Anyone who knows me will tell you that if I'm going to spend 90 mins. in front of a screen it's going to be a documentary about something, anything as long as it's based squarely in fact.

Although that would be a pretty lame argument, that someone who's got a healthy imagination would not be able to draw the line between fantasy and reality, I'd find that weak.

Never "blacked out" or taken LSD or any other drugs, maybe a little pot back in my younger years, but I usually won't even take an aspirin when I have a headache.

Pan-dimensional operators? Could be, I don't rule anything out, although I think the explanation for why no one else saw it or reported seeing it goes something like this...

Most people are so wrapped up in their day to day nine to five lives, they don't spend much time looking up into the sky. Especially in a city with a bunch of tall buildings, usually the only people you'll see looking up are tourist's, and there's not a whole lot of tourism going on in Detroit.

Secondly most people are concerned of what their peers and perfect strangers think of them, I've never been afflicted by this concern myself, but I think alot of people would choose to just keep their mouth shut rather than endure the ridicule of others.

Holy trinity? I kinda doubt it was Jesus flying that spaceship, although there's a good idea for a song or a band name somewhere in there.

I'm sure some people will point to that last statement and say that I am predisposed to seeing UFO's or ghost's because of my interest in the subject.

I would say first that I also find Bigfoot stories interesting but don't see one every time I go camping, and secondly that I don't expect people to believe me, don't care if anyone believes me, and that this story is for those of us who already know the truth. I'd be happy to answer questions, and appreciate the skeptical point of view, but I know what I saw.

It was about 3pm on a sunny day in downtown Detroit, I don't remember the exact date, but it was November, 2008, a couple weeks before thanksgiving. Not a cloud in the sky that day, and I noticed something out my window, reflecting sunlight into my eye's repeatedly.

The first couple of times the reflection caught my eye I just ignored it, concentrating on my work. Planes and helo's are always in the sky around my area so I thought nothing of it. By about the fourth or fifth time this light distracted me I was getting annoyed, and wishing this thing would move on already. So I walked to the window to see what the heck is going on out there.

Helo, I thought to myself.. definitely traffic copter as it's hovering in the sky across town, (probably a mile away). As I tried to make out what it was, it started coming towards me at a pretty fast clip, and looking less and less like a helicopter.

Looking back on the whole thing I realize now that as soon as I was aware of the craft, it was aware of me. And I think this happens alot, a UFO will be minding it's own business when someone point's it out in the sky, and all of a sudden it's headed straight for them, alot of times abducting them.

I can see that it's a polished metal finish, very reflective, and seems to be shaped like three round saucers fused together in the center, kind of hard to explain, I'll include some drawings. It wasn't huge, I'd say around 25 ft. in diameter.

By this time I know what I'm looking at... a UFO...It got to about 25 yards away, stopped, and turned up on it's side, so the bottom of the craft was facing me. Then the light show began...

The whole bottom of the craft started flashing light sequences at me, there was a single red light in the center of the underside, and then each of the three "discs" that made up the shape of the craft had a large white circular light that took up most of the center of each "disc".

Then around the edge of each of the circular white light's where three or four segmented bars of light. The best way I can describe it is like that game "Simon" the sequence started slow and sped up as it went.

At the same time as the sequence began the craft started rotating, clockwise I believe. The light show must have lasted just under a minute I'd say, then just as quickly as it started, it stopped, rotated back to an upright position and floated around the East side of my building until I lost sight of it.

I feel like the light show was a way for the craft to evaluate me, for what? I don't know, abduction would be my first guess, but I didn't lose any time, never lost consciousness, so I'm guessing I wasn't a good candidate for whatever they had in mind because I haven't been visited since.

Here are my not so good attempts at drawing the craft, first from the top down, then from the bottom with the light array.
