Light over Grass Lake, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was between Wolf Lake Road and Hayball Road on Page Ave when everything around me lit up bright the was like lightning bolt and gone. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Peter, I don't believe it was over by Detroit. I was directly under it, and it flashed...no tail or debris. I was in my tractor and did not feel or hear anything. I am not sure about my lights as it was so bright around me. Tractor did have strange shudder just before light started. ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM)) ((ADDENDUM #2 FROM WITNESS)) I was traveling west on page it came up behind me from east. The location is jackson county, grass lake township. It was on page west of grey tower rd,east of hayball road and south of michigan avenue. Right over state of michigan hunting area on page avenue ((END ADDENDUM)) We have attempted to confirm the time of the sighting, which we believe should be 8:06 p.m. (Eastern), given that Michigan is in the Eastern Time Zone.

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.

My children thought a drone was following so my friend and I went to check it out and there were 8-10 objects flying over the tree line. They would sit in one spot then zig zag all over. Lights were red and white. One shot straight up and disappeared after hovering in the same spot for a few minute. They were not in a single form line but at one point they all lined up but with a big distance between them.

Teardrop shape appeared quickly over the tree line to the southeast of me. Looked like it had a white aura surrounding a green-bluish teardrop. Thought it could be something falling but it was too large of an object that appeared it of nowhere.

Once I grabbed my camera ( which had no SD card) I ran back outside and there was another single one coming from the exact same spot.It followed the exact same path while slowly dimming. The lights did not blink and were not a color that is associated with aircraft that I know of. Witness elects to provide no contact information. PD
