Circle over Grayslake, IL

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

The craft moved slowly eastward as it changed brightness every few seconds then an airliner appeared under it in the sky and it disappeared. Possibly a lone satellite not starlink I looked at it using 15 power binoculars [NUFORC annotation: Satellite - Possible]

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178971). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

Grayslake, IL

At approximately 9:06 last night 9/6/2015, our group of 9 people were looking west over our lake and saw a bright orange/red colored oval moving from south to north. There was no sound and moved in a straight deliberate line. No sound. We watched it until we could no longer see it in the north sky. It was not a lantern. In addition, we saw the same thing on the 4th of July but did not report it. Our group that night was 7 people.
