Details of Incident:
A friend of mine and I were sitting on the rocks at the shore of Lake Michigan, near Bradford
Beach. We were having a chat, looking out across the lake on a clear night. Distant on the
horizon we observed what we initially thought to be a low flying plane flying just over the
surface of the lake. The object did not have the flashing light of an airplane, rather, we
recognized it on the horizon as a fast moving red dot. The object then began to gain altitude,
at first gradually then quite radically until it seemed the object was travelling straight up.
This is when my friend and I began to wonder what the object was. Then, just as it seemed to
be gaining speed it stopped dead in the sky and sat idle for about one minute. From this idle
position it then began to dart around the sky extremely fast in what seemed a completely random
pattern, like a pinball being shot around the sky. Once again, after about one minute of this
movement it shot across the sky and once again stopped dead, high in the sky, then once again
began its pinball-like movement. The object continued to follow these seemingly random
patterns of movements for the next few minutes before it once again flew North across the
surface of the lake (or what appeared to be across the surface from a distance), gained
altitude and eventually faded from view.
I have always been extremely skeptical of UFO sightings. I am not a fanatic and would never
think to keep an eye out for anything unidentifiable in the sky. I had never seen anything
like this before and have doubts that I ever will again. Had my friend not been there to verify
this experience I probably wouldn't have believed I saw it myself. I can definitely say that
my attitude towards these types of stories has changed, though, I still find much of it
difficult to believe because of all of the false claims and attention seekers out there. What
I can say to anyone reading this is that the above events DID happen. You, just as I, can draw
your own conclusions as to what or who it was.
