National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 2/24/2014 20:00 (Entered as : 02242014 20:00)
Reported: 2/24/2014 5:11:56 PM 17:11
Posted: 2/27/2014
Location: East Tawas, MI
Shape: Unknown
Duration: 3 minutes
Characteristics: There were lights on the object
New type of aircraft?

It appears as if there were 3 crafts moving roughly SW. The sound was what I initially noticed because we are not near a large airport.

The lights were bright orange and looked like a fireball. One of the crafts had the burst of fire, traveled a distance, another fireball, traveled a distance and a third fireball. It almost looked like it was "using thrusters" (to use a sci-fi term).

The bursts of light were about 10 times brighter than you would see on a commercial aircraft when its white light is blinking.
