| Description | The witness, while en route to Chicago and flying over Lake Michigan, observed a silvery, spherical object, resembling a pinball in color and shape, moving slowly from northwest to southeast. The UAP was below the plane’s altitude, estimated between 10,000-15,000 feet, and was compared in size to a beach ball. The sighting occurred over a 30-second duration, with the object eventually disappearing beyond Godfrey’s Ridge. The witness, familiar with local aviation routes, confirmed that the UAP did not resemble any known aircraft or follow typical flight paths. |
