Illinois Sky bright orange round object of light. Drone or UFO? Aprox 8:30 pm Wednesday evening I stepped out on the deck to grab some soda when I noticed a bright orange round object of light, moving slowly without any noise in the Northern sky. It's outer edges brighter and almost flame like than the center.
Traveling North to South it started to jump around in all directions as if trying to register coordinates of some sort. With a large burst like streak, it traveled at an extreme rate towards airline flight path and as it traveled closer to one of the planes the illumination from the object suddenly dimmed to nothing. The whole event lasted no longer than 2 min.

3 slanted white dots sitting there with no movement. My boyfriend who was driving, my friend in the back seat, and i in the passenger seat were driving out of our complex . We were waiting to turn onto the highway when i noticed something in the sky.
Looked like three slanted dots shaped in an oval formation. Tried taking a picture but we were already turning. Boyfriend tried saying it was a power line but it would have been blinking red lights and there has never been one there.
decided to just take a picture when we got back because maybe it was my imagination. once we got back it was gone. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Unlit Triangular Flying Object in Night Sky Approximately 18:15 (6:15pm) in Carpentersville IL, while walking my dog, I saw an unlit object fly very quickly across the night sky. It was not lit up. It was traveling across the sky from the North East direction to the South West direction.
I was able to keep my eye on it as it flew through the sky and faded into the distance. While the object was flying I compared it to other planes that were lit up in the sky. The planes were much higher and had blinking lights.
This object had none of that. The night was very cool, crisp and clear. The stars were very visible as well as several planets.
The area I was walking the dog is dimly lit with yellow ornamental street lights. I was approximately 100 ft. from the lights in a darker area so my night time vision was very clear.
The object appeared to be slate gray in color. There was only 1 object. I imagine I was the only one that saw it, although there was a steady stream of cars passing on the nearby road.
(100 ft.). The object appeared to be shaped like a scalene triangle.
No noise accompanied the sighting.
