Two crafts spotted at high altitude using O'Hare landing route as reference. One was a shaped as an S or the other uknown.
The event lasted approx 30 to 45
Initially thought it was a drone
Ruled out by altitude - using the O'Hare landing approach as a reference, these objects were no lower than 10,000 ft. My estimate during the moment was 50,000ft
Filmed 2 separate videos of each craft using 9x zoom on I Phone 14 Pro Max
Captured two separate photos using I Phone 14 Pro Max at 14x zoom
At first, objects appeared to be hovering and moving in a circular motion
Upon further observation, they were moving in a slowly from East to West
Inspired to report by a similar event captured on July 4th approx, 2 hours later in Bellevue, Washington, that appears to be the same type of objects from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/b5m61W58VB
As a singular event, it can be rationalized as some sort of debris, but the similarities to the second citing warrant further investigation.
