Pattern of orange/red round objects seen over Peoria, IL at about 11:00 PM on 11/17/12 On November 17, 2012, at approximately 2300 hrs, my wife and I exited our apartment in Peoria, IL to take our dog out for a short walk. Shortly after I stepped outside, I observed several (approximately 5 or 6) orange or red round objects in the sky to the north of our apartment. For purposes of orientation, I can say that the objects were visible north of the intersection of Allen Rd.

and Willow Knolls Rd. over that area’s car dealerships (Lexus, Toyota, Nissan). The objects were in some sort of pattern, possibly a diamond shape.

At first I thought the pattern looked like a fireworks display of some sort, but I heard no explosions. In fact, I did not hear any noise at all coming from the area. I pointed the objects out to my wife and she began trying to take photos and video with my cellular phone.

Unfortunately, upon review of the video, the objects were not visible. We also saw a male exit a vehicle up the road (unknown how many passengers we! re in the car) from our apartment to look at the objects, but we did not speak to each other. As we continued to observe the objects in the sky, we noticed that some of the objects would suddenly fade away.

However, we also saw new orange/red round objects rising up from the ground in the same area north of our apartment. While they were ascending, I noticed that the objects hovered in a manner that was somewhat similar to helicopters. But, I have never seen helicopters move quite like this and I can’t imagine why helicopters would be forming patterns in the sky at night.

The rising objects then joined the other objects before they also vanished. By about 2305 hrs, all of the objects were gone.

Red Orange spheres seen in Peoria Il My husband and I were out to take our dog for her last potty break of the night at 11:00 pm when he pointed out a strange arrangement of lights north of us. The lights were red and orange in color and brighter than any star in the sky. The sky was clear and the stars were visible and the lights I saw were not stars or Chinese lanterns.

The lights were arranged forming a round x, five for each curved line, then more lights, four that I was able to spot. I probably missed a few because I was trying to record it with a cell phone camera that did not capture a thing. The four lights seemed to launch from below and join the moving x, then all the lights that were forming the curved x disappeared.

After that, only three were left that just moved upward north and vanished into the sky. This beautiful occurrence lasted only 5 min.

Round, bright red lighted objects of 10 or so, very quiet, flying south to north over Peoria, Illinois on 9/15/2012. There were several round red and orange lighted objects in the sky, flying from the south to the north. They were silent, not in any formation but traveling a moderate speed.

The lights flashed and made them most noticeable in the night sky. What were they?.

Two sets of flickering orange lights in triangular form (6 lights total) seen over Rt 6 between Peoria and Chillicothe, IL, 9/15/12 At approximately 20:15-20:30 of Saturday, September 15, 2012, I and another were driving NORTH from PEORIA, IL toward CHILLICOTHE, IL on ROUTE 6. As our vehicle got further from the city, the treeline allowed us to see what was previously obscured: two sets of what appeared to be TRIANGULAR LIGHTS. The two sets of lights were EAST from our location.

We were very confused and fascinated at first, uncertain of what we were seeing. My companioned asked, "Are those stars?" But I had mistaken them as lights of communication towers. However, we quickly both understood neither was correct, as: -We were unable to see any stars due to light pollution from being near the city.

-There are no communication towers in that specific spot or at that specific elevation. -The set of lights nearest to us were found to be slowly moving. There were two triangles, very large and very peculiar ih their shape and position in the sky.

It was enough that we immediately knew we were not witnessing something normal. We have traversed Route 6 many times at night and never have seen these before. Both sets had three individual lights which flickered or twinkled like fire or a very bright star.

The color of the lights was ORANGE-RED. We pulled over on the side of Route 6 and turned off our lights to get a better view after approximately two minutes of witnessing the phenomenon. By this point, the lights furthest from us (Figure B in my illustration) were either too distant/sunken behind the tree line to see, or had very peculiarly suddenly disappeared.

Either way, we were unable to see Figure B any longer. Figure A (the nearer set), was drifting very slowly toward our location. NO SOUND was issued from the lights.

I strained to see any more details, but was unable to. I was unable to see any visible lines or structure of any kind between or connecting the lights. I was unable to determine the make or nature of the lights, other than that they resembled fire of some kind, orange and flickering.

Unfortunely, I am not equipped to determine how high the lights were, but am able to say they were below a thin and scattered/spotty cloud cover. One by one, they began to slowly fade. First the light nearest us, and then the two behind at the further end of the triangle.

The lights dimmed very slowly and then went completely dark. We were unable to see anything again after that, and after waiting for a moment, once more turned on the vehicle's lights and resumed our drive. I distinctly recall seeing a program on television a year before about triangular sets of lights a few years back in Tinsley Park, which is a few hours from this location.

From the amateur footage and photographs I saw on the television, these lights matched them very well. I wanted to obtain a photograph or video footage as proof of the objects, but the triangles' lights were not bright nor large enough for my phone to be able to capture among the surrounding darkness. No visible moon was present at the time.

After pulling alongside the road, the remaining lights were visible for approximately 2-3 more minutes, making the total window of visibility at approximately 4-5 minutes.

Orange orb over peoria il While we were watching the meteor shower last Sat night/Sun morning (8/11, 8/12), we saw some strange orange glowing orbs that lingered in the sky for nearly a minute. I know there were a lot of people out watching the falling stars that night, so someone else had to have seen it. Google searches turn up nothing.

Wondering where would be some good resources to find out more about this, or some other eyewitness accounts. We've already checked ufosnw.com and ufostalker.

com. Appreciate any help you can give.

Several bright lights seen just above tree tops before quickly changing direction and disappearing At approximately 9:20 pm on 6/17/2012, my daughter and I were driving home after getting off work. As we got half way down our street we noticed a low flying object with 8-10 bright, white lights and 1 red light (on the end). The object looked triangular.

There was no sound. As we pulled into the driveway we stopped to watch it just above the tree line. The object turned “on a dime” and at a high rate of speed took off in a different direction and disappeared.
