SIGHTING: MACHESNEY PARK, ILLINOIS (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I was on my way home at 11:07 I turned into my subdivision and noticed an intensely glowing object heading in my direction. The object was glowing as if it were a burning amber with a slight tail. It appeared to be at least 1500 feet in altitude heading east. This was like nothing I have ever seen. It seemed to be traveling at about 50 miles per hour, steady heading and altitude. I stopped my vehicle so that I could get a better look. I was actually hesitant to do so as I was afraid it might see me and come down. I rolled down my window and used my cell phone to get a video of the object. As it passed over it was absolutely silent. I had to back up my vehicle to keep it in sight and I even tried to zoom in on the object until it went out of sight. It headed east made a slight turn toward the south and then disappeared. At this point my intensions were to get home as fast as I could.When I got home I looked at the video but the object appeared to be white not a glowing amber and without the tail. Still unsure what it was. Think I'll stay in the rest of the night.By the way, the video is still on my phone. Tried downloading it to my computer, every photo and video downloaded fine except this video. Weird."
