Ok here is my UFO story. Like I said, by UFO I mean unidentified flying object not spacecraft with lil green men.
Well about 99-2000 I was working 2nd shift (4-12) at a group home. Located in Charleston Il. I usually stayed around till about 2 or 3 a.m. talking to the 3rd shift person. Well I can't remember the day but I recalled that there was supposed to be a meteor shower that night. So when I left work about 3-3:30 a.m. I decided when I got home I would stay outside and look to see if I saw the shower. So I got home and was standing outside my home. After a few minutes, I saw what looked like a dark shadow come up from behind my house out of the field behind it. It made no sound, it glided slowly over my house. As it did I noticed it was triangular in shape. And it had like a black metallic see through look to it. And on the back of it was a light at each corner. I can't remember if they where white or red.
Any how. I just watched it as it glided over the house in front of mine. Oh and it was probably the size of 2 football fields.
Anyway I didn't follow it. I wish now I would have but I just was sort of shocked. I kept thinking, I didn't just see that? Did I, and what the heck was that. So it kind of bugged me for a while. But I just sort put it at the back of my mind.
Then I saw this program on Discovery Channel. Ufo over Illinois. I then went running into tell my husband that I saw that. Of course he laughed at me. Well thats ok. I saw something I have never seen before. Whether it be government top secret aircraft or spaceship, I don't know. I am going with top secret aircraft. But I saw it. And wish now I would have followed it.
For reference here is a map of where I am and where the people on the Discovery show saw what they saw. Also here is a link to some info about the program.

Wow Lori, I am always facinated by these stories.
Personally I think I could handle a ghost, but its what may be in those UFO's which scare me to death.
Don't ya wish you had a camera around your neck? 😁
I've been asked that question so many times and my answer is always 20/20 hindsight is a great thing...isn't it? lol

I have seen exactly what you're talking about.
My husband, two children and I were traveling through southwestern Illinois (just past St. Louis..dont' remember exactly where) on our way through to Georgia in early Feb 2005.
We, too, saw a very VERY large triangularly lit object. We were on the interstate and couldn't pull over or turn around, but it did at least three loops in the air (loops being VERY large loops, miles long I'm sure) above the part of the state we were driving in. It seemed to go down to the ground, then back up in the air, which led me to believe at first it was a plane. But the only plane I knew of that didn't make noise was a Stealth and this was *NOT* a Stealth. I've seen them in flight and this wasn't a stealth. It looked like a "cheesehead" hat (like a Packers fan would wear) except HUGE. After a few loops, it flew back directly over our vehicle and once it was over the car and I lost sight of it, it disappeared.
It was TOTALLY gone. No noise, no gust of wind, nothing.
Then, a few months later we saw a Peter Jennings special on TV depicting exactly what we saw. It was unbelievable. I knew then I wasn't out of my mind.
You're not alone, hon!! I've seen what you're talking about!

Cool! I'm not the only one. Its taken me a while to share this story. I mean the only people I told about it was my husband. I did share my experience with a show on blogtalkradio but that was only like within the last year. I guess its like when people have hauntings. No one really talked about it till recently. Because you don't want folks to think your nuts. But I know what I saw. I just I knew what the heck it was.

LOL I wasn't lookin for it. It just appeared. Try looking during a meteor shower. LOL Worked for me.
Oh and ever since then, I have looked up a lot looking to see something again. No luck. 🙁

I remember this. I have a sister who lives near Lebanon, Il. and she says there was quite a bit of excitement there. She knew the cop that followed it.
