Otisville, MI
On October 10, 2020 I was up around 4:30- 5a.m letting the dog outside. I saw what I assumed was an airplane, but it was flying super low. I grabbed my binoculars and followed the object as it traveled across the horizon. There was a neon orange light, and it was as moving around like crazy. The only way i can describe it was that it looked like lines leftover from a sparkler, like when you move it around and it leaves a light trail. I lost it in the trees.

Near Detour, Michigan, MI
We observed the rotating light in the sky at Dennys cabin surrounded by trees. I have 2 videos, one is 42 sec. and the 2nd one is 1 min. 11 sec. long. No sound associated with the sighting. We observed the object for an hour. We actually got in the truck to see if we could find a source. The we went in the cabin to go to bed. We put the incident off to border patrol ??? But it was very strange. The object did move but stayed in the vicinity. The cabin is located very near the Canadian border. We rationalized it as man made and did not report. But still bothers us as to what we saw. You can hear the waves of Lake Huron.

Lansing, MI
While traveling south on us 69 just south of lansing, Mi I saw a green light falling in the south west sky. It was falling in a bit of an arc and had a smoke tale. It was moving quickly. I observed it for 1-2 seconds before it faded out and disappeared.

Ferndale, MI
We were enjoying a hot tub when directly overhead we saw a faintly lit chevron traveling about twice the speed of a plane traveling north to south. It looked more like reflected light than light that was generated from a source. At first I thought it might be reflected light from a flight of geese but the asymmetric chevron held an unchanging uniformity. It was comparable in size to a full moon, maybe a bit larger. The lights were somewhat faint and your average star like blue in color. They were steady and unchanging. There appeared to be maybe 4 linear lights on one side and 3 on the other side of the chevron. We heard no sound. I am an amature astronomer and this totally blew me away. I have never seen anything like it. Unfortunately we were in the hot tub so I have no images. Would love to know if anyone else saw it.

Waterford, MI
Object started flashing ( I’m aware it’s not the planet next to it) lasting actually about 5 minutes. I was parked in my car, craft appeared to be less than 1,000 feet from the ground. I live by an airport and know that they blink 1 second apart ( I’ve learned much about airplanes since these events started occurring) this was not the case here.

Potterville, MI
I went outside to take a picture of the building where I work, so that I could simulate a logo sign for the side of the building. I took a picture of the building with my cell phone. When I started to crop the picture to make it easier to work with I noticed an object in the picture. It is roundish / oval shaped, and appears to be light grayish / blue and reflecting the sun on one side. It was a perfectly clear day. Unfortunately I had not noticed the object at that time, or I would have grabbed my camera.

Mason, MI
It was what looked like a bright star or thought it was maybe mars but as I video it, it seemed to change colors and pulse it's not the best recording but interesting nonetheless. It is more than likely a camera issue but it just seemed off and not right.

Lowell, MI
Bright light looked like shooting star from south to north then immediately stopped. The objected turned 90 degrees and accelerated out of sight to the east. A smaller less bright object quickly followed and disappeared as well.

Fremont, MI
We saw 2 objects fly at different times from the south to the north making no sound. First was at 9:36 pm. 2nd was at 9:44. Both looked like orange balls. The 2nd had a piece shoot off and disappear. Seen by 4 adults and 2 children sitting around a campfire by our lake. All sober. I have video but it doesn’t show up very well.

St. Clair, MI
My girlfriend and I were outside and have witnessed the same thing in the sky two evenings in a row flying East towards Canada from where I live. The first day it went on its way but tonight was different it came out of nowhere and hung around for a few minutes and then slowly left almost as it looked like it became a star. Tonight I did feel nauseous looking at it for some reason I don't know. Strange as hell but it definitely wasn't anything I have ever seen and I had lived near a Air base in Michigan for years. The first night it seed the was a plane not to far off passing to the same way it was traveling and it had the normal blinking lights air craft have.

Grosse Ile, MI
On the morning of Saturday September 12, 2020 I saw two objects in the pre-dawn sky that were brighter than the stars that were visible at the time and I figured they must be planets. The objects were aligned almost due north-south, about 40 degrees apart, almost directly overhead slightly in the western sky. Sunrise was at about 7:10 am and I could see them even after sunrise just as bright as they appeared pre-dawn I was able to track the objects for the rest of the morning. They moved in an east/south direction and kept their apparent north-south alignment the entire time. At about 11:00 am one of the objects could be seen between the sun and the moon in the daytime sky. My cousin in Florida said that he was able to see this object at this time. He could not verify that he could see the second object. Skychart apps “confirmed” that the southernmost object was Venus, even though Venus was not retrograde at the time. Skychart apps did not give any insight into the second object.

St. Clair, MI
Saw a moving star. At first I thought it was a satellite, but then noticed an airplane flying west. Realized it was flying too low to be a satellite, as it was flying below the airplane. It was moving north to south. It stopped moving all of a sudden, as if it had been spotted. It moved left right up down, like a video game controller and then went straight up as if it were disguising itself as a star in the sky. If you were to look in the sky you wouldn't be able to tell the difference if it was a star far way in the sky.

Dansville/Mason, MI
Driving from Dansville Michigan to Mason Michigan. I was with my wife and child. Saw two UFO's in the sky. Each had triple lights in a straight line with a haze around them. Moved around and then disappeared. I initially thought this was a drone. But two of them in tandem with triple lights is very unlikely. Right at sunset wife and I both saw it.

Allendale, MI
I took video of an aircraft flying low. It is circular/ oval with blinking white lights that flash at random intervals, both at the same time so its completely dark. It stays dark for different amounts of time and has no rhythm to the blinks. I've seen it on 3 seperate nights, same place. It appears silver and flys in zig zags, up, down and backward. It flew over a cell tower and the tower lights got dim until it passed. It doesnt have sound.

Jackson, MI
3 objects that appeared to be a ball of fire, triangular in formation traveling at what appeared twice the speed of a plane moving northwest to southeast. Another one followed that was not lit, appeared to be metallic in color and disc-shaped. That object then stopped and hovered in place as 3 more came from the same direction and speed as the first set. Once the 3 passed this object it then caught up to them and continued but only the other 3 appeared to have the ball of fire. 2 more appeared, one lit and the other not. The one that was not lit was much closer to the ground and you could distinctly see the disc shape and underneath, on the bottom of the object was 3 small disc shapes and what appeared to be a cockpit looking object in the middle of the small discs. Our windows were open and no sound was heard.

Family of four. Two adults and two children ages 9 and 11 were eating dinner in the back yard. A comment was made about the beautiful sky and the dad looks up and sees a stationary single bright white round object at very high altitude almost directly over head. Everyone saw it. A few took a minute or so to located it. It then appeared to vanish and reappear slightly northwest of its originally location. Shortly after that, we all observed a variety of objects all moving from south to north about the same spot as the original object. They appeared to move at constant altitude and speed. A few of the objects seemed to flash brighter and dimmer. We observed them until they went out of site beyond the trees.

Slowly traveling from NNW towards SSE at approximately 95,000 feet. Whole object randomly flickered bright then dull, due to either, the sun or internally.

Holland, MI
I am a recently retired Engineering Standards Lead for a major aviation company. On August 18, 2020, my wife and I were riding our bikes and took a break at approximately 3:15 PM. We typically rest in a grassy area adjacent to a golf course about 3 miles from Lake Michigan, where we have a clear view of most of the sky. We saw a couple commercial jet aircraft, and one that we watched heading east seemed to be a bit different from the usual aircraft we see. Shortly after that plane flew over, we saw two white objects that appeared a bit oval in shape, flying east at about twice the speed of the other jet aircraft we observed. The objects then varied their flight path and turned to the south east, where we lost track of them in some clouds. We haven't been able to find any other info about the incident.

Wyandotte, MI
To the west, a singular light could be seen hovering high in the sky. Shape appeared to change colors and slowly drift, but kept similar location in the sky. Upon extended observation, smaller dimmer lights seemed to "drop" from object...almost like floating stars that would drift down and dim. Viewer continued to observe object until it dissapeared behind cloud cover.

My clemens, MI
A man that physically Told me over a recorded video that he is "The Lord", while i was in Macomb county jail, on a recorded video, later cane to see me where we spoke on things I can't remember, he asked me a series of questions, when I would lie I heard a loud horn only I could hear, when he came to speak with me in person he then showed me he was telling the truth turning from human into half sunshine. He was so bright I had to look down, he was on of the doctors there. A blonde. He knew everything and told me to tell people. He made me visualize everything around me as a different setting, he.. made things happen in front of my eyes I won't say to keep him safe. He was so kind, he reminded me of love
