What started out as a father-son business trip through Michigan’s remote Keweenaw Peninsula turned into a frightening encounter with strange lights and eventually missing time on August 18, 2010, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The man and his 16-year-old son were in the northern-most portion of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula – a sparsely populated area – and 20 miles off of Highway 41 at 8:07 p.m. when they saw the first orange light in the sky.
As the object moved in a slow and irregular pattern, the two became nervous, but they finally reached Highway 41 and drove south.
The orange light returned.
“It was very large now, and the color was very intense,” the father reported. “Both the light and Jupiter were visible. The light began to move close to the horizon, and seemed to be following the terrain.”
Again, they became nervous over what they were seeing.
When they arrived in Bruce Crossing, they pulled over at a small truck stop as a bathroom break, and asked if anyone had seen anything unusual. One trucker had seen something.
The man told them he had seen “a large orange ball to the east.”
They then turned westbound on Highway 28, and a few minutes into the ride, the son looked behind them.

“Several recent UFO reports from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database have described what appears to be the same object – a cluster of three spheres that seem to be attached. Reports were filed on these objects near Dallas, TX, April 22, Crockett, TX, April 23, Kansas City, KS, June 16, and from Illinois on June 20.
A Michigan report for June 28 may be related as the witness, driving along the Southfield freeway, states that “I looked up and saw that it was a cluster of lights.” The object was described as silent and hovering.”
I have to say that whenever I hear the reports of triangular UFO’s, I think more of them in terms of the REAL meaning of the acronym: Unidentified Flying Object, instead of alien craft. My personal feeling is that many of these craft are either misidentified aircraft or at least experimental classified craft. Check out the article I posted earlier about secret aircraft.

The Examiner: Michigan ‘cluster of lights’ may be another sphere-triangle UFO
One of the strangest and yet under-reported things was discovered in 2007.
Mark Holley, a professor of underwater archaeology at Northwestern Michigan College, discovered a series of stones – some of them arranged in a circle and one of which seemed to show carvings of a mastodon – 40-feet beneath the surface waters of Lake Michigan.
By all accounts this would make them at least 10 000 years old which is about the time when the first humans moved over the land bridge into North America.

The discovery was made by accident when a team went out to chart old boatwrecks using sonar. Some of the results jumped out at the researchers – why should stones be arranged in a circle? And why should one have carvings on that looks like a mastadon?

Bray Road is a quiet country road near the community of Elkhirm, Wisconsin. Nothing much ever happened there, that is until the late 1980′s and early 1990′s. Reports of strange encounters with a unknown beast began to emerge.
The story received media attention when Linda Godfrey, a writer and cartoonist for a weekly newspaper called The Week, started collecting eyewitness testimonies and writing about them. Articles also appeared in Strange magazine. Sightings have been reported in a much wider geographical area, even as far away as Milwaukee.
Godfrey has written a book on the sightings, The Beast of Bray Road: Tailing Wisconsin’s Werewolf, published by Prairie Oak Press in 2003.
However the story of the beast goes back much further. One of the earliest recorded encounters happened in 1936. Mark Schackelman was a night watchman at a Catholic convent, St. Colleta, near Jefferson, Wisconsin.
One night, about midnight, while doing his rounds, he noticed something standing on top of a Native American burial mound.Looking closer he saw that the creature was clawing at the burial mound, as if it wanted to get in. He shouted out and started to move towards it. The creature looked at him startled and turned and fled into the darkness.
The following night at about the same time, Mark was againnear the mound. Once more he saw the creature clawing at the gravesite. This time he crept closer, making sure to keep quiet. Suddenly the creature stopped what it was doing and looked around. Seeing Mark, it stood up and faced him.
