Location of Sighting: Rockford, Michigan

Description: A very bright red light stayed stationary in the sky to the southwest of Bostwick Lake near Grand Rapids, Michigan. The light slowly moved toward us and passed slowly directly over us. We observed a central bright red light surrounded by a perfect circle of dimmer red lights. The object began to move more quickly and then seemed to fade out. It did not disappear into the distance, but may have entered a cloud. I saw it again in the distance to the the south of Grand Haven the next night and again it faded out or entered a cloud. Both times fireworks shows were in progress.

Note: Were these lights related to fireworks? Fireworks were observed on both nights.
