NUFORC Sighting 120681

Occurred: 2015-07-26 23:30 Local
Reported: 2015-07-26 22:15 Pacific
Duration: 2-3 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: River Grove, IL, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

I was smoking a cigarette through my window, when I spotted very white bright lights hovering in the sky, at first I thought that maybe it is an airplane or the star, but since in Chicago it is hard to notice stars because of the city's lights I knew that it is not a star.

I could make out a contour line that looked like a flat triangle shape object. The brighter light became dimer while the other became brighter, the light hovered over the ground for around 2-3 minutes and then disappeared completely.

The sky had some clouds, but normal airplanes coming from O'Hare airport were easily seen and recognized, but that thing had way to bright lights to be an airplane.

Also, as an Army Veteran I know that lights do not just hover in the sky for 3 minutes.
