Formation over seneca, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving on route 6 to Seneca Illinois early in the morning, 2:34 AM, as I came around a turn I noticed the sky to my left was lit bright. I could immediately see bright lights flashing and rotating out in the corn field approx. .5 mile from the road. Instantly this terrified me. I could see the object, large in nature was rising above the tree line in the field. It was huge, about the size of a 2 story house. It appeared to be silent, but the lights were very bright.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175464). 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.
