Comstock Park, MI
I was leaving to go to Walmart at 5:15 and to east of me there were this extremely bright light with beam shooting downwards about 100 feet. There was either other craft of this was very large as there were about 4 more white lights at about 30 degree down angle on right side. It was completely motionless and emitted no sound. I would guess altitude was about 1000 feet. I went to Walmart, about 8 blocks west of my residence and could see it very plain from their parking lot. It was still motionless with all same lights. I spent about 7 minutes in Walmart buying 3 items and came out and it was there still. As I got to my car another shopper was coming out. I asked him if he saw white light(s) motionless in sky. He agreed he did. I said I have never seen anything like this or what could be construed as UFO. He said he didn't believe in them and left. I went home and searched for binoculars (which I had once) but could not find them. I did not have! camera with zoom lens either. The Light(s) were still there and just as bright. I check whole sky horizon and saw few dim starts but NOTHING as bright as this or as many. Daylight was just starting to happen and brightness of light(s) did not change at all. Few stars I saw were gone now. I went downstairs and turn on my computer and came back up in about 10 minutes and it was all completely done. When I was at Walmart I remember hearing plane to my extreme west and that sound went away. This did NOT have any sound. If it was any kind of chopped the rotor wash I would have heard easily, as it seemed only about 1 mile away.

We see no evidence in the photo that is suggestive to us of the presence of aliens, or alien spacecraft. We are still corresponding with the witness. PD

Newport, MI
We were driving back to Detroit from Ohio, and along 75 north, a bright white light appeared in the West skies.. It got slightly bigger as it seemed to get closer to the ground. It lit up the cloud and tunrded it bright white, where it then looked like a disk. After it did that it seemed to have literally just dissapeared. A few seconds of still watching the sky in shock, it appeared again and it got closer, had pushed thru the clouds, and appeared to have blinking lights of some kind. Literally it shot off after about 3 minutes of it moving thru the sky

Lansing, MI
Was on the back deck having a smoke, when I look up in the sky, I see orange orbs in the shape of a triangle with two more sets of orbs at the large end triangle. Kind of like a manta ray, just above the tree line. I heard no noise coming from it, the sky was clear, and it just hovered there. I went back inside and got my cell phone to take a picture. When I had my cell phone up to take the picture, the lights shimmered and it was gone before I could take a picture. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information.

My friend and I were getting out of my car and noticed a string of lights that were in a slight elipses in the sky, looking through the trees. They were pretty stationary, but appeared to be very slowly moving away from us. We decided to go inside for a little while and we planned to go back outside to see if the lights would still be there. After 20 minutes or so, we went back outside, and the lights were still there, but a back to where they were before we went inside. We freaked out a bit and went inside to get my friend's husband, but when we went back out after 2 minutes, the lights were gone.

Appeared odd, like fast geese had swallowed glow sticks and flying in a straight line.

Frankenmuth, MI
I was walking with my girlfriend from the Bavarian Inn to Tiffany's in the downtown area. My girlfriend said look at the sky, referring to the clear skies and the stars, when we saw the triangular shape fly about 1000 feet overhead and disappear. It almost looked as though it vanished into the clouds, but there was no clouds. There was no sound. I wrote down my description of the object and then asked my girl to describe it. She said the same thing: triangular object with five lights; one in the center and two evenly distributed lights on each side leading to the tail.

I watched this for about 10 seconds, then it just vanished. No sound, no Noise. And only the one bright light. It was constant and steady, there were no other flashing, blinking lights with it. Just the solitary one white light. It was going from East to West.

Allendale, MI
At about 11:30 at night I was outside trying to see the Northern Lights with friend of mine. While we were staring up at the sky, I noticed a small circle moving around with a weird light aura around it in weird pattern. After about 5 minutes of watching it move through the sky it emitted about 2 other objects. These objects moved around in sync with the main one I first saw. They would then go back into the first one and then they would be emitted again and come back around 5 minutes later.

4 brownish lights was moving south to north directly overhead. The lights were not moving symmetrically & seemed to rolling over one another. Lasted about 30 seconds before disappeared. Appeared to be low altitude due to the observed speed. There was no sound.

Gull Lake, MI
Was laying down and noticed a very bright light in the sky. Thought it was a star until I noticed its very small movements. Once my friend came to take a look it had gotten further away and moved a bit to the side in the sky. Eventually it got so much distance it looked like a smaller light as if it slowly drifted up in the sky. At first I was able to see it bright and easily from where I was laying and after about an hour it was much further away and it had moved to the point where I couldn't see it from where I was laying anymore.

Wyandotte, MI
Noticed 2 bright lights about 20-30 degrees up in the ESE sky. One a very bright white and the other red. We thougth the white light may have been Jupiter, but both have remained in the same location for the last half hour. Both seem to wobble slightly. We drove to a nearby park to get a better look about 2 miles away. They were dimmer from that location. I will e-mail 2 photos I took.

UFO report for 3/12/17, Paw Paw, Michigan My wife and I were leaving her fathers house about 7:25 PM (high clouds, no stars observed) I noticed a relatively bright orange light in the sky. It had no strobe visual, but it appeared to flicker some. I could hear no sound from it, and it was not moving significantly laterally, but it did appear to move closer to my location and then up before blinking out. I stopped the car and got out. I began taking a video with my cell phone of the object which began to blink out. Then my wife said there were two more. I continued taking video, I thought. I then realized I had not hit the record button and immediatley did so to just catch the end of the two lights as they blinked out. I looked at the area I thought they were over on Google Maps and it appears to be mostly wetlands. I thought they may be luminaries or drones, but not sure. They were high enough that luminaries would have been moving laterally with the wind at that altitude. Not sure what drones would have been doing out after dark, and why did they appear to rise at the end and then blink out. Not saying I know what they were, but I could come up with no explaination.

Noticed a steady glowing red light in the sky moving east to west with a zig zag before it moved out of sight behind trees on the horizon. Red light was not blinking. The red light would however vary in intensity.

Ypsilanti, MI
At 6:54 pm EST, I looked out my back window and noticed 9 white dots in the sky. They initially looked like stars, but they were very low in the sky and it was still light outside. I grabbed my camera and tripod and began taking pictures. They started in 2 formations, one with 5 dots (the left formation) and one with 4 dots (the right formation), both were pyramid in shape. Two of the dots in the formation on the right began to move towards the ground. They seemed to merge back into one dot, leaving what looked like 3 dots in the right formation. The two dots at the top of the left formation split into 2 dots each and began to shift in their formation. One of the orbs on the left began flying towards the right, crossed over top of the formation on the right and went behind trees and disappeared. The orb on the bottom of the left formation then split into two orbs and then split into a third orb. A set of 3 orbs then appeared in the middle of the left! formation. Those 3 orbs proceeded to fly to the top of the left formation, then across the sky over the right formation, then disappeared. The dots in the right formation faded away and eventually disappeared. Then by 7:49 p.m. EST, the last orb on the left formation disappeared. None of these flew away, they just stopped shining.

The blinking lights had no rythem and were blinking sparatically. It was close enough to me that it light up the entire ground and trees around me. If not for that I would never have known it was behind me. I killed the snowmobile and the object made absolutely no noise whatsoever. It hovered silently slowly moving up and down and they drifted far to the right and slowly went away from me. I tried chasing it through the woods, until it flew in a different direction that the trail went, so I lost sight of it. But before I chased it, I called my wife to tell her what I was experiencing, only to be surprised when she started yelling at me, wanting to know where the hell I was, because I thought I left my parents 10 minutes ago, and she said it had been over 2 hours. We attempted to reach by telephone the source of the report, and are awaiting a call back. PD

Grand Rapids, MI
Seen a color changing, light fading ball and then transformed into a cigar then back to a ball. it was hovering above the area of st.mary's hospital. My girlfriend was the first to witness the ufo thinking it was a star. Until we started seeing it move in every direction. There's no way a plane wouldve stayed in our sight that long. There's no way a helicopter would have hovered that long or probably be allowed to over the hospital air space. It was not a drone because it had very bright color changing lights. It was not ball lightning because at most that lasts less than 30 seconds, and this went on for 45 minutes. At some points, we thought we seen some lights fly off of it. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

My husband and I were watching the stars out our bedroom balcony, when a set of strange lights appeared in the distant clear night sky to our west, over Lake Michigan. The lights appeared quickly, but were too far away to detect the object's shape. It at times moved slowly up and down, and to one side almost at an angle before returning to its original location. It would disappear and reappear at least 7 times over the next 20 minutes, always in the same area. The lights eventually disappeared completely behind the tree line, and we debated back and forth over possible explanations for what we just witnessed. This object was unlike anything my husband had seen before, but eerily reminded my of a similar unreported event I witnessed alone more than 20 years ago. We are very curious as to whether we are alone in this sighting or if others witnessed the same. Our background: Both of us are in our early 40's, and are long-time business professionals and nature/wilderness enthusiasts. We moved from Southeast Michigan to western Michigan in June of 2016 and recently finished building our dream home on a small inland lake. We are not extremely religious individuals, nor are we convinced that Aliens exist or visit our planet. We're skeptical of many and trust only a few, and live our lives according to the "Golden Rule." Hopefully you can offer some insight to what we saw tonight.
