Occurred: 1966-10-15 20:30 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2019-08-06 20:21 Pacific
Duration: 20-30 seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Zion, IL, USA

Shape: Light

We spotted a large extremely bright light in the sky, maybe half the size the moon appears as a half moon, but it was hard to tell the distanceIt was 8:30 at night, near Chicago, so it had long been dark.

The light showed brightly for a number of seconds then started to move slowly to the north, slowly at first but steadily moved faster. It dimmed as it increased speed, shot to the north and faded to nothing.

I was a kid, 14 years old, so I couldn't judge distance or speed, but just before it vanished, it was going at a very high rate of speed.
