Light Triangle over Waukegan Airport
At approximately 21:58 hours CST. I was fueling my vehicle at an open air fuel pump, my partner was working on paperwork, and our new hire stepped out to learn how to use the fuel pump. As we were waiting for the fuel to top off, I noticed the new was looking intently at the sky. I made a comment on how nice it was, and was trying to identify the aroma in the air. The new hire commented on how peculiar two small clouds looked, each about 1/2 the size of the visible moon and from my perspective, approximately 1 inch apart, comparable to the height of the visible moon. They were positioned directly below the half moon, at approximately 197 degrees SSW. He stated "they look like two Casper Ghosts chasing each-other." The "clouds" in question were traveling East across the sky, faster than any other clouds. They were also distanced quite a bit from any other clouds in the sky. After the had moved away from the moon, we noticed there was a thi! rd "cloud" in the formation, creating an almost perfect isosceles triangle. Two of the "clouds", bottom two, had a steady reddish hue to them and the third a steady amber. A s the formation moved further away from the moon, I noticed and stated, I had seen a long flash or beam of light extending from the moon through the middle of the formation . The light was very faint, like that of the halo seen around a full moon on a clear sky. The new hire asked if it was an aura from the moon perhaps. After the beam of light, the cloud shapes had completely faded away leaving just the glowing lights. The lights still moving East across the sky had now made it to about 180 degrees South. Time elapsed approximately 2 minutes. At this point the lights started to fade out one-by-one, first the top amber, then the bottom right, and finally the bottom left. It should be noted that the sighting location is approximately 1 mile directly North of the Waukegan National Airport . Both observers are male 25-40 years of age, and work in pub! lic safety.
