SIGHTING: TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I was out in front of my house watching for the meteor shower that was supposed to be on tonight. I noticed a plane - lights blinking, and I could hear the sound of the engine. I then noticed that there was another light following it, and I thought it odd that 2 airplanes would be in that close proximity together, especially since the airport was quite a bit away and both crafts were high in altitude. I tried listening for the other engine of what I thought was the other plane. That light, pure white, then started to descend from the sky, and got bigger and bigger as it approached. It was like when someone throws a rock, you see it coming, and the closer it gets, the bigger it is. The only weird thing is, it wasn't perfectly round. It was almost as if it were a teardrop as it came down. As I realized it was headed right for me (or so it seemed) I started to freak out and added a few choice words to the situation. I really felt like I was in mortal danger. The minute I started freaking out, it started ascending back up into the higher altitudes and once again became a pinpoint light and then disappeared. I came back in the house and pulled the shade shut. My daughter came in 10 minutes later to tell me it was still out there, cruising around. There were 5 witnesses to this event. The young adults were out in the back yard "camping" and had a fire going when this event happened. "
