation, all in red lights. Not in a particular order, however they proceeded in one direction. Objects did not have any strobe lights. I thought, maybe F-16 using after burners, but there wasn't jet engine noise at all.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #131205). 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.
