Number of witnesses: Hundreds.
Number of Objects: 5
Shape of Objects: Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Following our 4th fireworks display, a line of orange orbs were witnessed flying due north. At first 4 objects were flying equidistant in a straight line, but as they moved north the 2nd object appeared to catch up to the 1st object. From the time we first spotted them until they disappeared from view was no more than 2 minutes. They were flying below cloud level, and were completely silent.

A fifth orb followed at about 10:30pm, following the same path, at the same altitude and speed.

We are under a glide path of O'Hare, so we know and can hear aircraft landing and taking off, these were not planes. The glowing orange lights were constant, and larger than flashing plane lights. We also have a hospital helicopter landing pad in the area, and these were not helicopters. The speed and trajectory of these orbs was straight and constant. They were traveling due north, and the wind last night was easterly, which I believe rules out Chinese Lanterns or hot air balloons.

There were hundreds of folks leaving the fireworks display, and we heard many of them talking about the orbs, wondering what they could be, and taking pictures.

It's interesting to note that the sightings reported in Frederickstown, MO, and Millstadt, IL are due south of Naperville.

We note that despite thousands of sightings, there is absolutely no media coverage.
