Triangle over St. Clair, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
With Orion on my left and facing south, it's in the South East sky and within the tree line. I don't know if it's Venus or another celestial body. It seems triangular shaped and a very white, bright light. Just sitting there and not moving other than seeming to turn. But that could be atmospheric interference. I wish I knew more about where things are in the sky. Edit: This was in the South West sky, not SE (Orion was on my left) and after 2 hours, it disappeared. I went out to check on it and it was gone. It wasn't high in the sky. It was at the tops of the trees. I checked it about every 30 minutes. It seemed to just sit there and turn.

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 girlfriend and I were outside and have witnessed the same thing in the sky two evenings in a row flying East towards Canada from where I live. The first day it went on its way but tonight was different it came out of nowhere and hung around for a few minutes and then slowly left almost as it looked like it became a star. Tonight I did feel nauseous looking at it for some reason I don't know. Strange as hell but it definitely wasn't anything I have ever seen and I had lived near a Air base in Michigan for years. The first night it seed the was a plane not to far off passing to the same way it was traveling and it had the normal blinking lights air craft have.

Saw a moving star. At first I thought it was a satellite, but then noticed an airplane flying west. Realized it was flying too low to be a satellite, as it was flying below the airplane. It was moving north to south. It stopped moving all of a sudden, as if it had been spotted. It moved left right up down, like a video game controller and then went straight up as if it were disguising itself as a star in the sky. If you were to look in the sky you wouldn't be able to tell the difference if it was a star far way in the sky.
