The report, as filed

Me and my family we’re on a trip at the KOA in Ludington,Michigan. On Oct.10 approximately 11:30pm were all the stars are at its brightest. I witnessed 7lights moving through the sky. It’s like normally if the clouds are moving it looks like the stars are to. And this time they were all 7 of them traveled in the same direction like they were all connected. One by one they would disappear slowly. I tried to get my family to look but by the time they looked they pretty much disappeared. I saw many other things moving in the sky that night I’m sure some were meteors but there were lights just passing through each other all night it was something else and it was beautiful to see!

Ludington, MI

At approximately 22:47 on June 27, 2014, while sitting on our screened-in porch overlooking Lake Michigan three of us observed an Orange/red sphere moving basically south to north. It was too bright to be an aircraft, and didn't have flashing marker lights. Our view is from the eastern shore facing west - so it couldn't have been light reflecting off of an aircraft. This was a fairly calm night and we couldn't hear any noise from the object. It covered the distance from south to north in a minute or two. It is hard to judge the altitude maybe several hundred to a thousand feet from the lakes surface. The cottage porch is about 30 yards from the surf line and 80 feet above the water. While we were wondering what it could have been at 22:57 ish another object the same as previously described glided by along a slightly more east/north track from south to north like the first one.
