Full Description & Details

Around 8pm on March 30th, 2006, my boyfriend and I were walking the dog when we saw this bright orangish-red orbish looking light in the sky. So we stood there for a little while and watched it. After about 3 minutes, we started walking again. While we walked, we kept watching the area where we saw it, to see if it was behind the houses or trees. We didn't see it anywhere. When we reached the end of the block, there it was again. Just floating there. Then we stood there for about 2 more minutes. We ran the rest of the way back to my house and told my dad. (My uncle saw one when he was my age in Rochester Hills). I wanted to get my camera to take a picture of it or record a video. But when we got back outside, it was totally gone.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

No, it was so weird. Too low to be a star, not a planet (it moved at least a couple city blocks within a matter of seconds), definitely not the moon, birds, or clouds. Not even close to being a man-made object.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before, they really scared me. Now, I really believe in them. I didn't really know much about them.
