Sullivan, Illinois (United States)

Sighted on Monday 16. March 2015
Reported on
Shape: Boomerang | Duration: Undisclosed
Source:

At the time of sighting i was just about to come inside from our enclosed back porch. As i walked past the oversized windows i glanced out to notice what first appeared to be a moving line of stars! Within seconds I was able to discern some suggestion of a rounded or wide boomerang shape as it steadily passed further into my field of vision, possibly heading west or WSW. The *leading edge* of the object was my only reference point for size and shape of obect as the lights were a little faint/fuzzy like distant stars (though concrete and discernable as a distinct object). i would guess there were easily 2 dozen white lights, seemingly close together, comprising the leading edge.For whatever reason the body of the object was hazy or simply blended in with the night sky. Unfortunately I had the windows closed with the vent on so had there been any sound associated with the object it was lost on me. Within a minute or less the object became lost to view due to trees etc. My impression was of a fairly large, rounded boomerang or fat bullet shaped craft, but as the body was blurred to me I really cannot say. I'm also not certain about the actual shape as I was still able to see the lighted front edge as it faded to the west, so not sure what its position relative to my perspective may have actually been.
