Oval over Wauconda, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving south east on Rand Road, and saw an oval shaped object that was sitting vertically made of shiny metal. The object disappeared suddenly and then reappeared to the far right of me while I was driving, hovered there and then completely disappeared in thin air.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #173141). 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.
