1
00:00:13,264 --> 00:00:14,724
Central Dispatch.
2
00:00:14,724 --> 00:00:17,894
Yeah, this is, um,
the National Weather Service of Muskegon.
3
00:00:17,894 --> 00:00:19,187
I was calling to make sure
4
00:00:19,187 --> 00:00:21,898
that the person that called me
was not a hoax.
5
00:00:21,898 --> 00:00:23,691
He was one of our dispatchers.
6
00:00:24,734 --> 00:00:27,195
We've been chasing lights down...
all over down that way.
7
00:00:27,195 --> 00:00:29,530
-What do they look like?
- I don't know.
8
00:00:29,614 --> 00:00:30,948
We got a report of
9
00:00:31,032 --> 00:00:34,368
something going through the air
with lights on it horizontally.
10
00:00:35,787 --> 00:00:37,789
Three to four lights...
11
00:00:40,458 --> 00:00:44,128
going at a high rate of speed
up and down and all over the sky.
12
00:08:13,786 --> 00:08:15,204
911.
13
00:08:15,204 --> 00:08:16,747
Um, we were just wondering.
14
00:08:16,747 --> 00:08:20,876
Have you heard anything about these lights
that are flickering up here?
15
00:08:22,044 --> 00:08:23,295
It's like a group.
16
00:08:23,379 --> 00:08:27,508
It looks like a string of Christmas lights
that's way up in the sky.
17
00:08:27,508 --> 00:08:28,592
No, ma'am.
18
00:08:28,676 --> 00:08:30,594
And we wondered if you'd heard about it.
19
00:08:30,678 --> 00:08:31,637
Not a thing.
20
00:08:31,637 --> 00:08:33,722
You might wanna have someone take a look.
21
00:08:33,806 --> 00:08:36,684
It's different.
I've never seen anything like this.
22
00:08:37,268 --> 00:08:42,398
I don't know. It's strange,
but it's right out east, southeast.
23
00:08:42,398 --> 00:08:43,607
It's way up.
24
00:09:37,995 --> 00:09:40,039
It's just like a circle
25
00:09:40,039 --> 00:09:42,541
of a lot of different lights flickering.
26
00:12:05,476 --> 00:12:06,769
911.
27
00:12:06,769 --> 00:12:09,938
There's four or five lights,
and they're all flashing right in a row
28
00:12:10,022 --> 00:12:11,982
from the top
all the way down to the bottom.
29
00:12:11,982 --> 00:12:14,276
-Uh-huh.
-It took off real fast.
30
00:12:14,985 --> 00:12:17,863
There was four lights,
and they were blinking back and forth.
31
00:12:17,863 --> 00:12:20,866
And there's no way...
I mean, a plane is not that wide.
32
00:12:20,866 --> 00:12:23,660
And then it started...
And then it went down to three lights.
33
00:12:23,744 --> 00:12:27,706
And then it started to turn around.
Like, I mean, it was a circular motion.
34
00:12:27,790 --> 00:12:31,126
Then it started going up and down,
and then it went to two lights
35
00:12:31,210 --> 00:12:32,336
and did the same thing.
36
00:12:32,336 --> 00:12:34,671
And now it's one,
and it's spinning in a circle.
37
00:12:35,172 --> 00:12:36,840
They're just kinda hanging there.
38
00:12:36,924 --> 00:12:39,343
They came up as a group,
then they kind of split.
39
00:13:02,824 --> 00:13:04,368
Weather Service. Muskegon.
40
00:13:10,457 --> 00:13:13,377
Hi, Muskegon.
This is Ottawa County 911 calling.
41
00:13:13,377 --> 00:13:14,586
Yeah, how you doing?
42
00:13:14,670 --> 00:13:17,548
Good. You guys have
access to a radar there, don't ya?
43
00:13:17,548 --> 00:13:19,007
-Yes, we do.
- You do.
44
00:13:19,091 --> 00:13:22,636
You getting anything weird down
in the Southern Ottawa County area?
45
00:13:22,636 --> 00:13:25,681
The reason I ask is
we're getting a whole bunch of calls
46
00:13:25,681 --> 00:13:27,558
of some strange lights
47
00:13:27,558 --> 00:13:30,561
in the Southern Ottawa,
Northern Allegan County
48
00:13:30,561 --> 00:13:32,521
right near Holland City area.
49
00:13:32,521 --> 00:13:34,064
-Strange lights?
- Yeah.
50
00:13:34,064 --> 00:13:36,191
We've had about 60 UFO calls.
51
00:13:36,275 --> 00:13:37,526
Oh, jeez! Okay.
52
00:13:37,526 --> 00:13:39,987
I'm sitting here going, "No, come on."
53
00:13:39,987 --> 00:13:41,989
"There's gotta be something more to this."
54
00:13:41,989 --> 00:13:43,073
Yeah.
55
00:14:28,035 --> 00:14:30,412
I'm looking at it in the vertical now,
56
00:14:30,412 --> 00:14:32,748
and there's a large return down there.
57
00:14:33,498 --> 00:14:35,250
It's up about maybe...
58
00:14:35,334 --> 00:14:38,545
Oh, now it disappeared,
but it was up about 6,000 feet.
59
00:14:38,629 --> 00:14:42,424
It could have been a plane,
but it was pretty big. Wait a minute.
60
00:15:12,913 --> 00:15:14,498
Oh, it moved. Let's see.
61
00:15:14,498 --> 00:15:17,918
There's something big down there.
Wait a minute. That's really strange.
62
00:15:19,086 --> 00:15:20,921
Yeah, right down near South Haven.
63
00:15:20,921 --> 00:15:25,258
Okay, it's moving
towards the west-southwest,
64
00:15:26,259 --> 00:15:28,178
and it looks like a big blob.
65
00:15:28,804 --> 00:15:31,181
Yeah, that's the way
it was explained to us.
66
00:15:31,682 --> 00:15:32,849
Hmm. This is weird.
67
00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:35,394
Looks like it's steady right now.
68
00:16:00,836 --> 00:16:02,254
It's gone up.
69
00:16:02,254 --> 00:16:06,466
I'm getting it now at, um,
at about 12,000 feet.
70
00:16:07,134 --> 00:16:08,260
Huh!
71
00:16:13,432 --> 00:16:15,267
Oh, my God! What is this?
72
00:16:15,267 --> 00:16:17,644
They were going together and coming apart.
73
00:16:17,728 --> 00:16:20,397
Yeah, they're... Well, it's... There's three.
74
00:16:20,397 --> 00:16:25,110
They're separated by about...
Looks like about 5,000 feet in height.
75
00:16:25,110 --> 00:16:26,027
Hmm.
76
00:16:26,111 --> 00:16:27,988
They're very strong returns.
77
00:16:27,988 --> 00:16:30,949
I mean, they're spiking,
so there's something pretty solid.
78
00:16:31,033 --> 00:16:34,828
It's not precipitation or anything,
especially up at that height.
79
00:17:00,645 --> 00:17:03,356
An officer in Holland City
just sent me a message.
80
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,692
He says,
"Can you identify anything further?"
81
00:17:05,776 --> 00:17:07,694
He says,
"Looks like three to four of 'em."
82
00:17:07,778 --> 00:17:11,448
I'm seeing three,
but they look like a triangle on my scope.
83
00:17:11,448 --> 00:17:14,326
This is strange, yeah,
'cause the officer says it's, uh,
84
00:17:14,326 --> 00:17:17,579
"Green and red lights."
It does not look like an airplane.
85
00:17:17,579 --> 00:17:19,623
They come together,
and then they separate.
86
00:17:19,623 --> 00:17:22,083
And they just
keep doing this all the time.
87
00:17:22,167 --> 00:17:25,462
These are huge returns.
I've never seen anything like this.
88
00:17:25,462 --> 00:17:29,299
Not even when I'm doing storms.
These aren't storms. They're like...
89
00:17:29,299 --> 00:17:31,551
They're just poppin' up
all over the place.
90
00:18:06,128 --> 00:18:10,882
These are all up around
between 7,000 and 12,000 feet.
91
00:18:11,466 --> 00:18:13,093
Wow, this is strange.
92
00:18:14,219 --> 00:18:18,348
Okay, they look like they're all
moving toward the south, towards Chicago.
93
00:18:18,348 --> 00:18:22,727
They're about
over the center of Lake Michigan.
94
00:18:22,811 --> 00:18:26,606
Three of them in a triangle
just off the coast of Berrien County.
95
00:20:30,063 --> 00:20:33,108
All right, well, if we
get any more, we'll let you know also.
96
00:20:33,108 --> 00:20:34,985
Please do. Thanks a lot, then.
97
00:20:34,985 --> 00:20:37,570
- Okay. Thank you. Bye.
- Uh-huh. Bye-bye.
98
00:22:40,735 --> 00:22:41,694
911.
99
00:22:41,778 --> 00:22:43,238
This is a non-emergency,
100
00:22:43,238 --> 00:22:45,740
so feel free to cut me off
if something comes in.
101
00:22:45,824 --> 00:22:49,285
And I feel kind of silly calling,
but is there any Air Force airplanes
102
00:22:49,369 --> 00:22:53,373
or helicopters flying around
in Allegan or Ottawa County tonight?
103
00:22:54,666 --> 00:22:58,044
I don't know if you guys
do anything on UFOs at all.
104
00:22:59,337 --> 00:23:02,423
It's not a real emergency.
We're calling about them UFOs we saw.
105
00:23:02,507 --> 00:23:04,467
- Mmm-hmm.
-They're out there.
106
00:23:04,551 --> 00:23:05,802
They ain't airplanes.
107
00:31:53,079 --> 00:31:56,457
Whoa! Got it! Whoo-hoo!
108
00:32:30,241 --> 00:32:31,492
My gosh!
109
00:32:31,492 --> 00:32:35,204
They're all going against the wind.
The wind's 120 knots to the west.
