07-31-09 23:00 Harrison twp mi fireball 3-5 minutes amber west to east over Black Creek Bay 08-05-09

Sitting around a fire with friends on Black Creek Bay Friday night just after 11:00pm, a beautiful evening with just a few clouds in the sky. A few of us as we were looking to the west across the Bay. Happen to notice two differant lights in the distance criss crossing. The South to North lights resembled the typical plane flashing in the area that we see nightly. The second set of lights coming directly toward us from the west to the east looked odd. The flashing appeared to bright of a red nature to be a planes marking lights. All of us got out of our chairs,and stood near the edge of the dock to get a better veiw. The object was approaching at a slow rate of speed, approximately around 2000 feet just above the two small clouds in the area. The object was amber in color, with the front of it flashing more. Almost like the flashs were like scanning side to side. As the object came over the bay. It's speed slowed to a complete stop directly over us. Then th! e amber color started to dim. As this occurred. The object started upward turning more white in color. This thing took off upwards faster than anything I have ever seen before. Then just like snapping your finger, gone! No smoke! No outline shape. No Pics or Vidio
