1947 UFO sighting Date: ? sometime in early summer Time: after dark (between 7 - 9 pm) Place: Maywood IL not far from O’hare Airbase (now Chicago International airport) just off of Lake St.
I was 11 years old and my family was visiting my uncle and his family. My cousin (age 10) and I were in the front yard just talking. We walked up to the corner at Lake St. and saw what appeared to be a large flat bottom object with a flattened bell shaped top, dark metallic gray and it appeared to be lit only from the the glow of city lights. There were no apparent lights on the craft itself. It was just hanging there in the western sky. We both ran into the house to tell our parents. When they came out, it was gone.
I’ve witnessed other UFOs from time to time in different parts of the country (currently live in California) but don’t bother to report any to "official" agencies as it is a waste of time.
