Blue Mound, Illinois (United States)

Source:

I was walking home from a friend's house in the middle of the street. It was eerily quiet and uncomfortably silent which was broken by the sounds of a helicopter approaching fast and low. While scanning the sky in the direction of the sound I witness an orange orb appear from behind the tree line immediately pursued by a full throttle low flying helicopter.The object kept a straight path until out of view as did the helicopter crossing over the horizon.I immediately knew I was seeing something incredible. My initial reaction was pure terror and crying while running home to share my story.
