As reported

Unknown over South Chicago Heights, IL

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

My son and I were driving home from the store in my neighborhood one night and saw these bright lights in the sky to the east. They looked odd so I drove a few blocks to where I had a better, open view of them and got out of the car to capture the video. There were three objects/orbs with very bright lights, not appearing to be moving, and they were lined up in the sky. As we continued watching, a fourth appeared in front of the easternmost object/orb and over the course of several minutes they eventually formed a ‘V’ shape, before slowly moving off to the North one by and disappearing. They seemed to be rapidly changing colors, almost strobing different colors, and there was no sound. The entire video is 9:16 but I had to split the video and upload it in two videos. I edited out the sound for profanity, as I was very excited by this capture.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178577). 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.
