Watching for the Blue Moon on 08/29/23. Clear sky so I was star watching. I saw what I think was a satellite going South to North. It was in location of Big Dipper. Watching some dim Stars above the Big Dipper I noticed a Star flash. I watched this dot size object flash pure White. This object kept getting bigger. It looked like it was coming in from outer space. It did not come from N, S, E, or West. It came straight down from the Sky! It kept getting closer towards earth and it would Flash pure white. It would Flash about every 10-20 seconds as it got closer. It started looking rectangular & the Flash reminds me of a rocket slowing down its decent to Earth. As it got closer it was a rectangular object with a Real White Bright bottom that lit up the whole bottom of Object. I could not see the top of the object only the bottom. I could only see it when it flashed. The bottom was rectangular & the ends of the rectangle were on an angle tilted up from the bottom about 30 degrees. When it got closer to Earth it slowed down & went North of my location. No sound at all from such a big object. I've seen objects in the Skies above my property Before but nothing like this. I could relate this to anything I have ever seen in my life & I am 63! First time I could say it maybe an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon! I see a lot of planes, Black Hawks, Chinook helicopters being fairly close to Grayling Military Base. This was a UFO!

My Girlfriend and I went and rented a cabin on Clear Lake, at approx 11:00pm Sunday night I took my Girlfriend out on the boat in the middle of clear lake. Once we made it to the middle of the lake we hear what sounded like a mass about of birds on a near by island. On the lake at this time there was it was so quiet I could hear everything and the sky was crystal clear. About that time, I had noticed a red orb in the far distance just sitting there. A few minutes later we had noticed 2 red orbs that started to move across the sky slowly, then all of the sudden they shot aross the sky and hovered. Next, these objects would shoot straight up at incredible speeds and on angles I have never seen before. At that time one of the objects disappreard. The remaining object then started to move twards me and my girlfriend. This object then came direcly over the top of the boat. There was no noise what so ever, and the object had 3 lights 2 red and one green. It wa! s more in a bomerang shape. Once it was over us it shot to a different part of the sky where a giant orange orb showed up the the sky. This red/green object moved twards this new orange object. At this same time 2 giant white objects appreard close to the orange obj. the seems to get very bright and then went out. All this lasted for over 40 min. I am prior Airforce, and I can tell you this was no drone, plane, or anything I have ever seen in my life. The way that the green/red obj was moving across the sky was just incredible. Just wanted to share my story!
