Two witnesses along Michigan's Upper Peninsula reported seeing as many as 30 UFOs on September 2, 2009, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.
Six of the crafts were reported as "large," and four more were smaller, "blue and white, stayed in constant formation, like escorts for larger crafts."
The objects moved from one horizen to the other in a single second.
Three objects were described as "saucer shaped," and were reported as seeming to land in Lake Michigan. The crafts came as close as between 800 and 1,000 feet to the witnesses.
The following is the unedited witness statement from MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Michigan MUFON investigates and reports back on this case, I will update this page. The following report is unedited.
MI, September 2, 2009 - Saw 13 UFO’s 6 large ships. MUFON Case # 19037.
witness called into dispatch, has no access to computer at this time, dispatch took report for witness:
Dispatcher: Steve Cox
Witness: Ryan and Josh (Ryans Cousin)
Location Uper Peniscala, lives right near the water, of main route
Saw 13 UFO’s 6 large ships
4 Smaller crafts, blue and white, stayed in constant formation, like escorts for larger crafts, went from one horizon to the other in 1 second
4 huge rings ring’s with crafts flying out of the ring, multiple colors, seems to float up and up high in the sky and disappeared watch for atleast 30 minutes
3 saucer shaped crafts went about a mile a second, stopped hovered and seem to land in lake Michigan, ran down street to seem them but they were gone, called his cousin who was driving near the lake and saw them in the Bay between Michigan and Wisconsin.
witness estimates at least 30 crafts in the air at one time, the sky was filed with crafts.
None of these crafts made a sound, moved in all directions
Witness didn’t see it but Swears they landed on earth or in the water.
Number of crafts went directly over his head no more than a ¼ mile above him. States it looked like they were shooting missiles.
Seemed like military action with formation, Cousin saw 3 larger crafts 1 red, with blue crafts next to it, and 2 large crafts staying in constant formation with red craft, would change, positions, one would move up to front point the other would drop to the rear.
Closest craft got between 800-1000 feet from witness
Would like to show his drawings to an investigator,

The objects moved from one horizen to the other in a single second.
I don't anyone could count them or even tell what shape they were if they were moving that fast. They'd just be a blur.
If you read the actual report ... they indicate observing the objects for some 30 minutes ... the 1 mile in 1 second pertains to an instance where they observed a craft .. move, what in their estimation was, about a mile in a single second....
Google "UFO" and then click NEWS as opposed to WEB above the search box ... and you'll notice that hundreds of such reports are coming into newspapers around the world on a weekly basis ... it reminds me of when the American Indians reported seeing great sailing ships from the shoreline ... no one of course would listen .. because canoes just can't do that ... and you know what .. once the landings started ... things didn't work out very well for those ignoring their fellow tribesmen ... I only wonder what the daily count needs to get to before anyone wakes up and asks .. "what's going on ?" ...
Sorry Larry, but I must disagree with you...In the 70's while sunbathing in my back yard, I also saw a similar incident...Just as I looked skyward I noticed a silvermetalic cigarshaped object so high in the horizon that it looked like a fingernail clipping (in size), and it also went from the east to the west and out of sight in an nanosecond...and I was able to see it very clearly...that was over 40 years ago and I remember it like it happened yesterday...some things you never forget...
Enough time to describe what was observed ~*
I live in U.P. and did not see this in any local media.
Whereabouts exactly.
Sounds like it's southern U.P.along Lake Michigan shoreline - maybe southern Schoolcraft County or further east.
i was hunting this past saturday and just as it was getting too dark to see i saw 2 things in the air,they both were flying around over me and i was able to watch them for about 20 min.

Driving E on US 2, Kimball, WI. Saw Large Glowing White Diamond At about midnight. 3 witnesses. One half mile N of US 2 and West Branch Montreal River Bridge. Craft was the size of a large 2 story house. Saw it iitially at 4 mi or so slowly dropping out of clouds high in sky then it hovered above the forest at about 100 ft and lit everything up for about a half mile. I speed up my car and got the heck out of there!
