Sphere over Chelsea, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
27 year old daughter saw what appeared to be 3 very close objects emitting short thick plumes behind them. Pulled vehicle over so I could look but the object(s) were heading away to the east toward Detroit. First impression was a asteroid, but when my daughter and her boyfriend put their binocs on them they thought they looked like 3 orbs. Could not tell if they were joined or not. Could distinctly see 3 plumes. Military bomber perhaps? Never saw plane like that before if it was. It kept flying at altitude at a steady rate of speed. Hopefully more people noticed it. Weather was clear and sunny.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #113322). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

White light shot in front of my car, not high enough for a plane or shooting star. No blinking light, like a plane, way too fast to be a plane and it was cloudy, so no stars were visible. Only took l second and it was gone. Seen heading north just north of I-94 and M-52
