The Detroit Times was a major American evening newspaper published in Detroit, Michigan, from October 1, 1900, to November 6, 1960. Founded by James Schermerhorn under the name 'Detroit Today,' it was purchased by William Randolph Hearst in late 1921 and became one of the fastest-growing newspapers in Detroit, rivaling The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press. The Times reached peak circulation of 438,757 daily copies in 1951 before declining in the 1950s due to industry-wide challenges. Hearst sold the newspaper to The Evening News Association (parent of The Detroit News) on November 6, 1960, ending nearly 40 years of Hearst ownership. No significant UAP/UFO coverage connections were identified in available historical records.
