Full Report Text:
Line of Lights over Canton, MI I was driving down Warren Road in Canton, Mi at about 8:15 p.m. with my friend when I saw about 8 to 10 lights in the sky.
The lights were East of my location at about a 15 degree angle of elevation in a slightly curved line and the middle was made up of lights that formed triangles with one UFO that was in front. The lights were white with a yellow tint. Before we pulled over, we saw an airplane banking and flying towards the UFOs.
The airplane had a red a blue light and was moving faster than a private or commercial plane. Five minutes later after we pulled over, they were moving West towards us and were then at a 45 degree angle of elevation. While I was trying to get my phone out of my car to take a picture, my friend started to yell from the field, “Hurry up, they’re disappearing!” By the time I got to where he was in the field, the lights had disappeared.
My friend told me that the light in the front had started to rise vertically but slowly, but then increased speed and was gone in an instant. The other lights in the line then disappeared the instant the lead UFO had flew up, according to him.
