Other over Cuba, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I remember that day very clearly, it’s a day I won’t forget. My husband and I live out in the country and there are several Amish communities in our area. Also there’s a small town called Cuba about 7 minutes away from our house. It was on a cool night of April 2018, I had to be up early for work the next day so I took my four year old son to his dads house in Cuba. The sun had just set, it must have been 7:30-8p.m. On my way home from dropping my son off, I had just left Cuba. I was driving down the highway there are trees, fields, and Amish houses here and there. I get about a mile from my gravel road I need to turn on and I look up and there are two dark V shaped UFOs, similar to a boomerang, hovering over the Amish Bakery and their house. There were a bunch of white lights on the under sides of the UFOs. They weren’t moving at all, I didn’t hear any noises coming from them and they were both probably as wide as a small house. I can tell you that my mouth! was wide open the whole time. I couldn’t even think! I was just so amazed. There were two cars in front of me and I’m not sure if they saw them or not. I pull onto my gravel road I get my phone out and put my vehicle in reverse. I was going back to record them. They must have saw me turn around because they started to drift away. I wasn’t able to get any pictures. My husband was at work when I got home, I was home within minutes after the UFO sighting. I was home by myself and I was absolutely terrified that they would come find me because of what I saw. Thankfully they did not! I even texted a co-worker to let her know what I saw so that if I went missing she would know. (( Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)

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.
