In 1966, a string of seemingly odd occurrences in Washtenaw County drew the attention of the entire country.
The events centered on a sudden wave of UFO sightings, with reports by police and citizens in March 1966.
It began on March 14, 1966, when Washtenaw County officers spotted lights in the sky, moving at high speeds over Lima Township.
The same lights were spotted by officers in Ohio, just across the Michigan border, and by observers at Selfridge Air Force Base.
