  1. I am shocked there are not others talking about the drone yesterday..We witnessed one while we were driving on I-90 outside of chicago. it was heading West but did a fairly tight turnaround going East. Distinguishable by the smaller midsection & this one had the V-shape facing downward..If anyone knows what it was doing, was it it a test or something, please post..
