Light over Auora, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
No cloud coverage present. 28 White ball shaped lights appearing to come from Orion's belt from right side star. Traveling to Big Dipper in line formation. When lights reached the Big Dipper, they seemed to disappear. Speed and distance between the lights seemed to give the impression that they were evacuating. Watched from driveway on East side of Aurora, IL.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #154926). 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.
