Sitting in bed and noticed a very bright glowing orb very high in the sky. It has sparks occasionally flying off randomly at any side; one minute there would be several sparks the next few minutes there would be only a few. It moved in all different directions - up, down, left, and right - and often hovered in one stationary place. Over the 45 minutes that I watched it, it moved slowly in the west direction until it was out of view. Got a small video of it but couldn’t see any of the sparks with my camera quality.

An extremely large, translucent and Pyramid shaped object seen spinning and pulsing a deep blue light across the neighborhood . Thought it was police lights at first , but they were darker and lit up the entire block across from my house. The lights pulsed at a steady frequency, and the power on our block never went out. This implies it may have started the transformer malfunctions seen around the city , but it was definitely the source of light from almost every video I've seen so far of the sky. It was almost invisible to the eye, probably using an electromagnetic resonating device as a cloak. I could see the outline of the object and it's three sides as it spun at rapid speeds. I ran towards it and tried to get it to take me but it shrunk and disappeared ? Looked like Antman the super hero when he goes into the subatomic realm. Lasted anywhere from 30 seconds to 90 seconds before dissapearing from sight. The object was not emitting a sound but rather a vibration that I could feel in my ears and body. Probably infrasound of anywhere from 0-0.00002hz . Object hovered and spun about 50 to 75 feet above the northeast corner of the cemetery on Martin just east of Gratiot. Looked to be about 100 feet across all sides of the base. I Have been feeling it's vibrations for about two weeks and it is still there and tangibly detectable. Once inside the house I found my ankle was swollen and I didn't know how, my roommate heard it but was in a trance like state upstairs and said she could not get up to look. My second room mate saw everything that I saw and felt the vibrations as well. She has also been hearing them hanging out, outside of the house for a while. It is still out there somewhere I can hear it now.0

I heard this story second-hand from my coworker today. He said approximately yesterday at 5:30 he was heading down Gratiot here in Roseville and observed a craft moving south. He said the craft had then tilted for a moment, when he said to himself "That don't look like an airplane." He then said the craft hovered there for a couple minutes, while him and his wife had been scrambling to find a better place to park the car and look. He described it to me as being above or around I-94 a few miles south, around 400-500ft in the air, just hovering.

On Sept. 16, 2021, at 7:52 Pm my Mom, sister and I were driving home from appointments when we noticed four bright white objects hovering in the western sky. (See photo’s attached) While we were stopped at the traffic signal on Gratiot Ave. at 13 mi. rd., I photographed them. It took approximately 3 min’s to drive home from that corner. At which time we saw some were still there. We all went into the house. Five minutes later I came back out and they were gone.

So I was driving home I saw this white light in the sky, at first I thought it was a star or maybe a helicopter but as I continued to observe it and got closer i saw the lights one bright light in the middle but faint lights on the corners of this triangle-like thing in the sky. I was tempted to record the thing but I was driving and was kinda in shock I guess, only got a view of it as it was passing above me kinda all I could see was it was it was triangle-like and had white lights on it and when I decided to turn around to confirm what I had seen (which was at most 3 minutes) and it was gone, no sight of the thing.
