We seem to be entering a world where the strange is becoming the new normal. That includes a new unexplained sighting by 3 in Illinois of what appeared to be a strange triangle light over a small town football field.

When it comes to strange sky sights, the National UFO Reporting Center is one of the most reputable places where odd encounters are shared. The newest UAP report from Illinois comes from the small town of Johnston City. It comes from 3 individuals who say that at approximately 9:10pm on the night of June 15, 2025 they saw something extraordinary over the high school football field there.

The 3 say they were in the high school parking lot when at 9:10pm they saw something they could not explain. Here is a snippet of their exact eyewitness testimony:

"All of the sudden we saw this bright light in the sky, appearing to descend down. We were finally able to get a closer look, it was an object that was triangle shaped and had a glowing neon green light around the bottom."

They claim that it zoomed off in front of their eyes and that they were stunned. There are really only two possibilities here. Either these 3 are pranking everyone by trying to come up with a convincing UFO story or they saw something otherworldly. There is no other reasonable explanation. It's completely believable that 3 high school friends would be hanging out in that parking lot. I did that plenty when I was younger. Validating what they saw is impossible without photos or video. The truth remains up there somewhere.
