Triangle over Johnston City, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Counted at least 9 triangle or V shaped objects, seemingly hovering then moving in formation slightly forward then backward or shifting side to side. Some would sporadically move extremely fast almost appearing as falling stars, then stopping abruptly.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #136412). 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.
