As reported

Oval over two or three miles northwest of Detroit Metro Airport., MI

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

The report, as filed

The oval shaped object was about six to seven times the size of the two triangular dark gray objects. The three objects were pretty much stationary to my wife and I for roughly ten seconds as we drove east bound on 94 toward Detroit. We had time enough to ask each other "are you seeing what I'm seeing?" I then asked her to reach for her phone which was in her purse located on the floor of the passenger side front seat. Unfortunately we did not get a chance to video this. When she searched for her phone, one of the darker objects changed shape within a split second, a long dark gray beam or tube "shot" down to the ground then bowed toward the oval object and broke apart all within a second or two... Then everything disappeared. I have drawing of what we witnessed. I would have to believe others seen this event, for it was light out and there had to be at least 15 to 20 vehicles on the 94 (heading eastbound and westbound) that should have seen the same thing we did. No lighting was seen. The triangular objects were odd looking, almost like cloud shaped, but triangular and dark gray.

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.
