SIGHTING: DEKALB, ILLINOIS (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I was outside sitting on the steps leading up to my apartment smoking a cigarette looking at the sky, which had been completely cover by clouds all night. up until this moment, i hadn't noticed a single star peek out of the clouds all night. to my left (west) were two very faint stars close to one another trying their best to peek out of the clouds, and to my right (east) i saw a very bring star, alone, almost looking at me. it was about 45 degrees up, out over another one of the apartment buildings. i first thought it was a plane becayse it was so bright and the clouds weren't letting pretty much any stars show, but it stayed in the same spot. but it almost seemed like it was moving, it was twinkling a lot. i started at it for several minutes trying to figure out if it was a plane or not. it was weird, you just know a star when you see one. i couldn't stop starring at this. it seemed like it was just hovering there, slight movements miles away making it seem like twinkling. i wasn't very alarmed, a little creeped out but not creeped out to do anything i guess. afterward i just went inside, i didn't watch it or anything like that. maybe i should have."
