Orange Glowing Light Over Hawthorn Woods Illinois

Date:  September 2, 2012
Time:  Approx: 8:20 p.m.

I was in Hawthorn Woods, IL, (Forest Lake to be exact) last night and saw a orange-ish light heading towards me in a n/w to s/e direction. Thought it was some kind of aircraft. It wasn't. It was travelling at uneven speed and slowed down and turned a bit to the right (S/B) at that time it slowed down, almost hovering.

This orange glowing object had no marker lights and was silent. I was looking at it when a van drove by me approaching a stop sign and I asked the person in the van, "did you see that?" He looked out and did see it as well.

Then a female got out as it started heading more south at a bit higher speed and asked me if it was orange. I responded "yes", and then I pointed up at it and she saw it at the last second before it disappeared behind a tree line and clouds.

This person said it isn't the first time she saw this. This thing wasn't a helicopter either. No sound. It moved in a way that wasn't "normal" for any type of aircraft I've ever seen. I've never seen anything like it.

It must have been several thousand feet up for it to go behind the clouds and have no sound.

I called a few people and even reported it to the Hawthorn Woods Police Dept. There were some boaters on Forest Lake. I don't know if they saw it or not but I'm telling you this was unlike anything I've ever seen.

It was something that I could not "identify" at all.

Just wanted to chime in because it freaked me out totally.

Orange Glow Over Hawthorn Woods Northwest Of Chicago

Date: July 4, 2010

Time: Evening.

I was in Hawthorn Woods, northwest of Chicago on July 4th and our party witnessed a slow moving orange glow move from south to north. It made no noise and had no blinking lights as the many aircraft that fly directly over this area from O'Hare do. It moved very slowly northward and was in sight for about ten minutes until it faded away in the distance. it looked unlike any thing that I have ever seen.

Airline Pilots Observes Orange Light Over Hawthorn Woods Illinois

Date: July 3, 2010

Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.

Number of Witnesses: 6

Brian Vike's Note: This report below is an updated version of a sighting which was sent to me last night, July 4, 2010). I have the link to the witnesses original sighting report. - http://unitedstatesufo.blogspot.com/2010/07/airline-pilots-observe-orange-ball-of.html

On the night of July 3rd, 2010, I saw a orange glowing ball headed directly north go right over my house. I am an airline pilot. It was witnessed by myself and 5 other airline pilots who were at my house for an Independence Day party that night. Altitude was very hard to guess because it was a clear night, and I don't know the actual size of the object. We noticed it when it was directly overhead and watched it move in a straight line until it disappeared over the north horizon. It was in view for less than 2 minutes. We heard no sound from the object.

It was too large to be any type of firework. Moved way to fast to be a balloon. Too bright to be an airplane. Moved too slow and the light was too steady to be a meteor. I thought that it could be the International Space Station. I looked up when the ISS crossed overhead and it was supposed to be around 11:04pm. The event occurred about an hour before that. It was also orange in color and moving too fast, and looked too large, in my opinion, to be the space station.

To me, it looked like a jet aircraft with an engine on fire but with no sound, maintaining altitude, and heading away from all the airports with the longest runways. I have no idea what it was. I find it interesting that there are so many other reports from around the world that have seen the same thing. Most of them seem to be around 10:00pm or so. I'm curious to find out what it was.
