Sphere over Brownstown, MI

The report, as filed

It was 10:00 p.m. on July 23rd. It was a clear, dark night with stars clearly visible in the sky. A bright orange circular object appeared from line of sight in a suburb above the house across the street. It traveled over our house, making no noise, and continued along the same direction moving quickly across the sky from the NE to the SW, until it was obscured by our house. The size was comparable to 30’ diameter sphere. fter the third object appeared I grabbed my phone and did a video of the object as it traveled across the sky. The video is not good quality and did not show the color as orange and it was in person. I noted they traveled about the height that a helicopter would use. After studying the night sky in between sightings I made some observations. We live in a high traffic area for planes. This was not a plane, nor a helicopter. It made no sound. Plane traffic had stopped in the area. They normally circle above us at varying heights. It was like nothing I have ever seen. I also noted that two helicopters were moving around the area within 10 minutes of the second object, about 5 minutes before the third object appeared. This also coincided with the obvious lack of airplane traffic in the sky. The helicopters traveled in the same direction as the objects eventually disappearing into the distance.
