Full Description & Details

Duane Nelson, Jeanine Nelson and myself were at a friends house playing cards. When we left to go home we took a two-lane road that was a short cut to get to our place in Rapid River. (Located in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan about 50 miles south of K.I. Sawyer Airforce base.) Jeanine was the first to see the "star" moving radically in the sky. I leaned forward to take a look and was awed and skeptical. The way it was moving one just knew that it could not have been an aircraft. Duane pulled the car over wanting to be "the first to shake thier hand". Keep in mind that this is still just a dot in the sky. When he pulled over he started to flash the headlights. Next thing you know, the star quit its erratic behavior and zoomed to a point directly above the car (still a dot in the sky). I started to get fightened at this point and begged to go home; which we did. I kept looking at my watch, because I had heard that people who were abducted lost time. At some point I quit looking at my watch, because I can't tell you when we arrived at the intersection, where the sherif's car was, or when we got home. When we got to the intersection I remember looking up and seeing this large disc-like object hoovering about 50 feet or so above the car. I remember pointing to the object, then to the Sherif, then back to the object and the Sherif nodding his head up and down very slowly with an awed look on his face. It all seems so surreal looking back because even now with the UFO so close, Duane did not get out of the car to be the first to shake their hand. When we drove away, we didn't talk about it, and when we got home, we just went to bed. The next day when we told our friends about it, of course they all thought we were on drugs or something until the report on the radio. It said that the Sherif's department chased an unidentified fliying object past Stonington until they lost sight of it. I was told years later that the Sherif (John LeMire) did a story for a UFO magazine.

Other Comments

The craft was circular with what appeared to be an opening in the bottom in the shape of a diamond with a line through the center. Perhaps a door. It had multi-colored lights that rotated and flashed around its circumference. It also had a spherical rise in its top-most center that could be described as a viewing area. It was your typical UFO that it seems everyone has seen.
