Occurred : 4/2/2011 17:30 (Entered as : 04/02/11 17:30) Reported: 7/4/2011 10:17:57 AM 10:17 Posted: 7/4/2011 Location: Lincolnshire, IL Shape: Triangle Duration: 3 seconds
Triangular symmetric object flying low in a straight line over North Shore Chicago suburbs. After parking in the driveway of a Private residence near Riverwoods Road, I noticed what appeared to be a small brown-beige triangular shaped object traveling approximately parallel to Riverwoods Road (from south to north). It appeared nearly overhead, was silent and its speed I would estimate to be approximately 50-60 MPH. The object had symmetry forming an approximate 25 degree angle from its apex toward the aft part of the object. The object had bilateral surface detail suggesting nacelles in a fuselage. They were very definitive. The object did not appear to be very large, being about the size of a larger radio controlled aircraft. It flew in a straight line and constant speed for the brief time I had it in view. I lost it as it passed over the treeline to the north, this being a heavily wooded suburb of Chicago. I would estimate the altitude at less than 500 feet AGL.
