Changing over Carol stream, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Bright orb shaped changing to saucer shape. Rapidly moving in all directions looks like it was collecting energy when it stopped it would burst little sparkles off of it and take off and change directions at blink of an eye when I first seen it it looked like a black hole behind it. At times it stood still I seen other little lights dropping down to it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #173305). 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.
