UFOs SPOTTED IN TWO MICHIGAN CITIES
UFO ROUNDUP Volume 4 Number 31 November 25, 1999 Editor: Joseph Trainor Masinaigan@aol.com

On Tuesday, November 16, 1999, the witness, Justin, spotted a UFO in Saginaw, Michigan (population 69,100), a city on Interstate Highway I-75 approximately 101 miles (166 kilometers) northwest of Detroit.

"The UFO moved from the west to the east," Justin reported, "It moved slowly, stopped in mid-air and then moved on. I seen it from a residential area, but it was hard to tell where it was hovering because of the size and speed of this thing." He described the UFO as having "three lights with two right behind them."

"My friends and I were walking down the street, and suddenly we thought this thing was slowing down. We all stopped to look at the object, and, as we did, the object started moving about. My friends and I were all afraid of it, and we began to run toward our homes." (Many thanks to Ben Field for this report.)

The same night, at about 7 p.m., Paul Williston reported that he "and several other" motorists were "traveling on U.S. (Route) 131 about twenty miles north of Grand Rapids, Mich. (population 193,700). It took over 30 seconds to travel about 70 percent (of the sky) to the horizon."

"It had a comet-like appearance with an extremely bright central body and a very long trailing tail," Williston reported, "It was brilliant emerald green in color, fading into white as the object began to break up it passed beyond the eastern horizon, and I lost sight of it."

"The most surprising thing was its very slow, almost controlled flight that did not seem to decrease in altitude. It really seemed to travel roughly parallel to the ground, and actually seemed to disappear over the eastern horizon." (Many thanks to Steve Wingate of Skywatch International for this news story.)
