1
00:00:11,830 --> 00:00:10,230
all right so i'm with mark richard and

2
00:00:13,350 --> 00:00:11,840
he had a sighting outside of the

3
00:00:14,390 --> 00:00:13,360
building you're in right now you're

4
00:00:17,029 --> 00:00:14,400
working

5
00:00:19,109 --> 00:00:17,039
right now yes i'm actually i i live and

6
00:00:21,269 --> 00:00:19,119
work in the uh building i'm the head of

7
00:00:24,230 --> 00:00:21,279
maintenance for the apartment building

8
00:00:27,269 --> 00:00:24,240
so uh my sighting actually happened

9
00:00:28,870 --> 00:00:27,279
back in 2008 i don't have the exact date

10
00:00:32,630 --> 00:00:28,880
but i think it was somewhere late

11
00:00:34,870 --> 00:00:32,640
october early november of 2008

12
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:34,880
and can you explain exactly something

13
00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:36,880
caught your eye out the window

14
00:00:42,549 --> 00:00:39,760
yes uh i was working at the time i think

15
00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:42,559
it was maybe around 2 p.m or so and it

16
00:00:45,590 --> 00:00:44,399
was a bright sunny day not a cloud in

17
00:00:47,670 --> 00:00:45,600
the sky

18
00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:47,680
something kept reflecting light into my

19
00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:49,120
eye every time i would look up from my

20
00:00:53,110 --> 00:00:51,120
work this something out the window is

21
00:00:54,549 --> 00:00:53,120
reflecting this light into my eye after

22
00:00:56,069 --> 00:00:54,559
about the third or fourth time it was

23
00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:56,079
happening i'm getting a little annoyed

24
00:01:00,310 --> 00:00:58,640
and i walked over to the window uh this

25
00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:00,320
old historic building we have huge

26
00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:02,239
windows uh

27
00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:03,600
walked over to the window and i'm

28
00:01:06,710 --> 00:01:05,280
looking at this thing i can see it i'm

29
00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:06,720
in downtown detroit i've been here for

30
00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:08,960
several years so i'm used to seeing

31
00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:10,400
traffic copters i thought it was a

32
00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:11,680
traffic copter it looked like it was

33
00:01:16,469 --> 00:01:14,080
over the expressway out there maybe like

34
00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:16,479
a mile and a half two miles out it was

35
00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:19,600
out there a little ways um so i lay eyes

36
00:01:22,149 --> 00:01:21,280
on this thing and pretty much as soon as

37
00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:22,159
i do

38
00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:24,400
it starts moving towards kind of my

39
00:01:28,789 --> 00:01:26,720
general direction and i'm still thinking

40
00:01:31,190 --> 00:01:28,799
at the time this is a helicopter it's

41
00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:31,200
annoying uh

42
00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:32,960
with the clip that this thing moved

43
00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:34,960
towards me i'm starting to second guess

44
00:01:38,789 --> 00:01:36,720
now is this a helicopter or not because

45
00:01:42,149 --> 00:01:38,799
this thing was covering this mile and a

46
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:42,159
half two miles very quickly within

47
00:01:45,749 --> 00:01:44,640
seconds it was

48
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:45,759
it was

49
00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:49,119
outside of my building and slowly coming

50
00:01:52,789 --> 00:01:50,399
towards me

51
00:01:56,069 --> 00:01:52,799
uh to the point where this craft i've

52
00:01:58,630 --> 00:01:56,079
got i'm now in full view of a craft

53
00:02:01,270 --> 00:01:58,640
that is um hovering outside of my i'm on

54
00:02:02,630 --> 00:02:01,280
the 13th story of an 18 story building

55
00:02:06,069 --> 00:02:02,640
this thing's hovering outside of my

56
00:02:08,869 --> 00:02:06,079
window it starts to rotate up

57
00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:08,879
so that i it's now sort of 90 degrees to

58
00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:10,800
me where i'm looking directly at the

59
00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:13,680
bottom of this craft it's got three

60
00:02:18,229 --> 00:02:16,400
large white lights on the bottom and a

61
00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:18,239
smaller red light in the center that's

62
00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:19,920
kind of pulsing

63
00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:23,280
and this thing starts to rotate

64
00:02:28,229 --> 00:02:26,080
clockwise and the three white lights

65
00:02:30,070 --> 00:02:28,239
start flashing a pattern

66
00:02:31,509 --> 00:02:30,080
and it's rotating and the pattern's

67
00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:31,519
going a little bit faster and a little

68
00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:32,879
bit faster

69
00:02:39,190 --> 00:02:35,920
and then the outside edges of these

70
00:02:40,710 --> 00:02:39,200
white lights start to flash in colors so

71
00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:40,720
now i'm getting every color of the

72
00:02:44,550 --> 00:02:42,640
rainbow it reminded me of one of those

73
00:02:46,630 --> 00:02:44,560
simon games from back in the 80s where

74
00:02:47,509 --> 00:02:46,640
you try to hit oh yeah hit the colors it

75
00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:47,519
was

76
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:49,360
right something like that as it's

77
00:02:54,790 --> 00:02:52,560
rotating and it's speeding up

78
00:02:58,390 --> 00:02:54,800
to by the time this thing was at full

79
00:03:00,630 --> 00:02:58,400
bore it was just a blur of light

80
00:03:02,149 --> 00:03:00,640
like the most vivid bright

81
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:02,159
colorful light

82
00:03:06,630 --> 00:03:03,760
and um

83
00:03:08,550 --> 00:03:06,640
at that point i kind of felt like i was

84
00:03:11,750 --> 00:03:08,560
being sort of mesmerized or being kind

85
00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:11,760
of drawn in mentally by this thing and

86
00:03:15,990 --> 00:03:13,760
it made me pause and it made me sort of

87
00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:16,000
put almost a mental block right there

88
00:03:20,630 --> 00:03:18,400
where i said hold on what's what's going

89
00:03:21,509 --> 00:03:20,640
on here this is obviously very strange

90
00:03:22,710 --> 00:03:21,519
um

91
00:03:25,110 --> 00:03:22,720
i've never seen anything like this

92
00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:25,120
before and um

93
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:26,640
when i did that when i kind of put a

94
00:03:30,630 --> 00:03:28,480
mental stop to it and kind of put the

95
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:30,640
brakes on things mentally uh the

96
00:03:36,630 --> 00:03:33,040
flashing lights stopped the

97
00:03:38,869 --> 00:03:36,640
the craft slowly rotated back down to uh

98
00:03:42,070 --> 00:03:38,879
an upright position and it just kind of

99
00:03:43,509 --> 00:03:42,080
floated off to my right hand side and

100
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:43,519
kind of floated

101
00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:45,360
around the building to where i couldn't

102
00:03:48,789 --> 00:03:46,720
see it anymore

103
00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:48,799
i was expecting to see this thing shoot

104
00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:50,560
off into space or something it never did

105
00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:52,560
it just uh it just kind of floated off

106
00:03:56,949 --> 00:03:54,720
slowly i tried to keep my eye on it for

107
00:03:59,030 --> 00:03:56,959
as long as i could and once i lost sight

108
00:04:02,309 --> 00:03:59,040
of it i actually ran down

109
00:04:04,390 --> 00:04:02,319
to uh the street level to try to get

110
00:04:06,949 --> 00:04:04,400
outside and get my eyes back on it but i

111
00:04:07,830 --> 00:04:06,959
had lost it at that point it was gone

112
00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:07,840
wow

113
00:04:12,390 --> 00:04:09,920
well uh we're already up to four minutes

114
00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:12,400
oh gosh that's okay well that's all

115
00:04:15,750 --> 00:04:14,000
right uh we'll be running a little bit

116
00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:15,760
longer of a commercial that day we'll

117
00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:17,840
run it uh four minutes and 30 seconds

118
00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:20,160
bill always likes it over at kgra when i

119
00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:22,320
can run uh longer but we're out of time

120
00:04:36,370 --> 00:04:24,000
now mark thank you so much that's a
