Revisiting the Tinley Park Lights

Named sourcesMarch 2, 2026 at 11:19 PMTinley Park, ILView on map

I analyzed NUFORC data on the three Tinley Park events and discovered two things I didn't expect: Witness descriptions were remarkably consistent across hundreds of independent reports. Also people reported the second event 22x faster than the first. The community had learned where to report, which supports that this was not a hoax. The story is here if you want to check it out.
