Location of Sighting: Beverly Hills, Michigan
Date of Sighting: September 30, 2017
Time of Sighting: 10:12 PM EDT
Description: I found this site because I am researching online what I saw last night (September 30th, 2017 at 10:12 PM in Beverly Hills, Michigan). I was walking my dog and I saw 4 bright amber/orange lights coming from the southeast heading to the northwest. While they were still far off they resembled a convoy of helicopters, but they made no sound and their lights were each a single glow and not blinking. They were spaced a few miles apart from each other and were heading in a steady direction and speed. It didn’t take them long for them to traverse the sky. Their speed was similar to the speed of a plane traveling overhead. These were definitely not planes, balloons, satellites, laser pointers, northern lights, helicopters, meteors or fireballs. They possibly could have been drones except the light was not “shining” or reflecting like a satellite, but was more like a perfect glowing circle or orb. As each one would past overhead, it would sort of fade out and disappear which was VERY strange. I am just wondering if anyone else saw something similar or has an explanation. Thank you.
Note: The witness said that his sighting was similar to the sighting of a bright orange light that moved across the sky in Parma Heights, Ohio on March 23, 2016.

I saw something similar around 2010. I am at 14 Mile and Southfield. What I witnessed came into sight from the west heading east. It was very large, below the clouds, and it was a hourglass shaped single object. There were no points of illumination, but rather the entire object dimly glowed with faint translucent light while there was a solid outer outline. It was so low and large that I could not gather my senses to scale the object with surrounding objects. When I think back, I sort of feel like my senses were detuned or stunned somehow. Here is exactly what my brain was saying while I watched it, “Wow, that is not an airplane or helicopter.” I’ve been watching commercial planes flying from the northwest heading to Detroit Metro Airport on and off all night. I’m seeing an outline and a reflective surface like a really high flying plane during the daylight hours. Maybe I’m catching the International Space Station passing over. That’s it. But why is it suddenly so huge, moving at the speed of a commercial airliner, below the clouds and now very low? And how can this thing not have any sound or vibration coming from it?
I went outside to have my last cigarette at 11:30 PM on Sep 30th and I just happened to look up at the sky towards the west. I saw two orange circular objects moving slowly like a plane or helicopter would move. There were no sounds. They both faded out and they were gone. Then suddenly there was a third one moving the same way. I thought, what the heck are those? I thought maybe they were flares used by the military? It was strange. I don’t know.
