An Illinois witness at Saint Charles reported watching a cigar-shaped object moving overhead with lights at both ends, according to testimony in Case 89610 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness and her husband were looking out a front kitchen window about 9:30 p.m. on January 3, 2018, when the incident began.

“Our window overlooks the covered deck, but we like to watch the planes coming and going into and out of the airports in Chicago,” the witness stated. “From the side of the window that I was standing I noticed a bright light and saw a cigar-shaped object with bright lights on the front and back of the object.”

The witness then alerted her husband.

“It moved so fast that by the time I told my husband to move over to my side and up look it had moved out of sight. It appeared to come from the northwest and headed southeast out of sight. It made no sound and was a dark metal color with no light between the front and back lights.”

Illinois MUFON State Section Director James Wolford closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

A New York witness at Mechanicville reported watching a silent, hovering light that shined a light onto the street below, according to testimony in Case 89364 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

“I was up all night with sick kids, so when this happened, I thought my ‘tired’ mind was playing tricks on me,” the witness stated. “I saw a glow of light, light-up my window sill in front of my computer desk. I then looked out of the window to see if someone had pulled into my driveway.”

The witness then noticed a “decent size light” in the sky not too far above the power lines along the street.

“The light was not moving and was very bright white. It only took about a minute or two from the time I started watching it for it to shine a beam of light down on the side of the road. The light beam only lasted a few seconds but afterwards it all went away. No more light and no more beam. I never saw it again. Completely silent. Not a noise at all was heard.”

The next morning the witness went outside to look around.

“I noticed that the snow had fallen everywhere but one spot. A perfect circle of bare grass with snow all around it. It is the weirdest thing.”
New York MUFON Field Investigator Dale Reeck closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.
