Westland, MI
Hundreds of lights traveling same speed in the same direction, not flashing lights. Extremely high in the sky. Traveling opposite of the cloud and wind direction. Typically in formation of triangles or grids of 3-5 crafts. This has been going on for over 30 min. There were other commercial airplanes flying in the opposite direction. These lights were scattered over many miles in all directions, not just a straight line.

Auburn/Midland area, MI
I saw about 8-12 green lights in the sky from my house in Auburn-the lights were dancing around in the sky- all green lights. One Green light stayed in the same spot the whole time like it was watching the rest of the other lights dance around

7 white lights seen to the west side of the state moving upwards at a steady rate and eventually fading into space. Seen over many county's, thoughts they were coming out of Lake Michigan.

Eagle, MI
(20 minutes after witnessing what appeared to be 8 micro satellites at 19:26 moving from 0-30degrees in the SW sky CLEAR) A metal type object appeared moving in the same area appearing at 20' to 80'. Object looked as if it were moving through clouds and disapeared almost overhead, yet there were none.Clear skies. Looked as if it could be cloaking.

Independence Township, MI
We were looking due west verified with a compass. There were seven lights lined up in a perfect row evenly spaced apart. Heading due west or going out of the earth atmosphere into space. I have pictures and video of it. There were other aircraft in the area heading west as well not moving nearly the speed of the ufo’s to reach the horizon. At first I thought it was the star formation of Orion‘s belt but realized there were seven lined up in a perfect row. My son saw it first then my wife and I and my grandson came outdoors to see it. I called my daughters boyfriend and he went outside and saw it as well he lives about 20 miles north of where I live. They all eventually faded out. The 4th up from the bottom was the last to go. It got really bright before it finally disappeared. They looked like stars or bright satellites.

While walking my dog I noticed a cluster of lights in the distance it looked to be three lights hovering in the same place. After observing for quite some time I went inside and grabbed my video camera where I was able to zoom in and snap a picture of the object which appeared diamond and shit from the viewfinder. I witnessed this object two nights in a row once on December 21 at 7:30 PM and again on December 22 around the same time. both times the object was in the same place for roughly the same time. That same night I witnessed 910 lights and a half moon shape that other people were witnessing and posting claiming to be satellites.

Vicksburg, MI
At approximately 1930 on December 22, 2019, I was sitting in the hot tub outdoors enjoying the winter weather and the bright, clear sky over Michigan. I had just asked my children which star they thought was the brightest in the sky, and as I looked west, I noticed at least four bright lights traveling in serial across the sky, fading as they traveled further as if disappearing into the distance. They were traveling in a straight line, appearing perfectly spaced from one another and traveling along the same exact path. As they traveled further and began to disappear one at a time, new lights continued to appear from over the tree line until at least 10 of them had traveled along the same exact path and disappeared. The lights had the same appearance as stars, but shone much brighter and were obviously far closer. They did not move like, or appear to be, airplanes. Based on experiences I had in the military, my initial impression was that these might have been missiles or rockets being test-fired over Lake Michigan from a launch point somewhere in West Michigan – possibly near the area of St Joseph based on where they appeared to be coming from. However, I am unaware of any launch or test sites in this area.

Chesterfield, MI
while looking into the western evening sky i noticed a bright light that was moving slowly thru the sky. i thought it was the ISS. It was 730pm est. I mentioned it my GF and she looked at it too...As we watched, it was one Bright light then another then another,,we counted 18 lights in a perfect row heading NE until they vanished out of sight just like the ISS does when you watch that go past over head.Some lights were brighter than the others. I have pictures as verification.

Schoolcraft, MI
6 lights in a string spanning the sky leaning against the horizon at a 15 -20 degree angle. It appeared to be spinning. As one light would fade out another would appear at the other end -spinning. It was huge. I have no idea how to guess how huge. It was dark night but clear. All that could be seen were the lights.

Zeeland (Holland area), MI
It was around 7:25pm on December 22, 2019 that we were driving the family home down the I-196 (west). We were coming from Grandville, Michigan heading towards Holland and were about a mile or two from the exit 55 towards Zeeland/Holland and US-31. As we were driving I saw 7 white lights that looked like they were lower than the majority of the stars in the sky. They we’re all in a row and we’re all evenly spaced. They weren’t low enough to see any detail in their shape but the constant pattern and equal spacing intrigued me. It reminded me of the airport when the planes lined up to land. As we continued driving some started to disappear and leave a bigger Gap in between the others. At one point if I remember correctly an additional light popped up but it was only for a little bit. So technically there were eight at one time. But for the most part I saw seven. After that I saw the second and third light disappear then return as bright as before. Once we reac! hed exit 55 the last two in the row faded out and by the time we passed the exit there were only about 1 or 2 faint ones left. I tried to take photos but I was on the highway and it was too dark. At for I thought it was a Star constellation but new once I saw the number of them in a row that it most likely was not. It was very interesting to see.

Clinton, MI
Looking west of Clinton single lights in row formation (8-10) showing. Flying up evenly spaced. Once one would disappear into the sky and new light would appear below. This took place for roughly 20 min. A ll stars were out, clear sky’s no clouds.

Howell, MI
Lights in semi-linear formation in western sky towards Lansing. Dimmed then brigtened and started moving higher in the sky. One of them went upwards then backwards and down. They gradually faded out from view about 60 degrees above the horizon. They started at about 35 degrees above the horizon. They did not make noise, there was air traffic visible in the opposite side of the sky towards Detroit and Flint. These were not aircraft, we know the difference from living near an air force base when I was a child. My mother could see better than I could because she has far sharper vision than I (I'm normal, but she's got eagle eye vision). We left after they disappeared and although they didn't seem close the animals in our barn were visibly acting odd when we came in which was strange because the objects were not close, they looked like stars moving around in formation. We can't find anything in the sky constellation/planet wise that resembles it.

Woodbury, MI
Driving westward on M43 noticed a perfectly aligned and spaced out line of 7 lights thought at first to be stars sitting stagnant perfectly equally spaced apart stretching perfectly diagonally. They were all very strong in brightness the 7th and top star. As we drove a couple miles my daughters and I were baffled. We had just gone to the planiterum on MSU campuses that afternoon and when they showed us what we could see that was DEFINATLY not a constellation. My adult daughter said mom maybe it’s a building and this was all country and I told her no way not even Empire State Building was that high was probably over 2-3 miles high in length and was perfectly diagonal so it could not of been a cell tower. As we kept going cars were going slower and a few pulling over to side of road to observe. As we approached Clark road one by on the lowest to the ground ones started to fade away slowly as if they were going away from us leaving only the 7th one at the ! top to stay which was a star as if it was camouflaging in. Was very scary and definatly UFO. I mind you this was a very clear night and no light pollution as most is farmland in the area. Also at this moment I lost all cell service which I always have in the area.

Gladwin, MI
My stepdad was outside when he saw a line of bright lights that seemed to be moving from North to South. The lights were very small, but he knew something was off about tthem. Once he had me outside I looked up to the sky and I too saw the line of lights. Before he told me he thought they were moving I brought it up. He told me to go get the binoculars to get a slightly better look. When I came back out and looked up I started to shake immensely. I saw that they were moving very fast. As I watched the front object move forward past other lights in the sky it suddenly disappeared. My stepdad had watched it disappear too because he asked me if it just vanished from the sky. Then I took off the binoculars and noticed you could see about 6 at a time in a straight line with even gaps between them moving at about the same speed. Once one disappeared another appeared on the horizon. Eventually there was only one left and we watched it as it flew then suddenly disap! peared from view. We stood outside for a couple more minutes discussing what we had just witnessed. P.s. How they just vanished from sight kind of reminded me of in Star Wars when they go into hyper speed. That by far was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed and probably will witness in my entire life.

Willis, MI
Location: Augusta Township/Willis, Michigan.. It was a very clear, clean & crisp evening Sunday 12-22-2019 at approximately 7p-7:30p. I walked out of my barn facing directly due West. I looked up at the night sky as I always do. I immediately noticed 4 to 5 sequence of lights equally spaced out in a line. My initial thought was the “Winter Solstice”, perhaps stars lined up as I have never seen before. After looking closer I had noticed there was movement to the light. My second thought was our Military. (I would guess this was at approximately 45,000 feet elevation and at 30⁰ above the horizon) I started counting the lights as they were moving. I could only see 8 at one time. (If I were to hold up a ruler to the sky where the lights were traveling, I would say that the activity would be roughly 8-9” in length at arm’s length). The lights continued to move steadily East into what appeared to be a “cloud/mass”. I could see stars all around this mass but could not see stars beyond this mass. I was compelled to continue to watch their path. I noticed that not one part of the sequenced lights had exited this cloud like mass. Then I realized something else was occurring. The “cloud/mass” that the lights were traveling into appeared to be 35⁰ above the horizon. This filled up my view to be approximately 35⁰ wide and 15⁰ up & down relative to size. I walked out further into the yard and noticed that these lights were continuously coming from a “void” in the sky. At this point I had counted 12 + from the time I started counting but there were more in total. There appeared to be a barrier (energy field?) just south of the lights. I could only see 8 lights at one time and noticed that the 3 light exiting the “void” and the 3rd light entering the “cloud/mass” was much brighter than the others. I continued to watch for another 30-45 seconds and noticed a plane flying direct North towards the activity and at a much lower elevation. (Approximately 25,000 feet). From my sight this plane appeared to have “intercepted” the 3rd brightest light entering the “cloud/mass”. It looked like the plane had paused then changed direction moving East North East in a sharp turn. The 3rd light that was entering into the “cloud/mass” appeared to have shot off into the “cloud/mass”. I noticed the 3rd brightest light exiting the “void” had shot off directly North and all other lights dissipated/vanished! As my attention was diverted to the aforementioned plane for a brief period of time, I then looked back in the vicinity of the “cloud/mass” and noticed a clear star field (the “cloud/mass” vanished) .

Flint, MI
Saw a line of lights, evenly spaced apart, which appears to be part of a larger structure which was rotating. Caught on video but the quality is not the greatest. Appeared to be about 100 miles due west from Flint, MI - likely near Lake Michigan close to the Grand Rapids area. When I first saw them, it appeared that it was several separate objects, flying straight and disappearing into space, but after reviewing the video it definitely appears they were part of a larger object which is rotating. Very clear night, and able to clearly see passenger aircraft flying at cruising altitudes, this appears to be much lower than them and compared to images of the starlink satellites - the spacing in between lights is much, much father apart. There appears to be an aircraft, likely a helicopter, flying around the vicinity of the first object, and disappears shortly after the lights do. From start to finish of my video is exactly 2 min 20 sec. The video stops on its own and for some reason takes a single picture as it shuts off. At precisely this time the lights disappeared.

While walking the dog me and my wife witnessed a diamond object in the Verizon in a fixed position for around 40 minutes to an hour. The object slowly sunk into the Verizon app where we cannot see it anymore, it appeared to be hovering over Lake Michigan.

Three Rivers, MI
Not sure if it was a military convoy or what but about a dozen or more bright, non flashing lights were seen traveling upwards at a high angle then before even going all the way up, slowly disappeared one by one after reaching certain altitude. No clouds or visibility issues, stars visible behind and all around lights. Odd for them to disappear in such a manner after flying seemingly visibly for thousands of feet upward, in formation one by one. Noticed other flashing passenger aircraft lights very close behind ( ufo being between me and aircraft) this formation as if unaware of their very presence.

White Lake, MI
At approximately 18:45 traveling east on M59 in White lake Township, two lights, one white and a smaller light more of an orange color fly overhead of traffic followed by a helicopter. I’m not sure what size the lights were in relation to the helicopter but the larger white light was maybe half the size of the chopper. I thought the crafts were a formation of some sort but the orange light traveling next to the other larger light threw me off, because there were no blinking lights and no usual shape I could make out of the two. all three craft were traveling at high speed and after the trio started getting further ahead I notices that the orange light was getting smaller and fainter, it wasn’t visible at all after about 30 seconds after the initial contact. I could still see the blinking chopper lights still chasing the brighter white light until they both exited my frame of view. I wouldn’t have thought anything of the sighting if the small orange orb didn’! t dissipate out of nowhere, it didn’t make sense.
