Light over Chatham, IL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I arrived at home at 8:15 and looked north over the town of Chatham, Il and saw 8 lights flying low over the city. Not in formation but moving in the same general direction. I took 2 videos and 1 still picture. They appears very bright and orange. And they disappears one at a time as they made their way to the southwest. They did not zip away, but just kind of disappears after a few minutes. One at a time. I called my wife who was inside and had her come out and look. I did not hear any noise associated with them. No rotor noise or anything like that. We were both kind of dumbfounded.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178243). 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.
