Michigan witnesses report hearing a "fizzle, pop, crackle" sound as an "intense" white flash of light went off in the sky followed by a "wide, long, glowing space" that seemed to sparkle for 20 seconds on October 16, 2010, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The group was sitting near a corn field on a clear, half moon, night when the sound drew their attention to the sky.

"We looked to see what had happened, high in the sky to the east, southeast, we saw a wide long glowing space," the reporting witness stated. "This was not a object, more like a trail. It was uniform from end to end and took up perhaps 20 percent of the sky. As I watched it I could see sparkles in the glowing. And it uniformly faded out. Not end to end or top to bottom. The thing just faded out. It lasted perhaps. 20 seconds."
