saw long string of lights and watched it hover atop some trees.when it turned to the left i saw that it was circular and large. i knew what i was seeing was a ufo . after it turned a little, it then we down rather fast behind some trees and disappeared.

on november 16th my two daughters, three grandchildren and myself left my home on hjelte road (eight miles north of elk rapids) and went north on us31 towards eastport. my daughter went down a side road called nichols to pay a bill. when we started back towards the highway i noticed a huge object in the sky to our left at approximately 150 ft ahead of us.when i put my window down to listen for an engine, i heard nothing.the object was surrounded by green and white lights. i said "what the hell is that" and pointed to the object. at this time we were at the stop sign off nichols road,next to us31. my two daughters got out of the car. the object glided slowly atop the trees in front of us.it began to tip slowly to the left and then i could see that it was round and very large, probably the size of a football feild and a half. my daughters got scared and jumped back into the car.at that time the craft sped up and dropped straight down behind the trees towards the west, and all the lights went out at once.i dont know whether it crashed but it was gone. i have lived here forever and have never seen such a thing before, and i am 57 years old. i know what i saw was a ufo of some sort.
