Watch: Eerie fleet of UFOs filmed in Illinois

A peculiar piece of footage circulating online shows several mysterious orbs floating through the night sky in Illinois and some suspect that the odd glowing objects could be alien in nature. The intriguing sighting was reportedly occurred in late November in the community of Beach Park, but was only reported to the research organization MUFON this past week. According to the unnamed witness, the curious objects appeared to be flying in formation towards Lake Michigan and "vanished in mid air." Fortunately, despite being bewildered by what they were seeing, the observer managed to capture the remarkable sighting on film.

The puzzling video begins with a trio of lights first appearing in the sky and the initial thought it that perhaps it is a triangular UFO. However, the scene gets even stranger when the amazed witness notices what they describe as a flotilla of five additional glowing orbs suddenly appear on the horizon. To their credit, the person behind the camera does an admirable job of trying to follow the lights, thought the anomalous objects largely remain indecipherable despite the individual's best efforts to 'hunt' the UFOs.

As for what the odd objects might have been, some imaginative UFO enthusiasts have suggested that the orbs were a fleet of alien craft en route to a long-rumored secret ET base hidden beneath the surface of Lake Michigan. Most skeptically minded observers have offered more down-to-earth suggestions such as drones or lanterns. The latter explanation seems to make the most sense given the way that the orbs floated in an almost listless fashion before finally vanishing from sight. That said, what exactly the witness saw remains a mystery. Weigh in with your best guess on the nature of the eerie orbs at the C2C Facebook page.
