NUFORC Sighting 67215

Occurred: 2008-11-28 15:40 Local
Reported: 2008-11-28 16:34 Pacific
Duration: 5 - 10 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Skokie, IL, USA

Shape: Cylinder

Glowing silver cylinder seen in daylight.

This occurred on 11/28/2008, 15:40.

My son and I where outside playing catch in our front yard. We live near the O'Hare air corridor and routinely see many commercial aircraft.

As I caught a toss, I noticed bright, silver, glowing cylinder flying possibly 1000 feet in altitude. My son and I noted that the cylinder had no wings, no tail rudder and made no noise. I estimate that the cylinder may have been 100 plus feet in length.

There was no mistaking this object for a commercial aircraft.

The object just traveled in a straight line from North to South until it faded into a dot and disappeared into the horizon.

The sky was cloudless and it was very light out.
