Location: Harrison Township, MI, USA

Shape: Disk

Was traveling with my wife West on I-94 when we both spotted a bright, very slow moving object in the south sky over the Detroit area at around 12:30pm. It appeared to be at an altitude of 12,000-15,000 feet at a distance of 10-15 miles. It was a slow moving object that traveled towards the west at a very slow pace, every so often glistening in the sun very brightly otherwise was a metallic object that appeared to be a disc shape. After about 30 seconds the object stopped and then instantly reversed direction traveling back the where we first spotted it and the suddenly disappearing.

We are in the vacinity of both Detroit Metro Airport and Selfridge Air National Guard and I can assure you it was not a jet powered aircraft either civilian or military. After 20 years of airshows and constantly watching every plane flying overhead, and watching too much of Discovery Wings on the tv I have immense understanding of what type of craft are in our skies, and this wasn't one of them.
