Michigan - 04-03-10
My family and I (4), were on 196 between Hudsonville and Zeeland, at about 10:00 PM, when my
daughter (15), pointed out to me to look at a "constellation" in the west, at about 30 degrees up
from the horizon, that was changing shape.
After watching for a few minutes, we also saw color changes in the lights. At that point, my husband
pulled off to the highway shoulder, so he could also get a good look.
We all watched the bizarre lights for a moment, and then decided to get off the highway
for a better (safer) look.
We watched the strange lights for about 15 minutes, and decided to drive to the
home on the lake that we were staying.
Through the town of Holland, we saw nothing to the west (city lights), but once on the lake, saw the same lights in the same sky area.
I seemed to us that the lights stayed in the same spot over Lake Michigan, just randomly changing shape and color. ALL 4 of
us saw this strange event.
My husband watched the event until about 12:00 AM. Not sure what we
witnessed, but it was a first for all of us.
