Four local children tell a tale of seeing a rotating disc flying across their subdivision and over a nearby cornfield before the object disappeared somewhere around Route 53. The children tell their story so well that expert investigators from the Mutual UFO Network say their story could not be made up. Investigators from the network, those who report witnessing unidentified flying objects and members of the public attended a special meeting this month at the Wilmington Public Library. The group provided videotapes and hundreds of photographs taken during what the UFO network's Illinois Section director, Sam Maranto, is calling some of the most massive area UFO sightings in recent history. Two of the events took place Aug. 21 and Oct. 31 of this year and were reportedly seen by hundreds of people in Frankfort, Mokena, New Lenox, Tinley Park, Oak Forest, Orland Park, Orland Hills, Matteson and possibly as far away as Hazel Crest. The sighting reported by the children happened in Wilmington in June and differs from the more recent events. The more massive sightings were of a peculiar formation of three red lights — not a disc — that were seen by hundreds of witnesses. One business owner said he was sitting outside with some friends after the Chicago Bears football game when a neighbor yelled at them to look up.

They watched the three lights change formations as they went from a northwest direction to the southeast in about 20 minutes, he said. There reportedly was no sound. He said the bright red lights turned white before disappearing. Around 45 minutes later, a single red light appeared. He was able to capture the light with his video camera. The witness, who lives in Tinley Park, also viewed the return of the lights on Halloween night. There were three of them again, he said.
