Round UFO sighted over Detroit in 1958

Summary

A round, silvery object was spotted over Detroit, Michigan, in July 1958, by three brothers under 20 years old. The object, described as the size of a dime, had two lights on one side and was moving north at high altitude. The witnesses observed it for 15 to 25 minutes without any sound. Initially considered a possible balloon, the youths argued it didn't resemble the weather balloons they knew from their physics books.

The official investigation concluded it was likely a balloon, but the testimonies are consistent and detailed. The brothers, especially the youngest, showed military interest and basic physics knowledge, adding credibility to their account. Despite initial doubts, the case was not pursued further, and the report was filed without additional conclusions.
