Cigar UFO over Michigan
© MUFONA Croswell, MI, couple may have seen the same cigar-shaped UFO twice in one evening.

A Croswell, MI, couple reported two encounters with a cigar-shaped object that was bright white "with a dark spot in the middle," according to August 16, 2011, testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

During a clear blue sky, the first observation was at 7:20 p.m. on August 15, 2011, when the couple was sitting outside on a porch and noticed an "ibuprofen-shaped object, bright white with dark spot in the middle at about airplane height."

"Moved at about the same speed an airplane would," the reporting witness stated. "No wings. It was not an airplane. It moved in straight path and seemed to be moving farther away (growing slightly smaller)."

Then looking through binoculars, they noticed flames coming out of one end "as if propelled by fire."

"It looked like, perhaps, a missile, although I have never seen a missile. It also looked like what I would imagine a thruster that falls off a space shuttle might look like. I saw this object in the same area, and moving in the same direction of sky where I have seen the orange yellow orbs, which I have made past reports on. We lost sight of object when it moved past the tree line."

They included a sketch of the object with their first report.
