Michigan "swamp gas" UFO reports

1966 US UFO sightings
show full text
The Michigan "swamp gas" UFO reports were two mass sightings of unidentified flying objects during the nights of March 20 and 21, 1966, in Michigan, United States. The first occurred around marshland near Dexter, while the second mass-sighting took place near the campus arboretum of Hillsdale College, about 50 miles away. The sightings took place amid a wave of UFO reports throughout southern Michigan. After the reports were attributed to swamp gas by Air Force civilian investigator J. Allen Hynek, the explanation was widely derided. US congressman Gerald Ford called for a formal Congressional investigation into the sightings.
