Dearborn, MI
Hello I live in west Dearborn Michigan bordering Detroit. I've been watching the skys every night and I kept telling my daughter I would love to spot a ufo one day then it happened! My daughter was screaming telling me come see there's a ufo. When I came outside all I saw was streaks in the sky that are something I've never seen before. First I thought they were clouds but they weren't because it was a clear day with no clouds in the sky. Then I thought it was a jet trail but it couldn't be because they were to many of them on top of each other and some of them were not connected. I told her it's not a ufo because they are not moving then I looked up and saw a black object flying high in the sky around planes and it looked like a mother ship with another smaller object that seemed to hover around the bigger object and maybe even through it. It's definitely not a plane it had no lights or sound. It was the most amazing thing I ever saw. I'm wondering if the s! treaks in the sky had something to do with the unidentified flying objects flying but im everyone I ask tells me you really got something here that's unique.

On Sept. 16, 2021, at 7:52 Pm my Mom, sister and I were driving home from appointments when we noticed four bright white objects hovering in the western sky. (See photo’s attached) While we were stopped at the traffic signal on Gratiot Ave. at 13 mi. rd., I photographed them. It took approximately 3 min’s to drive home from that corner. At which time we saw some were still there. We all went into the house. Five minutes later I came back out and they were gone.

I was in the yard of my house and took photos of an stationary object in the NE night sky. It appears in the photos to be circular with a geometric design in the center.

One black circular disc-shaped craft with a ring of red, blue, white, and green lights around the sides and underneath was hovering low above the treelines heading southwards emitting bright beams. No sounds and it took off as quickly as it took off.

I squinted my eyes to see what was going on and saw a cluster of lights shining down from above the trees I noticed there was some noise on my patio my weber grill lid was chattering up and down, also I have some metal wall art 2 feet by 3 feet that was bouncing against the patio wall there’s a metal watering can that was also jumping around against the cement on the patio. It’s only lasted for about four seconds and as soon as the light went dark I looked up and saw a huge round saucer like object moving very slowly across our condos. I got a drop pictures made notes of what just happened my left eye was burning and hurt for about four days after the incident… I also noticed that the animals in the forest behind my condo was dead silence kind of an eerie quiet and the next

Girlfriend and I were out looking at the stars while letting our dog out. We were seeing shooting stars occasionally and pointing them out, then I noticed something strange moving and asked what it was. My girlfriend looked in the direction I was looking and also couldn't tell what it was. It was a metallic or reflective disk-like object, flying lower than a plane - possibly about the same height as a low flying helicopter - flew over our apartment building toward the tree line. About as large as a commercial aircraft. Absolutely silent and moved unlike any manmade aircraft. It went north, and then changed direction diagonally to the northwest like it was following the highway below. No lights on the craft. Seemed to be a metallic silver, but was reflecting the yellow light of the streetlights below. It wasn't going super fast but it was going fast enough that the sighting didn't last long, especially since it was hard to see once it passed the tree line. Bo! th of us weren't sleep deprived, or intoxicated in any way. We discussed what it could have been and stayed outside longer, hoping that we'd see more.

My children forgot to take my garbage cans to the road, I ran outside and took the cans to the curb. I noticed how strange the sky appeared, I noticed three moving lights very fast, close together in the same direction. I ran in to get my phone and back outside and started to flip them on my iPhone. I quickly chocked them up to being satellites or something else. Then I looked over in the other side of the sky when I noticed a strange bright light that moved strange and nothing I am aware of that is man made can move like this. I filmed it and zoomed in, and frankly got very scared. This light has 3 or more lights on it if you got frame by frame. It disappears and reappears, I just shook it off and showed my children the video I just taped. They were freaked out. My husband travels for work and I had forgotten about it and I just sent him the video, he instructed me that I should probably report it. I feel stupid but I know what I saw and I have the video of! it. I got so scared I stopped filming and ran in the house.

Saw in the sky three star sized lights moving rapidly and smoothly in a reverse triangle formation. Checked my phone compass and looks like they were headed about South. Night sky was overcast and stars are hard to see from light pollution. Only noticed the lights because they were moving. Lights were about as visible as the brighter stars. No other aircraft noticed in the sky at that time to reference.

Me and a few friends were camping on South Manitou Island in the Sleeping Bear Dune wilderness. I did not notice the strange phenomenon until I recently reviewed some old photographs. You’ll see in the video the UFO, at lightning speed ascends and levels out across the frame. View the video in slow motion as the object moves real quick.

My wife and my two children (ages 10 and 13) were camping at Van Buren state park on the shores of Lake Michigan. The state park is located approximately 5 miles south of South Haven Michigan and adjacent to Palisades Nuclear power plant. We checked in for a week long stay on Wednesday June 30th, 2021. On the evening of July 1st, 2021 my son and I returned to the campground from fishing in South Haven at approximately 10:30pm. At that time my wife, both children and myself decided to walk down to the beach despite the fact the beach and park lot leading to the beach having closed at 10pm. We proceeded to the beach at approximately 11:00pm. From our camp site across the parking lot to the beach is approximately .5 miles. Once we reached the beach I immediately noticed that in the distance on the horizon you can see the lights of Chicago. In the faintly illuminated sky of Chicago I notice a bright light just off the surface of the water. Despite the perceived distance, the light was bright. Initially, despite the rough lake state, I thought it was an anchor light of a boat. From where we stood on the beach if looking directly across the lake was 12 o’clock the light would be at 10 o’clock. In miles Lake Michigan is approximately 70 miles in distance across the lake. As I was explaining to my children that you can see the lights of Chicago in the distance a second light appeared directly above the first light that, to this point, was stationary. I said “look there is a second light” At this point my two kids were getting scared and were panicking. We all had flash lights and I asked them to shut them off so I could try and see what the lights were. At this point the second light that appeared disappeared and the light that was stationary began to move from left to right. At this point it began to pick up speed to the point I said out loud the my wife and kids “look how fast it is moving”. It moved from the 10 o’clock orientation to 12 o’clock or straight in front of us in a matter of seconds. It maintained a perceived orientation of just off the surface of the water. Once it was at the 12 o’clock position it stopped and the second light reappeared and disappeared. The light that was on the surface of the water went directly up then started closing the distance between where it was and where we were standing. Once the light was what I perceived to be half way to us I told everyone to run back to the campground and not to stop. From the time we saw the second light for the first time and the time we began to run to the campground was only probably 10-15 seconds. Once we saw the second light we tried to film the lights but with the hectic nature of the experience and the dark conditions we only managed to capture just the light for a brief second. Weather conditions- Cloudy sky’s 65 Degrees Wind from the north at 15Mph

My wife and I were standing in the driveway talking at about 9:15pm when we noticed what at first looked like maybe a private aircraft. It was in the SW sky heading Easterly, above the clouds, (which were reported at a ceiling of 30,000ft when I looked it up after) and making no sound. We noticed that the object was not an airplane but either a cigar shaped object or maybe a disk shape. It seemed to be a brilliant white but I don’t think it was illuminated. There were no blinking lights. My wife and I watched it travel for a min when it suddenly reversed its travel directly back along the path it had been traveling. It didn’t stop, or bank, it just immediately reversed direction. I started recording then and got some good footage, although not very long, as it became obscured by trees and cloud cover.

I was driving around 12:45 AM in the morning coming back from work when I first saw the object. Sometimes farmers go into the baseball fields by our house so I originally thought it was flashing brake lights. When I got home I decided to take a walk and just see what it was. This object was hovering about 30 to 40 feet in the air head to glowing red rectangles pulsating a red flash repeatedly. The area was so completely dark I was not able to truly see the shape of the objects the long rectangular lights were attached to. When I saw these lights were not brake lights and in fact a true UFO hovering above the septic tanks of her outdoor bathrooms at the high school I became to panic and full of fear and decided to leave the area. Our family has asked locals about The occurrence but there is truly no explanation. We have been walking back every night to see if there would be the same object but there hasn’t been.

I saw a bright flash of light to my left. I kept watching the sky. My wife and I saw a disk shaped object with lights that would dim then get really bright. It was hovering for a moment over the forest before floating on. I picked up my phone and captured a video. Not the best quality. But you can definitely see it.

On June 16, 2021 I was driving East on Sternberg Rd. The sky was clear blue with about three or four high altitude chem trails. I stopped at a light and immediately saw an intense white light blinking on and off about 5000 feet in the air. There were no colors just an intense white light. This lasted for about two minutes. I turned and went to Olive Garden. About twenty minutes later while seated outside waiting for a table, a large silver cigar shaped object came from my right flying fairly fast above the treeline. It was completely silver with no markings, no windows, no wings and absolutely no sound. It was approximately 1,000 feet in the air with a length of 500 feet and about 50 feet thick. It had a vertical line in the middle and was flying horizontally. It then in a split second, went about ten miles to the other side of the county and disappeared from view. It stayed at the same altitude the whole time and the event lasted less than 5 seconds.

It was 10:30pm, and me and my buddy like to look up on clear nights and stargaze. We just decided to give up when noticed a small triangular object moving fast east to west with three white lights in each corner, no other colors. Only seen that for about 5-10 seconds then it was gone. About 20 minutes later, after finally calming down from what we just seen, me and my buddy see 5 to 6 yellowish orbs fly over in a horizontal line for a few seconds until they started Maneuvering around each other and swerving back-and-forth faster than any aircraft I’ve ever seen. no way a plane could do what they were doing. And there’s no way it was drones, no noise whatsoever and no flashing lights. Just 6 solid yellow orbs dancing smoothly with each other. And they had to be low for how fast we lost sight of them behind the houses. Craziest thing I’ve ever seen. Was in shock and didn’t even think to take my phone out. Both sightings only lasted 10-15 seconds. And even if I did get my phone out in time, it probably wouldn’t of caught anything seeing how phone cameras barely pick up the stars.

Rockford, MI
On a night walk, my wife and I spotted a large bright circular white light traveling straight down and considering the distance and size, it may have been anywhere from Rockford MI to Lake Michigan. My thought was space debris, but not sure. The object was about the diameter of my pinky finger (about 3/4 inch).

they were fast moving. Slower than a shooting star but faster than anything we have ever seen move across the sky. We watched them move across the entire sky above us but the whole event lasted approximately 5 seconds. It was an incredible sight to see, unreal.

Macomb, MI
At 1:05 I was woken by the sound of a large aircraft and the sensation of my whole home shaking. I listened as the noise came closer and then passed my house. I did not see bright lights or the craft itself, truth be told I was scared to look. The noise was peculiar to me. I live near Selfridge and I know what the big helicopters sound like. It was similar in a way but didn’t have the distinct chopping sound, more of a mechanical engine hum. It seemed to be very low and close to my house. I tried to see if my Ring camera picked it up, but there was nothing. Neighbors did not hear anything, but I am convinced in what I experienced. I’m a 35 year old with a graduate degree and a healthy dose of skepticism for this kind of thing. Whether it was government or alien produced, I don’t know. I’m just hoping that sharing this will help someone to connect the dots.

Flint, MI
I was driving home from vacation in New York City, and when we got home, there were dogs howling loudly and crickets chirping aggressively. I then saw a yellow-white flash in the sky, and it hovered for about 30 seconds. It made a loop-the-loop and then flew straight up, and then began to fly forward. The farther it got away, the brighter the light. It stayed in the sky for about 2 minutes and then disappeared. When it disappeared, the noise stopped. I was 100% sober (I like to smoke weed since it is legal in Michigan) and didn't know what the hell happened.

Hartland, MI
Standing in a parking lot in Hartland, MI on May 26, 2021 at approximately 9:55pm. Myself and my partner were looking up at the night sky, stargazing. Suddenly we both look to the west, about 60 degrees up from the horizon, and there is a long band of light, with what appears to be multiple light sources along the band. This band of light was a straight line. The band moved from direct west to southwest, before dimming and entirely disappearing. It did not move at incredible speed. At first I thought it may be a plane's landing lights shining on clouds, but there were no blinking or colored lights visible and cloud cover was extremely light, and the dimming and eventual disappearance does not add up to me.

My wife and I were sitting outside having a campfire. We were enjoying the night sky when we noticed what appeared to be a satellite moving across the sky at around 11:23pm. It was white and the same size and as the stars. To our amazement there was another one right after the first and then another, continuing for about 18 to 20 in total. These were moving much faster than a plane in the sky and did not have any flashing lights. They were all in a straight line and equally spaced apart. We tried to capture the event with our phone to no avail. The line started in the southwest sky and passed over us to the northeast sky. When the event ended we were mystified and talked about what it could be. We continued to stay outside until 2am and saw the same line of satellite shapes pass again at 12:53 but this time they were further north from where we were. The 3rd time this happened it was even more north than the 2nd time and the event was around 1:40. We would like to know what these were as we have never seen that many satellites in the sky at one time and all moving roughly the same distance apart and in a straight line.

A series of stars, in a perfectly spaced linear alignment, crossed the sky from west to east as viewed from our neighborhood. I am not sure if these were satellites, however, I have never seen these before. My husband also saw these. They lined up perfectly, like buttons on a sideways sweater, and travelled at the same pace. Weird. There may have been about 8 to ten.

Alamo, MI
My best description is "The Phoenix lights" but a lot more. I recorded the event over "Rupert Lake" in North Western Kalamazoo County. Unfortunately as my fiance and myself saw the lights in great white light detail one after the other at least 3 others saw when you hear us trying to validate what was being seen by saying pardon us but are you seeing this. I even heard the immediate reaction of it's the aliens. I have the roughly 3 minutes video that I hope in the hands of professionals can be fixed to see clearly what we did. You are probably asking why only a few minutes of footage and the reason is we didn't have phones on us in the lake so I dashed through the lot to retrieve my phone to be honest I didn't want to miss a sec but we knew it was important that we document it. Please tell me where to send it.
