Details of Incident:

Pembine couple saw something they can't explain

Friday will be a night to remember for a Pembine couple, Dan and Cheryl Ross of Linquist Lake Road. Friday is when they sighted a UFO.

"We heard a high-pitched sound, like an electric industrial whine, before we observed the thing," Ross stated. "We looked out the bedroom window and saw the phosphorous glow of a pie pan shaped disk." The time was 10:30 p.m.

"There were two large lights that looked to be about 100 yards away," he continued, "They looked about six feet apart. But they weren't like any conventional lights - they were bright, but they didn't shine - they glowed."

"The lights were close to the ground," Ross recalled, "They could have skimmed over the power line."

The UFO floated over the swamp that lay between the two ridges flanking the Ross home, he noted, adding, "This thing was moving incredibly slowly, about five to ten mph. But when it came to the tree line, it made a smooth motion that took it out of sight. Not exactly straight up, but in more of a humped effect."

The strangest thing about the sighting, said Ross, was not the glowing yellow tinted lights. Nor was it the strange silence of his dogs and geese that normally set up a ruckus over any strange occurrence.

The strangest thing was the absolute silence of the frisbee-shaped craft, estimated to be slightly larger than an automobile. After hearing the initial whining noise, Ross said he opened the window to listen, but heard only the noise of distant traffic on Highway 8 as the UFO hovered soundlessly over the swamp.

After telling friends and neighbors of the sighting, Ross was informed of the UFO investigations conducted by Dr. Kenneth Schellhase, professor of history at Northern Michigan University, who is the U.P. coordinator for the Center for UFO Studies located in Evanston, Ill. After hearing Ross's report, Schellhase traveled to Pembine Tuesday to investigate.

Ross said Schellhase told him this sighting resembled other reports from the area, but was unusual in the fact that although a noise was heard initially, the UFO then became silent.

"I've watched some fantastic flight maneuvers done by the Blue Angels (the Air Force flying squad) but I've never seen a maneuver similar to what this thing did," stated the Pembine man.

When asked if any of his neighbors had seen unusual lights at night, Ross replied that a woman living on Hwy. 8 had reported seeing a light hovering at treetop level, but could not explain in detail what she saw. Another man living about six miles away also reported seeing lights from a craft hovering at a low level. He opened his car window to listen, but could not hear much over the noise of his car engine, and concluded the lights may have belonged to a helicopter.
