There have been a rash of sightings in the western Indiana / eastern Illinois region based on local conversations and media posts. The sightings usually consist of a pair of lights, sometimes both white and sometimes with one red or green, which appear close to each other in the night sky near the horizon. The lights will move in either a zig-zag pattern over a small section of the sky, a back and forth patter with a dipping in each stroke like a falling leaf, or rarely, a mild wobbling motion as it moves across. The light may blink in a random pattern or alternately, the colored light may blink in a steady rhythm not unlike the beacon on a plane. The common sighting lasts less than a minute. One observer who I know well said that it looked like an aircraft at first moving across the lower part of the sky. One white light and one red blinking light. At first it looked like an aircraft and since it was in the general direction of the local airport that was their first thoughts. Then as it moved across and started to move behind trees along the road they suddenly noticed it moved between their position and a taller building some distance off. It was clearly well less than 100 feet aloft. My first thought is someone playing with drones.

Where in Il/In?....I live south of Chicago in Indiana....the western edge...I haven't heard anything about the sightings but I would be willing to take a short trip if you have an area name.
