Summary

In August 1952, a witness in Detroit, Michigan, spotted a luminous object that remained motionless in the sky for 15 to 20 minutes before disappearing. The object, described as the size of a large star, intermittently changed color from white to red. The report includes details on the exact location, time of the sighting, and the inability to identify the object as a weather balloon or aircraft.
