Chicago UFO Examiner:
CHICAGO - JAN. 5, 2009 - A low flying V-shaped object was spotted by a Kennedy Expressway driver just before 5 a.m. at the Cumberland Exit, according to information filed with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.
The stationary craft was first visible to the man as he saw four lights in the sky - three green and one white. He noticed "divisions" between the lights.
"I could see what looked like light grey metal separating the lights, and a design that reminded me of mother of pearl coloring, shaped like frothy waves going up the metal divisions."
Sam MarantoIllinois MUFON Director Sam Maranto said Tuesday night that his office is following up on this sighting and he will have additional information soon.

The original unedited MUFON report added Jan. 9 includes the following information:
"June 12th of 2008 I saw a v-shaped object in Chicago at Belmont Ave.

"I believe the object I saw ay January 5, 2009 is the same or similar object I saw in 2008. I was going to work at 4:50 a.m. and was east bound on I-90. I had just past the Cumberland exit when I looked up and saw something partially visible in the morning sky. There was a lot of clouds, but through an open patch I could see three traffic color green lights and one white light just hanging there. At first I just stared then I realized it wasn't moving. I would estimate the height at about 750 feet.
"I stared at it and wondered if I should pull off and snap a picture with my camera phone, but decided it was too dark and probably would not come out well. I continued to watch it and noticed there were divisions between the lights, something I believed was there in 2008. I could see what looked like light grey metal separating the lights, and a design that reminded me of mother of pearl coloring, shaped like frothy waves going up the metal divisions. They appeared to me to be three dimensional. I looked to the east and could see several planes flashing in the distance coming toward O'Hare Airport.
"I once again realized there was no flashing of these lights, they were not moving in any way, just hanging behind the clouds. I watched until I was too far east to see them any longer. This took place in Cook County."
