A orangeish red light in the sky above Tinley Park Illinois around 171st street and 88th Ave. 10/31/04 about 9:30pm.

Tonight 10/31/2004, 2 of us went for a walk and noticed a orangeish red light in the sky above Tinley Park Illinois around 171st street and 88th Ave. about 9:30pm. We then got another person to come outside and look at what we saw. The orangeish red ight seemed to hover in the sky above us not moving and only on air plane came by and the light semed to get dimmer and shift slightly when the plane came near it, the time we saw it the sky was quiet. We got binoculars and looked at it. it seemed to be a line shape, going from very bright to very dim, seeming to have a little light flash once in a while. the sky seemed a bit foggy except where the light object was the moon seemed to be darker then normal. Eventually the light just seemed to disappear. Then the moon was weird like in the movies where the clouds just part not fluffy like clouds, they seemed thick and dark slowly parting away from the moon. After the moon was revealed again and the light was gone at least 10 planes came over head.
