A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My experience with this cloud was out of this world. Personally I had been going through some things. Defeated and heartbroken something said look out the window. Unaware of the beautiful present the awaited me outside, I looked out the window and was immediately mesmerized. The cloud had 2 contrails coming from it, my first reaction was is something going to crash? Once I noticed the this was not a cloud and something was going on I grabbed my phone and snapped two photos. Other than the contrails the cloud kinda just floated away, I called my family and told them I had experienced something very unusual, and I wanted to share my photo with the world. Something was watching me in my backyard and I don't know what it was! Photos of what appear to us to be contrails. PD

While riding down US Highway 19 at around 11:40 PM. I noticed bright white lights in the sky that were not moving. I asked my daughter did she see it and she said yes. When we moved closer to the area the lights were, I could tell it wasn't a plane by how bright the lights were and how still the object was. The lights were bright like lights at a football game but coming from in the air. There was a shadow in a V shape from a light being cast from the top of the object. After about 45 seconds of intensely looking at the object, the lights in the front of it looked as if it pointed up and the object disappeared. We both looked around the sky in every direction but we no longer saw the object. It was too fast to be a plane or drone. It was also way to larger to be a drone and to round to be a plane. Other drivers were on the road at the time that may can confirm this.

Last night I went to the store with my roommate. As we were leaving I looked toward the Flint River. In the sky were 8 red dots in the formation of the Big Dipper but upside down. The lights were slightly blinking. As I watched all but one of the lights started moving, all in different directions. As the lights moved one by one they disappeared. The last sight of it I had there were three dots left, two moving and one stationary.
