Triangle over Pontiac, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
January 29, 2016, 11:55pm, I was on the corner of Walton and Baldwin, waiting on a traffic signal, I noticed very bright lights just above the trees heading north on Walton. This aircraft had 7 lights visible from the front of it, and made no noise. I realized whatever this aircraft was, it was headed right for me, and I began to panic thinking it was going to crash down on top of me. When the aircraft got to Baldwin, it turned gracefully going towards I75, this is when I seen the whole aircraft. It was triangular, it had very bright lights on each corner and smaller lights going down each side, 9 lights total. It was gliding very low and very slow as it went on its way. I did not follow it because it frightened me, and I did not report this incident because basically every one I told laughed at me.

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.

Around 10:08 p.m. I went outside with my Dog. While she was wandering, I was looking up at the night sky and noticed 2 stars moving quite fast, side by side with an off set. So I ran and grabbed my phone to try to Video tape it, if it Happens again. Because I know they're not stars. It did Happen again 5 more times. As these things are moving they get real bright {its quite amazing} and then dim low again. I saw 1 of them light up into a Triangle with bright lights kind of like a strobe. I Believe that I saw the Mother Ship, It looked like a big circle all lit up with a smaller circle at the bottom all lit up when it Strobe'd. It strobe'd 2 times . They all came from the same place and disappeared at same place. I did take 5 Videos .
