She felt that someone might need to know about the object she had seen. She was asked to -v~rite a report in h e r or..m words. This was reques~ed after attempting to get all the information prescribed in AFR 200-2. It is this officer's opinion th~t the sighting was either a helicopter or aircraft. Approximately where the North Avenue beach is located is also point where several air- ways are located. The IIS system for Runway 27 at 0 'Hare would run just north of the North Avenue beach. Many times airliners will put on landing lights well out over the lake to distinguish their aircraft because or the heaV".f traffic. Combine the bright landing lights r,..ri th a revolving Grimes beacon to explain the touch of red. The landing lights from a distance appear to twinkle because of their candlepcmer.
