reported Tuesday they watched
a glowing a glowing object zip past a
college dormitory and hover in
a swamp for a swamp for hours. hours.
Their description of the eerie
object seen object seen here Monday night
tallied closely with that of one
seen by more than 50 persons, seen bv more than 50 persons,
including 12 policemen, near
Ann Arbor, Mich., the previous
night.
The Air Force dispatched its
top scientific adviser r on uniden-
tified flying objects (UFO) to
launch an investigation.
The witnesses said they
watched from the second floor
of a Hillsdale College girls
dormitory as the object wob-
bled, wavered, glowed eerily

dormitory window before stop-

Coeds Took Notes
Mirs. Kelly Hearn, for seven
years a newspaper reporter

of English and housemother of
the dorm, had the coeds take
notes as they watched the
ubject for four hours.
They and Willam Van Horn,
41, Hillsdale County civil

object dimmed its lights when
police cars approached, bright-
ened again when they went
away, and dodged an air port

"It would seem me," Hynek said, "that the association of

coincidence. No group of witnesses observed any craft coming

The combination of peculiarly mild winter weather in the

Michigan's flying saucers were
etfect shot down Friday by a special Air ce investigator
who said they probably were swamp gasse unidentified
'Shools Down' flying objects-UFOs.
But some of those who said they saw the objects remained
unconvinced.
Dr. J. Allen Hynek diseussed
his findings at an overtlow news
Saucors conference after spending al-
most a week interviewing per-
sons in the nearby Ann Arbor
and Ilillsdale areas where most
of the sightings originated.

Hynck is a Northwestern Uni-
versity astrophysicist and scien-
tific consultant for the Air
Force. .
Numerous UFO sightings
have been reported in recent
weeks, many of them by law-
men.
Hynek emphasized his inves-
tigation was confined to two
specific days s of sightings and
did not cover all of those report-
ed.

Hynek said his study was con-
fined to March 20 sightings
made near Dexter, a small
community about 50 miles
southwest of Detroit, and one
made at Hilsdale. about Ioo
J miles west, on March 21.
Although there have been
numerous other reports of UFOs
in the state, Hynck said he
would not i investigate them be-
cause not enough persons had
seen them. He said he inves-
tigated only those sightings seen
by a large group of witnesses.
"If only one person reports
seeing soinething. it might be
discounted." Hynck said. "But
if 10 or 20 report seeing similar
objects then it is grounds for
scientific investigation."

Michigan, and have nothing to do with the cases in The
photograph clearly shows trails made as a result of of
the rising crescent moon the planet Venus.
The majority of observers in both the Dexter and Hillsdale
cases have reported only silent glowing lights near the ground - red,
yellow, and blue-green. They have not described an object. The only
two observers who did describe an object have stated that they were
no closer than 500 yards - better than a quarter of a mile away
distance which does not allow w details to be determined.
Witnesses have described
move but never far from a definite place or lights which suddenly
disappeared and popped up at another place. The locale in both cases
describes lights that have been seen in swamps by the astronomer Bessel
and other excellent observers. The lights resemble tiny flames some-
times seen right on the ground and sometimes rising and floating above
it. The flames go out in one place and suddenly appear in another,
giving the illusion of motion. The colors are sometimes yellow, some-
times red, and sometimes blue-green. No heat is felt, and the lights
do not burn or char the ground. can appear fo hours at a stretch
and sometimes for a whole night. Generally, there is no smell and no
sound except for popping ittle explosions such as when a
gas burner ignites.

The change from duil red to bright blue-green to white

Finally Ronnie could contain himself no longer.
"Iaok at that horrible thing!" he asclaimed.
And with that. sald Mannor, the lights snapped off.
Ronnie, a high school track star, bounded across the
creek and up a knoll with his father not far bchind.
BY THE TIME they reached the knoil, Mannor said. the
craft had moved perhaps 500 yards eastward up the valley
and once again it was gloaving red.
Mannor said he and his son watched it for a while, but Mamnor said he and his son wale mit a while, but
decided against chasing it farther.
A few minutes later, Mannor said. the lights went out A few mimutes laier, Mannor said. the lights went out

Sometimes they just drive past, shine a spotlight on the
bedroom windows and scream: "Martians!"

ally occuring phosphorus compound."
It has been pointed out to the investigating personnel by other
scientists in this area that in swamps the formation of H2S and CH4
from rotting vegetation is common. These could be ignited by the
spontaneous burning of PH3.
The association of the sightings with swamps in this particular
instance is more than coincidence. No group of witnesses observed any
craft ccming to or going away from the swamp. The glow was localized,
and Deputy Fitzpatrick described the glow from beyond a rise adjacent
to the swamp as visible through the trees. He stated that the light
bri.ghtened othly and slouly
quantities of marsh gas.
The disappearance of the lights when people got close with flash-
lights or car lights would indicate that the glow seemed bright to dark-
adapted eyes. The night was dark and there was no moon. The Hillsdale
girls kept ooms dark in order to see the swamp lights.
It appears very likely that the combination of the conditions of
this particular winter (an unusually mild one in that areaand the
particular weather conditions of that night - it was clear and there was
little wind at either location - were such as to have produce this un-
usual and puzzling display.

NUMEroUs UFO sightings have been reported in Mich-
igan, especially the southern lower portion. in recent weeks,
many of them by law officers. Hynek said he did not investi-
gate these because large enough groups had not witnessed
them.
He said both the sightings he did investigate were in
swampy areas-"most unlikely place for a visit from outer
space"-and said the UFOs probably resulted from spring
thaws releasing trapped gases resulting from decomposing
organic materials.
He added that in the Hillsdale case the sighting might
have been assisted by youths playing "pranks with flares."
The remains of several flares were found near the college
shortly after the sightings.
"THERE WERE no flares involved in this," said William
Van Horn, Hillsdaie county civil defense director. He and the
Hillsdale college cocds reported watching a white and red
object-about 20 feet across-from dormitory windows for
nearly three hours.
I think I will disprove him (Iynck) in a few weeks."
Van Horn said. "I also didn't care for the methods of inves-
tigation. I know no flares were involved."
Frank Mannor and his son, Ronnie, 19, are sure what
they saw was not swamp gas.
