SIGHTING: YPSILANTI, MI

Witness Testimony

"I was outside taking pics of the aurora and decided to take a break with my phone’s camera and watch. As soon as I gazed up, I saw ~15 metallic-gray balls floating from the WNW in unison in a perfectly even-spaced V formation with no lights and absolutely no sound. They were low, flew/floated about a couple of hundred feet directly overhead. There were 2-story buildings and slightly taller trees around me, and they weren’t too high above those. I tried to get a picture of the formation, but I had been taking aurora pics for a while, and my phone was acting up. I did take a screenshot of the time so I could go back and look through the pictures, but I didn’t see any of the spheres. I tried to manipulate the lighting and stuff, but nothing showed up. They looked like they each had 2 slightly protruding circles, one horizontal and the other vertical, that were a slightly darker metallic color. They didn’t seem too big, all the same size, at least the size of a small compact car. Saw no motors, no openings, only the slightly protruding intersecting circles. There are lots of trees around, and I lost sight of them as they headed just ESE away from me after about 20 seconds, with 3 failed picture attempts. The sky was clear with faint aurora on the horizon, drowned out by city lights. If I wasn’t looking up right as they flew by I would have never known all that flew above me."
