No of observers: 3

Location: Goetzville, MI, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Landed

We had three sightings of bright white lights shooting across the sky at extreme speeds, with the third one seeming to land/crash.

While making a pit stop on the side of the road, I saw a large white light shoot across the sky. Despite its larger than usual size, I discounted it as a meteorite. However, when we were another mile or two down the road, heading uphill, the driver saw another one shoot across the sky in front of us. After comparing stories, we realized both were headed in the same direction as we were now driving, having turned on to a side road. When we had traveled approximately another three miles, we saw an intense white light shooting directly down into a slightly wooded field area, at extremely high speeds. We attempted to see onto the property where it seemed to have come down, but were unable to see through the trees and could not proceed without trespassing.
