Occurred : 2/8/2013 22:45 (Entered as : 02/08/13 22:45) Reported: 2/9/2013 2:49:24 PM 14:49 Posted: 2/18/2013 Location: Chicago, IL Shape: Formation Duration: 2 minutes
Four very bright orange orbs were seen by my girlfriend and myself on Friday evening, as we were pulling out of a Jewel down town Chicago. The objects were so bright that my girl friend was frieghtened that a plane might be on fire. The objects contiued to dirft in a Western Direction though maintaing an organized seemingly intellegent configuration. Due to a recent snow fall and then warming, there were low level evaporation type cloud cover, making all other types of air traffic and star/moon features not visable at the time. The nature of the light was not like anything we have seen. I managed to get aprox two min of film of the objects, and due to the low level clouds there is some ability to judge realative distance and definition of the lights, but cell phone cameras due leave something to be desired in resolution. Let me know the best way of getting the footage to you. Thank you so much for the work that you do, and if I can be of anymore help.
