Oval over Country Club Hills, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My mother was driving from west to east on Central Avenue toward Cicero Avenue. It was Thursday, February 27, 2020, between 4pm and 4:30pm. After several grey and snowy days, this day was bright, blue and sunny. S he looked up and saw what she said was a bright, shiny, metallic vehicle that was in the shape of a clam shell, but without the clamshell ridges. There was no noise. There were no vapour trails. She was in disbelief and is a skeptic by nature. She did not know how high up it was, but said that if she used her finger and thumb, it was 3 inches across from her point of view. All she wants to know is if anyone else saw it. Thank you.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #153694). 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.
