Triangle over Deford, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was heading home from working in Cass City one winter night, and I saw these three bright lights in the shape of a triangle. They were hovering approximately 100 yards above ground stagnantly shining down. It was dark and there was a tree line by the road, so I couldn’t see anything other than the lights. Trying to grasp any logic I could, I finally was able to convince myself that it must be a cell-tower I’ve just never noticed before. The next morning I looked for a tower or any rationality near the sighting about 1/2 mile south of Deckerville Road on Cass City Road; there was absolutely nothing, other than fields and woods.

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.
