Me and friend see a meteor-like UFO in the sky.
Me and my friend were taking a road trip to Chicago last night, and we decided to take the back way instead of the expressway.
As we were driving down IL-49 N, we saw what seemed to be a meteor. It was round, with an orange/yellow tint, and had a short faint tail.
At first I expected it to be an extremely big shooting star, but there was no way.
The UFO came down in the sky in a downward angle, stopped and hovered, then shot off and faded away extremely fast. What my friend and I saw was definitely in this atmosphere, but was very far away. Although it was farther away, I could tell it was a massive and circular object. I had never seen anything like it in my entire life and full-heartedly believe that we saw an actual UFO last night.
