Want more UFO information: http://goo.gl/KoLIb
In the summer and fall of 2004, thousands of people in the Chicago area reportedly saw a large triangle-shaped collection of lights. Was it a giant spacecraft? Was it multiple crafts? Or maybe, it was just illumination flares sent up in the air as a hoax. Watch the video and decide for yourself.
Using science software to vett UFO videos to see if they are legit should never be a negative thing. We want our experts to focus their efforts on the cases that defy all testing. Using astronomy software should be a welcome habit when applicable. To all, keep hunting and keep looking up!!

To give you an idea of how accurate Stellarium is. The time the Earth rotates in 1 second, and that movement in the sky is 1 arc-second. Not noticible to the naked eye. The software is accurate up to a precision of 1 arc-second from 0 A.D. - 4000 A.D for most objects, according to the software manual. The software can control a telescope as well. With this precision backing it, you cannot refute it.That is the kind of fingerprint accuracy was talking about.

Agreed Mandingo. Good point. I will also say that with all our mobile devices, there are many free planetarium softwares out there to download for phones. A good one is Google Sky App. If someone is video taping a UFO, or what they think to be a UFO. Tape it!! Then check as soon after the event as possible with your phone,it might just be stars. Stars can often put on some real flashy shows at times if they are real bright,reds,greens,blues refracting off the atmosphere.

Honestly I wanted to kick you off your high horse so bad GLore. The software is crazy awesome. Wish more would do something like this when a video has a date, may save tons of wasted time if it does not pass the sniff test of a scientific tool like this. You sir won a subscriber.

Never thought of printing it. Took it farther than I mandingo. I would not fault the folks that made the video. That took courage. If more came out with hard evidence, if 10 percent were legit, we would know much more. Thanks for taking the effort.

holy crap. I did the stellarium thing. I also took the frame from the video GalaxyLore said said to focus on. I printed the frame out with my printer. Poked holes with a pencil on the 5 points of light. Played with the software and zoomed it out so it matched the size of the printed frame. I had to angle the paper just a bit, suppose due to camera angle or something. I could look though the holes at my monitor and I would be damed if every hole lined up. Jaw dropped. Tinley Park is stupid. stars

I went and Googled Stellarium.It is like the first friggin link.So I spend about an hour going through the software and retraced what TheGalaxylore said.It is pretty damn sound. I could see what the dude was saying.The guy is no dumbass either.I took a class in high school and what he is stating is not bull. Plus his channel profile shows some high level education.This video is shitty quality, waste of time really.You all want the truth.Put some effort into it.Then handle the truth. suckbunnies.

Unfortunate this video does not reflect 3 red lights moving. All that can be examined is the video. It does accurately depict star locations. It is 5 stars. Little more than a 3 point triangle. I agree there is many triangles in the sky. However there is only 1 Altair, Vega, Deneb, and 2 close companion stars that clinch the deal. This is very much a IFO. Identified Flying Object. If there is something you see next time, hope you have a camera, I would love to see it and get just as excited.

"Somebody"? I saw them that night. I was walking around with some friends in Kimberly off 167th. PEOPLE saw it. Ask TP Police. There are billions of stars, therefore hundreds of millions of triangles, sure. But there were only 3 red lights and they were in complete contrast of the night sky. They moved, and did so with direction and deliberation. I spend plenty of time looking at stars. If you skeptics saw these "stars," you'd either be sure they weren't or that you were on LSD.
