Unknown over Detour Village, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This sighting was during the fireworks for Detour Village and Drummond Island. Lights were over Lake Huron almost to the Detour Passage. If I had to guess the craft/lights were at about five thousand foot. When there was movement the lights would change from one green one red and gone clear/white to all green or all red and being multiple of the same color. Seemed it was investigating the fireworks. No noise was heard either. Witness, who elects to remain totally anonymous, provides no information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #128271). 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.
