Appearance / Description of Object(s)

I VIEWED THE OBJECT LOOKING AT THE BOTTOM SIDE OF IT. IT WAS ENOURMOUS, ROUND AND HAD A SPIRALING NEON GREEN COLORED DESIGN THAT MY FRIENDS AND MYSELF REFER TO AS LOOKING LIKE A LOWER CASE "E", OR A PINWHEEL.

Size of Object(s)

THE OBJECT WAS SEVRAL HUNDRED FEET ABOVE A 200 FOOT TALL RADIO TOWER. STRECHING MY ARMS OUT, IT WAS AT LEAST THREE FEET BETWEEN MY HANDS. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY IT WAS THE SIZE OF A LARGE STADIUM...

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

GUESSING I WOULD SAY IT WAS FOUR HUNDRED FEET ABOVE US.

Description of Area / Surroundings

THE DOWNRIVER AREA IS 15 MILES SOUTH OF DETROIT, VERY URBAN. THE RIVERVIEW HIGHLANDS GOLFCOURSE/SKI HILL IS A HALF MILE EAST OF THE SIGHT. WITH ONLY A FIELD CONTAINING THE WJR RADIO STATION BETWEEN MY PARENTS HOUSE AND THE SKI HILL.

Full Description & Details

ON AUGUST 15TH 1986, THREE FRIENDS AND MYSELF WERE STANDING IN MY PARENTS DRIVEWAY AT APPROX 10:40PM. THIER HOUSE SAT DIRECTLY NEXT TO A WINTER SKI RESORT DUBBED MOUNT TRASHMORE, AND BEHIND THEIR HOUSE IS A 200FT TALL RADIO TOWER FOR THE STATION WJR DETROIT. THE FOUR OF US THEN BEGAN TO HEAR A VERY LOUD BUZZING BASS TYPE NOISE, YOU COULD ACTUALLY FEEL THE VIBRATIONS OF THIS NOISE, AS IF YOU WERE STANDING IN FRONT OF A GIANT SPEAKER. WHEN ONE OF MY FRIENDS POINTED UP, WE WITNESSED SOMETHING I WILL NEVER FORGET. AN OBJECT/UFO LITERALLY THE SIZE OF A FOOTBALL STADIUM WAS HOVERING OVER THE TOWER, RIGHT ABOVE OUR HEADS. THE OBJECT HAD A SPIRALING DESIGN THAT MOVED AROUND SLOWLY AND WAS NEON GREEN IN COLOR. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES MY MOTHER RAN OUTSIDE AND TOLD US THAT SHE WANTED US TO SEE WHAT THEY WHERE ABOUT TO SHOW ON THE 11PM NEWS WXYZ., ABOUT UFO SIGHTINGS IN THE METRO DETROIT AREA, AND WE POINTED UP. AFTER A TOTAL OF MAYBEE SIX OR SEVEN MINUTES, THE OBJECT SLOWLY DRIFTED NORTH AND OUT OF OUR SIGHT. RUSHING INTO THE HOUSE WE INDEED SAW THIS SAME OBJECT ON THE NEWS. AND THE NEXT DAY AN ARTICLE IN THE DETROIT FREE PRESS HAD A PICTURE AND SAID THE OBJECT WAS REPORTED MOVING NORTH FROM EVERY STATE FROM TENNEESEE THRU MICHIGAN AND UP THRU CANADA. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAVE BEEN WAITING 20 YEARS TO FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS, AND WAITING TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE IT AGAIN.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

NO WAY.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

BEFORE I NEVER THOUGHT OF THEM. BUT SEEING IS BELIEVING.

Other Comments

AFTER TELLING THIS STORY TO SOME PEOPLE IN 2000, I WENT TO THE HENRY FORD COLLEGE LIBRARY IN DEARBORN MI, AND LOOKED UP THE DATE ON MICRO FILM. I FOUND THE ARTICLE PRINTED IN THE NEWS PAPER AND NOW HAVE A PICTURE TO SHOW. BUT HONESTLY I DO NOT TELL MANY PEOPLE.
