Fireball in the sky over small lake in Michigan's EUP.A round flash of multicolored ( the colors of the prism) light flew behind the treeline. It was a fireball that left a tail, perhaps only as an after image. The object seemed large and moved out of the east sky going west into the treeline in front of Spectacle Lake in Bay Mills Township, Michigan. It was incredibly fast. It's not unusual for me to wake up between 3 and 4 in the morning, but I don't usually pull the blinds aside to look out the window. For a few seconds, I kept looking looking to see if there would be more, but there wasn't, so I lay back down and looked at the clock; it was 3:33 a.m. It was impossible to see where it went down, if it did, because of the treeline across the street in a very rural area. Behind the treeline there is a small lake, Spectacle Lake, and behind the lake there is a very large ridge called Mission Hill. Fireball sightings are common here. It is said they are looking out for us. Also, it is common for women to wake up between 3 and 4 in the morning. It is said we hear Mother Earth calling out.((NUFORC Note: We presume the date of the incident is recorded correctly by the witness, but it occurs to us he may have meant to type 05/12/01. We will check with the witness. PD))((Response))Dear Sir: The fireball report for 4/12/01 at 3:33 a.m. is the correct date. A friend who i hadn't seen for a few weeks asked me to post it.
