Circle over Plymouth, MI

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Driving on road about 40 mph. Out of nowhere a strange looking, small circle appears and it's moving too fast for a plane. It had a center that was like a frosted clear, flat button with a metal rim silver. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #135023). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Plymouth, MI

A very strange pair of much wider than normal white contrails falling east in a completely clear daylight sky. The trail dissipated quickly behind the craft. Whatever it was, it seemed to be creating a lot of drag. The first thought that came to our mind was a falling satellite of some kind. There was another white or gray jet with no contrail much lower heading southwest at the same time.

Plymouth, MI

Was going to my office in Plymouth (I live in Western Plymouth) ... seen 3 HUGE orange/yellowish orbs in a triangle formation and a smaller orb down at the bottom of the formation. These floated over the North Church and across M14 freeway. Was trying to get my 4K camera Note 4 to operate .. just got it the previous day .. was shaking. I stopped on the bridge to do a photograph/4k Movie .. however, I didn't know how to operate the camera -- shaking too much. I was familiar with the iPhone 5 until I switched to the Note 4 for a brief period of time. All the orbs (round circular glowing lights like big balls -- no substance) vanished as they descended downward going from West to East. I fly drones, have flown single engine aircraft, have NEVER seen anything like this. I told my next door neighbor about this siting the next day. If I put my whole hand up that is what the size of 1 object would be in size.
