3 objects, amber in color, bell shaped, flew V or tri-angular formation, no sounds emitted, flew very lo and slow. I was driving a taxi-cab...enroute to pick up a passenger at a nearby hospital... When I turned onto Washtenaw Ave. I observed three objects off to the W-NW... They flew in a tri-angular or V formation...

I pulled off road and got out of my car to watch them as they passed.. This was observed on sunday, August 7, 1994, at approximately 1030 PM, which was a hot and humid sunday night (about low 80s)... I noted that as passed, and they nearly passed directly over me, they made no noise at all... They travelled at a very slow speed...from WNW to ESE...at about 50 kts or so and at a very low altitude (less than 100 ft)...but I had nothing to compare their size... I watched them for about 45 minutes...when i observed them start a shallow bank to the right...
