I was outside my HUD apartment at Pioneer Park Apartments and watched the western sky and checked the flight radar about 9:30 pm Friday may 14 2021 and scanned the aircraft band on my aircraft radio nothing but total silence strange rf interference to my ham radio 2 meters and 440 radio .and nothing was on the radar and there was no noise, the possibility an LEO satellite but I was bright white light looked like circle shape like flying at speed of aircraft It was a clear night in May 14 2021. I saw a bright white “star-like” thing in the sky. It was moving. I was looking west of Ironwood. I was in the North Hills. The bright light did not twinkle, as most stars seemed to do, but then it started to become brighter, approx 3-4 times larger and much brighter, still moving.

I was at the dog park in Ironwood, Michigan. I was just watching the stars and two lights catch my eye in the east, not too long before the moon came up. At first it appears as if two flying lights are circling one another in really bizarre ways, both going at the same speed, rising and falling in an oval pattern for the majority, sometimes speeding up a little. After a while I noticed there was a pattern, and I think what I was seeing was one very large craft with two lights on each side of it, and it was spinning and rotating. It was very high up in the sky, so high that the lights were so dim my camera wouldn't catch it, but if it was one large object, it must have been enormous. It looked quite abnormal. Watching it actually made me a little dizzy. I couldn't really say how high up it was, but it seemed very high up and the craft VERY large. I was watching it for several minutes, maybe 5-10 minutes, before it slowed down and then made a dead stop, and hoovered in the air in the same spot for the remaining time I was at the park, at least 20 more minutes, and just appeared to be two stars, one brighter one on the left and a dimmer one on the lower right. I plan to return to the same spot tomorrow night with a better camera and see if those two "stars" are still there.
