Approx 50 ft long rectangle craft bright white lights on one end. No noise. Very close proximity to me.

When I seen it it was over the woods behind the house that was the back section of the salvage yard. I first thought it was someone trying to steal parts from the yard. I then noticed it was above the trees, I was puzzled so I kept watching. It started to scare me as it drifed toward me. I was more curious than scared as I stood in the back yard of the house. I moved away toward the north side of the lawn out of caution. It then turned slightly to the right and I could see the side of the craft. There were no markings or windows. Other than the lights in the front it had no other lights. It slowly moved toward the Saginaw bay with no noise. The elevation of the craft was aprox. a couple hundred feet of the ground intil it was out of sight. Due to the proximity to Wurtsmith AFB I attributed it to them. But it has bothered me since it happened.
