The Show Unsolved Mysteries has made the move to Netflix with new episodes. The most recent one highlighted a UFO sighting in Michigan over 20 years ago!

There have been a ton of UFO sightings in the state of Michigan but this episode focuses solely on the events that took place on March 8th of 1994.

On March 8th of 1994, the local police got over 300 calls about a mysterious object flying along the shores of lake Michigan.

To this day, the sighting on March 8th is still on of the largest sightings in American History.

Both police and the National Weather Service were involved.

“And they observed several objects, or very large objects flying around on their radar,” Bill Konkolesky, Michigan director of the Mutual UFO Network, told the Free Press last year. “And their radar isn’t meant to pick up aircraft, it’s meant to pick up weather patterns. So when they’re seeing these thumbnail-sized things on their radar, they know that they’re massive.”

Here was a conversation that took place between the National Weather Service and the Holland police department.

“There were three and sometimes four blips, and they weren’t planes,” the NWS radar operator said. “Planes show as pinpoints on the scope, these were the size of half a thumbnail. They were from 5 to 12,000 feet at times, moving all over the place. Three were moving toward Chicago. I never saw anything like it before, not even when I’m doing severe weather.”

To this day it remains as the largest sighting in Michigan history, and one of the largest in the country.

Here is a clip from the episode:

MY THOUGHTS:

As a UFO guy, I really hope in my lifetime we get some answers! I think we are getting closer, especially the last few years with all of the information coming out.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
