Formation over Lockport/Romeoville, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was doing food delievry late at night to Lockport,IL from Romeoville at a little after 2am and I saw a string of lights low in the sky about 12-14 all in a row very close together. I have seen the starlink satellites before and these were much brighter and low in the sky below the clouds. It almost looked like a straight line of lights with a very small space imbetween like a straight line of lights lower than an airplane would fly. When I turned at the intersection I tried to look back and I couldn't see them anymore.

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.
