Light over Bay City, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw a series of orange lights moving slowly across the sky from a southerly direction toward the north. There were about seven of them and they were equally spaced. They periodically dropped what looked like small balls of fire that extinguished before hitting tree level.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #118019). 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.

My Son and I were pulling into our driveway when he noticed 4 bright white balls of light, rotating in circles, meeting in the middle with a continuous pattern, with no light source coming or connecting to them from the ground. At one point, the lights started moving towards us, with two of the lights almost extending over us. When that happened, we ran inside and kept checking the lights and then they had vanished. We were not able to view the disappearing but we believe the lights were present for approximately 30 minutes. Approximately 20 minutes after the lights disappeared, I was told by a friend to film the area again and when filming I seen a bright but very small ball of light near me. Around 26 seconds into this video when I visualized it he small light I say, "What is.." as I moved the camera towards it and it disappeared. I honestly thought I just needed to blink until I reviewed the footage. I thought that myself 34 years old (Registered Nurse for Community Mental Health), Boyfriend 35 years old (Music Artist) and Son 11 years old were the only one to witness this. When picking up my Daughter from a stay at her Dad's her friends which are within a few blocks of our location had been sending her pictures and videos of the lights that they described as a UFO. I asked the local convenient store the next night if anyone had said anything about the lights in the sky last night with a 7-11 clerk said, "My girlfriend said it was lights from the Casino". Closest Casino is approximately 30 minutes away and the lights were not even in it's direction. My Boyfriend and I drove around while the lights were in the sky looking for a source but there was no light beams noticed and it was a very cloudy night you couldn't see a star in the sky. There has been no lights noticed in the sky since. I am having difficulty uploading the videos but can provide two videos.

Tonight at 8:56 (or 20:56) while driving from Saginaw to Bay City two aircrafts were spotted, flying in tandem at roughly 350 MPH near Amelith Road Bay City, Michigan. The lights were flashing at 1 millisecond intervals and were white. The crafts were apparently going straight ahead, then turning towards the direction of the airport, where we lost sight. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

One huge dark triangle aircraft flew slowly past my back yard at an unusually low altitude. The craft had green red and blue lights on it. It made a loud humming noise as it cruised.

We witnessed a strange aircraft that traveled much higher, faster and was a lot larger than anything we've ever seen or read about.
