Flying Saucers.
Dear Sirs.
On Friday evening Feb 16 about 7 Pm to 7.30 I noticed over the Detroit River and Windsor Ont. a disk shape Glowing white. with a white light trail above and below going out from it 180 d. it was on edge. as a silver dollar standing on a table. (with the moon as a dime alongside it.)
On Sat evening with my 7 x 50 I watched in same area a saucer unit that became three white saucers small and then as one again. making z shaped and other types of saucer capers. sometimes white with a blueish (with naked eye) but small white with 7 x 50. while over Wyandotte Mich way I saw a cigar shape about 20-30 mm long in my 7 x 50 unit. WITH DISTINCT RED AT TOP WHITE CENTER AND BLUE BOTTOM STAYED IN SAME SECTION.
LOOKING AT IT WITH NAKED EYE ONE WOULD SAY IT WAS A STAR BUT A LITTLE BRIGHTER.
While a shop time keeper with a cottage near Boblo Island on the canadian side at about 6 P. one night his wife stepped on porch and back in quickly a saucer was in lake erie low. this is two years in a row she has seen one there. I asked him to have his wife write it up and send in to the Navy, she did.
Today Feb 23 I saw a nice red bright light over Dearborn from home then as I drove to work at 4.10 am I saw it still but it was moving NOT AN AIRPLANE THOU.
I have 20 hrs. in cessana and piper cherokee.
