The Orb/Sphere randomly appeared out of nowhere around mid sky. The craft hovered for about 2 seconds and then shot towards the ground.

I had just got off from work and headed home to Pekin Illinois. I was coming down Veterans Drive towards pekin and was slowing down next to Menards for the stop light. At that point I saw an extremely bright White Orb/Sphere randomly appear out of nowhere mid sky above the South Pekin area and hovered for about 2-3 seconds. It then shot towards the ground at an unbelievable speed. There appeared to be a white foggy circle around the object. This happened at 21:48. I was facing 188 Degrees South at the time I spotted the Orb/Sphere. I attempted to locate the object for approximately a half hour but was unable to spot it again. However I had noticed there were search lights in the sky that had started sometime after I had seen the object. They appeared to be coming from the North.
