UFOs Over Lake Michigan - A Weather Observers Tale

by Douglas M. Dubrish

Overview

It has been just over 30 years since that unforgettable Tuesday night when multiple sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects were reported over the skies of Lake Michigan, just south of Muskegon. During the week beginning March 8th, 1994, over 300 accounts of UFO sightings were documented across Muskegon, Ottawa, Berrien, and Allegan counties in Lower Michigan.

The Weather Service Office in Muskegon played a pivotal role in the events of that hectic night. A weather observer at the time detected objects on the weather radar screen and, using the Remote Height Indicator (RHI), determined the altitude of the various objects. The RHI detector, when operated manually, can display changes in height, providing critical data on these mysterious sightings.

As a staff member at the National Weather Service in Muskegon, I wasn't the observer that night, but I worked closely with the colleague who was. Shortly after the incident, he shared the details of what transpired, recounting the extraordinary experience.

Discussing such phenomena within the federal government was fraught with risk. Conversations beyond trusted colleagues could lead to labels of unintelligence and unsophistication, potentially stalling any chance of professional advancement.

UFO sightings over Lake Michigan were not uncommon at the National Weather Service Office in Muskegon. Every observer at the station witnessed these enigmatic lights, particularly during evening and midnight shifts. My own introduction to UFOs occurred not in Muskegon, but during my military service as an Air Traffic Controller in the U.S. Air Force. Stationed at Murphy Dome Air Force Site in Alaska in 1973, I observed unidentified flying objects over what is now known as the Alaskan Triangle.

"UFOs Over Lake Michigan: A Weather Observer's Tale" combines these riveting experiences, offering a unique perspective on UFO phenomena from a weather observer's viewpoint. Through firsthand accounts and detailed observations, this book explores the mysteries that continue to captivate and intrigue both believers and skeptics alike.

"In winter 1973, I was duty officer at a NORAD control center, Murphy Dome AFS, AK. One of my radar techs pointed out to me a strange track he had picked up. I watched it for a while, deciding how we should classify it or not. Its speed was about 2,100 mph, heading about 150 deg. That's significantly faster than any jet plane we had data on in our aircraft recognition manuals.

We knew nothing about SR-71's. It's possible we had detected one returning from Siberia. However, we had the flight plans (secret) for our spy plane missions and normally watched them leaving and returning. Nothing corresponded to this.

About the Author

My journey as an author has been one of discovery, where each book seemed to uncover itself as I progressed. It began with Death and Back, born from my own near-death experience. That profound moment changed everything for me—it opened my eyes to the mysteries beyond this life on Earth. I wanted to share not only the comfort and reassurance I found but also the deeper understanding I gained about the individuals journey and life after death. It wasn't just my story—it became a way to explore my existence and offer insight to others navigating life's most profound transitions.

As I delved deeper, the ideas from Death and Back naturally led me to write Spirituality Not Religion. I became fascinated by the intersection of science and spirituality, particularly through the study of biophotons and the enduring symbols of human-formed light found in ancient art. This book was about connecting the dots—between relics like the Shroud of Turin, biblical texts, and our ancient past. It was a journey to understand how spirituality, far from being fragile, has persisted and grown stronger through adversity. I wanted readers to see how our eternal spirit resonates across time, uniting science and faith in a picture framed with wonder.

From there, I found myself drawn to Christianity and Reincarnation, where I explored the early Church's recognition of reincarnation and how it was later suppressed. This book was deeply personal to me—an opportunity to examine how history, theology, and politics shaped beliefs and to shine a light on the spiritual truths that have endured despite efforts to erase them. It was my way of inviting readers to rethink what they thought they knew about faith, sparking meaningful conversations about the lost teachings of Christianity.

Finally, Family Found: The DNA Journey brought me back to my own story. As an adoptee, genealogy and DNA testing were my tools to uncover truths about identity and family. This book tied everything together for me—truth, discovery, resilience, and connection. It mirrored the themes I had explored in my other works, but in the deeply personal realm of belonging and the search for self.

Each book has been a step along this incredible journey, fueled by my curiosity and a desire to share what I've learned. I never set out to write these books with a master plan—they revealed themselves to me as I followed the threads of inspiration and discovery.
