Shape: Light - Duration: 2-3 minutes

Light over Tinley Park. No sound or running lights

Strange light in the skies over Tinley Park. The light moved from North to South at a seemingly slow rate of speed. No sound whatsoever came from the light.

I am writing this as I have just come inside and trying to remember everything. There was lots of plane activity in skies. The object passed between what I think was Venus and the very bright moon. Skies were very clear.

NO running lights were visible, which is what caught my attention. I saw a very bright light coming across the sky. It passed directly over and in front of me.

It almost looked like there were two afterburners on the back side but again, no sound at all. It never changed pace.

I thought I would see running lights from the back, then there was nothing. I followed it until I could no longer see the light; 2-3 minutes I think.

I had two dogs outside and there was no reaction from them as far as I could tell. I first thought the object was very high in the sky because I couldn't see the running lights.

As it passed over me, I got the feeling it was much lower than I first thought. I was looking to see if I could make out any kind of wing or fuselage but I could not.

Once past me, the single light was gone/blocked and the "after burner" lights appeared. No flame from them... that was just my impression of what I saw.

I also saw 2 lights on the back. These seemed like a softer glowing orange. The single light was a brighter yellow/whitish light. I had gone outside at 6:50 pm to let my dogs out.
