As I continue to listen to The Saucer Life podcast, I remembered this comic book I have held onto since I was a kid in the 60's. I believe it was purchased by my older brother, but it made a big impression on me: UFO FLYING SAUCERS! Where do they come from - What do they want? All valid questions. Being from Michigan, I was especially interested in the story about the UFO sightings in Dexter and Hillsdale in 1966. Below is the comic book version. The Saucer Life's Aaron Gulyas tells the tale on a live episode of the podcast. His slides contain some of the sketches done by the Hillsdale college students describing the "quilted surface" of the saucers. ![]() Note the mention of "swamp" (which is a basic description of just about anywhere in Michigan.) ![]() That's right, it's heading for the SWAMP! OK- it was swamp gas all along. Sure, sure... On my reading list is a book entitled "Swamp Gas, My Ass" by ex-Patterson-Wright Air Force Base employee Raymond Szymanski which covers "the extraordinary true story of two highly decorated U. S. Air Force fighter-interceptor pilots, fully enmeshed in America’s hidden military history. Together they intercepted the world famous “1966 Michigan Swamp Gas UFO” in supersonic F-106 jets – a history changing story, denied by the government, told here for the very first time." Patterson-Wright AFB looms large in UFO legend, as it supposedly contains the remains from the Roswell crash in secret "Hanger 18." I was actually at the National Air Force Museum at Patt-Wright AFB last summer, before I knew any of this. If only I had known we might have been able to do some hands on research. Paul K, at the National Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson, perhaps heading out to look for the aliens? Is the truth still out there???
Also, what part of "do not touch the suit" do you not understand? (Once a museum guard, unfortunately, always a museum guard!)
