UFO Sightings In Illinois

If you've recently witnessed something strange flying through Illinois you're not alone because many people have spotted UFOs so far this year in our state.

What's The United States Government's Stance On UFOs?

For many years, the United States government's answer about anything UFO or alien related was deny, deny, and deny. Even though, citizens have been witnessing unexplained strange things for many years. Recently, our country's officials have had a change of heart and changed their stance on UFOs. They are still saying that aliens don't exist.

According to patch.com,

After decades of denying their existence, the Pentagon has acknowledged UFOs are real and may explain what you’ve seen in the skies over Illinois.

And although a task force reviewed hundreds of new reports of UFOs in 2022, there’s no evidence of alien life, officials said in a required report to Congress earlier this year.
