The report, as filed
Thursday,September 30th I was in my backyard walking my dog.I was just looking up at the sky when I turned my head to left. That was when I saw the object.It was moving rather slowly to the east. It was a glowing,bright white light, oval in shape.At the same time an aircraft passed under the object going in opposite direction. The object maintained its coarse for a few seconds when it changed color to dull red color.Continuing for about 5 seconds then the color slowly faded out completely.I was in the Military and I have studied Aircraft for most of my life. I did not here a sound from object.

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.

Spotted a metal object in the sky at a very low altitude. The object was hovering in one spot above the freeway and looked to be a disc shape with a central light. Underneath the object it appeared to be a plane shape but was not moving and just hovered for about 15 seconds in one spot. I captured a video of it and after a few seconds of recording the object blurred itself from my camera. When I looked back at the object after passing underneath it, it had vanished without a sound or trail.

My husband and I were in the hot tub at about 9:10 pm and saw the first cluster of very bright lights flying in a close group like no other aircraft. Like busy bumblebees on blossoms, tight s flights, not in unison. Lasted no more than 5 seconds flying west and just disappeared. About 5 min. later another cluster of 25 - 30 very bright lights appeared just like the first objects but flying south west. It lasted about 5 seconds. The last cluster was just like the second. They flew like no aircraft we see. We never saw a plane in the sky when the UFOs were visible. The last 3 sightings were singular lights that were very dim and higher than the clusters of lights. They were circular but no visible shape, just very big bright lights. This lasted approximately 30 min. It was straight up above the city of Fenton. We live 20 min. south of Bishop Airport and watch the planes and helicopters all the time. We went out hoping to see some UFOs. We used the hot tub almost every night except on rainy nights. Veterans Day was intentional since my husband saw some UFOs Nov. 11, 2021. I did not go in the hot tub that night and he told me what he saw the next morning. I knew he would not lie about that. I missed it and said they will be back. He saw a mothership first, a year ago, then the similar lights meeting up with the mothership on the outer edge covering the bottom. The mothership was the shape of a large stealth fighter the size of a football field or bigger. We did not see a mothership this sighting Nov, 11, 2022. We will be watching next year, earlier in the night, on Nov,11, 2023.

11/11/2021 @ 11:30 PM In hot tub, viewing the sky, I saw lots of stars when suddenly a fleet/swarm of dim transparent circular lights in a triangular formation or shape flew above me. Higher than the clouds. They were flying from the East towards the West. The triangular shape consisted of about 200 circular lights. Again, they were transparent, you could see thru them. Kind of dim, not as bright as the stars. There were no crisp lines on the edges of the crafts, kind of an aura or hue. About 25 smaller circular UFOs were flying behind, as if to catch up, or join the large triangular formation. The first sighting took approximately 4 or 5 seconds before they were out of my view. About 5 to 10 minutes later a couple more individual UFO lights followed the same flight path as the larger triangular formation, with the same transparency as the original group.

Two triangle shapes making no sound flew overhead with just the light from the moon reflecting off them. They traveled at a rate of speed that took only 5 or 6 seconds to go from horizon to horizon. They were following each other closely. My background I'm just a normal guy who likes to watch the night sky. I have seen the space station with the shuttle in the sky before but this was something very different.

Multicolor lights on one craft coming from the west - mostly white with red, blue, and green hugh glowing big and bright from at least 10 miles away with some lights flashing. As it got closer approximately 3 miles away over Fenton Michigan it turn 90 degrees to the north and headed towards the Flint Area. At one point the main lights went dim and through the binoculars the craft was dimly outlined in hundreds of very small white lights, (a few flashing white from right to left - but no red or green - just white). The craft was rectangular shaped - long and skinny - about the length of a maybe two large passenger jets. The whole affair lasted till 12:05 am - 10 minutes.
