Appearance / Description of Object(s)

White light, disk-shaped, flying laps in the sky. Cirlcular laps, but maneuvered throughout the sky, and reversed its cycle randomly. If you held a quarter away at arms length, that is the size of this object in the sky. I would guess it was flying between 10,000 and 15,000 ft.

Full Description & Details

White light, disk-shaped, flying laps in the sky. Cirlcular laps, but maneuvered throughout the sky, and reversed its cycle randomly.

I contacted the local authorities. They claimed it was a spot light from a local mcdonalds. However, I contacted the mcdonalds, there is no spotlight. Before my conversation ended with mcdonalds, the ufo had already disappeared in to the sky.

There was no beam associated with this light. There was severe overcast, and this light was coming down, from above the clouds. A spot light would have flown perfect circles, consistantly, and not moved its flight pattern. This object appeared as a plane flew by. I saw it once, briefly, and pointed to the sky. My girlfriend thought I was crazy, but within a few minutes, the light was back...and it was not attempting to hide. We walked out in to a field, and this thing flew right over our heads, and continued to fly in a circular pattern above us. Again, there was NO beam of light associated with this.

This is not my first sighting. I have seen UFO's periodically throughout my life. I am a four time dean's list student at DePaul University, and I am a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars... in other words, I am no retard. I know what I saw, and local authorities are trying to convince me that it was a spotlight that doesn't even exist.

Please contact me if you have any additional/similar info. mpotesta@students.depaul.edu

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

No. This was a UFO. It was no spotlight. spotlights have beams, and can not decide which part of the sky to fly in. This object moved accross a vast amount of sky in its flight patterns.

Witness Background

Intern currently. Studying business administration at depaul university in chicago. past work experience that is relavent: worked in a manufacturing plant that makes machinery for the military, including aerospace products, and fuel cells for ballistic and tactical missiles.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have researched UFO's since childhood. My sophmore year of college, I studied UFO's avidly, and have been ever since. I am very knowledgeable on the subject matter. I have seen thousands of videos, many were hoaxes, some were not. This was real.
