I had turned my computer off and was going to bed, then I thought it is a clear night tonight. I will go sit on the porch for a few minutes. I no sooner sat in my chair and was looking east. It is a side porch facing East. This did not come from anywhere . it materialized right in front of me. The object was far from close altitude. Almost as high as passenger jets flies but closer.. It was a little to the Northeast heading South. It's speed was the same as a Jet, maybe a little slower These three white lights come on, like a light being switched on.. Here is the strange part. I had sat down and looked up and said to the night sky.. "Ok I been out here waiting for two months, are you going to show up this year.. And bam!!!! on came the three white lights in the shape of a triangle I thought at first it was a plane, no other color but white and no blinking light. It stayed this way for about ten seconds. Then all of a sudden the three white lights moved to the center of what ever the shape was..It turned into one large bright light and I mean bright white, larger than any star.... not twinkle to it perfectly round...It keep going South even steady speed. Then the light started getting dimmer and dimmer it was closing up effect. It was so small like a dot. Then the dot went out. We had crystal skies no clouds .. It did not go behind any thing in the night sky.. I thought Wow! don't go away I will get my camera. ;D In my head I was sure they knew my thoughts. One just knows when it happens. I came back out and this time I stood up over the railing of my porch. I said " are you still there?" OMG.. same spot in the sky three lights again, then one big light, then it grew dim again and winked out. I was so tired I did not turn my computer back on. I would not of been able to concentrate to post this anyway. My camera is just a little digital camera. There was no way it was going to pick up the lights. I can only see the moon through it at night, and pull it in very close. I was hoping if this thing stayed where it was it may come closer where I could of filmed it..Is why I got the camera.. I will never know what it was, but I know satellites do not act this way and neither does a plane. I will be out again tonight at the same time.

The triangle I saw had 3 white lights too...
Were all the sides of the triangle equal lois? Or were two sides longer than the third side?

they were perfectly even in all three sides . the length was the same. not like what I seen three years ago. the sides were longer to the nose.

My paint on my computer blew this up to where the whole screen was blue, the chimney was at the bottom, but you scrolled down a mile to see it. .. I could not tell where I was putting these dots. It stayed the three lights till it got pass the chimney, then the three emerged together. I took this from my porch chair in daylight today. this drawing of dots sits too close to the horizon. it was much higher. But just as close.. Ive never had my paint blow up a photo so big, I usually can see it all on the screen. and with the same camera photos.

Here is Shami's excellent play by play description of the sighting. I'm going to keep my eyes on the UFO reporting sites and see if anybody else reported it.

sky .. swamprat. Paul has been pm ing me with lots of sighting reports in my area lately. with in 20 to 50 miles from me. What got me the most was I told this object not to go away and went to get my camera. As soon as I pointed it up and could not see a thing I brought the camera down and on came the same scene , like hitting replay on a video.. Un real!!!

There have been a lot of sightings in Illinois lately. Lots of them in Missouri too. Something weird is going on up there.

Jo....It was sky's idea as he seen me post this on facebook from my computer. He said he wished he could put it on the forum but did not know how unless it was on u tube. This the first post for me on u tube which has to do with ufos..
I just wished my camera could of seen that far. I was wasting so much time trying to find it when it came back I almost miss the moves it made, just like the first.. I really don't know what it was only what I saw.. What was strange was I asked for it.. to show itself to me first. It may of been just luck too. It was really far off, but very clear in the sky.. like looking at white on black. The sky reminded me of a cold winters night. Here we have the clearest skies on those type of nights when it is very cold. This is why I went out even though it was so late for me to be up.....
My u tube account has never had a video in it, till I put those chipping sparrows on this spring. It was all new to me..
We have a street light right in front of our house and you don't see the stars too well unless you are on the sideporch. I will not go out into any yard.. I still feel no matter how old I get, they may take me..My husband thinks that is silly.. He goes to bed early so there is no one to sit out back with. lol

The triangle I saw had 3 white lights too... Were all the sides of the triangle equal lois? Or were two sides longer than the third side? Lorelei.. The one I seen the other night was very far away but crystal clear to see, now the one over my drive astonished me as it was so close. I was about to run into my home, but could not stop gazing at it. I went so slow.. The triangles I think must have better balance than the small saucers.. It was not like anything I had ever seen in videos of triangles. They all look black againts the night sky, but this had all its lights on and I could see it very well also. Sounds like this one had the same size as the one you witnessed over the highway.. Beiges is what it was. I thought military at first. but it drifted and made no sound. A military plane would of woke the dead in the graveyard down the street coming down so low.. A strong arm could of hit it with a rock.. My husband was a sleep. He would not of got up anyway. Besides after I chased it across the street it had vanished. What would I of showed him? He is the skeptic of all skeptics.. ;D I cannot draw or I could try and make a drawing. it is etched in my mind for sure.

I thought the one I saw was three military planes flying in formation too... three different lights... but no sound like you said... it was HUGE...
It was dark when I saw it so I have no idea what color it was... just saw the lights you know...
Beige... interesting...

This is a photo that Shami took last night while taking pictures of the moon. She said she couldn't see anything with her eyes but it showed up on the camera. Any idea what it might be? It looks like there might be a telephone pole in the bottom right corner with the wires stretching across but they shouldn't be archung up like that, unless the picture is upside down.

this was high up in the sky. it moved in my window of the camera, really scared me.. I looked at the moon and right below this sky. was this crazy thing in the camera, but nothing when I looked up below the moon. freaky is what it was. there is nothing below this at all not even a tall tree. .. I thought maybe some strange looking clouds. I took a tiny bit of color off of it, Guess I should not of , It had redder marks across what ever it is in the center of this pic. could it be clouds. I thought maybe the bottom a jet went by but not two trails that close together, the only thing that seem to move was the two images in the middle and the one at top right. I did not see the other funny mess when looking through the camera.. All I can say it I know the camera was pointing at the moon as I seen you the shots of them to did I not. I was going into another shot of the moon when I seen this.. ?? I did not think you would post it though .. I thought maybe you were better at cameras than I and would tell me it was in the camera. lol

there is telephone lines down below this sky.. I thought the same thing but above the line there is nothing but sky going up to the moon.. It sure does not look like the lines I see out doors . I was looking at them tonight. Mayby it is a bug, that is always a good way to solve it. as it did move, but all moved not one thing.. no bug could look like all these separated images. I give up, it is still in my camera and was getting tired of looking at it as I was using my camera all day today.

I just watched the new video Shami posted on facebook. I didn't see anything that could have caused the things to appear in the photo. There was definitely something in the photo though. Maybe it was some weird type of energy or something. I would recommend that you keep watching the next several nights to see if anything else shows up. It might have something to do with that triangle that you saw. Remember where that crop circle was formed by that beam of light and they went out the next night and took pictures and there were all of these little balls of energy showing up in the photos? Maybe that is what is happening in your town. The triangle shows up and after that there could be some residual energy left over.

Sky, I actually ventured off my porch and sat out front at 1:00 AM all by my self those two nights .. Why did the moon look like fire around it last night through the camera, when the one I e-mailed you the one from the night before, it sure was normal.. Did you notice how fiery it looked? You mention trying to figure out what the was in the photo by watching the daytime video. that is why I'm, posting now. that video is looking East.. Nothing over there but a house roof.. The video you watched on facebook I went over the telephone lines three times and you did not even see them.. why would they then light up for the still pic? Something had to be giving that pic light, which amazes me.. Thanks for watching it. I thought if I tape it at night below the moon you could see there is nothing but blackness. Lois

Lois, Great work on showing us the details of your triangle. Were you anywhere near the bad storm that put out the lights recently? Sue Hi orionpath. Do you think the storm had something to do with the triangle? Could that have caused the weird stuff on the photo? Maybe it was some type of lightning or something. I don't know what it is.

No! we have had no storm here, things were going strong up in Wisconsin and Michigan for a couple of days .. it missed us.. we had two light rains in the night like a shower only.. We been dry and hot for two weeks now.. We cooled down today but back into it again this weekend. Not storms but hot hot hot .. We have terrible humidity where I live, when the sun in blazing that is enough in its self. Add 100 percent.. humidity.. 118 heat index with no relief from rain at all lately.. I dont know what storms Sue is speaking of unless it is the ones that were North of us.
They came down into Indiana and Ohio yesterday. Missed central Illinois completey. The humitiy the night of the triangle was only 40 percent humidity. That is why I went out on my porch, as the sky was so crystal clear like it gets iin the wintertime.. I never really expected to see any ufo in the sky, but knew it was a chance of something being visible to the naked eye. If it had been the next night. you would of seen nothing but haze in the night sky..

I know someone that lives in the storm area. Iwant to ask them if they have seen anything recently in the area that might relate to what Lois has going on in her back yard. Things are quiet here in CNY. orionpath

Following your report Lois. The You Tube video is most helpful. At about 12:40 AM on the early morning of July 9, 2011: You feel compelled to step outside onto the porch of your home after logging off your home computer PC. You expect for a few brief minutes to gaze at the night sky before retiring to bed and sleep. Gazing in the sky, you remark or think to yourself : "Ok I been out here waiting for two months, are you going to show up this year?" (referring to possible alien object making an appearance). Then to your surprise you observe three lights in a expansive triangle group pattern appear nearly above you. These three lights move together as if representing the tips of a large silent perhaps less visible object - an object if less visible that might be filling completely your view of the night sky. You are gazing upward at about 45 to 60 degree estimated angle looking to your east. Object observed moving slowly in a steady southerly direction - from left to your right. Uncertain if these three lights represent three points of a very large unseen single object, or represent three separate single objects each with a single light - moving in a formation in a controlled and nonrandom pattern. Sky conditions very clear (witness describes sky as 'crystal clear'.) CAVU (Clear And Visibility Unlimited) No clouds. Lights reported are white in color. Moon: In first quarter see: lunaf.com/english/moon-phases/lunar-calendar-2011/07/09/About half way through the duration of your sighting, these same three white lights simultaneously move toward the center of where a triangle shape area would be in the sky and combine into one larger light. It continues on it's steady coarse & speed south. The light from the object now beginning to dim. You return quickly with a small digital camera to try to take a photo, thinking there maybe little hope of recording something. The lights seem to have disappeared. You talk to the light in the sky wishing these lights will reappear & become brighter again. The object seems to comply, and brightens briefly first as three separate lights in a triangle pattern again, then merge into a single light - repeating it's earlier movement. Then this light on it's apparent travels south disappears behind some tall full trees in your neighbors yard across the street. You are reluctant to follow, possibly stepping off your east porch area into the dark at that time of night to perhaps get a better view. You consider if it is a airplane or perhaps a satellite or another natural or man-made object, but after considering this, you cannot find a reasonable explanation and regard it as a dramatic and anomalous object. No sound heard. No easily apparent or noticeable sense of missing time reported. One witness. Date: July 9, 2011 Time: 12:40 AM to 12:52 AM (00:40 to 00:52) hours. Duration of sighting: 12 minutes Questions. 1. Are my notes here accurate? Please feel relaxed & comfortable sharing with me (us) corrections for accuracy. 2. Where do you live (name town only) in Illinois? 3. Did there ever appear to you at any time any object or structure seen in-between these lights? 4.. Was your most previous recent sighting before this one (July 9th, 2011) similar to this current sighting? 5.. Any other impressions you have about the experience? 6.. Notice any other unusual things after this event? Dreams, thoughts, markings on your body? Any peculiar things around you? Other activity on July 5-9, 2011 Chicago, Illinois. 10:20 PM (22:20 hours). 'On 09 July11 at approximately from 10:20pm to 10:33pm Chicago time I observed a very bright orange and red fireball or flame like object in the the clear night sky from my rear deck of my house. as it descended the fireball or flame object made j type turn and changed into a white color before a lost sight of it over the tree lines.this object was moving very slow, i would say slower then an airplane but much higher in altitude. i thought it was an airplane on fire but did not hear anything on the news. i was surprised by was occurred but have the need to report it. I'm still trying to make sense out of the whole thing.' NUFORC has reports only up to July 5, 2011 as of this time. One report....July 5, 2011 in Chicago. Occurred : 7/5/2011 22:40 (Entered as : 07/05/2011 22:40) Reported: 7/5/2011 11:15:35 PM 23:15 Posted: 7/6/2011 Location: Chicago, IL Shape: Triangle Duration:5 seconds Three white strobing lights in a triangular pattern We were at the U2 concert at Soldier Field. It started to sprinkle a few drops so I looked up to see what the clouds looked like. When I looked up I saw three white strobing lights heading East to West. They were in a perfect triangle with what would appear to be the flat side facing forward in the direction of flight. I am assuming that the three lights were on an object, I could not make out any structure between the lights. The object was passing in and out of the bottom of the clouds, although it never became fully obscured. The MDW TAF says that there is a broken cloud layer at 5000 and a scattered layer at 12000, although the sighting was two hours previous to me checking the TAF. What I thought was odd was that the craft didn't have any beacons or navigation lights. All I could see was the three simultaneously strobing white lights. There were other aircraft in the sky, there were two helicopters circling almost constantly. For background I am a professional aircraft mechanic and have worked at O'Hare for the past 22 years. I am very familiar with aircraft and their lighting patterns. This is unlike anything I have seen before. There was no way to tell if it made any sound. The concert was very loud. Steve

Steve .. that video is confusing. I should not of mention what came over my house a few years ago. It is the one I followed across my street.
The one the other night was very high.. I would say maybe 20,000 feet, but that would be guessing. A little lower than a passenger plane.
It did not go behind trees as the one white light grew dim to a smaller light which just winked off.
I had goose bumps when I said to what ever it was...{ I have a camera now come back.}. If it had come back in a different location it would of been amazing, but to replay the same scene.. No way was it a plane..
Lois
