Size of Object(s)Same as Sirius Color and size. (7 objects). Distance to Object(s) & Altitude100 miles overhead Shape of Object(s)Small lights, triangular in pattern Color of Object(s):White light. Full Description & DetailsTriangular shaped 7 object very bright same as Siruis in intesity. Not too high up, in earth orbit. Dark sky and kept same distance equally at all angles. Flew in pattern. I am an amateur astromoner and flew South to North. Saw it coming, looked up, spotted, and had to quickly look to North, Chicago area, and estimate hit Chicago 200 miles away in 4-5 seconds. Silent, fast and bright, therfore eliminating meteor, unless one broke apart seperating above me just perfectly. But, it kept the size and did not fall to Earth. Totally unknown and was a clear and star filled sky. Moved against the background of stars. Witness BackgroundCollege graduate 2 year and amateur astronomer for 11 years prior to sighting. I was out looking at the stars was not too cold for December-but had no binnoculars or telescope that night. Too fast for that anyway. Naked eye sighting. Other Comments38 at time of sighting.
