UFO I saw last night(3/25/09)

I was outside having a smoke at about 10:00PM EST(GMT-5) on March 25 in northern Oakland County, Michigan. When I was just about finished this object appeared and was moving very slowly towards and over my house. There was a thick cloud cover and I would estimate that the lowest clouds were no more than 3000ft. This object was below the cloud layer. I would estimate the height of it at 1500-2000ft and it's speed at roughly 100mph. It moved towards the west at a constant speed. It didn't speed up or slow down while I was watching it. The entire viewing lasted for about 1 minute.

I had no camera with me, and made no attempt to try and get my camcorder. There wasn't enough time. So, I know this topic won't prove anything, but I decided to post it anyway in case someone else saw it or something like it recently in the same area.

I made a rough jpg of what I saw on MS Paint to give some visual of what it was. There were 3 lights in a straight line, the outer ones being solid white lights and the inner one was a pulsing red light. It's hard to describe the red one, but it would slowly fade out until it was almost completely dark, then go back to a brighter red. I saw no FAA lights on it. It moved in the direction of the arrow on the jpeg file. In all my years living at this house I have never seen anything like it. The other key information is that it made no sound whatsoever. I can hear commercial jets flying over 30,000ft, but this thing was pretty close and I heard nothing. No rotors, no jets, no propellers. The last odd thing about the event was that as it was passing over, our horse went crazy. He started bucking up and was hitting the fence and making loud noises. Foxes and other animals in the trees nearby were also making very loud screeching noises. They stopped as soon as the object passed by. Could be coincidental, but the timing was strange.

That's about it really. I wish I had some evidence, but I'm not too upset about it. It was fascinating to watch and I'm definitely going to bring my camera out with me from now on.

Thats a good story. I wish you would have taken some footage to keep the debunkers at bay.

It's a personal account. There's nothing to debunk.

On-topic. Thanks for relating this, Bosko. I agree that the timing of the animals behavior to this sighting is less-than coincidence. Let me ask, have you seen other unexplained aerial phenomenon where you saw this? (I'm assuming at home, rural(?) country-side?)

Listening.

I've never seen anything out of the ordinary around here. The most common things to see in the air here are a few commercial aircraft flying very high up and small prop planes on occasion. I live in a rural area which is mostly small farms & forests.

I have seen the disturbance in animal behavior in connection with other (paranormal) phenomena, and I have seen it on other UFO reports too.

I suspect that UFOs may not be what we tend to think they are

Anyway, the animal behavior confirms (from my perspective) that you saw something unusual.

Keep a camera loaded on your hip and get us a picture next time!

Sadly, I have a really nice HD camcorder but no time to get it. Wish I had with me, but I definitely wasn't expecting to see anything. The only thing is that it's very hard to get good image focus at night. I'll bring it with me when I go outside from now on though. Anything is better than nothing I guess

Hi Bosko,
Just my "$o.o2" worth.
I have had "Many" self acknowledged experiences myself, and this is the forum to discuss our "Unexplainable" experiences, and one is amazed at the similarities between 2 totally different sightings wit such similarities.
Though, I do have to admit that the "Smoking Gun Photo/film/evidence" would be ideal for the discussion, I have found it almost impossible to have the required equipment with you/me 24/7, which is frustrating for the "Tangible" evidences of these discussions.
There is a lot more to our "Occupation" of this planet and your story is as important as any other here on the ATS forums.
Thanks for sharing and keep your eye's to the skies!!
