My boyfriend picked me up from work, we thought it was drones but they disappeared and reappeared in sequence.Never seen this before.

The lights were in clusters of 3 and would spread to singular almost choreographed, they were at least 15. There was one light that seemed dominant in the upper right hand. There is a reflection of my phone and our car radio but it's clearly distinguishable. I was afraid to get out of the car because my mind couldn't wrap itself around what I was seeing before I made the snapchats, which I deleted feeling confused and embarrassed. My boyfriend and I are 19 and do not believe in conspiracies, UFO's do not cross my mind. I cannot I unsee what happened last night. I am leaving my Mom's email and phone number because I was using snapchat and did not have service, but I am available most mornings.

Line of 8 to 10 spheres, star sized lights traveling southwest to northeast across the horizon, perfect line and distance between each

My wife and I were out walking the dog tonight at 6:30 PM, 18:30 hours when we looked to the southwest, a line of lights we’re moving in the sky, perfectly spaced distance between them, and going to the northeast. I have watched the International Space Station travel overhead many times which is approximately 250 miles above in orbit. Theses objects appeared much higher up, the same size as stars, traveling in a straight line, at least eight of them stretched halfway across the horizon and traveled perfectly spaced apart to the northeast. It was stunning to see these objects, they looked like a whole new constellation of perfectly aligned stars, only they were moving fast inline.

The objects travel across the horizon for about 10 minuets, continuing northeast until we lost sight of them.

Top Shaped Object Moves Back and Forth in Sky Over Parking Lot

Walking from my car back to my office getting back from lunch, I heard and saw a flock of geese flying behind a couple of trees about 100 feet behind my office building landing near a pond near the trees. It was a vivid blue sky and a bright sunny and very chilly day, and out of the corner of my eye noticed something above the tallest tree moving in the sky. It was seemingly very high up, but looked like a toy top shape, like a wizzer from the 70s. It was silvery-white, and seemed to be slightly glowing, or hazy. The thing shot forward very fast, then seemed to shoot back to where it had been very fast again, it did this three times. After the third time it seemed to get a bit lower, more slowly, then I lost sight of it behind the building next to ours. I did set my lunch down quickly on the parking lot and tried to take several pics with my cellphone, but even though the object was right in the viewfinder, nothing showed up on any of the pics I took.

2 red-orange balls of light in sky in Lisle, IL.

I was in the passenger seat of my dad's truck, at around 10:30 pm, 06/19/15. I was talking to my dad, and I saw 2 red orange lights above the tree horizon when I turned to look at him. The lights where near his head from my point of view. I was able to watch them for about a minute because I told him to stop a bit to see something.

They stayed there for a bit but while I reached for my cellphone they disappeared.

Stationary fireball lights on horizon facing Ohare.

We were commenting on the strange cloud shape in the sky as though three jets went through close together and noticed them. Looking northeast from our apartment balcony we saw three individual fireball pulsating objects. They maintained vertical position close to the horizon for over 10 minutes and then one went out slowly. The other two remained for about another 5-8 minutes before going out as well. They were almost amber in color but flickered frequently and were extremely bright. There were normal air traffic patterns with helicopters but this was extremely odd. We have planes coming overhead all the time and this looked nothing like them whatsoever.

Location: Lisle, IL, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Changed Color, Aircraft nearby

Afternoon sighting of 15+ ufo's that changed colors and were the size of stars in the night sky.

It was approximately 4:50 pm CST on May 28, 2008 in Lisle, IL. I was standing facing east (sun was behind me) walking home from a park with my baby and 3 neighborhood kids (range in age from 8 to 5). The sky was perfectly blue- not a single cloud. I looked at the sky and pointed and asked the kids “What’s that?” One of the girls said it looks like the “Big Dipper” (only it had more “stars” in it). I realized then that even though it looked like stars in the night sky they started shifting and moving around slightly, while still staying in the same area. I knew that it wasn’t stars – they were UFO’s.

There was a main ship (white) that never really moved- it was the largest (comparable to seeing a planet in the night sky – maybe a little bigger). There were multiple ships with this main one- they would disappear/vanish and then reappear. They would change color- from white to red to green. Mostly, the small ships looked like white dots – there were many of them.

At one point, I counted 8 – but, there were as many as 15+. Airplanes passed the area (flying below the UFO’s) several times. I KNOW these objects were not planes. About 10 minutes went by and they were still in view; I took 4 pictures with my Blackberry camera but nothing really turned out because they were so small. As we began walking home, we looked up at the sky again- maybe a minute or two went by – and all the UFO’s were gone. I checked several more times on our walk home and even later this evening and saw nothing.

A solid light that changed sizes instantly and then disappeared.

It was approximately 0630 hours. I was driving eastbound on I88 going through Lisle, Illinois on my was to work. Just to my slight right so probably a Southeastern direction I was this solid light. The light looked as if it was many miles away and somewhat high in the sky. It was round and was very white but looked filtered as if it was through clouds or fog around it, but there were no clouds at that time. As I watched the light it suddenly became 4-10 times larger then its initial size in less then a second. A few seconds later the light returned to its original size and as I was grabbing my video camera I looked up and it was gone. This all took place over a period of about 10 seconds. I am a firefighter and I have never seen anything close to this in my life.

December 31st, 1975. It was maybe around 10:30 pm. My husband (noW ex-husband) and I had been working in Westmont. We were headed to his Uncle'S house for a casual New Years Eve family gathering in Wheaton. As we headed west on Warrenville Road we spotted a light suspended in the sky over the field next to the road. It was a clear quiet night. I begged my ex to pull over to the side of the road so we could get a better look at it. There was nothing attached to the light...no tower beneath it; nothing from which it was suspended. Once we stopped (as did a couple cars in front of us and 1 behind us) the light started scanning the field beneath it (EDGE OF mORTON aRBORETUM). I rolled down my window to listen for some type of engine noise...thinking maybe it was attached to a small aircraft (thinking manmade)...I could only hear a PULSATING humming/vibrating noise similar the noise of power line towers. As I reached for the door handle to get out of the car my ! ex grabbed my jacket sleeve and said, "no! Don't get out!" I pleaded with him to back up so maybe I could see it better...as he put the car in reverse and slowly startED back the object stopped scanning the ground and the light was immediately extinguished like a camera shutter closes.

At that point my ex shifted into gear and sped away. My ex would never discuss what we saw admit to anyone what we witnessed and asked me not to, fearing people would think we were "nuts". The event really upset him.HOWEVER, I have shared it with many people and I was very surprised to learn that there are tons of "nuts" on the loose. Well, at least I'm not alone! :) However, it would be nice to know who the others were in the cars that pulled off when we did.

Occurred: 1975-01-06 10:45 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2015-07-29 00:43 Pacific
Duration: 20 seconds
No of observers: 3

Location: Lisle, IL, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object

Large disk, with lights running around it, floated very low and silently across a field near Lakeside Dr in Lisle, IL.

My mom and our neighbor were living in apartments outside of Chicago at the Four Lakes complex in Lisle, IL, on Lakeside Drive. We were at his place watching the movie and were about to go home.

I can not be sure of the date, as it was so long ago, and I was quite young, maybe 6 or 7 years old. What I can say for sure is that it was in the mid '70's (maybe '75) 'Gone With The Wind - Part 1" had just finished airing on television when we stepped outside after the movie. It must have been around 10:30-11pm. We stepped outside on a cold but clear night and looked at an open field to see a large saucer shape silently move from left to right across the field and over the trees across the course of maybe 10-20 seconds. It was no more than a few hundred meters away, and appeared to be 30-50 feet across, roughly the same altitude as it measured across. If you held your hand outstretched and away from your body, it was easily as wide as a large hand hand, if not bigger! I do not recall any clear features on the top or bottom, however a row of lights or windows around around it's circumference. At the time I thought I could make out figures inside, however it could also have been diffused shadows between the lights, which were ran around the edge between the top/bottom sections. It was hard to tell, as the disc appeared to be slowly rotating.

It was a dark night, flying over a poorly lit field, so I can not say for sure if it was a sliver metallic finish, but that was definitely the impression I have always had. There was no wind, and it was completely silent After it left our field of vision, we stared blankly at the empty field for a few moments before staring at each other without saying a word. We then exchanged looks and went inside.

In the weeks that followed I brought it up with my mom, and we both agreed it was strange, and definitely not something conventional like a helicopter or blimp.

While driving with my mom in about 2012 she asked if I remembered the 'UFO we saw'. I assumed she had forgotten about the experience, and I was beginning to wonder if I had imagined it, so it was a relief to hear her bring it up.

As I never forgot the experience, and had my own clear memory of it, I got her to tell me HER memories of the event before I said anything further, and they matched my recollection perfectly. I only had to remind her what movie we were watching.

I offer this in the hope that perhaps it might be 1 small report to help tell a much bigger story note: The Good Year Blimp was active at the time, with blinking lights/signage. I witnessed it from the viewing deck of the Sears Tower only a few weeks later (at night), and it was definitely not the same.

Like many teenage boys I got heavily into aircraft after 'Top Gun' came out. Friends used to test each other on aircraft identification, sometimes based on photos from just a small sections of the aircraft. I have also had a passion for all things aerospace, and had been to several airshows as a kid and adult. While that is a far cry from a 'trained observer,' I have never seen anything even closely resembling what we saw.

Reported: 2014-01-06 18:45 Pacific
Duration: 1-2 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Upper Lisle, NY, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Silent slow moving huge dark grey triangular craft with 3 lights in each corner.

Dark grey triangular shaped craft with 3 lights in each corner moved silently and slowly from south to north, just above the trees. I would guess it to be at least 150-200 feet at it's widest point.

This occurred when I was a child (about 8 or 9 years old) and could have happened in the summer of 1969. I was camping with my family in Upper Lisle Park but was alone fishing in pond in a somewhat secluded area about 1000 feet south of Upper Lisle Rd. and 300 feet west of Whitney Point Reservoir.

I was facing north at dusk as the craft came directly over me and continued moving north at a speed I would judge at about 5-10 miles an hour. I watched until the trees to the north of me blocked my view. I ran back to the campsite thinking everyone there would have seen it and would be talking about it. However no one was, and afraid of being ridiculed, I did not tell anyone that day of my experience. I figured since it flew just above the trees, the trees must have blocked their view. Plus it made no noise and it was getting dark.
