SUBJECT: ILLINOIS SIGHTING REPORT - MUFON FILE: UFO1296


# 890203 : Outside Belleville, IL. Event date, January 12, 1989, 10 p.m.
Two young men driving along a state highway noticed a light that eventually grew in intensity. A diamond-shaped base was determined, with
white lights at the corners, an intense red light centered underneath.
Stopping their car, they observed the vehicle as close as 100 feet during the
5 minute duration. No sound was detected. The object then moved slowly off and out of sight.

(Analysis: Though collateral contacts were not initiated due to the invest- igator's inexperience, the interview tape submitted underscores the witness' seemingly genuine puzzlement, awe and dismay that other occasional motorists did not stop to observe the scene.)
