Michigan UFO Sightings in 2012

Full Report Text:

Blues Greens and Purples. Flat shoelace like object changing into ball shape. It looked like a star but too bright and changing colors; thought maybe it was a star.

I was facing south, object was west of the moon and south of Orion's belt to start at the end it had moved at least 90 degrees WNW. You could tell it was changing from green-blue hues. I called my wife out (non-believer at this point) and she brought her camera (studio quality).

We took tons of photos and when zoomed in you can tell it is a long straight object changing from purple, green, white, blue, turquoise, and different shades of those. During our duration outside taking pictures we had watched it with the naked eye changing from a flat line to a ball or orb shape. It moved around in a zig-zaging and making what seamed to be horseshoes.

also we had noticed something come out of it only because it would blink red and disappear going north (you can only see this when it is flashing hard to capture in a picture). Upon further review of these photos we noticed the object started straight and from picture to picture you can see it change into almost a crooked T, to the shape of a italicized F into a ball (our eyes scene what we thought was a tail, we think the picture of the F shape). The pictures made it seam almost like we photographed a LED rope being wiggled until the F shape.

That made it mind blowing It would go way out of distance (atmosphere?) and come back flatten out and be in a different area. The strangest thing happened after our adrenaline was flowing like mad men: the pictures from tonight that was had been going through on the camera somehow were erased between pulling the SD from camera to computer. We are truly baffled because we took another picture after seeing they'd be deleted and it saved, none of the settings had been tampered with nor was the card full.

Are we the only ones who this has happened too. Did we take too many pictures and they "magically" get erased.? Please tell me someone has scene this flat object same colors, we are positive of what we have scene no possibility it was an air craft or jet.

We are by an airport and know what an airplane looks like. This was truly a mind blowing and almost life altering even to know what we have seen was real. You believe me.

Right.?.

Bright light in sky 12/28/2012 Riverdale, MI Last night, at 8:00 pm, I was coming home from work, traveling south on a county road. I noticed in the sky about 300 feet above tree level a bright white light. After about a mile I concluded it must be a spotlight from a helicopter.

The light remained fixed, slightly to the east of the road. As I approached my home I turned into the drive and the light remained fixed in the sky above and behind my garage. As my headlights illuminated the garage the light dropped rapidly behind the garage.

I parked my car and walked to the back of the yard to investigate. The tree line, approximately 600 feet in back of a tilled field, was backlight with a bright light. I went into the house retrieved a flashlight and camera.

I then proceeded down a lane on the south property line. The backlight was no longer bright but more of an amber color. Because it was a full moon and the ground was snow covered I kept the flashlight off as I approached.

I was within 100 feet of the tree lin! e when the amber light went suddenly out. At this point I lost my nerve and returned to the house, locked the door and closed the curtains. This morning I walked to the back of our property to complete my investigation.

There was nothing to indicate anything unusual happen the night before.

Ten spheres flying in a line from north to south in the western sky I was outside at 19:35 trying to get the dogs to stop barking and I saw these strange lights flying in the western sky from north to south. They did not make any sound at all. They are moving too fast to not have engines so no they aren't hot air or weather balloons.

SO, what are they? They could stop and go in the sky too. You can see them slowing down significantly and stopping to the southwest of my vantage point and then taking off again. At about 19:46 they just disappeared.

Five yellow/orange lights, no sound traveling east. Saw three yellow lights in a triangle formation below the clouds, no sound at all. They were traveling west to east and disappeared but were then followed by two more lights in single formation.

We were not the only ones to see them as we were driving and other cars pulled over to watch. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Five billowy oval reddish lights passing west to east at 18:55 EST over Charlotte, MI on 12/22/12 At 18:55 EST on 12/22/12 over Charlotte, Michigan, two adults and a 13 year old saw 5 reddish lights passing west to east in the dark evening sky. They somewhat resembled Chinese lanterns as they seemed kind of billowy, but they were moving very fast. They were so far up in the sky it was impossible to recognize anything except that they had a reddish color and appeared oval shaped.

It took about 15 seconds for the lights to pass. They took turns passing each other as they headed east. They were visible in the eastern sky as red dots making the eastern sky reddish in appearance for fifteen minutes.

Then the sky went dark.

2 UFO's spotted in Perry, MI. It looked like 2 headlights in the sky, they didn't stay steady, they were very low to the ground, and it moved and stopped moving. After 2 or 3 minutes there was a bright light pointing on a field about a mile or 2 away from us.

About 2 minutes later is started to move east. The light dissappered about 3 different times.

grey/silver cigar shaped object hovering 1000about yards above the ground west of Port Huron, Michigan around four o clock pm A silver/grey cigar shaped object, hovering about 1000 yards. Above the ground it did not move in any direction. It is a cloudy day, however, the "UFO" was easy to see, becouse of it proxsimity to the ground.

The "UFO" was about a mile away. I was watching it out of the drivers side window (looking north) of my car as i drove east bound down I-94 east twards Port Huron. Near Waddoms road.

I was on my way to class at Baker College. This is my first "UFO" sighting. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Very personal sighting. I walked outside my barn and looked up in the sky and two of them flew up over my head at about 20,000 ft. I stared up at the two lights because i knew they were looking down on me because right when i walked out and looked up they focused their light down on me.

They either lost interest or sensed my uneasiness and their lights dimmed as they flew off from a complete stand still.

Object too large, too close and too low while seeming to hover, then fade away Shortly after 4am, I was already awake and lying in bed, when I saw lights out my window. It seemed unusual because it was low and behind a tree (but very visible) on the next property. It appeared as horizontal shape (with a slight arc or curve) which led me to believe that it was disk shaped.

It appeared too large or wide and too low, making it so unusual. There were lights and they did appear to flash, but there was no sound, which I found weird because it seems so close. This object appeared to hover, while the lights flashed, then just seemed to disappear from sight.

I hesitate to say this for some reason, but in 1976 in Tucson, AZ., I also observed an object, at fairly close range and it just occurred to me that the lights and the shape were/ are exactly the same for both. There was another witness in ‘76.

Red Fireball in Southeastern Michigan sky 11/22/2012 My husband and I were standing in the driveway of my mom's house (Thanksgiving Day 2012) and we noticed what appeared to be a red fireball coming our direction (heading north east). It was much lower than an airplane which caught our attention. It moved swiftly but slow enough to get a good look at it.

My husband describes it acting like a jet engine as it looked like someone may have been "accelerating" and the red colored fireball would intensify in color and then return to its original red fireball appearance. It kept doing this (accelerating type of activity) without making any noise. There was nothing else in the sky around it .

just this one fireball. We watched it move northeast until it went out of our line of sight. I kept checking the websites to see if anyone else in the downriver area had this same experience and have not seen any reports to date.

Heading west on 16 mile, what first appeared to be a cloud gradually changed shape into an upside down triangle with a bright orange hue, this shape flattened and got brighter and it looked like something may be entering the earth's atmosphere,. It disappeared for 1.5 minutes and reappeared again in the same way for about 30 seconds.

Red fireball shaped object that formed shapes and vanished. Many red fireball shaped objects floating up from ground, formed shapes then vanished. Very intriguing and concerning as well! ):.

Three bright orange lights move in formation I went to look out the window before heading up to bed around 11:50-midnight. It was foggy but there was a crystal clear sky above. Lots of stars visible.

But also, above the eastern horizon, above the tree line (25-45 degrees above the horizon I’d guess) was three bright orange/gold lights, like fireballs perhaps or like the golden glow of burning bits from a firework that fall to the ground at the 4th of July. They were, of course, in a triangle formation being three of them but they were configured in a way that appeared as if they were attached to a monstrous jet plane. The lights were brighter than any star in the sky and bigger too.

It did not appear to be moving much at first but looked as if it were perhaps coming at us. My husband joined me at the window to see. It turned, all three lights in formation, to the north as if it were a jet banking to land and began to head in that direction.

I ran outside to see if I could hear anything but t! here was no sound and by the time I got out there it was fading and I watched the last light trail off to the north until it disappeared/burned out. There was no noticeable flickering, barely a wavering of the light but it faded to a darker gold/brown before disappearing completely as a coal extinguishing slowly. All of the movement was very slow, no sharp turns or sudden acceleration.

We thought first of the leonid meteor shower and hoped it was related but neither of us had seen any meteor behave in such a way.

Orange ball ufo that I got a very good look into it. I watched a orange ball of light that was flickering travel in a straight line from horizon to horizon and almost directly over head as it passed my location. It was lower than the cloud that was directly over head also.

It is hard to guess at the size and speed with nothing to compare it to but I think it was twice or maybe three times the size of a jumbo jet and it was moving very fast. I decided as I saw it coming to not try to use my phone cam or run to get a cam, I decided to observe the best I could and it passed so close that I got a really good look at it. The flickering of the orange light seemed to appear as a distortion of some kind, not fire, and I could see a structure inside.

I could not see the structure well but I very well saw straight lines of a structure, a few straight lines parallel to each other. It was perfectly round as it appeared round coming towards me, above me, and leaving me. I can only guess, but I think the flickering is a time or space distortion and perhaps that is its propulsion system.

It made absolutely no noise at all. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD)).

A loud, quickly moving, cross-shapped aircraft emitting an extremely bright light witness by myself along with my brothers and father At about 11:50 pm, Eastern Time, on November 11th, 2012, my younger brothers noticed a bright orange light in the sky. The light seemed to be about 500 feet away from our house, located behind my neighbor’s house. They both immediately called my father and me.

My dad was on the phone so I went to go look at the light from my brother’s bedroom window. The light seemed to be stationary at first; however it slowly started moving to the north. We called my father and he watched it with us for roughly two to three minutes.

The light again started moving a little further north for another minute. Then it began to rise rather quickly. It seemed to be about 60 to 80 feet in the air.

Then it seemed that the light started to get bigger; however it began moving to the west, towards us. It traveled extremely fast, crossing about 500 feet in a matter of 10 seconds. As it traveled it produced an extremely loud humming sound.

As it approached our location the bright light seemed to die out! . It crossed in between mine and my neighbor’s house, so to get a better look I ran to the other bedroom down the hallway. Once I got to the window I looked and seen that it was some sort of aircraft.

The aircraft seemed to be like a cross, with a triangular front. It seemed to be about 30 feet long, and 15 feet wide. The sides of the aircraft seemed to be very straight with a point at the end.

It had two antenna-like lights coming off the front end of it and another antenna-like light at the tail end of it. The antennas were about 7 feet long with a diamond shape light at the end and the lights all a very bright red. At the front of the aircraft, there seemed to be some sort of headlights.

They were dim, but I was still able to notice them quite easily. There were no lights on the sides of the craft. As the aircraft passed, the bright light it emitted turned on again.

It seemed to be almost like some sort of searchlight and was located behind the headlights. As the aircraf! t kept traveling west, it just vanished. Almost like a quick f! ade out.

I do understand that it is a possibility that it could have been airplane of some sort, however there are a few airports only several miles away from where I live so I see many planes flying by all the time and never experienced any behaving in this fashion with such a bright light or moving with so much noise. UPDATE: at 12:35 am ET, I heard the loud humming noise once again except I wasn’t able to locate the aircraft or where the sound was coming from. The noise lasted for about 35 seconds and seemed to be moving from north to south.

My brother took several photos of the aircraft and a video; however, it’s a small dot in the pictures and video. Although, you can see how bright the light is compared to the light my neighbor has on the side of his house. P.

S., the gentleman who answered the phone when I called was extremely rude.

Tonight in Clinton Township, Michigan, at approximately 8 pm EST, I was east bound on Metroparkway (16 Mile road), and arrived at the intersection of Garfield and Metroparkway. As I approached the red light, I noticed 3 lights, each of them both red and white/clear, like a brake light and headlight (each), in a triangle formation stop over the traffic light/intersection and hover for a moment, and then head northwest (from south east to northwest direction). It moved very slowly over the top of the trees.

When I got home, I posted on facebook that I had seen something strange and asked if anyone else had. One of the leaders from my church posted that her teenage daughter and friends had been at the intersection of 15 and Utica (southeast of where I saw it), and they saw a huge ball of fire fall from the sky, and then break into 3 separate lights like a UFO and move toward the direction of Metroparkway and Garfield.

Red low flying object over Ypsilanti. Low speed flight, with a climb then light went away I was with my mother driving home from work. The street we were on is called "Grove Road" I noticed the object to my left.

It looked as if it was flying through clouds. It was very low to the deck, I want to say maybe 400-500 feet. It was a red color.

My first impression of this was a meteor, but, it was flying level. Also I want to add that I thought the windshield of the car was making the object red. My mom insited we pull over and get out and take a look.

We drove for maybe a few more yards before we stopped. Before we stopped my mom rolled down her window to see if we could hear anything. Nothing was heard.

The best way to describe the range of the object from us was like at an Airshow. The object then made a climb and the color began to turn from a dark red to a red with white in it. It was stationary for a bit, then it continued on its path and the light just went out.

I saw no landing light nor FAA lights on the object.

white and orange triangles hovering, then moving, no sound. For the last three Thursdays between 7 and 9 pm, my son and his neighbors have observed two UFOs in the sky. They have bright orange lights which go from very bright to non-existent.

They make no sound and either hover in one spot or move across the sky, sometimes slowly and sometimes very fast. They are in the shape of a "V" from what he can tell. He called me November 8, 2012, about 7 PM, and said, "They were back again.

" This time I drove to his house and observed them myself and they what he claimed. His neighbors also saw them. I took this picture and when I uploaded the photo to my computer they definitely appeared to have a "V" shape.
