I live in Romeoville. was outside one my back portch and saw in the sky toward Chicago blue flashes across sky and no way was it fire works or deplays from a light display because there were no clouds for the what ever I saw to reflect from they were traveling down and side to side in a very fast motion someone else had to have seen it, too, because it wasn't anything I have ever seen before. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Went out for a smoke and saw bright reddish orange light in sky heading south, then it turned west without slowing down. Moved very erratically. No sound at all. Disappeared behind the trees. Saw similar some time back in the north east sky, again traveling erratically, bright red light went off for short time then reappeared, for a short time. Could these be drones??

On January 10, 2015, at 3:00 am, in the southwest sky in the direction of Shorewood from Romeoville, there were two flashing lights. It almost looked as if they were rotating and the light got dimmer as it went to the back. One was slightly bigger than the other. It was a brighter white with red blinking underneath it. The other one was a bit smaller and was mostly a red flashing light. Both hovered together for about 10 minutes. It looked like they were flashing lights at each other. I am 100% sure they were not planes. Neither one ever came closer or seemed to fly in any direction. After about 15 minutes of my observation, the brighter one, on the left, slowly started to distance itself from the one on the right. It never got smaller (suggesting that it was not flying away), it just got further and further away. Then, it kind of went straight up and again drifted off in a southern direction. I took several pictures with my phone. The quality is not very good. After about 20 minutes, they were gone.
