My husband and I were over a friends house on Saturday September 1,2007. We were sitting on the back porch at about 9:30 pm when we noticed a firey orange object with a white light that rotated around it moving slowly in the sky. It was heading North East over Roseville, Michigan it made no noise and left no visible trail.

As it moved past us it appeared to drop a ball of light which swirled it's way towards the ground it dimmed as it descended out of view. It then began to speed up and a smaller object the same color shot out of the front and disappeared at a rapid speed. The bigger firey object than changed from orange to black and disappeared out of sight.

Were not sure what we saw but, all 4 of us agree we never saw anything like it before.
