Occurred: 2007-10-20 21:00 Local
Reported: 2007-10-21 10:10 Pacific
Duration: 1min
No of observers: 2

Location: Grand Rapids, MI, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted beams, Changed Colo

We saw what looked like a bright star with 6 beams of light coming from it, then changed red and was gone

My son (26 yrs old ) was on our deck when he noticed this object and called me to look at it!It looked like a bright star at first and it was gliding across from west to east.( never blinking )

After about 30 seconds it became a little more oblong in shape and 6 beams of light extended from it. Two on each side and one from both ends! After a few more seconds it turned from being a bright light with beams to a solid red color and grew small very fast and then it was gone.

I have never been a big believer in UFO's but this was something really odd to us (enough for me to report it)I am a male 52 years old.
