Circle over chicago, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
i was taking an exit Jackson from highway on 90/94 and looked at the highway to see how bad is traffic on other side and apparently saw a circle object was moving on the sky (from east to west slowly approx 80-90mph or faster) downtown area. i stopped to see it because building blocked me and other cars behind me did not allow me to stay on the road much.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #151030). 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.
