UFOs Over Illinois: Anatomy of a Sighting (2006x39)

Data emisji: Kwi 22, 2006

The focus of this video is indeed "the anatomy of a sighting," the process by which investigators went about studying this case in the absence of any video or significant photographic evidence. A trucker first spotted the UFO just before 4 AM on January 5, 2000, and alerted the local police dispatcher. Then, as the object made its way south-southwest across the Illinois skies, police officers from the localities of the corresponding towns reported their own sightings of the object. We have the tape of these calls to the dispatcher. The final witness was a teacher traveling to work just before 7 AM. While witness testimony naturally differed slightly (the first and last witnesses saw a more box-like structure, whereas the policemen described the object as having the shape of an arrowhead), important correlations did exist in their individual descriptions.
