The same night and about the same time you posted this I was walking around Glencoe, IL with some friends and several of my friends claimed to have seen exactly what your talking about. Although I missed that sighting, I have seen lots of strange lights moving around in the sky. Last week I saw what I assumed to be a satellite but then it made at 90 degree turn and shot off extremely fast.

Seems there's been a lot of activity in the skies lately. On the 1st of Aug, I saw a white orb about 50 ft in the air fly by. It wasn't a shooting star...it didn't come downward, it went across the sky.

Then last night I saw something else. The best way to describe it, I guess would be a huge glowstick zooming horizontally about 100 ft above treetop level. It went really fast. I'm guessing the size of it was apx.50 ft long. It was a whitish yellow glowing color. It was low enough that it wasn't an illusion of falling across the sky....it was moving very fast across the sky and just disappeared. I was walking back up the driveway from taking out the trash and out of the corner of my eye, saw a huge bright flash/light that lit up the sky. So I quickly turned and looked up and saw it. I have no idea what it was. It flew by and I got a 4 second or so look at it. It was rectangular, long and thin and glowing. Weird!

It could have been. I can't believe how much activity there has been lately. I've been going out every night for the past week or so. I've captured things in photos. Sure wish I could have got that thing I saw last night on film. From now on, when I go outside at night I bring a camera with me.

2 spheres with a light source, would have the same side lighten up, especially at a distance with a distant light source...
