3 Lights In Formation Over South Suburbs Of Chicago Illinois

Date: September 17, 2010
Time: Approx: 10:50 p.m.

Last night, I was driving home from picking up my son, and it was about 10:50pm. I was traveling west when I noticed 3 lights coming in our direction. I immediately thought it was 3 planes flying in formation, until they were straight overhead. I pulled over to watch them. I find it interesting that Thursday night in Chicago you saw similar lights.

I am in the south suburbs and I just thought it was awesome! I love to watch the night sky with my kids and we have seen many satellites go across the sky, we watched the space station a few years back accompanied through the sky. I know what airplanes look like and of course, the best way to describe this would be 3 fireballs falling in formation, 2 in the back blurred out as it was overhead the "leading light" continued northeast toward Chicago.

We watched until it was not visible anymore in the horizon, the 2 "rear" lights never showed again. I'm wondering if this was burning debris from a meteor. The lights looked like rings of fire. I've been looking online today for someone to blog it. Well, it seems to be a pattern, so I'll be looking up tonight for it between 10:30 and 11:00.
