The police laughed when a trucker called in a UFO report in southern Illinois the night of Jan. 5, 2000. Clearly heard on the 9-11 tape, someone, in between guffaws, declares the call has to be "a joke".
Before long, five police officers would no longer be laughing, but instead would become witnesses. They wound up with their own testimony in a UFO case that's become a standard-bearer for UFO enthusiasts.
The National Geographic Channel's UFOs: Seeing is Believing is promoting a video about the O'Fallon incident for tonight's show. The Clair County region has now become known as a hot spot for UFO sightings.
Shown above is a purported witness photo from O'Fallon, courtesy of Darryl Barker Productions. The UFO, with a row of three lights atop two lights, is in the right-hand side.
The investigator has produced his own film about the O'Fallon incident:
Darryl Barker is an independent film and video producer. His documentary program "The Edge of Reality: Illinois UFO, January 5, 2000" investigates, in-depth, the January 5, 2000, sighting of the massive triangular UFO seen over Illinois.
The webpage is a must-see for information and images relating to the O'Fallon sightings.
The National Geographic show airs at 8 p.m. EST.
