Location of Sighting: Newaygo, Michigan
Date of Sighting: August 23, 2019
Time of Sighting: 11:35 PM EDT
Description: I was coming home late from work and it took me five minutes to get home from there. I looked up, because I enjoy the stars and they were extra shimmery. Almost at the same moment I looked up a “star-like” light moved suddenly upwards and quickly dimmed out of sight. It lit up again a couple seconds later and repeated lighting up and going out, while traveling in an almost square pattern. It finally started going west and went out completely. I have seen lights like this many times. Only recently have I familiarized myself with UFO conspiracies so I decided to stargaze a bit longer. About ten minutes after the first light show, another lit up east of where I saw the first (could be the same light). This seemed about the same distance away which was very far. This one though, didn’t dim for a few seconds and traveled in a zigzag type pattern. Then of course that one traveled out of my vision. It appears in the same instant as a shooting star, irrelevant, but cool. Approximately 10 more minutes pass and near the first lights’ appearance, a much brighter (closer) light came into view above my house. But, almost as if because of my acknowledgement, the light changed course (going “behind” my house). Before it was out of my view, it also traveled in an erratic pattern while lighting up and dimming out. I don’t know what these are, but I see them whenever I stargaze and I am ever curious of them.

I think I saw the same thing just the other night (Sept 19th) in SE Michigan. Your report is the only one I have found so far that sounds almost exactly like what I saw. I have been scouring the internet for the last couple days trying to find similar reports and was getting really discouraged.
