UFO Identified as Capella in Illinois

Summary

A couple reported a luminous object flashing red, green, and white lights for two hours. The Air Force identified it as the star Capella, located in the northeast. The witnesses initially thought it was an aircraft, but its slow, steady movement didn't match normal flight patterns.

The report details that the object gradually ascended and drifted eastward. Despite its intense brightness, no physical shapes or details could be discerned. The observers, intrigued by the phenomenon, found no conventional explanation until astronomers confirmed it matched Capella's position.
