Grand Rapids, MI
Stepped outside shortly after sunset and noticed a bright white light in the southeast sky. Light was a little less than the apparent brightness of Venus, traveling at a high altitude about forty degrees above the horizon. The sky was still light enough that no stars were yet visible, though the crescent moon was clearly apparent in the southwest sky. Had time to grab my binoculars from my car. Through the binoculars, the light appeared to be a single steady point of light with no colored navigation lights or strobing. The light traveled in a straight line, moving at a steady speed from the southeast toward the northeast. It was visible for at least 90 seconds before fading in the distance. I thought it might have been the ISS, but checking with tracking apps showed the ISS wasn't due to be visible in my location in the NORTHWEST sky until several hours later.

White/silver ball seemed to be hovering in the air. It caught my eye because as it started moving, the sun seemed to reflect off of it making it glimmer every couple seconds. Movement was slow and controlled, definitely too big to weather balloon and moved too slowly to be a plane. It left no exhaust trail either. It even seemed to appear and disappear quickly. Sighting only lasted 3 minutes or so and it just disappeared into a cloud. I was able to get photos and videos.

This morning around 11:30 I seen a silver, spherical shaped UFO. As I was walking out of my house, I noticed a dot in the sky with clouds behind it. At first, I thought it was a bird extremely high up in the air, but as it continued to move straight forward at high speeds, the sunlight caught its reflection and it shined a bright flash of light, which further drew my attention to it. This is when I realized it was spherical and silver, although it also seemed to be reflecting the light surrounding it. It had to be at least 15-20,000 ft high. I continued to observe it while walking to my car, which was facing the direction it was coming from. It continued to move straight forward at a high speed. As I got into my car, it made a sudden vertical shot upwards, with a blurry kind of hue surrounding it. It was no longer visible because of how high up it was. There was no noise during this sighting.

I use the ce5 protocols and got footage totally by accident i was sitting on my porch recording and it wasn't until after I looked and tried to figure every possible scenario out and I was sitting in the dark so there's no other way my phone would capture the movement this object then I thought maybe it was a another light that I had on me but I tested that out too as well and it's zooming in you can clearly see that not anything that I've ever seen

I was outside my HUD apartment at Pioneer Park Apartments and watched the western sky and checked the flight radar about 9:30 pm Friday may 14 2021 and scanned the aircraft band on my aircraft radio nothing but total silence strange rf interference to my ham radio 2 meters and 440 radio .and nothing was on the radar and there was no noise, the possibility an LEO satellite but I was bright white light looked like circle shape like flying at speed of aircraft It was a clear night in May 14 2021. I saw a bright white “star-like” thing in the sky. It was moving. I was looking west of Ironwood. I was in the North Hills. The bright light did not twinkle, as most stars seemed to do, but then it started to become brighter, approx 3-4 times larger and much brighter, still moving.

I was astral projecting using the Xanth Phase Method. About 15 minutes in, I saw a static image of the Virgin Mary. Then behind Mary was this thing that looked like a grey alien. However, it had slight irises and not entirely black eyes. When the thing noticed that I could recognize it, it turned to me and gave a toothless smile. In that moment, I felt like a lab rat being observed by a scientist. I opened my eyes, and to my horror, its outline was on my bedroom wall. Like a black chalk outline. There was also a green circular haze. I started having dreams of this thing. It was wearing the traditional blue outfit of the virgin mary in one dream and sitting on a throne. One night, I woke up and saw three of them looking at me through my bedroom window. Another night, I had a dream I was in this room with a platform in the middle. I asked them what they were and they replied "Asha Vhista Venu." I looked up Asha Vhista by googling it phonetically, and this was a Zoroastrian God of Cosmic truth. I've never heard of Zoroastrianism in my life.

Me and the children watched this blinking flying object fly east then it stopped moved a little to the right and then left. Then it went down and looked as it it were docked on another object. All these objects are in the sky usually in the clouds. You can visually see them because the objects are black. They are darker than the night sky is.

I was closing the curtains to my bedroom window and had my flashlight on so I wouldn't wake my wife. When I approached the window I noticed a *estimated 7 to 8 foot tall being. It quickly turned toward me and took two steps back. As it stepped back it seemed to disappear from a gray hue and I could only see the neighbors shed which was behind it from my perspective. I stood there with my light reflecting off the wall and illuminating my body which in hindsight was a mistake. After a few more seconds I turned off my light and watched for anything else. I didn't see anything else so I went to bed. I fell asleep and eventually awoke from pain in my head. It was a unique sensation that felt like some form of electricity through my brain. I was immobilized during the event and it caused pain in my teeth. It took I would estimate less than 1 minute but it felt much longer likely due to adrenaline. When it was done I could move again and could speak. My teeth remained odd feeling for the next day approximately. I can't be certain but I think there were long term effects on my memory and understanding/comprehension. A couple weeks later it was raining outside and the rain stopped over my house but was raining across the street. Then in about 2 seconds it was raining on my house again. I did not feel or see anything during that event.

Okemos, MI
Near the sky line, as far away as I could see I saw a dim yellow light that appeared to be getting larger and brighter as it approached me heading from south to north. Something about it grabbed my attention because it wasn’t a light similar to any I had seen on any airplane. It wasn’t blinking and was distinctly yellow rather than the typical white-ish LED color. As the light approached and started to fly overhead I realized that there was an object flying in front of the yellow light. It was a totally black triangle with 3 red lights, one on each corner, that weren’t blinking and were significantly dimmer than the yellow light. The black triangle was approximately 3 times the size of the light. The ship flew almost directly over top of me and as it did I got a pretty detailed look at exactly what it was. The bottom was a perfect triangle with three completely flat sides and what appeared to be a completely flat black bottom with just the three red lights just inside of each corner of the triangle. There was not a single blinking light underneath just the 3 solid red lights. Traveling in formation behind the triangle was a yellow orb of light. This is the light I had originally seen on the horizon. It seemed to be light emanating from nothing. I can only think to describe it as a large orb of yellow light floating very closely behind the triangle but clearly was not attached to it. I could see the sky in between the triangle and orb and nothing was holding them together but they were flying dangerously close to each other. Too close for any airplanes to fly together. The distance between them was maybe half the distance of a side of the triangle and the distance between triangle and orb never change at all. I stepped into my yard to get a better view while it was directly near over top of me and I could clearly see that the back edge of the triangle was totally flat, ruling out any planes that I am aware of. It was a perfect triangle with all equal length sides. It took approximately 45 seconds for it to pass from one horizon to over top of my head and disappeared over top of my house and I could no longer see it. I struggle to say exactly how big or how far away it was but the triangle was similar to the size the top half of your thumb held away from your face in the sky. I debated whether or not to add this next part in because I worry that it could detract from what I’ve said so far but It’s true and possibly relevant so I figured I should include it even though I definitely run the risk of losing credibility for saying this and I realize that but I’m already reporting a UFO so might as well be fully honest. 20 minutes before I first saw it I had a thought that I would see an alien in that exact location in the sky that I first saw it. I’ve never seen anything unfamiliar in the sky before, never had any ghost encounters, never heard anything out of the ordinary, never seen anything that wasn’t ordinary and explainable in my entire life. I didn’t even really believe in aliens until I saw what I saw. But I had a thought that I would see a ship coming from the exact place in the sky that it came from just 20 minutes before I first saw it. When I first saw the light far out in the distance it did not appear to be moving but with it tha! t far away it’s hard to tell. After initially seeing a strange glowing light in the sky exactly where I thought I would, I then began thinking that I hope it comes towards me and it did. I was actively thinking that I hope it comes to me as I began to see it move in my direction. It went from maybe 15 miles away and came almost directly over top of me. I’ve never experienced any sort of hallucination, I’m completely mentally sound, I don’t take any medications, and I wasn’t drinking. I don’t know how my thoughts could possibly have effected whatever flew over top of me but what I saw was certainly real and maybe those strange thoughts were just totally coincidental to what I saw but I’ve never in my life thought that I would see something in the sky until right then in that moment and 20 minutes later there it was, and then immediately after seeing it in the distance I actively thought that I wanted it to come my direction and it came directly over top of me.

I can’t remember the exact month this happened but it was last year, 2021. I was on my way to work and it was dark, so the pole lights were on along the side of the road. I was driving along and happened to glance up into the sky and saw a bright circle of light stationary but right above the road and my first thought was , “that’s a pole light, and I must be tired, now I’m seeing things”. But there wasn’t a pole, and as I started to pass under it, it moved to the right not super fast, but fast enough that I saw it move at the top edge of my windshield and disappear over the tree line on my right. I looked in the mirrors and behind me and there was no sign of it. I’m not sure if it was a drone or what but I never did see it again in that spot. To this day , when I come through that same area I’m always looking up to that area and I never see anything.

Clarkston, MI
Time estimated, but between 9 and 11 PM. Looking north, I observed a formation of three white lights (apparent magnitude of each light estimated around 1.0-1.5) arranged in a roughly equilateral triangle move rapidly northwestward across about 40° of sky in approximately two to three seconds, first visible to the NNE and disappearing in the NNW about a second before it would have gone behind the treeline from my location. As it was dark, I could not discern any form or silhouette between or around the lights, so I don’t know whether this was a solid object or not. About 10 minutes later, another formation of identical description moved parallel to, but slightly east of, the first formation’s apparent path. Both times, the three lights were solid in brightness and white, and neither made any noise. The weather was mostly clear, and there was some light smoke from a bonfire nearby. Only the first formation was observed through this smoke. I have been an amateur astronomer for about a decade, so I can confidently rule out satellites (based on rapid speed across the sky) and airplanes (based on solid lights and no sound). If not for it having more than a single point of light, and the fact it happened twice, this would have looked very similar to a meteor/shooting star.

Grand Rapids - Godwin Heights, MI
I was driving on 28th street toward Division Avenue with my young child in her car seat in the back. I was stopped behind several cars moving slowly toward the traffic light at the intersection. Suddenly, I noticed a dark gold/bronze cube flying toward me from the left, directly in view from my driver side window. I was so surprised to see such an object so I rolled my window down to get a better look. I thought it may have been the latest drone technology because there was a blinking red light in the middle of the cube. However as the object neared I did not hear any mechanical drone-like noise. The object made a soft and steady clicking sound, more like a very quiet and slow fan. It came right toward me—at its closest it may have been probably 30-40 feet away although I am not positive about this. I could see what looked like etchings or perhaps symbols of some sort on the cube, and it’s unique color. It was very beautiful and artistic. I thought whomever designed it must have been extremely talented. I wondered what cultural impression may have influenced the object’s design, and I marveled at its movement. I was amazed at how this cube was even airborne—it looked like something very heavy you might expect to see behind glass in a museum exhibit. Apart from the blinking light, it looked like an extremely old and heavy golden bronze ancient artifact. It was transfixing to see, nothing about it made sense. It had no antenna, no wires, strings or other, no visual propulsion mechanism of any kind, no understandable flight pattern or trajectory, no clear front facing steering. This thing turned and soared with ease. It felt intentional in its trajectory. There was no way this was a balloon or anything of the sort. It had no properties akin to something battery powered. At its closest, I could hear it. The sound of it was very soft; a steady, light clicking which would have been inaudible if it hadn’t flown close to my window when I had the window rolled down. There red blinking light was located directly in the center of the side of the cube facing me. The light was a typical, unimpressive blinking red light. I think that was the feature that led me to think of a drone or a highly sophisticated flying tech I was unfamiliar with. If I had to guess it’s size, I would estimate it could have been roughly 22 x 22 x 22, akin to a large moving box. It was a perfect cube shape. I was awestruck by this object and I did not want to lose sight of it, however I had to remain watchful of the cars in front of me so as not to cause a traffic jam. When it was my turn to drive forward, I did so slowly. I was hoping to catch the red light at the upcoming intersection so that I could have a few more seconds to view this flying cube and hopefully capture a video of it on my iPhone. The light turned red and I quickly located my iPhone and scanned the skies to see where the cube had flown to. I knew the object would cross over to the other side of the street so I expected to see it from the middle to right side of my car, and I rolled the passenger side window down immediately. I then caught view of the object but it was soaring fast. Still, while it was smaller and farther away than seconds before, the cube remained very visible to the naked eye. I again remember being struck by its beauty, thinking how creative this object looked for for an airborne flying tech or drone. It was artistic and ancient looking. It reminded me of a graphic design from a popular online game and I wondered if the creator(s) of the object were inspired by it. I didn’t know the name of the game I was thinking of, but I looked it up when I got home (Fortnite). I aimed my phone directly at the object as it was flying over and to the right of my car. I was confident I was capturing some footage of it, but I couldn’t see the object through my phone view, even though I checked to ensure it was pointed directly at the object. I thought my phone camera wasn’t focusing correctly, because I could clearly see the cube when I looked away from my phone view. I had to keep an eye on the stop light so I was only able to get a few seconds of recording before the light turned green. When the light turned green, I drove away slowly at first, looking back and forth to the road and then to my right, until the cube flew off into the horizon and I couldn’t see it any longer. The entire experience lasted seconds to no more than one minute, I believe. Later that evening I was excited to view my recording because I was certain I had captured at least some footage of the cube. However, the video I recorded showed nearly nothing at all. At the time, I was not discouraged. I assumed I would be able to find out what kind of drone or other flying tech this was online. However, my online search yielded no pictures that came close to how this object looked. I assumed surely someone else recorded this object. Even if not during my experience, surely someone somewhere else has seen and managed to record this object. But a search through Reddit and the local news sites yielded nothing. I widened my online search to include basic terms such as “flying cube” or “floating box” and scrolled through dozens of images. The closest likeness I have been able to find were the “black cube” UFO sighting in El Paso. This object looked similar but still with differences. For some background, I first saw unexplainable phenomena starting August 2020 after taking an interest in star gazing. Star gazing led me to a newfound wonder of the universe, eventually leading me down a wild ride into ufology, phenomenon, non-human intelligence, etc. I joined Reddit UFO and phenomena related communities. I became fascinated by the history and the stories people shared. I eventually started casually practicing (secretly) the CE-5 type of meditation and simply opening myself up to the beyond. I was also aware of how many people are treated when they share their experiences. A large number of experiencers were largely dismissed, questioned, ridiculed. Indeed, I had experienced this sort of response myself after trying to share about my own first experience. My husband and parents were more worried about me versus interested in what I had witnessed. So I stopped talking about it, in fear of sounding unstable, being dismissed labeled unwell. As a result, I wasn’t prepared to share anything about my flying gold cube sighting until I could rule out likely explanations for it or at least corroborate it with another source of information or footage. To date, I have yet to find another experience such as this. There has rarely been a week that has passed when I haven’t thought about this stunning object. I have driven that same road multiple times hoping for another clue, wondering if I could ever be so lucky to catch another glimpse of it. I even researched if there were ways to obtain historical traffic camera footage, but this type of footage seems incredibly hard to obtain unless there has been an accident or other legal situation. And even in those circumstances, it appears one would need a court order. I couldn’t find any way for an average citizen to obtain this material without legal involvement. The wonder and awe of seeing this object is unlike anything I have seen or experienced since. While it lasted only seconds, it remains one of the coolest things I have ever witnessed that I have yet to find an explanation for. I am hoping that in sharing my experience, other experiences like it can be identified and reviewed. I would love to find out what this object could have been. I apologize in advance for the grammar and typos. I wanted to send this summary quickly before I change my mind out of worry about sounding silly.

I was outside my house smoking a cigarette. I was looking at the stars and just admiring how bright they all were shining. Then I noticed one that seemed to be moving and I thought it was just my eyesight at first. I then called my husband and asked him to come look. When he confirmed that he was seeing it, I knew it was real. We were looking East at the first sighting of a rapid moving light form. Then we noticed there was one looking North. I took videos, zoomed in and they looked like those orbs you see when you take a photo, except they were out in the sky not floating around here. There were also multiple lights rapidly moving around these 2 and then disappearing. The craziest thing was these 3 blue lights flying around and I could not see them with my own eyes, but caught them on camera, BUT my husband could see them!! We were so shocked by what we were seeing, never ever in my life have witnessed anything like this. I know this seems crazy, I couldn't! believe it myself! We watched this happen for almost 2 hrs, they would disappear and then come back. Eventually I got really cold, so I can't confirm how long they were in the sky. I wish I was confident to say a UFO. drones, planes, helicopters? That's what everyone keeps telling me. If that were true, it just doesn't make sense on how they looked, how many were there, and why they weren't moving directions.

My motion camera went off that's on my porch, thought it was odd being after midnight. I checked it and zoomed in and used the timeframe slider and repeated the first 3 seconds over and over as it was lightning fast. Video shows it shooting off from close to earth at high rate of speed.

Holly, MI
Driving my usual route down I-75, approx. 7:30pm on a Thursday night, early January 2021, I noticed flashing lights within about a 1/2 mile radius. The lights were steady, smooth and rapidly changing form, though remaining within the confines of a circular formation. I figured it was a Ferris Wheel and my next thought was why on earth is there a Ferris Wheel event happening in rural woodlands-Holly on a Thursday night at 7:30? I felt destined to get my phone out and record the event and the two minutes of footage are what immediately follows my suspicion that I'm not looking at anything to do with a county fair. The lights end up flashing triangles then pentagons then 12 pentagons that come together in the formation of a cube...as a former teacher and scholar I had countless sleepless nights and ongoing research behind my extraordinary (albeit) Experiential Truth. I have it all on video and would like to email it to whom it may concern. (My email is virgomoontarot444@gmail.com , or I can be reached, openly, lovingly and willingly via phone 248.762.7924) I would love to pick the brains of fellow open minded-curious individuals; I have unmistakably caught footage of something beyond my comprehension.
