We were driving down Fergus road in Saint Charles, Michigan, when we noticed a large sphere or sorts giving above a field. We decided to turn down the road we followed it but it appeared as it landed in the road. As we were watching it and approaching it disappeared but we did not see it move it appeared as if the lights shut off we drove up to where it was and there was nothing there. The way it moved and behaved there is no way this was a drone.

Saw a bright blue light standing still then moving fast and repeating. Too fast and high to be a drone.

i saw a bright ball of light headed toward the GR airport. i thought it was a plane but i didnt see the normal flashing lights that a plane has...it was moving at at least the same speed as an airplane.. but it was like a bright start, a fairly big one like the north star. it moved downwards in direction <sort of on an angle> almost like it was gonna land in the area of theairport but then the light just went out..i moved to see if maybe it was because it went behind a tree but no, the light just cut out and it was gone..moments later form a different direction i see an airplane going across the sky..this was nice b/c it gave me something to compare this bright star-like object to..1st. the airplane was much smaller and less bright 2nd. the airplane had the usual flashing lights 3rd. it seemed further away but i just think it was smaller with smaller lights and thats why it seemed further away or maybe it was..i dont know for sure..the bright object de! finitely seemed like it was at a lower altitude though.. very neat..my 2nd sighting ever!

9:05 (sic. p.m.) Step out side to take off to the store, I had looked up at the sky scratched my head. Stumped, as I could not identify port and starboard indicators. These 17 objects appeared from these SouthEast headed Northwest. Not in proper flying uniform as you'd see military helicopters and or jets. Unusually low flying. These objects are all in same shape color, these objects were flying in a set destination headed some where unkown

Looked up at the sky and noticed that in the distance I could see what looked like a normal white coloured star that was moving across the sky towards my direction (started South & Headed North). It went directly over my house and kept going in a straight line, North. As soon as it passed my house and I had to turn my body around to follow it, this fast moving star like object became EXTREMELY bright white for about 15-20 seconds and then went back to a normal brightness of a star. I followed it with my eyes until it just got to far for my eyes to see. This lasted about 5 minutes total. Two minutes later I noticed ANOTHER moving object in the sky that again, looked like a moving star. This was moving in a completely different direction than the first one.(Started North&headed East) It seem to have came out of nowhere and I watched it go through the stars that make up "The Big Dipper" and I immediately lost it after that when my visibility was limited due to a random cloud.

I was lying on the roof of one of the buildings in my hometown with two of my close buddies after a night of hanging out. The building was three stories high and we climbed up there to look at the stars and talk about guy stuff. It was an unusually warm April night so we decided to stay out late and relax a little and enjoy the night. I was the only one who actually saw the craft, as I was the first one up on the roof and subsequently the first one to lie down and look up. It was an extremely clear night and as I laid their waiting for my buddies to catch up I noticed three stars making out a perfect triangle. At first I thought nothing of it as my eyes adjusted to the enormous amount of stars in front of me, but suddenly (and silently) all three stars making up the triangle began to move at an accelerated pace. My first reaction was “wow, that plane is flying really low.” But I immediately realized it was making no sound and there was absolutely no way this was an airplane. Within the span of no more than four second, the three starts making up the perfect equilateral triangle had moved from the eastern half of the night sky, directly over me, and then into the western half, vanishing simultaneously before ever reaching the western horizon. Over the span of four seconds, three stars, equidistant apart, moved across the entire night sky simultaneously before disappearing instantaneously into the night sky. I have no idea what I witnessed, and weeks later I am still baffled by what I saw. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My friend and I were taking the dog outside, and we were talking about work. I was looking upbat the stars, because it was so clear out (a few clouds but overall more stars than usual). I saw a star move, and thought it was maybe a little plane, but it would move to the north-northwest, stop for a moment, change direction, stop and move again. We watched the light for about 15 minutes before it blinked out.

March 20th 7:30 to 7:45 I was on my phone talking with my girlfriend driving due west down joy rd in Wayne county, Mi. The sky was clear, pink and blue as the sun set. I made a comment to her on what I thought was Venus ((sic. Jupiter)) making an appearance in the evening sky. I thought it odd for it should be in the East. The UFO was 45 degrees 55 degrees off the horizon due West and holding still. I made a mental note of 2 aircraft. The 1st a passenger jet flying due east at high elevation (Contrail) full visibility less than 100 miles out and closing fast with UFO off its South/East at the 1st planes 2 o’clock and at a lower ceiling.(UFO). Pilots had to see it. 2nd passenger jet was flying due North West at lower altitude full visibility of it in forefront climbing and closing in at 30 miles out. UFO would be maybe 80 miles due North/West of 2nd plane at a slight elevation to 2nd plane 10’oclock. Pilots had to see it. So as stated the UFO looked like VENUS bright and clear light. But when it dimmed which at first I thought maybe a light skim of cloud pass through it, I noticed it “Twinkling” the light it look as if it was rotating left to right. It grew bright again and then I thought Venus does “Not Twinkle” like a star. All the time I was giving play by play to my girlfriend on the phone. As both planes closed in on the UFO air space it just went dark, turnoff, disappeared, and vanished!!!! Just was not there anymore!!! It did not fly off it just went it to Cloaking mode. My original Face Book post 20 March at 20:08 Okay I thought I would share this with you all about 20 minutes ago I was driving due West and noticed a bright shiny light that I thought was Venus in the Western sky it kind of faded out and then got bright again. I thought it was the clouds fading out Venus in the Western sky but then the two planes that were flying in that direction got in view and the bright white light disappeared it wasn't Venus I saw in the Western sky and it sure wasn't a reflection of some plain headlight because it was way too big I thought it was the planet Venus, but I think I just saw a UFO it was a white bright orb and it disappear just like that !!!!!!!!!!!!

While I was getting reading for work in the morning (6:15ish), it was still very dark outside, I noticed an unordinary light pattern outside of my bedroom window. I looked outside and noticed that the light was coming from a triangular shaped object that was hovering in the sky. It appeared to be about 50 feet above the roof of a home about a block away. It was still, not moving at all, for the first 30 seconds or so that I saw it, and then it started to slowly float across the sky. The object was not making any sound at all but it did have bright white/yellow lights around the object. I quickly woke up my husband so that he could see this thing, and he also thought it was strange. We both saw the object slowly float through the sky and I followed it as much as I could before I could not see it anymore. I also noticed there was a regular airplane further up in the sky at the same time which seemed to be traveling normally across the sky. We live by an airport so I am used to seeing normal planes fly around our home. But this object was flying way closer to the ground than an ordinary plane would, it made no sound whatsoever, and it was just standing still for a while before moving slowly away-which is not typical airplane behavior. There were two vehicles that were driving down my street at the same time of the sighting and I am certain they had to see this object too-I was hoping to find a sighting report here to confirm that we are not crazy. :) Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

I was standing out in the middle of Coit Park this morning, looking up at the stars, when I happened to notice a large red light (about the size of a pea at arm’s length) slowly pulsing (3 seconds to full brightness then another 3 seconds to dim completely). It was coming from the south very slowly and as it approached overhead it came to a full stop and dimmed out of sight. Then I noticed another object of the same description slowly following in its path. As soon as that object reached the position of the first one, they “greeted” each other with a simultaneous bright red flash then moved in unison slowly to the north - dimming and brightening as one unit until they were out of sight. This lasted for about five minutes.

At this point I noticed what appeared to be a cloud but it was completely round, and as the sky was totally cloudless this really caught my attention. While watching the “cloud” I then saw a point of white light at its center. This point of light then zigzagged rapidly at about 45 degree angles after which it darted to the right (north) and went into a free-form looping pattern. It then zigzagged again, and with the “cloud” not completely covering it there seemed to be a triangular shape that possibly the light was zipping around the edge of. The light and its companion “cloud” then continued moving south, zipping, zigzagging and looping while moving across the sky until it went into the horizon and out of site. There is an airport nearby but this object did not move in the direction of that airport. There was no sound and the weather was exceptionally good – cloudless sky, very little wind. Watching this object took my attention away from the jet so I don’t know where it went but it was not in the direction of the object(s)or the airport. I have never seen anything like this and with all the political stuff going right now– the debates, the primary vote, Flint’s water issue, the guy in Kalamazoo shooting people – it’s really freaked me out. Could it be a drone? But reports of those include sound and this was completely silent.

I walked off my porch looked South and observed a yellow/white light the size of Venus, about 15 degrees above horizon. Being an amateur astronomer, I knew there should be no yellow lights near that position in the night sky. I was about to go get my binoculars, when the light moved due West about two miles in an instant. I observed it as a bar of white light as it moved. It then sat motionless for about 20 seconds. Then it went straight up and out of sight in an instant. Displaying the same bar of light that it had during its horizontal movement. I then went and got my binoculars and observed nothing in the position I last saw the light. Made no noise at all. Sky was moonless and winds calm about 32 degrees F. I am a member of MUFON. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be a serious-minded person. We suspect that he is an excellent observer, and witness. PD

A flash of bright turquoise light illuminated the sky for approximately 3-4 seconds. Two minutes later, another flash of the same colored light illuminated the sky for about 2-3. No craft was seen, and no sounds were heard. It’s worth mentioning that the area had just received heavy a downpour just hours before... In light of the surge of prank telephone calls our Center has received recently, and in light of the fact that the source of this report provides no contact information, we wonder whether it may be a hoaxed report.

I saw what I describe as a strange object in the sky skipping back and forth real fast then changing form from a brilliant blue pulsating light into a star burst object or similar to a firework explosion raining outward with multiple colors...the center remained a bright emerald blue sphere, with blue, red, white and green streams bursting from the top and bottom, then it transformed back into a bright blue emerald and repeated this process for 45 minutes. It was approximately maybe 7000 ft in the air, and moved back and forth in the same spot real quick. I tried to get a video recording with my cellphone but it couldn't capture the image.

5-6 sphere orbs floating over a cellular antenna as we were driving threw the city on the express way. When passenger noticed the yellow/orange orbs floating, I glanced and witness them floating. I would describe it as looking at Christmas lights in the form of 3-4 in a line and 2 behind them in a line with a gap between them. After looking away then glancing back it disappeared as we drove in a direction out of sight. We turned around to see if we saw it in the sky and it wasn't visable. It was pretty noticeable and I am really hoping there are other witnesses to this sighting. I've seen this once before over two years ago in the same city.
