Orange Lights Over Elgin Northwest Of Chicago Illinois

Date: November 9, 2010
Time: Evening.

Hello, we live in Elgin near the South Elgin border. My husband and I were just in our driveway and saw the same thing as described at this link.

http://unitedstatesufo.blogspot.com/2010/08/orange-lights-over-longcommon-parkway.html

We only saw two though. It was low, not high like a plane but it's very cloudy out right now and it was lower than the clouds. We could see it clearly. It went straight over the house and faded out not too long after we followed it into the yard.

We waited a few minutes and didn't see another one. That's when I came in and jumped online. They traveled fast and in a straight path...not with the wind. It did look like some type of flare but strange that you would see it also almost a month ago.

Will keep watching the sky.

Meteor Sighting Over Chicago Illinois

Date: November 9, 2010
Time: Late afternoon.

Hello, 11/9/10, I just read about this sighting this morning, because I saw something yesterday late afternoon that made me want to research and see if anyone saw it yesterday as well. I saw something in the sky similar to what the person saw in the story below.

I was on the Blue Line train heading north on the way back from work and noticed a bright long white streak in the sky out the window. It was west, northwest in the sky. At first I thought it could be a thin cloud, but the sky was clear yesterday and I noticed there wasn't any other cloud in the sky like that. Since the train was also moving I couldn't tell how fast or if this object was moving as well.

I just thought it was weird because it was the only thing in the air, it was not a plane, and I also saw those east and can easily identify the planes, but could not identify this. Perhaps it was a meteor or comet? Not sure, but I think one can only see those clearly with a telescope, and I was looking with my naked eye.

I figured it wouldn't hurt to email and let you know that my sighting was similar to the sighting below. It was strange.

Bluish Green Object Over Chicago Illinois

Date: November 7, 2010

Time: Evening.

I saw this too. I was facing north in the Logan Square neighborhood in Chicago (on my balcony). The light appeared to pulse like a dying flare as it either traveled north or fell (couldn't tell from my vantage). It was a bluish-green color as described. It only flashed long enough for me to say "what was that?" before it was gone. My wife didn't see it, as she was facing me.

Just wanted to add my thought. Thanks.

Three Orange Lights Over Chicago Illinois

Date: October 15, 2010

Time: 10:00 p.m.

Three independent orange lights rose up over Lake Michigan at about Fullerton Ave, straight from the horizon. No flashing lights, just an intensely bright orange light on each of the three objects. I thought they might be military helicopters and were going to fly right over me, but they kept rising and rising into the sky.

One broke off from the others and eventually disappeared into the sky directly above me. It was a clear night, but it went so high I couldn't see it anymore. The other two stayed at a lower altitude for awhile, and then similarly disappeared into the black. No sound, slow movement. Any other sightings of this? I'm baffled about what I may have seen.

Feel free to contact me.

From Chicago's west side Sunday morning at about 6:00am - 7:00am a strange black object was witness floating high above the Chicago skyline. This object did not move at all for the duration of the hour, which confirmed this was not a traffic helicopter or plane.

Reddish Orange Lights Over Chicago Illinois Over Michigan Lake Heading Towards North Michigan

Date: October 10, 2010

Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m.

This is very urgent. I was working tonight and at about 11:00pm my co-workers and I saw 4 lights cruising at the same speed in the east southeast position traveling northeast. It seemed as if there were two sets and the two lights were connected vertically.

I wish I could draw a picture as it was disturbing because the horizontal lights were completely aligned with each other moving at the same speed and giving off a fire-like glow. Reddish-orange.

Please respond immediately because it was crazy and it just happened. Thank you.

Strange Silver Light Moving Vertically Over Chicago Illinois

Date: October 7, 2010

Time: Approx: 6:40 a.m.

Hi Brian, I know what I saw yesterday morning, however I cannot claim that it was "aliens", but I did see something strange in the sky that I had never seen before. It was around 6:40am in Chicago, IL on the southeast side. I was driving down 95th ST. headed east towards Stoney Island Ave. The sun was starting to come up, but it was over to the left quite a way about a few blocks worth.

But straight ahead I saw a sliver of light in a vertical fashion that was moving. I knew it was not the sun because it was coming up and the moon is not shaped like that and wouldn't normally be seen at that time of day and that low in the sky. A friend of mine had mentioned something about an alien sighting in China to me just the morning prior on Thursday. I told her she was crazy and laughed it off.

Then I get up yesterday morning and saw this strange light and I still didn't think anything of it until I came home yesterday evening and told my brother what I saw. The description and shape, was the same thing that they saw in China he said. I still have not seen the news or anyone's newspaper to see if anyone else saw what I did. All I know is that it was really strange!

Sincerely,

Confused in Chicago.

24 Reddish Orange Lights Over The Westside Of Chicago Illinois

Date: September 30, 2010

Time: Evening.

Hi there, I'm glad I came across this story. I saw the exact same thing last night and a multitude of others in my neighborhood. I was sitting on the porch when I first saw a group of 13 "gliding" silently headed south (I live on the Westside of Chicago). I then received calls from my sister who described the same thing and I told her that I was already looking at them.

She was scared senseless and my sister is a tough cookie. She's not into the UFO thing, but even she knew that those weren't the type of aircraft that we would normally see. There were about 24 altogether and they all had a reddish/orange glow that was constant and seemed to fly in formation.

After the initial 13 there were more that seemed to "appear" 1 after the other and continue in the same direction. I was too shocked to even consider recording it on my camera. This is the strangest stuff I've ever seen and I can't get those eerie images out of my head.

20 To 25 Orange And White Blinking Lights Over Western Skies Of Chicago Illinois

Date: September 30, 2010

Time: 8:15 to 8:35 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Western Skies of Chicago Illinois.
Number of witnesses: 5 to 10
Number of Objects: Approx: 20 - 25
Shape of Objects: Could not make out-only saw blinking lights.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Orange-colored and white blinking lights in sporadic locations throughout the Northern and Western skies seen by few people in neighborhood on clear night over West Side of Chicago. Some were stationary, some moved in clipped fashion from North to Southeast direction for about 15-20 minutes.

Also saw airplane lights passing right in front of one or two of them-about same level in sky. The lights blinked off and on, but no sounds were heard. People were taking phone-videos. A few children who saw lights were frightened. Called nearby Police station and they had no info on this event nor calls.

Officer asked if it could have been flares...no they weren't. Officer said if they were helicopters, they would have made noise, no noise. She said she would put info out there. Have been here for almost 30 years-never! saw anything like it before. Daughter and male friend had better view than I did. I was on my front port (Westward-facing and open). They were on street and taking phone video pictures as best they could. Doubt if they were helicopters or planes. Daughter not in house yet, can get better story from her later. I'd like to know what she saw from her angle.

3 Lights In Formation Over South Suburbs Of Chicago Illinois

Date: September 17, 2010
Time: Approx: 10:50 p.m.

Last night, I was driving home from picking up my son, and it was about 10:50pm. I was traveling west when I noticed 3 lights coming in our direction. I immediately thought it was 3 planes flying in formation, until they were straight overhead. I pulled over to watch them. I find it interesting that Thursday night in Chicago you saw similar lights.

I am in the south suburbs and I just thought it was awesome! I love to watch the night sky with my kids and we have seen many satellites go across the sky, we watched the space station a few years back accompanied through the sky. I know what airplanes look like and of course, the best way to describe this would be 3 fireballs falling in formation, 2 in the back blurred out as it was overhead the "leading light" continued northeast toward Chicago.

We watched until it was not visible anymore in the horizon, the 2 "rear" lights never showed again. I'm wondering if this was burning debris from a meteor. The lights looked like rings of fire. I've been looking online today for someone to blog it. Well, it seems to be a pattern, so I'll be looking up tonight for it between 10:30 and 11:00.
