May 22, 2016, as outlined in MUFON case 76537, in which an Illinois based witness had been commuting between locations near Spring Grove in McHenry County, Illinois. The event occurred at approximately 9:30 PM local time.

The observer reported seeing a large, triangular aircraft “at an estimated height of 200 feet above ground,” which the witness was able to drive close enough to nearly pass directly under it. The driver turned around and returned to the location, and over the course of one minute the aircraft began to execute an apparent banking turn, in which it angled one of its edges toward the ground as it continued to move slowly through the sky.

The Inquisitr website also reported on the incident, noting that, “The sightings have helped to sustain rumors in Pentagon black project conspiracy theory circles that the U.S. government is conducting a series of late-stage flight tests of a new generation of ‘black triangle’ stealth reconnaissance aircraft.”

Illinois has a history involving observation of large triangle aircraft like these, with one notable incident that occurred in St. Clair county, southwestern Illinois, on January 5, 2000. The incident began at around 4:00 AM, on the date in question, and involved police officers from multiple districts that were responding to the early morning observation of a similar large, slow-moving triangular aircraft. One officer managed to obtain an indistinct polaroid photograph of the craft as it moved away from him

It’s all a publicity stunt by Doritos. ;-)

I saw one of these

without the advertising sign, at night, driving to work one night. Low on the horizon, in and out of view, it was startling. When I caught up to it, it was hovering over a clearing on the other side of a stand of trees. I didn't know it was a blimp until I got out of the car and heard the engines.
