Full Report Text:
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.

6 bright yellowish orange objects sighted, 4 disks, 1 rectangular box, and 1 line increasing in size downward,then vanished. Driving west on Ellsworth, I sighted six bright yellowish orange objects in the sky to the right of the moon. Four were disk shaped, one was like a rectangular box that seemed a little transparent and one was a long line that continued to increase in size.
I had been speaking with my brother who lives in Brighton, on the cell phone. Upon sighting this, I pulled over and told him to look to the west. He also saw the long bright orange colored line and had his son get this telescope.
Due to trees in his areas, he could not spot the other objects. All of a sudden, all six objects simply disappeared.

White Orb with 2 red lights takes gift. I found a locust in my above ground pool and I saved him. I picked him up with my net and placed him on a table to dry out.
Later on, my son and I went for a swim in our pool. This locust flew by us as he was buzing the tower several times. The next evening I was sitting on my back porch smoking and I noticed an flat white orb in front of my garage.
I also noticed two red lights next to it. I didn't know if it was a spirit or an ufo. I decided at that point that I would give it something.
I went inside and got something, but when I came back, it was gone. I knew it would be back the next day, and it was. The orb was not there, but the 2 red lights were.
I put the gift on the pool filter unit, and it hesitated. So, I took it off and stood outside. I noticed that it could not be above electrical units.
As I was stepping away, the item slowly left my pouch. So they got it. What's next? ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date is approximate.
PD)).

Triangle shaped craft traveling East over Ypsilanti Triangle lights craft seen over my house in Ypsilanti slowly traveling south, I immediately knew it wasn't a plane or anything else I could identify so I told my mom to look out the window and she barely looks and says it's a plane. I argued with her because she didn't even look at it and I wanted to say that there were two witnesses on this report. I know it was not a plane.
The craft floated southwards with three major lights blinking in sequence, it moved very slow and it seemed to be rather low but I noticed it go behind some clouds and light them up. The second craft was seen about 5 minutes after and it looked to be 3X higher up than the first and it was moving very slowly still and headed Eastward.

Triangle craft traveling back and forth East and West over Ypsilanti around 10:30 The second night in a row that I saw triangle shaped craft flying over my house in Ypsilanti. They flew over East to West around 10:30 pm and West to East around 10:45 pm. The craft looked to be triangular judging by the light position; lights would blink in sequence one after the other, and the lights may have been changing color.
The night before my sister and I had seen something and she saw it and didn't know what it was, this time she said it was a plane, but I trust my judgement more than hers. Before I ever say anything I make sure it isn't a plane.

group of triangle shape "ufo"s fly westward over Ypsilanti, Mi at 10:30 on 6/21/2012 3-4 triangle shape ufos flying east to west over Ypsilanti/Pittsfield Township towards Saline, Mi. Multicolored alternating blinking lights on each side of the triangle with solid white lights on each corner. craft was flying with a broad side of the triangle first, not a point of the triangle.
flight seemed to be fast, but it's hard to tell the distance, the craft moved easier through the air than any planes, as if there were no resistance. one craft flew west until the flashing lights couldn't be seen behind the clouds, but it didn't go over the horizon, it went in a straight line out and up. another craft may have veered southwest or south from the east.

One large craft flying from west to northeast over Ypsilanti MI; large, with blinking/flashing lights (red and white) Last night my sister and I saw a UFO and reported it and it was incredible that we were both seeing the same thing, and that thing was a real UFO that to the best of my knowledge could only be aliens, but as for now it is unidentified. Tonight at 11:15 I was in bed and looked out my west window and saw a flying objects with blinking lights. When I saw the blinking lights I immediately thought it was a plane, but right after I saw the first blinking lights, the craft revealed more of itself and I saw many blinking lights, far more than any plane should have.
At this point the craft does look like it could be circular/saucer type form. After I saw this on the west side of my house I go to wake up my sister in her room on the east side and look out and we saw the craft much farther south north than I had anticipated when waiting for it to come back into my view. The entire time the object moved relatively slowly compared to a plane but that depends on the height.
We saw the lights get farther away as it moved north-easterly and over some houses and trees. The second time I saw the craft it was much more saucer looking; the lights were more in line now. One large craft flying from west to northeast; large, with blinking lights of various colors (the notable ones being red and white) possibly a saucer style.

Diamond/trapezoid craft flying north over Ypsilanti, Mi My sister and I were in our living room watching tv and out of the window facing west my sister stared and muted the tv and told me to look and I did. We both saw a diamond like shape craft (assuming the shape because of the placement of the lights, it was too dark to see anything other than the lights) The craft flew from south to north, it did seem to move pretty fast and it was once it flew over some trees that we saw how close it was, it was much closer than an airplane would be at its highest and if an airplane were landing it would still be closer possibly. it looked more like it was gliding, not like most flying aircraft, not even gliding but sliding like it was being pulled along a track, it changed speeds because once we noticed it go over the trees we saw the lights afterwards for another 30 to 40 seconds and it was getting lower.
We’re very sure it wasn’t a plane, it moved to weird to be a plane. Also, I’ve seen something relatively similar to wh! at I saw tonight out that window before and going in the same directing and making almost the same course, each time the lights have seemed the same a diamond-like trapezoid; three lights in a line with the middle set more to the back, and one more above the middle light. This is the first time someone else has seen it with me.

Black oval object disappeared in orange mist. I was driving when I noticed two rays of light coming from the sky. I looked up and that's when I saw an oval black object hovering.
There was no sound. I grabbed my cell phone and tried to take a picture but all I got was the black sky. Since I couldn't get a picture I tried to get as much detail as possible.
A matter of seconds later the object vanished in a orange mist. It was Amazing and I am so disappointed I couldnt get a picture.
