Bancroft, MI
I was driving at night on 69 going east. I had just approached the Bancroft 1 mile exit sign when I saw a bright light falling out of the sky at super sonic speed. Within 3 seconds it had disappeared and seemed to have fallen in a field to the right side of my car. It looked like it fell about a mile ahead of where my car was driving at the time. But also wondering if it could of appeared closer than it actually was. Too fast to tell.

Woodland, MI
While letting out my dogs I noticed a bright orange light in the distance (about 2 acres away) that looked like fire in the trees/tree line. I told my dad it looked like the top of the trees were on fire. I grabbed my binoculars by the door to see what it was. I could not find the bright orange light in the trees because I was stuck on the big dark triangle object hovering a ways down the yard. While looking at it the object appeared to be a dark blurr as if it was something standing still but moving at the same time. My dad said "where did the light go" because he left to grab his phone and by the time he got back the orange light in the tree line was gone and when I looked back into the binoculars that object had disappeared.

Albion, MI
As I was driving west on I94 from Albion I noticed an H shapped craft in the clear sky that was almost stationary and appeared to have 2 short vapor trails under each leg of the bottom of the H shape. A passenger in a car passing me saw it also.

Riverdale, MI
The strange disk just appeared, it was white but reflected the sunrise. It travelled in a straight path and was going incredibly slowly. There was no jet stream, no observable wings and there was no planes scheduled to fly through the area at the time of sighting. Our view was obscured by a tree, in which it then disappeared.

saw a bright silver metallic object in sky moving shape and then saw a disk shaped turned into side way, and disappeared. It was a clear bright sunny day with no clouds so sighting were clear and I am 150% sure the object got disappeared. It was moving in south direction from the city Farmington Hills, Michigan at around 1:45 PM EST

Shelby Township, MI
I was driving and saw a bright strange looking single round light in the sky that, when it caught my eye, was already falling down towards the Earth, moving slightly faster than free fall speed. As it got closer to the ground it just disappeared, almost as if behind clouds. As it came down I was like “what is that? A bomb or something?” I have never seen a shooting star like that, it looked larger and clearer and just a different kind of light. Hard to explain but it just seemed very different, and I tend to stargaze a fair amount. It did sort of fade out I guess, but not like a shooting star, and it was slower than a shooting star, way slower.

Triangle shape of lights moved from east to west in front of the the Orion belt formation the triangle had an equal length of lights on each side. The lights were dim as if they were far away and traveled in a straight line the sighting only last 3-5 seconds then my whole body got chills.

It’s night here, so all we can see are two lights and they are not moving at all. My neighbor reported it to police and was told that they are getting many reports of it. Whatever it is is completely stationary. Jupiter and Venus

The 2 glowing orb like objects seem to be connected it is not moving and is to low to ground to be a star or planet 2 to 3 times the size of a star and super bright more than likely man made but I don’t know I have asked some people that know a lot about this stuff and they all said that can’t be star or planets but they have no idea what it is there is a glowing circle around the iteams and my cats are hiding and are hardly coming out.

From the window of my friend's apartment we saw two balls of light in a sky without any stars. They were a cool color and one looked further away than the other. It is still there as I'm writing this. Using sky finder, there is no constellation or star that should be there. Jupiter and Venus

Rockwood, MI
I visually witnessed 2 bright white lights in stack formation traveling the same speed. They slowed and stopped in unison. They remained at this position for 2 hours. They were white and dimming down to a small amber and then returning to a bright white much larger. There were no other colors. I reported this to the Rockwood Police at 7:22 PM. I saw a neighbor and showed him. We viewed them for 15 minutes. I went back to my house and viewed them in the Sam position for 1 1/2 hours in this held position. They began to defend slowly stopping at points in unison. This went on for 45 minutes until they went out of sight. Photo consistent with Venus and Jupiter's position that night

I was laying in bed at a family member’s house when I saw through the window the sky turned a bright blue, and started pulsating even like the northern lights. I thought maybe it was a cop car, but quickly noticed it was the entire sky and there were NO sirens or red lights around. It really resembled the northern lights is the best way to describe it.

An extremely large, translucent and Pyramid shaped object seen spinning and pulsing a deep blue light across the neighborhood . Thought it was police lights at first , but they were darker and lit up the entire block across from my house. The lights pulsed at a steady frequency, and the power on our block never went out. This implies it may have started the transformer malfunctions seen around the city , but it was definitely the source of light from almost every video I've seen so far of the sky. It was almost invisible to the eye, probably using an electromagnetic resonating device as a cloak. I could see the outline of the object and it's three sides as it spun at rapid speeds. I ran towards it and tried to get it to take me but it shrunk and disappeared ? Looked like Antman the super hero when he goes into the subatomic realm. Lasted anywhere from 30 seconds to 90 seconds before dissapearing from sight. The object was not emitting a sound but rather a vibration that I could feel in my ears and body. Probably infrasound of anywhere from 0-0.00002hz . Object hovered and spun about 50 to 75 feet above the northeast corner of the cemetery on Martin just east of Gratiot. Looked to be about 100 feet across all sides of the base. I Have been feeling it's vibrations for about two weeks and it is still there and tangibly detectable. Once inside the house I found my ankle was swollen and I didn't know how, my roommate heard it but was in a trance like state upstairs and said she could not get up to look. My second room mate saw everything that I saw and felt the vibrations as well. She has also been hearing them hanging out, outside of the house for a while. It is still out there somewhere I can hear it now.0

I am a Pilot at PTK airport, been there for years and know what normal airport activity looks like. At approximately 21:00 I was on the ground and saw west of the airport white and green lights spinning and plummeting out of the sky incredibly fast. At First thinking it was a plane crashing I pointed out to the lineman next to me. After seeing it for slightly longer it was far too brightly lit, large, and moving much too fast to be any standard plane. It appeared to be plummeting to the ground and disappeared over the horizon line. ATC at the airport tower did not see it with there only being a skeleton crew left at the time. Only one plane was in the air near the airport and traveling in the opposite direction as the lights. I have been flying out of that airport for years and seen thousands of different planes and helicopters come in and out. I fly myself and have a comprehensive knowledge of aviation. That thing looked like nothing I have ever seen and I’m so baffled as to what it could be.

The UFO was flying low and fast between nimbus clouds. It was a bluish semicircle about as big as the top of my little finger nail in my field of vision, about 70 degrees above the horizon in the North-West portion of the sky. The edges of the object were difuse and it made absolutely no sound. I saw it while standing in my backyard. There was no storm activity. I am 64 years-old and this is the first time I have ever seen anything like it. I was in the USAF and am acquianted with aircraft, balloons, Starlink, but have never seen anything like this. We have no active swamps (It's now winter and dry). We're at 42 degrees, 36 minutes North and 84 degrees 7 minutes West.

My husband was traveling for business to a larger city about 3 hours from our rural town. It was a beautiful starry evening for traveling especially for February. It was almost 8:00PM when I got an excited call from my usually calm mannered husband. He was amazed to be seeing the Starlink satellite in the sky. Suddenly, however, an orange, round fireball object shot from west to east across the sky. He was beyond frantic, even as a veteran of the US Air Force with training in defense and in remaining calm under extreme circumstances. As we were talking another one hurdled across the sky. He managed to catch the tail end of it on his cell phone camera. He thinks other motorists were equally alarmed as traffic slowed when it happened, yet it was so quick, he said, one could have missed it if not engaged. He honestly thought some sort of attack was underway and was concerned with being 3 hours from home. My daughter and I had just arrived home to our rural property. He asked us if we could see anything unusual. The sky was a velvet black blanket shimmering with stars: it was beautiful! We didn’t see anything, at first. Then suddenly from the northeast a round, orange ball of light came corkscrewing across the sky! It did not fly in a straight line, it corkscrewed! Remember, my husband is 3 hours from my location, and now we’re seeing the same orange balls in the sky! My daughter and I actually jumped up, I with an expletive, in fear! There was no noise to the orange ball, and it didn’t reflect on the ground. It was gone almost as quickly as it came into view, and we were awestruck and horrified. I was still on the phone with my husband who was mortified not to be home. We watched for a bit longer, but nothing occurred and the February chill got the best of us. My daughter and I went into our house, and no other experiences were seen by any of us. Interestingly, and perhaps related, our cat and dog were very active that day. You WILL see the Starlink satellite in the first picture with the orange ball in the lower left corner of the picture but, as I said the orange ball was traveling so fast my husband just snapped the picture, hoping to catch it. The second picture is just a blown up view of the orange ball from the first picture.
