Massive triangle zooms over Chicago’s west side
On Wednesday October 16 between 7:25 and 7:35 PM I saw I very large triangle with a light on each corner fly from north to south in a straight line, pointy end first. It took about 2 seconds to fly across the sky and out of view. I would guess at least the size of a football field though it’s hard to say what altitude it was at. About 2 full moons across, or if holding a ruler at arms length about 3-4 inches on the ruler. The lights on the corners were very large, facing down, and very dim, yellowish, not as bright as the stars or planes over head. No flashing lights or lights in the middle, just the 3. Completely silent. I was standing in Logan Square (Chicago) facing west. If it wasn’t going so fast I would have tried to take a picture or video but then again it was so dim so it might not have been captured. This was just after sunset and there was lots of ambient light. I would say it was definitely faster than the jets during the air and water show. Any! one facing west and looking up would have seen it, it may have been dim, but it was brazen, unmistakable and unmissable for the two seconds it took to fly from one end of the sky to the other. There were aircraft in the vicinity but none chasing the object, which I imagine to be impossible. I would also like to include that it was flying virtually parallel to the streets that run north-south, so not traveling southwest or southeast etc.
