| Description | In the summer of 1946 or 1947, while playing in vacant lots in Pontiac, Michigan, a group of 5-6 children witnessed three or more spherical objects descend from the sky. One of the objects came close, tilting in a manner suggesting to the witness that there were occupants inside observing them. All objects hovered silently for an unspecified duration, then moved upwards swiftly in unison and departed. The children, due to their young age, did not perceive the event as concerning and resumed playing, with the witness recalling the beauty of the objects. |
