I thought it was a reflection of one of the lights until I saw the flash. Is it still a trick of the eye? Other folks claim to have seen it, too.

Did anyone see a UFO last night traveling from east to west on Northshore Ave around 10:42 pm? I have a video from my dash camera. It moved so fast that at first I thought it was an asteroid, but then I realized it couldn't be.
What I saw was about the size of a truck and flying roughly as high as a helicopter not very high at all. It happened in about two seconds and there was absolutely no sound.
In the video, you can hear me yell a bad word because I genuinely couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Did anyone else see this? Do you think the government has technology capable of doing something like that?

Can’t post pics in the comments, but two other neighbors responded claiming to have seen it from two different locations as well.
Also id like to add, I’m well aware we’re near the inbound traffic lanes for O’Hare, I hear the planes all day and can here them while I’m typing this, but that clearly didn’t fit the usual traffic.
That’s a shooting star.
something burning in the atmosphere maybe? would be my guess
If you actually saw it with your eyes and not just on video I’d say it’s really interesting for sure !
Looks cool !
