Details of Incident:
WEIRD FLASHES LIGHT UP THE SKY OVER IRONWOOD, MICHIGAN
On Thursday, January 15, 1998, at 6:50 p.m.,
Brian M. was walking home from work in Ironwood, Michigan (population
6,700). "Upon reaching my driveway, I stopped and checked the mailbox. When
I looked up again, it seemed that a number of stars had decided to start
blinking on and off."
"The blinking appeared random, un sequenced, and
each time the objects lit, they moved to a new location and seemed to
wander erratically," Brian reported. "Because of the on-off sequence, and
large trees near the horizon, I am unable to give an exact count, but I
would estimate that there had to have been six UFOs scattered across the
southern sky, below 45 degrees and as bright as any other celestial objects
in the sky."
He estimated that the UFOs were "tens of miles" to the
south, past neighboring Hurley, Wisconsin and the Gile Flowage (lake).
"I walked down the drive to the south side of my house, where it was
darkest. The objects continued their flashing and motion. Each time one
'lit,' it was in a slightly new position. At last one worked its way
towards the southwest. The rest grouped together within 15 degrees (of arc)
and headed into the horizon" near where "Orion was rising in the
southeast."
Brian said the flashing "lasted ten minutes," and the UFOs
"were as bright as Sirius--magnitude one... as bright as a flashbulb
popping. I am an expert sky watcher and this incident was unlike anything I
have ever witnessed."
Ironwood is Michigan's westernmost city, located
in the Upper Peninsula (U.P.) on U.S. Route 2, approximately 605 miles (968
kilometers) northwest of Detroit. (Email Interview)
