Light over Pekin, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Multiple lights spread out entire eastern sky toward New Albany. Planes approaching and departing Louisville flying right through the middle of them. Hovering and slowly moving back and forth horizontally. Three lined up vertically for a time. No sound, lights not blinking except occasionally. My iPhone camera cannot capture what I am seeing.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #151289). 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.

Man was out observing the sky and had turned around heading to the house when out of nowhere a large craft appeared at the south of his woods. He observed the craft which had very bright lights on the back of it and had forward lights on both sides, but they did not light up the ground or woods below, only areas on the craft, and then from right to left, red light back and forth. The lights were white with a tinged of yellow. The craft was heading south toward the knobs, and then blinked out and was gone. Witness pointed out that the lights were very bright and it made it hard to adjust his vision to see the rest of the craft. Later in the morning he estimated the length of the rear end of the craft of what he could see and it was in the neighborhood of 90 to 100 feet across.
