| Bright light stays in one spot for a few seconds then dims and disappears within 3 sec. I was headed west on I-94 towards Chicago from the direction of Detroit. At mile marker 90 I had looked up and noticed a bright light in the sky just North of due West. This was at the same elevation of the sun at that moment in time. If I had to guess it was in the direction of Battle Creek but the distance was not clear, maybe 10-25 miles away from my location. What I saw was a bright light in the sky at first glance I believed it to be a airplane. After closer observation I had noticed no trails in the sky and that the bright light was not moving. After observing for nearly 20 sec. ( it could have been in the sky longer but was not recognized by me until then) in the last 3 sec. of observation the bright light reduced in size 1/2 by each sec. and dimmed more and more. In a matter of 3 sec. this bright object was gone. It traveled in a path directly away from me. towards the great lake of michigan. If anyone has connections to confirm this sighting with the air control personal at Battle Creek Airport. |
