The video I saw on channel 9 showed a definit disk. I can not believe it
could have been a planet. They zoomed back and forth from a light to
a disk. It did not appear to be out of focus.

1) "CYLINDRICAL MASS" UFO REPORTED BY MICHIGAN STATE POLICE
Reported by Hildebrand Communications, Inc.
for United Press International
December 22, 1994
Kingsley, Michigan, December 21, 1994 (UPI) - A Michigan State Trooper
responding to a woman's UFO report Wednesday confirmed seeing "a
cylindrical mass, with a large amount of individual lights."
     A 5-minute videotape shot by the woman and broadcast on local
television provided additional evidence that something was indeed out
there, police said.
     "This one is apparently a valid report," said one of the trooper's
superiors, State Police Sgt. Bill Sholten. "He is credible. I saw the tape
and there was definitely something out there," Sholten said.
     The trooper, who asked not to be identified because he doesn't want
publicity, reported seeing three military jets in the area while the UFO
was near. His report also noted that after the siting, a request for
information was turned down by the U. S. Air Force for unknown reasons.
     A Regional Air Traffic Control Center in Minnesota reported spotting
something on radar screens to support the report.
     A woman who lives on a farm near Kingsley said she saw the object
hovering above her barn at 6:30 am EST, December 21st. She called police
about an hour later and the trooper arrived at about 7:45 a.m. The trooper
watched the UFO through binoculars until it disappeared about 20 minutes
later. The woman, who got a closer look at the UFO, described the object
as about three times larger than her barn, or some 60 feet in diameter.
She also said it had white and blue lights and what appeared to be a haze
surrounding it.
     Sholten said the woman told police she saw a similar UFO on
Thanksgiving, but didn't tell anyone "because she was afraid everyone
would think she was nuts."
[Thanks to Sheldon Wernikoff for these additional details]
WJBK-TV, Detroit's Fox affiliate, reported the incident on the 7:00am news
broadcast of December 23, 1994. The following is based on WJBK's story.
     Eyewitnesses said they saw "pulsating, hovering lights in the sky" and a
"cylindrical mass with a large number of individual lights that appeared
to be connected by softer light running between them." The lights remained
visible for 90 minutes.
     The object was seen early in the morning of Dec. 21 by Tracy Shayda,
who said it was hovering over her house. She called her neighbor, who shot
a video of the object.
     Michigan state trooper Glenn Guldner watched the object for about
20 minutes. He stated, "I really don't know, for sure, what it was.  I've
been on several 'lights in the skies' complaints, usually ends up being an
airplane, Northern lights or something like that, but this is the first
time I've actually seen an object in the daylight."
     Of Shayda's report, the trooper went on to say, "She thought for sure
everyone would think she was nuts.  Prior to my getting there, the object
was a lot closer. It came to within treetop height of her house."
     In October, about fifteen miles northwest of the Kingsley area, two other
people saw an object in the sky which they reported to police. Their
description was similar to the object sighted in Kingsley.

2) MICHIGAN UFO MIGHT BE JUPITER -- OR MIGHT NOT BE
Based on a story from the Traverse City (Michigan) Record-Eagle of Dec 23,
1994. CNI News thanks Sheldon Wernikoff for this story.
The mysterious object seen in the sky on Wednesday morning, December 21
over Kingsley, Michigan (reported previously in CNI News) could have been
a planet, a Northwestern Michigan College astronomy instructor said
Thursday.
     "If I were forced to bet, I'd bet it was Jupiter," said Dick Cookman,
after viewing a videotape of the object. "But it would be a cautious bet."
     Kingsley resident Tracey Cejda reported seeing an object Wednesday
when she let her dogs out at 6:30 am.
     A neighbor, Michael Stelter, caught the image on video. State police
Trooper Glenn Guldner arrived at Cejda's house sometime after 7:30 am and
observed the image, assisted by binoculars, for 20 minutes.
     Cookman, after studying Stelter's video, said there are some aspects
to the case that support the Jupiter theory and some aspects that don't.
     On Wednesday morning at 6:30 am, Jupiter would have been three
degrees above the horizon in the southeastern sky. By 7:30 am, it would
have risen to 11-1/2 degrees above the  horizon.
     That could explain why the object appeared to be at treetop level
when Dejda first saw it and why it appeared higher in the sky by the time
Guldner arrived.
     Also, when planets appear low on the horizon they can appear to
change color, to twinkle, and to move, he said.  Those effects are caused
by light refraction, especially when there is a lot of humidity in the
air.
     In fact, for the last several decades, reports of UFO sightings rise
whenever a planet is low on the horizon, Cookman said.
     However, Cookman was surprised at how large the object appeared on
the videotape.  With an image that large, he would have expected to see
some detail that did not appear, such as the bands of the planet and the
four of its moons that are visible to the naked eye.
     "But that could just be because of a blurred image," Cookman said.
     Cedja and Guldner remained convinced Thursday that they had not
watched a planet.  When Cedja first saw the object, it appeared to be
three times as large as her barn.
     She said a range of emotions ran through her, including both fright
and excitement.
     Guldner also said Thursday he was sure it wasn't a planet he saw.
Stelter was out of town Thursday and could not be reached for comment.
     Guldner noted in his police report that three military-type jets flew
past the object and that the lights on the object went out as the jets
passed by.  He said Thursday afternoon he had not yet tried to identify
the jets.
     They were not military jets from anywhere in Michigan or from a base
in Toledo, Ohio, said Major Jerold Foehl, public affairs officer at Camp
Grayling. Foehl checked with those bases Thursday and learned they had no
jets in the air Wednesday morning.

Here are transcriptions from the Michigan State Police reports that I obtained
via the Freedom of Information Act.  There has been a recent rash of sightings
in Western and Northwestern Michigan in the past four months.  It seems as if
something major is transpiring.  I called the parties involved in the sightings
myself, and I spoke with the Michigan State trooper who also witnessed one
of the events.  I can honestly say that these people are very credible, and
very sure that what they saw was nothing they had ever seen before in their
lives.  I asked all of them if the sighting could have been planet Venus, or
maybe a helicoptor or airplane, and their reaction was definitely very clear -
that they witnessed some type of manufactured craft (either made by US
government or extraterrestrial beings) that could not possibly be mistaken
for a planet or natural phenomena.  But you can read the police reports
yourself and make your own decision.

undersigned met with comp. at the above location and was informed that the
object was still visible.  Officer went with comp. to her back porch and was
pointed out a bright light in the sky, time was approx. 7:45am, clear skies.
Upon looking at the light with binoculars, a cylindrical mass, possible
gray in color was observed.  On the underside of the object a large amount
of individual lights were seen that appeared to be connected by a softer light
running between them.  At this time the officer asked comp. if she had a video
camera.  It was learned that she had just purchased one, however did not know
how to work it, she advised that she called her neighbor, (name and address
witheld) and he had been video tapeing the event.
Undersigned watched the object for approx. 20 minutes before it appeared to get
further and further away.  Object could still be seen when officer left the
area.  During this time it was noted that the object did not just stay level
it could be observed rotating back and forth and at several times tipped
vertically and then back down.  Another smaller bright object could be seen
just to the east of the larger object, however no shape or color could be seen
just a bright light.
INTERVIEW COMP:
it was learned that at approx. 6:30am comp. opened the door to let her dogs out
when she first observed something in the sky, as she watched it it appeared to
fall straight down to a height of just over the tree tops near her storage
barn.  When asked about the size she advised that it was approx. 3 times the
size of her barn (approx 60 ft. in diameter).  She stated that she observed
the white and blue lights at this time and there appeared to be a haze around
it.  Comp. stated that she stuck her head outside and was surprised that she
heard no sound coming from the object.
At approx. 7:00am she called her neighbor listed above and requested that he
video tape the events.  Comp. stated that around Thanksgiving time she
observed another event from her home.  She stated that the object was further
away and higher up than this time, however, she could still make out the

was well up in the air when he first saw it and started taping.  (name witheld)
gave undersigned the tape to make copies of, the original to be returned to
him.
ADDITIONAL OBSERVATIONS:
It should be noted that at approx. 7:50am three military type aircraft flew
through the area, as each aircraft approached the object the lights went off
and then back on as the plane passed.

a check was made and learned that during peace time they do not have a man
watching the consol at all times.  It was learned that the three aircraft
described above were picked up on the radar, however, they were transponding
