I’ve waited my whole life for something extraordinary and it happened.

I’ve waited my whole life for something extraordinary and it happened.
This is my story.


Cedar Springs Michigan; about two weeks ago. 


As I was driving down a country road a mile from my house, straight ahead is a giant field with only a few houses that can see this field. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted what looked like a drone flying above the field. Nearby, a car was parked off the road, and I assumed it belonged to someone piloting that drone. As I approached a stop sign at an intersection where a dirt road branched off, the parked car pulled away.

Curiosity piqued, I pulled over to the shoulder of the dirt road to get a better look. I had heard about the drone sightings in New York and New Jersey, and I’ve followed those stories for a while. Being obsessed with space, I hoped that maybe this drone was something special. But as I scrutinized it, it appeared to be just an ordinary drone.

I turned off my car, and the sound of the drone's propellers filled the air. It hovered silently for a moment before maintaining a consistent height and gliding away in a certain direction. Eager to get its attention, I started flashing my headlights—high beams, low beams, high beams again—pleading silently, "Please come back! I want to see more of you!" As the drone momentarily vanished behind passing clouds, I decided to call my friend Rose on my laptop. I didn’t have a cell phone, just my laptop connected to a Jetpack Wi-Fi.

Just as I began to explain what I was seeing, I noticed a light reappearing in the sky. This time, it was a white light, and it was coming back toward me. I exclaimed to Rose, "It's coming! It’s coming!" To my astonishment, I saw not one, but two white lights in the sky. I thought, "Rose, there are two of them!" It felt as though they were looking right at me.

As I glanced down, I noticed that Rose wasn’t responding, and suddenly my laptop—originally at 40% battery—shut off without warning. A wave of fear washed over me as I turned around, scanning for any other lights or vehicles in the area. The two lights seemed to maintain their focus on me. No longer could I hear the sound of propellers; it was eerily silent.

I continued to watch as they drew closer, almost as if they were observing me. Then, one of the lights illuminated the woods briefly, resembling a camera flash or an x-ray scan, lighting up the trees for a moment before fading back into darkness. I pondered why they had done that. Perhaps it was just a passing car's headlights, I thought, but deep down, I felt something more significant was happening.

As the two lights began to move away, I noticed they gradually got closer together, merging into one. They pulsated rhythmically, splitting apart and coming back together, almost like they were connected by an unseen force. It was a mesmerizing sight, and I couldn’t tear my eyes away as they flew at a consistent height, maintaining their elevation as they moved in the same direction they had initially come from.

I felt compelled to follow them, so I pulled away, keeping them in my line of sight. They flew quickly, gaining distance on me, but I continued to watch as they soared into the early night sky. The last thing I saw was the pulsating light disappearing into the horizon, leaving me in stunned silence. It was the first time my jaw had dropped in disbelief, realizing that what I had witnessed was something extraordinary—something that had started as an ordinary drone but transformed into an inexplicable experience.

When I’m telling you it was all just weird. It was a drone and then it wasn’t.

This happened in cedar springs Michigan. The corner of Becker and Meyers lake.
