-
- NEWSMAN: Well, something's going on in the night skys up there from
- Muskegon to the western states. UFO sightings are being reported with
- regularity in recent weeks. As Night Beats Mike Wendlind [sic] reports in
- this special Michigan Unsolved Mystery edition, there's a part of our state
- where the reports are routine.
-
- MW: Mysterious lights in the sky, like these taken by UFO spotters in
- Nevada, are being reported all across the country this spring.
-
- But there's also been a rash of UFO sightings in Michigan. Over the past
- year more than 40 have come from the states thumb area. Most of them
- centered here in the wide open farm land of Tuscola County.
-
- In the Tuscola County seed of Caro, Undersheriff Jim Fyfie says the first
- call goes back to the spring of 1992.
-
- JF: It was near Plain road and Kingston road area of our County. It was
- about 2:20 in the morning, and she stated that her and her husband awoke.
- Their house actually shook...and heard a loud noise..and they seen a orange
- colour in the sky, and the light sped off to the northwest. And right
- shortly there after within minutes, Columbia township area had another
- caller call in..and stated that they were awoke by their house being shook
- with a loud noise..and seen similar colour of lights, and it took off to
- the northwest.
-
- MW: The reports have been coming in ever since. Most at night or in the
- early morning hours, from all different parts of the county. In February
- two residents of this house saw a large frisbee shaped object with
- zigzagging colourful lights hover over their house, and then speed off to
- the east.
-
- In March, a woman returning home about 9 o'clock at night reported a
- triangular shaped object following her car as she travelled north down this
- road, and then east down this one.
-
- And then just last month over this orchid just west of the village of
- Kingston, a local carpenter and his wife were startled by another UFO.
-
- CARPENTER: ...It was just dark. Then..my wife and I was coming from the
- west, and I says just come past these orchids. And I said, "Look off to the
- left!" And there's a whole series of lights in the sky. Well maybe four or
- five. And they were an orange colour..you know like these orange yard
- lights. And I looked back on the road and she said they're gone..and I
- looked and sure 'n heck they was gone.
-
- MW: All these reports have caught the attention of MUFON, the Mutual UFO
- Network. Their investigator for Tuscola County is Robert Snow. He's
- interviewed many of the witnesses, and has made a computer rendering of the
- March 17th sighting of a local woman.
-
- RS: ...What she saw was lights on the..or windows..she said it was windows.
- These big windows, and the whole thing was sitting in the sky. These
- windows would move across and then they'll go out of sight. So the effect
- she was getting was this...slowly revolving in the sky.
-
- MW: The Undersheriff, meanwhile, is baffled. He's checked with the
- Airforce, local airports and the FAA, and has found no explanation for the
- sightings.
-
- JF (Sheriff): So we just chalk them up as an Unidentified Flying Object.
-
- MW: In Tuscola County, Mike Wendlind [sic], Night Beat.
-
- NEWSMAN: If you believe you've seen a UFO, MUFON the Mutual UFO Network
- wants to hear from you. You can contact them at 313-659-3340.
