Triangle over Hannah City, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Looking at stars on clear night and we noticed 3 lights that looked similar to stars in brightness and size. We then noticed the 3 lights moving in sync. As if they were connected and in triangular formation or object. Moving slowly and then each one slowly faded away in brightness and seemed to vanish. Can’t explain what it was. Bizarre. We both saw it and pointed it out to each other and within 10 seconds of talking about it and pointing it out, it was gone before I could get my phone camera out.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #157433). 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.
