Witness account

Narrative

Time: 6/17/26 at 0425 AM Location: Traverse City, Michigan on West Bay. Looking North I work 3p-3a and I got home late. I went out on my patio around 0420 AM and noticed a really bright white light moving slowly around the sky. I convinced myself it was a satellite initially but then it released those other lights and I have no clue what it was. Even if not an unidentified object, please help me figure it out!!! submitted by /u/gingernurse123
