Allegan, MI
Saw a bright light in the sky. As I took a closer look I noticed it was hovering far in the distance and it was flashing red, green, and white lights. I watched for ten minutes and then went inside to get my parents, we all then went outside and witnessed this object hover high in the air for a long duration of time. We then witnessed two (what we were assuming were jets) fly toward the hovering object at a very fast rate and got very close to it and flew away. We then watched it slowly descend over time until it disappeared into the distance. This all happened over a duration of 1 hour.

20 September 2015 Observed 9:06-10:31pm When I went out to walk my dog I noticed 4 objects in the west sky in the following formation: X X X X They seemed to be sort of elongated, with different colour lights. I thought they looked a bit odd for planes, but figured that was what they where…they didn’t seem to be moving at all though. I walked the dog around the block (our neighbourhood is tree filled so I soon lost sight of them), and by the time I returned home some 20 minutes later, 3 of the objects had disappeared, but 1 (highlighted in yellow above.) remained. My husband and I looked at it thru binoculars, and from up close it didn’t look quite as long, (probably due to atmospheric conditions) but you could see it had blue, red, and green lights that blinked in rotation. It seemed to have small beams of pale light radiating a short distance from the underside of craft. It remained in the same position until we finally went inside.

Garden City, MI
Today, 9-19-2015, at about 22:30, driving home, I witnessed two orange circular objects flying in formation from west to east while driving west just southwest of my location. I pulled my vehicle over and began to record video with my cell phone. The two objects continued to travel east toward Detroit. When I got out of my car before starting to record again the trailing object spead off at unthinkable speed then the second object disappeared 5 seconds later. Neither light blinked allowing me to believe it was not an airplane. Both lights where to far apart to be lights on wings but to close and level to be two separate airplanes and traveling to fast to be helicopters.

Sand Lake, MI
I adjusted my position away from tree line interference and then object went into a weaving/bobbing pattern in the SE. Again, this is at high speed and a larger light than I've ever seen in the sky. I re-adjusted my position again to confirm what I was seeing. After 3-4 minutes I lost the object to the horizon or possibly clouds. The weather was partly cloudy however the sky was clear in the area where I first noticed the object. Approximate time was 12:50 a.m. 9/19/2015.

The ufo moved around the sky in the same general area up and down and side to side. It showed both red and green lights at the same time and then white only for a while.

Saint Clair Shores, MI
I have been observing a single super bright flash of light lasting one to two seconds from my patio in the NW sky for most of the month of September. I have observed it on about a dozen occasions, generally within the same sky space with some slight deviations of placement. Because I have seen it regularly, I am unsure if it is flashing continually throughout the night. I have attempted communication via responding flashes of light utilizing a 1,000,000 candlepower portable hand held light. No response. I attempted to locate it with 10X50 Binoculars and have seen nothing in the area where the flash occurred. I theorize it is possible but unlikely that it is Google or Government Satellite taking high resolution photographs of detailed portions of smaller incremental areas of Earth but cannot understand why at night or the need for a "flash."

Saint Clair Shored, MI
We were traveling on Jefferson south bound heading home. My son stops talking and is looking up at the sky so I look too. There is this bright light (my son says it was a triangle shape. I was driving so I could not study it like he was) way up in the sky. At first I thought maybe an airplane but it was not moving. We are both looking at it, as we are looking at it, it disappears. No smoke, nothing, just gone.

Bay City, MI
One huge dark triangle aircraft flew slowly past my back yard at an unusually low altitude. The craft had green red and blue lights on it. It made a loud humming noise as it cruised.

Grand Rapids, MI
Sitting on porch with husband. We both saw a bright round white light fly quickly through the sky and low. The light was very bright and did not flash at all. There was no sound at all and close enough where if it was a helicopter or plane, we would have heard the noise. Very little cloud coverage, mild temperature, and very little wind. Because it was at night, we were unable to see if there was a trail left behind. No meteor showers at this time.

Cedar Springs, MI
Driving north on US 131, approximately one mile south of the Cedar Springs exit. A bright round light appeared in the sky, as bright as a headlight. About the size of a quarter in our perspective. It appeared and then shot a short distance, leaving a tale then disappeared. We assume a nighttime sighting, and have amended the time above. PD

Saline, MI
My wife told me there was something odd going on in the sky over the parking lot for our townhouses. I came to the window just as three pinkish red orbs rose over the tree tops in the S/SW. They at first reminded me of helicopters, but I immediately noticed there was no sound what so ever as they moved. They were spread out in a line, which smoothly reformed into a triangle as they continued to move. Then they stopped for a moment and made a 90-degree turn and proceeded in the new direction. They traveled for about a minute, stopped and broke the triangle, and reformed into what reminded me of the configuration of stars in Orion's belt. As they hovered the object on the right of the formation dwindled in size and brightness till it disappeared. The other two followed suit within about two minutes. I had the distinct impression that the diminishment was due to the objects moving away from us, much like a ship on the horizon.

Warren, MI
Me and a friend saw four orange lights come from the northeast in pairs. The pair rose from the horizon, pulsating in unison. One light was farther away than the other, so its light was more faint. The initial pair disappeared. Then about 3 minutes later two more lights appeared from the northeast horizon in a similar formation and persisted for about two minutes heading northwest until disappearing.

Galesburg, MI
I was driving home near a cornfeild, on the edge of the field was this blue whisp like light moving horizontally and dashing vertically leaving a light trail of blue behind it. The light increased speed and blazed off at high speeds. The light was about the size of a basketball.

Holland, MI
I stayed in one position for 45 minutes and used a very mature white pine tree as a point of reference. It became apparent that the "star" wasn't a star but a hovering object moving very slowly in the sky. I took a picture the first night.

Freeport, MI
The full moon was in the east. Across the sky to the west, directly across from the moon, there was the brightest, largest light I have ever seen. My daughter saw it too. We stopped the car and watched it. It was very large and bright. It looked like vehicle headlights, but approximately five or size times bigger, and was low, but very far away. I was surprised no one else seemed to see it. I tried to take a picture on my cell phone but it did not show up on the screen. It wasn't moving, but disappeared 20 or 30 seconds later. I saw this exact same light about 3 weeks later, in the same place in the sky. I was about 6 miles southeast of the area where I first saw it. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Lawton, MI
She was sitting in our vehicle in a dark parking lot, waiting for me to get out of work to pick me up. Suddenly the parking lot began to light up with a bright amber color. This got her attention so she got out of vehicle and stood on the running board looking up in awe and unable to believe what she was witnessing. 2 UFO's that were different sizes, one really big and one small, they were clear circular-shaped objects with amber fire inside of them and they were descending from the north of Lawton and completely silent and floating much like helium filled balloons and then they were hovering at tree top level for just about 2 minutes and then they filled in with red fire and rapidly floated high in the sky almost straight up but with slight angle northward back to where they came from. Also, Mom said she felt bad because she was wishing that these UFO's wouldn't go away because she wanted us guy's to get to see them too. The following is what myself and 2 other guy's seen at exactly 11 P.M. when we clocked out of work and walked down the (wind tunnel) out of Welch's right up in the sky in our line of sight we seen 2 bright red light's, one big and one small moving northward (away from us) to us it looked like 2 planes following each other, it was kind of unusual/odd but we all passed them off as airplanes in the distance. Not until we made our way to the parking lot did we hear my Mom's account of what she had just seen did we realize how unusual this really was! This was not airplanes, helicopters or hot air balloons. So it had to have been Alien Spacecrafts !!!! I believe that these Alien's were curious about the area there because of the Lawton water tower and all of the giant outdoor round-shaped juice storage tanks at Welch's so they came down to check it all out.

West Bloomfield, MI
I saw three bright orange disc shaped objects hovering over the North side of the sky, making a triangle shape. It was way higher then any airplane and did not having flashing lights, only the orange light. One craft disappeared suddenly straight up. The other two stayed up and did not circle for two minutes. Then suddenly, one craft flew towards the last remaining craft and it appeared as if they became joined. The craft, or crafts suddenly flew upward and completely disappeared within five seconds.

We have changed the time, in order to reflect a nighttime sighting. However, the source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous, and provides no information, so NUFORC is unable to contact the individual to confirm our assumption. PD

Gaylord, MI
It was just like any other Sunday evening in Northern Michigan...... A few of my family members were coming home from town, they live approx. a mile from my house. Upon passing my driveway (opposite my driveway in a farm field), my sister, and her 2 year old daughter saw a large craft with blinking lights hovering in a field about 50 ft above ground level. When they reached their house they called and texted me to ask me if I was flying my drone, although my sister said she already knew the answer, as the craft was far too large to be mistaken for a drone. My niece was rambling on for hours after seeing the UFO. I don't know if I would believe anyone's account of this craft more than my sister, and niece. They sent a video of my niece running and rambling around, whilst my sister and her husband asked if it was an airplane..... or a drone... to each my niece would say "no... or kinda but different" Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Macomb Township, MI
I saw from my front door an Triangle UFO with orange lights standing still above my neighbors house across the street from my house. Standing next to this craft was 2 white lights at a 90 degree angle toward the triangle craft to the left of it. The sky was completely black with no stars out. I saw 1 bright light above the house on the north side of the house with the triangle craft. At first I thought it was the north star but questioned that thought later and decided it might have been another UFO just standing there like a guard. When I went to get my camera (less then 30 seconds) the triangle craft and the 2 white lighted crafts were gone. But suddenly I notice that is pairs of two there were crafts moving across the sky directly where the triangle craft had been sitting. There were 5 or 6 crafts moving across the sky all going in the same direction (and moving fairly slowly). I was able to take pictures of these 5 or 6 crafts and the pictures show the lights (all white with the exception of 1 orange which the pictures show. I was mesmerized while watching the crafts and today I have a feeling of disbelief. How many people really see a space craft standing still for that long. I could kick myself for not thinking of taking pictures immediately.

Higher than anything I have ever seen before in about six seconds. All four were a bright orange and red and no blinking lights. They also did not make any jet or sonic sounds.
