Cylinder over Canton, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I went to look and it was a flying cylinder shaped object. It was dark, so I couldn't really see how it looked like. It had lights that were blinking, like plane lights and it could not be a plane, even though I live near an airport. If it was, I would have been able to hear a loud thundering noise flying over my house. It was at least 2 yards high above the roof of a house. It flew past 2 houses near mine and then swerved to front part of my house. I went to see it from my foyer window. It was small from a far distance. It flew across the window view and headed for the woods clearing nearby. After that, I couldn't see where it went. My cousin who was driving in the neighborhood on the way to my house and hour and a half earlier said that she saw it come from the neighborhood across the street and come to my neighborhood. It went behind some houses then swerved towards the direction of her car and then turned back and flew somewhere else. My guess is that it probably has something to do with the government like calculating census or there looking for someone. I do not believe that it is a UFO from outer space. Witness provides no contact information. We cannot confirm that this is a serious report. PD

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.

Perfect triangle shape, with many lights, would blink and stop hovering. Located on highway. Would slowly hover lower.

I estimate the sides of the craft to be about 250-300' long and probably about 20-40' high - it looked the size of a large box store up in the sky. The outside or "skin" looked to be absorbing the street lights off of Ford road as they reflected off the street and illuminate the bottom and edges of the craft but the light looked to be absorbed which provided a strange visual of the light moving along the "skin" kind of like when you heat up a piece of metal and at the part of the metal that is being directly heated being a darker color and then as you move away from the flame location the color changes - almost like a mirage or it was absorbing the light shining on it. The craft made zero noise or sound. As we cleared the sound retention wall on S 275 we expected to see this huge craft parallel to us but it simply vanished.
