Duration: 10 Minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Clinton Township, MI, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Extremely slow traveling white light - 5,000 feet - not a sattelite or space station

Actually these "incidents" take place between the nights of 8/27 - 8/30 2010 each night between 21:30 and 22:30.

White light traveling at about 5,000 feet moving East to West at an extremly low rate of speed. The object viewed from binoculars appeared to be a single white light (not brilliant) viewed from front, side and rear, no sound while passing and no engine. On 8/27/2010 while viewing it at 21:30 hours from my backyard I estimate it was approximately 2 miles away and even with me. I "saluted" it without the binoculars and the light faded out. I lifted the binoculars and witnessed the light reappearing approximately ten miles away (in approximately three seconds) and then went out again. On the 28th and 29th the object reappeared traveling in the same direction. My wife witnessed it with me on the 28th. On the 28th and 29th the light did not "wink out." As it was traveling in the direction of Selfridge Air Force Base I suspect it to be a predator drone ! or blimp, stealth fighter or experimental military aircraft considering the radar that would have captured it from the base and the jets that were availabe to scramble. Surprisingly I see no other reports and unusual that on three consecutive nights it has appeared. Last night, the 29th the light appeared less bright and more amber in color. During each viewing several aircraft could be seen in and around the vacinity at varying altitudes. I will be viewing to see if it reappears for a fourth consecutive night.
