Chicago 5/2/2012 Possible UFO

[cooney20]

Not sure what my wife and I saw on 5/2/2012 at 9PM. It was an orange glowing ball of light that looked multi-faceted fly from the south-southwest to the north-northeast lower than a typical commercial jet. It flew faster than a typical commercial jet and too large and slow to be a meteorite, no trailing tail or smoke plume either and totally silent. We were at a loss to explain this.
Anyone else see this on that night or has anyone seen anything similar?

I live in Chicago, on the northwest side, so I'd be interested in where you saw this object.
