Illinois Man Records Sky Object Over Fox Lake No One Can Explain

Fox Lake is one of the more scenic places in Illinois. It's also the place were a strange object was just spotted hovering over the water and a man captured the unexplained phenomena on video.

If you've never been to Fox Lake in Illinois, this is what it looks like on a beautiful day. It's a village in Lake County.

According to the National UFO Reporting Center, Fox Lake, Illinois was the scene of a bizarre flying object appearance late at night on August 13, 2025. At around 10:35pm that night, a man said that he saw a large light seem to hover over the waters of Fox Lake much brighter than an airplane and making no sound. At first he thought it might be a rocket, but then it slowed down and stopped. You really should watch the video that he shared on the NUFORC site. I've never seen anything quite like it. His video is 47 seconds long. According to his description, the encounter lasted around 5 minutes.

He mentioned that Fox Lake is about 40 miles from O'Hare International Airport. I have to wonder if it might be a large drone. If that's the case, what is it doing over Fox Lake this late at night? There might be a conventional explanation, but I still haven't heard any rational theories to explain what he saw that night yet. Call Mulder and Scully because the truth is out there.
