Light over Winfield, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Slow moving object with flashing red/white lights (not red and green like planes, I know bc we live near the airport and see planes all of the time and this was different). The sound was a very deep almost like white noise/humming sound that also did not sound like a plane or helicopter and was most startling. I'm basing my judgment on the fact that we live near airports and also Central DuPage Hospital and see airplanes and helicopters very frequently. The object was at first seemingly still in the East and then moved right (South) and left (North). I'm sharing this bc my gut instinct was that this is different and didn't seem normal.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #156910). 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.
