As reported

Unknown over Detroit, MI

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

At 6 mile and telegraph. At approx 11:55 tonight, myself and another witness heard an extremely loud roar pass over the area. I was sitting under an open window, and this clearly came from the sky. We are in a direct path for Detroit Metroit Airport. At first, i thought it was a jet coming in. But the rate of which the sound approached and dissipated was far too fast for a commercial jet. Not to mention so loud, it would have been at a much lower altitude. Ive witnessed large meteorites witnessed over multiple states. I've also witnessed jets breaking the sound barrier. This did not sound like that at all. No impact, shockwave or sonic boom was heard. The third witness, approximately 1.5 miles west, and outside during this event, heard it, but did not notice any lights either. Strangely, this past winter, we heard what sounded like pulse jets on occasion. Usually at night, once during the day. Think Nazi V1 buzz bombs. Internet searches yielded no results pertaining to aircraft making such noises in cold dense air. Somethings definitely going on over Southeast Michigan the passed few months.

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.

It was like 25 to 30 white dots high in the sky. Looked like stars was out in the day time. They were moving around and looked like they were in a formation of some sort.

I was looking out my kitchen window when I heard which I thought was an army helicopter. The sound was low and heavy. I stared at the sky waiting for it to come past, when it didn’t I assumed it went in another direction. As I’m starting to look away that’s when I noticed a huge dark shadow go across the parking lot while I’m still staring at the sky. The sky was clear. There was no clouds, it was bright sky. Meaning this object was invisible but had a shadow. Later that night, I let my dog out to potty. I leave the backdoor open while I’m letting the dog out . When my dog was finished, we went in the house. As I’m going up the stairs I notice a figure going up the stairs, taking the last step and turning where the open living room is. It wasn’t an adult size, more so of kid height. It was transparent but lightly cloudy white like (Casper the ghost) with a blue outline. If I would’ve blink I would’ve missed it. This happen around 8pm

Saw in the sky three star sized lights moving rapidly and smoothly in a reverse triangle formation. Checked my phone compass and looks like they were headed about South. Night sky was overcast and stars are hard to see from light pollution. Only noticed the lights because they were moving. Lights were about as visible as the brighter stars. No other aircraft noticed in the sky at that time to reference.
