Details of Incident:
Having seen something a half hour before this (report already submitted to you) {see additional reports
below}, I drove back out to
the area myself. I did spot the light, changing from white to yellow to orange and traveling what
seemed to be north/northwest. I found a high hill to position my car on and stopped. I watched it move
N and it just faded away and I could not see it anymore. I had been sitting there maybe 30 seconds.
The total sighting was about 4 minutes. Just wanted you to know that at your urging on the phone
today, I did call our little local newspaper. He said that he had gotten a call about 2 weeks ago from
someone who had seen something very similar. He is planning on putting something in the paper (without
names) and I urged him to list your website and your phone number. I also told him that you
recommended a tripod and getting time, sight duration, and direction detail. He also said that my
description was absolutely identical to the sighting that our local police officer and friend had
about 13 years ago here. Identical. 13 years ago was when Belleville had a large, large amount of
sightings.

Having seen something unusual the night before (also reported to you), my sister in law (dental
hygienist/volunteer paramedic) and my brother in law (chiropractor) and I went out on a drive. We had
heard from friends which area it was sighted in and drove down that road (SW of Belleville). At
8:02pm, rounding a corner and going west, we finally saw what our friends were talking about! Bright,
bright light, subtly changing from white to yellow to orange and was located on the passenger side
of the car. It was moving slowly, towards the north, it looked like. Decided to stop at the stop sign
to film it and get it sighted in with the binoculars. As my sister in law was coming to a stop, my
brother in law (drivers side back seat) started to get out. Unfortunately, he got out before she was
actually stopped and somehow his foot got under the car and under the cars tire, twisting his whole
leg. He was in a great deal of pain and couldn't tell us what had happened for several seconds. He got
out of the car to get control of himself and looked up and saw that the light in the sky had
disappeared! Both of us in the front seat looked and sure enough it had vanished from sight. My
brother in law later removed his shoe and sock to find much blood and a huge piece of skin ripped off
his foot (about the size of small apple). A day later he is nursing a very sore leg, especially the
twisted thigh area. He is lucky not to have a broken leg. Strange happenings. After going back to
their house, I got in my car and rode back out to the area. I didn't expect to see anything, but
didn't have anything better to do that night. I did see it again and I have filled out another report
of yours detailing. Later that night after going home, there was a helicopter that went over really,
really low over my house, N of Belleville. This is out of the norm.

I have reported sightings on the two previous days and today again it looked different. It almost
looked like one giant sparkler. The object moved only slightly and we were again looking west to
northwest. We did not watch it as much as we had the two previous nights, but tonight every time we
would watch it, it would get larger then smaller with it always being bright in color (red, blue,
yellow). There was a halo around it as well. During the time we saw it, there was a plane that seemed
to pass underneath it. Nothing happened, just that we noticed a plane going by it.
