Sphere over Saline, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My wife told me there was something odd going on in the sky over the parking lot for our townhouses. I came to the window just as three pinkish red orbs rose over the tree tops in the S/SW. They at first reminded me of helicopters, but I immediately noticed there was no sound what so ever as they moved. They were spread out in a line, which smoothly reformed into a triangle as they continued to move. Then they stopped for a moment and made a 90-degree turn and proceeded in the new direction. They traveled for about a minute, stopped and broke the triangle, and reformed into what reminded me of the configuration of stars in Orion's belt. As they hovered the object on the right of the formation dwindled in size and brightness till it disappeared. The other two followed suit within about two minutes. I had the distinct impression that the diminishment was due to the objects moving away from us, much like a ship on the horizon.

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.

3 lights lined up as a shallow triangle. Left light blinked first, then a moment later the right one blinked. The middle light immediately blinked after the right light.

Driving westbound on Michigan Ave from Saline there were fireworks going off 15 minutes prior. Then when reaching Saline And Clinton border, I see 3 amber colored circles in a triangle pattern. There were not red or flashing similar to airplane lights, but more of a glimmer. The three amber/orange shapes were in a triangle pattern for several minutes and then formed a straight vertical line. I was pulled over watching at this point. They stood in a vertical line for a minute or so and then phased out one by one. We have corrected the date above, to reflect a sighting in 2014. PD
