Triangle over Pittsfield, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I’m an amateur photographer, and was noting how cool the hole in the sky looked. I started snapping pictures, when I saw 3 faint lights in the clouds, seeming to keep form for several minutes. I will include the original photo, and then the one I use filters to enhance to bring out the light. It was then, with the additional contrast, that I noticed the triangular form, as well. Freaky.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175708). 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.
