As reported

Unknown over Saint Clair Shores, MI

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

The report, as filed

I was once again out walking. Geometry was never my strong suit. I will say I saw an object very far away while walking west whiz diagonally from northeast position in my view to southwest position. This happened extremely fast and the object would've been traveling at a speed that I could only refer to as warp speed. The object was very far away so I have no idea of any shape. This was NOT a meteor or something. he object was in a still position according to my view before this occurred. Once again, it happened so fast. It appeared it would crash based on trajectory but I have no idea. Due to my late-night walking I tend to see things all the time. Lots going on up there. I have no doubts.

I was traveling due West on a dog walk on a neighborhood city street on a sidewalk. The lake called Lake St. Clair was at my back literally less than a block away. I would estimate the orb I saw was traveling due North at a zero degree angle from my vantage-point or because I was traveling west? I slept through Geometry in High School so please give me a break here. It literally went in a straight horizontal line from my view. The orb was bright white in color. I only saw one orb. I would consider it was oval or a full circle filled in bright white. It left a very very visible bright white trail behind it almost like seeing a comet trail. It then was gone. Vanished. My best explanation is that it did not gain altitude while traveling nor did it drop in altitude (to best explain the angle of its travel). I'm now aware I can not determine the exact altitude but let me tell you it appeared to me like it was 3-4 football fields above me...that's it. I have seen other very similar orbs in the past to this one. Yet, I've never seen something or felt it was this "up close" ever before. I was almost in shock how close it did appear to me. My observation led me to consider this would've been like a recon orb or that it was not manned by a biological entity. That's how close I think it was.

I have been observing a single super bright flash of light lasting one to two seconds from my patio in the NW sky for most of the month of September. I have observed it on about a dozen occasions, generally within the same sky space with some slight deviations of placement. Because I have seen it regularly, I am unsure if it is flashing continually throughout the night. I have attempted communication via responding flashes of light utilizing a 1,000,000 candlepower portable hand held light. No response. I attempted to locate it with 10X50 Binoculars and have seen nothing in the area where the flash occurred. I theorize it is possible but unlikely that it is Google or Government Satellite taking high resolution photographs of detailed portions of smaller incremental areas of Earth but cannot understand why at night or the need for a "flash."
