My son and I where BBQ when I noticed a an extremely bright object over the city of Evanston (10 miles to the south) within about 30 seconds the object was nearly over head. It started to make very large turns to the East and West, hovered a few times a then shot across the sky and out of sight almost instantanious. I was watching the object and my three year old son noticed it on his own. There was a military transport flying East to West at the time, leaving a contrail at ~10-15,000 ft. (possibly on approach to Hill AFB (~70 miles to the West).
