Triangle over Brownstown Township, MI

The report, as filed

UFO Sighting: Black Triangle UFO with three white lights on bottom… Brownstown Township, MI Sunday, September 22nd between the time of 8:45 pm and 9:00pm I was sitting in my hot tub on the back patio after a long day of work. It was a perfectly clear night and the stars were brilliant. There was plenty of airplane traffic flying out of Detroit Metro Airport; a typical night, as I watched out to my west and south vantage point. You could see planes and their lights a good 30 miles out or so; it was super clear. I was in the hot tub with my wife and daughter. They went inside for a brief moment. I leaned my head back and stared directly above to watch all of the stars when a black, triangle-shaped flying object with a small round white light in each of the three corners of the object flew directly over head from north to south/south-east heading at an indeterminable altitude. It was visible to me for only 15-20 seconds total. It watched it fly over-head, staring directly at it. It left no contrail or vapor trails, and would have been difficult to see otherwise, if you weren’t looking directly at it. Its mass blotted out the stars in the sky, which also helped me make out its exact shape. I watched it fly slowly overhead, no noise, at a speed that was less than an aircraft that size would need to stay aloft. It was flying at an altitude higher than the other planes that night climbing in altitude coming out of Metro Airport. It had almost a shimmery maybe cloaking affect to ! itself, yet was flat black in appearance and clearly visible. It was a distinct triangle in form, but each of the rear corners were not pointy like a typical triangle shape would be; each corner appeared to have 45 degree angle cuts on each of its corners. It was unlike any aircraft I have ever seen. It was not a toy-drone flying at that height, at that time of the day, or in the Metro Airport flight route airspace. I watched it until it disappeared behind the roof line of my house. My wife and daughter came out moments later after seeing it. I told them and they thought I was crazy. I saw what I saw…and it wasn’t your typical overhead flying planes like I see all of the time. This was different. Oh, and I wasn’t drinking that night either…lol I thought I would write down the memory of the observation to keep the experience fresh in my head.
