Before we get to the UFO incident, I have hubby job news. As of this writing, the company hubby has been interviewing with is interested in him and hopefully by the middle of this month, they will hire him. So, not quite hired yet, but we are getting closer. Keep sending out those good vibes. It’s working!

There have been many UFO sightings in Michigan, one of the more famous incidents happened a mere 30 years ago in 1994 over Lake Michigan. Read on and and decide if this incident proves there is something hidden in the skies above.
On a cold March 8th, hundreds of people witnessed strange lights over the Lake Michigan shoreline. People from Ludington all the way to the Indiana border called 911 to report the mysterious happenings. They claimed to see four lights in the sky but heard no tell-tale signs to indicate it being a helicopter or other aircraft.
The National Weather Service in Muskegon picked up anomalies on the radar. Jack Bushong was on a duty and spent his shift tracking the objects. At one point, he saw multiple objects on the radar, estimating there was twenty miles between them at one point. They would also hover then shoot thousands of feet into the air. He tracked them into the night and morning. Later, he would contact the control tower at Muskegon County Airport and inquired about strange readings or reports. They replied three aircraft lined up in formation were visible, but the crafts didn’t have transponder codes.
At News Channel 3, the phones began ringing off the hook with reports. Missy Broderick, a logistic manager, was working the assignment desk that night. She said they had over 50 calls, an unusually high number. She phoned the control tower at Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport and asked if their radar showed anything. Air traffic control confirmed a couple abnormal returns on radar, but they didn’t know what they were and didn’t comment further.
OVER 300 HUNDRED CALLS
The police received over 300 calls about the incident. Some officers even witnessed it themselves with one telling dispatch that they could see the object rising fast—a report that coincides with what Jack Bushong was seeing on the radar.
One family that witnesses the event were the Graves, Daryl, Holly, and their son, Joey. They saw the six red and white lights around 9:30pm over the barn across the road. Another witness, Cindy Pravda, watched four lights that looked large like the moon before they vanished before her eyes. Many more witnesses described similar to Pravda and the Graves’ sightings. The sightings came to an end shortly after 6am in the morning.
You can listen to the 911 calls on Youtube.
Like many UFO incidents, we don’t know what people saw that night, but with so many witnesses, I feel it’s impossible to say it’s fake. I also feel like I only covered the tip of this iceberg! Something was up there. Whether it was aliens or the government testing some secret new aircraft, I can’t say. Maybe more declassified documents from the US government will reveal the truth.
WHAT DO YOU THINK WERE PEOPLE SEEING?
If you are a Michigander, do you remember the 1994 incident? I was in my teens and don’t recall anything, but I can’t say I’m surprised at myself given my age. I had more important things to worry about. Like boys. 😜
My next email will drop on the 28th. Keep your eyes peeled because I will be sharing some new inspiration!

Sounds similar to the Tic Tacs that have been reported off the coast of California.
That's a lot of people! Lake Michigan sure is mysterious.
