Sighting Reports 2007
Attorney Recalls Sighting of Large Airborne Triangular Object.
Witness Sketch of Object and Path of Flight.
Tiskilwa is in Northwestern Illinois.
Date of Sighting: August 9, 2010
Time of Sighting: 9 PM CDT
Location of Sighting: Tiskilwa, Illinois (See Map)
Description: While standing outside facing south and looking up at the sky, I heard a loud roar over my right shoulder and turned to look. Out of nowhere, a triangle shaped object appeared at very close range and at the same time, the roar stopped. The object was completely silent and maintained an altitude of about 100 feet for the duration of the sighting. The sky was very dark, and airplanes with running lights on could be easily seen flying at high altitudes. There were no planes at low altitudes. The object’s shape was in a triangle. The object was solid, as it had an outline and blocked out the stars behind it. It was very dark, with each point of the triangle having a rather dim white light, and in the center was a blinking red light. These lights turned off for a period of perhaps one-half minute, just after I had moved my position to be directly under the object. The size of the object seemed to be about 25 to 30 feet long from the front point to the back, and the dimension across the back, as seen later, seemed to be somewhat shorter. It traveled very slowly (a human could have outrun it) on a level horizontal altitude toward the south-southwest, over pastures, a road and then a bean-field, for about one-half mile before I lost sight of it. As it passed over the bean-field, I noted that the back end of the triangle seemed to be less than 10 feet high, and completely, but dimly lit with white light. A few times, the land below and to its left glowed with a soft white diffused light. The sky above the illuminated land was also lighter than the sky above the object, but only up to the height of the object. My view was unobstructed during its path except for a few moments when 2 or 3 trees got in the way. Duration of sighting may have been about 3 to 4 minutes It was hard to tell, as I was rather stunned to see such a thing. I did not think it was an airplane, glider, helicopter or any other object I had ever seen before.
Note: The speed of movement described as "a human could outrun it" has been reported before for triangular objects. Also the red light in the center and white lights at the corners is a common trait. The roar and then silence is not characteristic of these objects. Given the reliability of the witness and the description, this is an intriguing case. The witness also reported a unusual sighting of multiple airborne lights 2 days after the above sighting. The two sightings were quite different and probably not related.
