NUFORC Sighting 46724

Occurred: 2005-09-30 23:00 Local
Reported: 2005-10-02 16:03 Pacific
Duration: 5-7 minutes
No of observers: 3

Location: Orland Park, IL, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Strang red lights appear in the sky.

I was outside in front of my house late Friday night, and I saw what looked like two red stars. I couldn't believe what I was seeing so I went into the house and got my boyfriend to verify what I was seeing.

He was also amazed and so we brought my sister outside to make sure we weren't just seeing things. We were all amazed by these red lights. It looked just like two red stars.

At first we thought they might be airplane lights but then we used reference points to see if they were moving and neither one of them moved. Also, airplane lights blink rythmically and these lights had absolutely no blinking pattern. They were fading in and out and almost twinkling at the same time.

Another thing that was very odd was that the color was not stark red; rather, it was an orangish-red. Then after about five to seven minutes they just vanished.

Two days later, an article appeard in the local newspaper saying that many people in the area witnessed this as well. -Very strange!
