Here’s a wide-ranging sampling of historical UFO events and those who’ve come under the UFO spell. The Holland/Grand Haven, Michigan sightings of March 8, 1994, featured radar tracking of objects moving off from the state’s southwest lower peninsula over Lake Michigan toward Chicago, Illinois, supported by numerous visual ground observations, including police and weather personnel. Will Haenni has a good article on this continuing mystery, weakened by the portion where current-day meteorologists seem to posit windmills as possible sources for the radar returns. In 1952, ‘Flying Saucers’ Over Washington Sent the Press Into a Frenzy is History’s summary of one of the most iconic UFO cases. The story leaves out much, and has some bobbles, but is complemented by a number of news clippings from the time. Nick Redfern tells the bizarre tale of one of the most interesting characters infected with the UFO bug in The UFO Phenomenon: When People Get Sick and Tired. And in Albert Bender’s case, that’s exactly what happened until he walked away from the field. On the other hand, Stephen Erdmann has been active in UFOs–and conspiracy theories–since the 1960s. Stephen Erdmann takes Paracasters Gene Steinberg and J. Randall Murphy time-traveling through his long career. The affable Erdmann seems willing to entertain most any theory out there for UFOs, though he thinks the ETH is insufficient at best, and has no time for hard-boiled skeptics. (WM)
