Crystal lake Illinois

Shape: Disc-like | Duration: 30 seconds
Source:

At 3:20 I was leaving my job (hair salon) and turned right to get on Randall road near the lake in the hills airport. I had looked to the right and realized 2 bright white lights had caught my eye above the airport. I had a good 10 seconds to look at these lights and realized what I was looking at was very close to the clouds yet so close to the ground. Like looking at a plane flying in the school and thinking it’s small but you consciously know they’re actually massive. I have lived near LITH airport my whole life and have never seen anything like this. When I could make out what I was seeing it looked like a disc with 2 lights on the front. Not what you would imagine a “ufo” would look like. I thought maybe it was a drone but what happened next had no explanation that didn’t go against the laws of physics. After looking at this “disc with lights” i reached for my phone to take a picture going west on Randall road. I looked back up and it was still there. I drove past the man-made lake “three oaks” and a tree obscured my vision of said object for a second. Once I could see where the object was again, it was not there. I can’t think of anyway it could have moved. It would have had to go up or land. It literally vanished. It was there, then it wasn’t. I have no explanation as to what I saw and it’s been bothering me since I got home. I didn’t know if I should call someone or report it so this is the best I can do. I do believe in other life out in the universe, it is arrogant and ignorant to think otherwise but I just want to say I have never sought out this kind of thing nor do I think about it. I also thought maybe it was a drone, but I don’t think drones are as big as what I saw. Also, it wasn’t moving, it stayed in one place. Not sure what happened or if anyone else saw but I am curious to find out if it was just me. I even thought about calling the LITH airport. I have no reason to make anything up, I am a buisness owner and have a lot to lose and didn’t think I’d ever see anything that I couldn’t explain ever in my life. Especially in the air like it was. The object itself was maybe bigger than a United airlines commercial plane.
