Location: Ann Arbor, MI, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Low flying, stationary pulsating white light near S. 7th St and Princeton Ave, Ann Arbor.

This event occurred on a cloudy night in Ann Arbor on South 7th Street, close to the intersection of Princeton Avenue.

Walking home from work sometime approximately during fall of 2014, while talking on the phone, I looked up and noticed a large white blinking light, very nearly directly overhead, slightly towards the northwest. I am not certain of the altitude of the light, but it could not have been more than a few hundred feet in the air, based on my perception of it being close, and since the cloud cover was relatively low (I could see no planes, stars, etc., and the clouds seemed to pass around the light occasionally).

As I watched the light it did not appear to move, but remained in one place. The light was a bright white/yellow and pulsated from completely bright to completely dark about once a second. I watched the light for about 2 minutes and relayed the strangeness of it to the person on the phone.

After about 2-3 minutes of spectating, the light either turned off or was engulfed by the clouds.

I did not identify any sound coming from the light.

I waited another 5 minutes before leaving the area and did not see anything more.
