Disc Shaped Lights Over Lake Bluff Illinois

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date: November 28, 2008

Time: 6:20 - 7:15 p.m.

Location of Sighting: My 2nd floor window facing west, my backyard, my car.

Number of witnesses: 2

Number of objects: 2

Shape of objects: Disc shaped lights, very bright and dense.

Full Description of event/sighting: This sighting began as I was looking out the window while on the phone. I noticed two lights, I got off the phone and immediately grabbed the binoculars.

The lights appeared to be disc shaped, not round or star-like, but it was impossible to be sure from the distance. At times it seemed they dimmed and then got brighter. I then went outside to get a better look.

The top light was dimmer than the bottom one. They were both significantly lower than any other stars in the sky. There is a lot of light pollution in the area so I could tell they were extremely bright.

The lights moved so slowly that they appeared stationary. I kept an eye on them for the next half an hour and they were starting to slowly make their way west. I got in my car with a friend and we watched them on our way out to the highway. It was at this point they finally moved out of site after roughly an hour of watching them.

I would also like to mention on ufostalker.com right now, half of the 20 most recent events are sightings of the exact same thing (including my report to mufon). The ones with pictures confirm that I and my friend, saw the same thing. Something was going on last night all across the United States.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

A Loud Boom Was Heard And Yellow Light Seen Over Elmwood Park Illinois

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  September 5, 2010

Time:  Approxamtlty 10:15 p.m.

We saw the same thing at 10:15p.m., except ours followed by a boom after the flame and radar lights.

Additional Information:

Hello, ok here's my story, I live in Elmwood Park Illinois and I was parking my car in the driveway as I just got home. 

I heard a boom and as I looked up in the sky with my girlfriend, I saw a flame -ish, yellowish light floating from south to north and then it vanished.

My girlfriend tried taking a photo of it with her camera phone, but not much came out. I am sending you the picture we tried to get. 

This was on the evening of September 5th around 10:15 pm, I'm a bit confused, also still hovering in the east are bright lights, but that might be a weather radar pattern or something. Sincerely.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

UFO Travels 50 Feet Off The Water At Shabbona Lake State Park Shabbona Illinois

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  August 8, 2011

Time:  11:30 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 1

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Black triangle at end.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was outside and seen what I thought was a Chinese fire kite thing. It didn't move at all for about 10 minutes and it was about 50 feet off water. It then started going slowly up.

At 100 feet I could see that it changed shape and had a red strobe on left and white on right. As it turned I could see it was all black, or dark color and turned into an arrow head shape.

There was no noise at all. It stayed about 100 feet above lake and headed north real slow and disappeared. I took 3 photos, but a crappy camera, so I guess I will wait and see. I'm a retired firefighter.

Past public safety LT for Melrose Park esda. I no what I saw, and it wasn't from this world.

Small Ball Of Fire Seen Over Southern Illinois

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  June 18, 2011

Time:  Approxamtlty 10:00 p.m.

Hey Brian, sorry for any grammar errors, typing on my phone.  Last night around ten while visiting at my parents lake house in Southern, Illinois.

I watched what seemed to be a small ball of fire or flame traveling what seemed to be about 25mph over the lake and over the tree line. 

I saw it for about a minute and a half. I had time to get my family from inside to see it as it was flying out of view. Thought it could be one of those candle balloon’s, but there was no wind to explain the constant northbound travel.  Anyway pretty strange.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Orange Morphing Light Over Norridge Illinois

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  25 years ago

Time:  Evening.

My name is (name removed), and I was previously a resident of Illinois. When I was between 7-8 years old, my family lived in an apartment complex in Norridge, Illinois called Catherine Courts. One evening, we were invited to the house of a family friend. My grandmother and I had left our apartment, and were outside, waiting for my mother and father to come down, so we could leave. 

I then noticed something strange, high in the sky. About 70 degrees above horizon, I saw what I would describe as an orange morphing light. Essentially, it looked a lot like a flame, and it would seem to change it's orientation, almost constantly. The object appeared to be no greater in dimension (in length or height) than the size of a penny, held out at arm's length.  

I drew my grandmother's attention (who was then about 50 years old), to the light. She was as perplexed as I was, at the sight, and at a lost to describe what we were looking at. I remember her then suggesting that it was maybe a space shuttle. We looked at if for about one minute, before we had to leave for the party. I have been unsatisfied with the 'space shuttle' explanation ever since. 

Out of curiosity, I decided that I would do an internet search, to find out if anyone that night (or any other night), in the area, had witnessed something similar.  To my surprise, I found the post regarding a recent sighting in Norridge (http://unitedstatesufo.blogspot.com/2010/07/ball-of-fire-orange-light-over-norridge.html).  The details are eerily similar to my sighting some 25 years ago.  I find this to be more than just coincidence.  I am compelled to file a detailed report for my sighting, on my next day off of work.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Orange Glowing Object Over Chicago Ridge Illinois

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  July 30, 2011

Time:  Between 12:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m.

Hello, I must say I am in shock at this. On Saturday July 30th, 2011 I was attending a bbq with about 15 of my friends in the Chicago Ridge, Illinois, between 12:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m. we saw the same exact thing as you are describing, an orange glow floated around slowly then kind of drifted a little and just completely disappeared.

I also am not into UFOs, so if someone could provide a legitimist answer to what it was, I'd gladly consider it. I just don't know what to think about this object we saw!

Orange Ball Of Light Not Far Off The Ground See At Fox Lake Illinois

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

About 30 years ago, I was riding in the passenger side of my then husband's mustang. We were cruising through the area and at that time, there were a lot of open fields, instead of houses and stores. Moving along the highway, I looked out my window and saw a orange ball of light, moving over the field, but it was about half a mile from the road.

It did not bounce as a tractor might, it wasn't at tractor level either. From my vantage point it looked like the size of a baseball and about ten to twelve feet off the ground. Now, put that into distance and it must have been larger than a basket ball and 40-70 feet off the ground.

It moved quickly across the field, parallel to us, but moving faster than we were. We were clipping along at about 80 miles per hour (my ex never drove anywhere slowly). It was further away, so it must have been traveling 10 to 30 miles per hour faster than we were.

I couldn't figure out what it was. I went to tap my hubby on the arm to have him look at it, but just as I reached, still not looking away from it, it suddenly stopped and shot straight up into the air. It went so quickly, and it faded to a dot and was gone, in a matter of seconds.

We were in the Fox Lake area, but I cannot tell you where exactly because it has been so many years ago.  I never told anyone. I saw another sight, with several orange balls of light, over Texas once. I wasn't the only one who saw it that time, because it was on the radio and it ended up in the paper and so forth. But, that one ball of light out by Fox Lake? Who would believe it?

Objects/Lights Had A Amber Rosy Glow Over Elgin Illinois

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  August 19, 2011

Time:  Around 9:00 – 10:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 2

Number of Objects: Could have been 9.

Shape of Objects: Circular and radiant.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: They had an amber rosy glow almost exactly like the picture of the one you have of the one on your sight about the 3 you saw on long common parkway. I'm freaked and really am afraid of being ridiculed about this especially if they are just stupid lanterns.

But when I saw them, they did not float upward into the sky light lanterns do, they were almost in a diamond like formation and did not move for the some odd minute I stared at them while driving on Duncan.

My silly wife did not stop, she just kept driving so did not get best view, but enough to freak me out because I have never seen such big lights radiating so low to the land and I especially never thought I'd be seeing that in Elgin.

Object Appeared To Be On Fire Seen Over Bolingbrook Illinois

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  May 6, 2011

Time:  12:30 a.m.

It is 12:30 a.m. and I was sitting in my house in Bolingbrook watching TV and I saw something out my window by the corner of my eye. I was curious as to what it was, so I stepped outside to try and get a better look.

It was not a plane because it had no flashing lights to indicate such. The only distinction was fire. I am not sure what I saw, but it passed by pretty quickly and went in a straight line.

I could see it flickering as if it were on fire. If you could help me shed any light on this please do. I am very curious.

Lights In A Triangular Formation Over Beecher Illinois

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  July 4, 2011

Time:  9:20 p.m.

Brian, there were 9 of us sitting and looking towards the sky last night at 9:20pm waiting for the Beecher, Illinois fireworks show to start when we all seen 3 lights appear in the sky in a perfect triangle shape. At first I thought they were hot air balloons because the lights looked like flames.

But they were staying for too long in that perfect triangle. Then after about 2 minutes they disappeared one by one.

Large Orange Fireball Over Fox Lake Illinois

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  June 4, 2011

Time:  Evening.

Hi, I just wanted to respond that I saw something last night, exactly the same as what you are describing on your web post. I was with 2 other people on my boat in Fox Lake, IL.  Out of nowhere a large orange fireball appeared, from what I can tell about 5000-6000 feet in the air. 

It was traveling northwest very slowly, at first we thought it was a meteor, until it stopped right in front of us.  It hovered for about 30 seconds right over the lake before changing directions and flying North East.  The ‘fire’ went out as it continued to travel northeast. 

About 1 minute later, it re-appeared way out in the distance, to me it looked like the Gurnee area. The whole thing lasted about 10 minutes, and the object was completely silent.  I am also a private pilot, and I fly over the Fox Lake area frequently, I have never seen anything like this and would love to know what it was. 

I took video of it from my camcorder, but it was so dark outside that it looks like a streetlight sitting there, no one would ever believe what we saw from my video, but we indeed saw it.  Very strange!

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Burning Orange Ball Of Light Over Batavia Illinois

Date:  May 21, 2011

Time:  10:20 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 3

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Round, with streak effect tail.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Very bright flame in the sky over Batavia, Illinois on a clear night. It looked like a burning orange ball of light that followed a straight line heading directly north from the south.

Seemed to be a bit higher than normal plane traffic, but for sure in our atmosphere. We followed it in the sky for about 4 minutes, it did nit change shape, size, or speed. No sound or lighting others than the glowing orange fire, with a slight tail.

From some angles a small shadow was cast and the object looked large. Skeptic here, but very interested in finding out more about this. Thanks.

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was out putting my flag away for the night and was looking up at the sky and saw this bright orange sphere, but it looked like it had flames.

I thought it might be a plane and got afraid for the people in the plane. The orange globe moved just a bit for about thirty seconds, seemed like more. Then it moved away from me and got dimmer and dimmer and then vanished. I am so curious what it was, a star that was dying? Any ideas? A UFO?

Bright Orange Object Over Lakeview Chicago Illinois

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  August 27, 2011

Time:  Evening.

Hi, I typed in bright orange UFO Chicago into Yahoo search to see if anyone saw what we saw last night and your article came up. I was wondering if anyone else has responded about seeing this light, or if you have learned what it was. 

I was with group of 10 people grilling last night (August 27th, 2011 interesting that it sounds like you saw it on the 24th) in Lakeview when we all saw a bright orange light moving about plane speed from north to south.  we only saw it as it traveled between some of the houses, but we saw it pretty clearly for about 10 second.

If you get any more info, please let me know. Thanks.

Bright Orange Light Over Chicago Illinois

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  July 4, 2011

Time:  9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 5

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Orb ?

Full Description of Event/Sighting: As me and my four friends were watching the fireworks show from our roof, one of my friends pointed out a strange orange light in the sky. As it got closer, it looked like a plane crashing to the ground, it was moving rather slowly.

As it was coming towards us, it suddenly stopped moving and hovered around for about a minute then it changed from the orange flame to a flash of red and green like a plane, but it started moving, I'd say 5 times faster that it was before, then it went in the opposite direction and flew out of sight.

We all tried to figure out what it could be, me and my friends were never real believers in UFO's, but we could not find an answer to this one. I did some research, and it seems that there are a lot of UFO sightings like this with the flaming object, I've read of seeing multiple UFOs. We kept looking, but we only saw that one from where we were at. Hope this helps you out.
