NUFORC UFO Sighting 121892

Duration: 60 seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Bloomington, IL, USA

Shape: Formation

7 low flying, in formation aircraft seen over Bloomington, IL.

I was driving southbound on Towanda Ave, over the railroad bridge off of Ft. Jesse Rd. my son and I witnessed 7 black objects flying in formation about 1000 ft off the ground. They were flying from northwest to south east in a rapid manner.

At first, I thought they were Chinook helicopters as they routinely fly over head. However, being a 16 year vet of the Army, I've never seen Chinooks fly that fast and never in that close of formation.

Also, the profile seemed skinnier than that of a Chinook.

I heard no noise as is typical with Chinooks even at the distance, about a mile out, from my position. It could be drilling aviation unit, but I'm not certain that it was.
