Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It was black, with 4 big lights on the the top and the bottom; symettrically. Try to imagine an upside-down "T" with a light at every corner and edge. And on the bottom there was what appeared to be a red-light circling the perimeter. But unlike the white lights that was only on the bottom.

Size of Object(s)

If I held my hand up to it -- probably 1 inch. If I were to give a size estimate: 5 feet thick and 100 ft long; in a triangle.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Distance away; probably 10 miles. And probably 1000 feet up.

Description of Area / Surroundings

It was right by my 70's looking Middle school. And that is by train tracks and the small downtown part of Hinsdale. But it is by Chicago (Chicago is 5 miles away).

Full Description & Details

I was coming out of the school from my grade's Art Show. I began to walk up the steps and look at the stars. There were a stars. The Big Dipper was out too! I am looking up. First I think it is an airplane, because the lights are in sort of the formation like: one on talk, ends of both wings, and in front. But this was different. There was this weird red light going around the perimeter of what looked like an isoceles (the tall one) triangle. I heard a sound, like an airplane, but this was coming from another airplane. Then I compared the two. Definitely NOT an airplane. So it was a silent triangle with a "disco-like" light circling the blinking as it went around the perimiter; fairly quickly. I watched as it turned straight an I saw the back of it. It was extremely thin. I also saw two lights on the back of it. I could still see the red light circling the perimter. Now that I saw the top a little I realized that there was no red light on top; although the white lights were on the top also. But no red lights. Then it went behind some trees and my Mom drove me home.

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

Maybe an airplane, but airplanes don't have circling red lights that never stop. And airplanes make a sound unlike this object.

Witness Background

I go to Hinsdale Middle School; I love studying UFO's; and I get very good grades.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Well I have always read about the "Black Triangle". I also watch UFO Files on the history channel. I am firm believer. I also have (3 times) seen a giant green light surrounded by lots of red lights. This I have always assumed to be the "Venus Lights".

Other Comments

No additional comments, except that a few times since that some lights in the place where I live have flickered, and this rarely happens.
