NUFORC Sighting 57021

Occurred: 2007-06-09 23:00 Local
Reported: 2007-06-10 12:00 Pacific
Duration:
No of observers: 3

Location: Hartsburg, IL, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Two Nights in a row, I witnessed a triangle shaped object with red lights around it and green lights on the bottom. It hovered in the field for 5-10 min., about 500 feet off the ground, then it disappeared.

The next night it appeared again around the same time, hovering in the field in a different spot. Then it shot in the sky and stayed there for about 10 minutes. After that it was gone!

NUFORC Note:

We spoke with this witness via telephone. We cannot be certain, but our suspicion is that she may have been observing a celestial body, either a star or planet. We have invited her to contact a local astronomer, or seasoned sky watcher, to see if that person can identify the object she has observed. PD
