White and gray UFO in Illinois

Summary

A 1965 report describes an unidentified aerial phenomenon near Rolling Meadows, Illinois. A witness observed white objects resembling metal, which later turned gray as they flattened. The objects were visible for at least 30 seconds, but the observer could not locate them again upon returning to the initial spot. The sighting was made visually from inside a car, and although a 50-degree elevation was recorded, it was considered possibly inaccurate due to the observation through the windshield. No photographs were taken, and no physical evidence was found. The report concluded that the sighting might have been a reflection from a light source.

The description and behavior of the objects suggest an unusual aerial phenomenon, though no further data was obtained to confirm its nature. This case is part of the many UFO reports analyzed during the Cold War, when authorities sought both natural and extraterrestrial explanations for unidentified aerial phenomena.
