Sphere over White Lake, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At approximately 18:45 traveling east on M59 in White lake Township, two lights, one white and a smaller light more of an orange color fly overhead of traffic followed by a helicopter. I’m not sure what size the lights were in relation to the helicopter but the larger white light was maybe half the size of the chopper. I thought the crafts were a formation of some sort but the orange light traveling next to the other larger light threw me off, because there were no blinking lights and no usual shape I could make out of the two. all three craft were traveling at high speed and after the trio started getting further ahead I notices that the orange light was getting smaller and fainter, it wasn’t visible at all after about 30 seconds after the initial contact. I could still see the blinking chopper lights still chasing the brighter white light until they both exited my frame of view. I wouldn’t have thought anything of the sighting if the small orange orb didn’! t dissipate out of nowhere, it didn’t make sense.

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.

We were driving down m-53 headed from work to get pizza. It was daytime. We all noticed what appeared to be,to me,a rectangle looking shaped object very slowly moving about 300-500 ft above the ground. It resembled a family pool or something floating, mid air. Trying to make sense of it, I looked to see if maybe it was being pulled, like a banner, from the rear of a plane but there was no plane in sight. We had slowed way down at this point. Way too big to be a kite and moving like 5 miles an hour with a smooth progression, I knew I had no way to faxing this thing in my mind. It appeared black/brown in color and as I took note of the color, we were slowly driving so trees were moving in front of it. I noticed it started to angle itself differently. Like a picture frame slowly falling over. It had no visible lights. As it got almost flat, it suddenly dissappear. We pulled into the pizza place seconds later. We re-aquired it miles Away on the horizon, slowly ! moving across the sky again until it went out of view. It was antigravitic, rectangular and moved faster than the eye could see but still, also stood still and creeped along at other times.

Drove closer using Google maps and could not find source. Found multiple groups of people watching the "show".. two groups said this is 3rd such occurrence in 2 weeks. No explanation. Believe to originate above Indian Springs Park in White Lake. Lights eventually stopped moving and maintained a solid formation at 7:58PM exactly and then began to descent/land and by 8PM the event was over.

I was outside smoking and I looked up at the sky to look at the stars like I always do and I saw this ball of fire. I ran and got my boyfriend in the backyard and he saw it to. We thought maybe it was a hot air balloon or something but it was so low we could tell it wasn't. Just as were studying it.. It vanished like it moved so quickly that it basically vanished. This is the first time either one of us saw something un explainable ever. I was wondering if anyone else saw something like this too.
