DEXTER, Mich. (AP) — One man played a violin and another used a “universal
mathematical equation” in unsuccessful attempts to entice Unidentified Flying
Objects to return.
Hundreds of persons, many with cameras and binoculars, braved an icy rain in
hopes of catching a glimpse of the glowing discs that have been reported three
times within a week near this small southeastern Michigan community.
Meanwhile, another report of a sighting came from Civil Defence Director
William Van Horn of Hillsdale County, about 65 miles southwest of the Dexter
area.
Van Horn said he used binoculars to observe a flying object east of Hillsdale
from 10:30 a.m. Tuesday. Van Horn said he watched it from a dormitory at
Hillsdale College after residents told him they had sighted a mysterious
object.
At Dexter, believers and non-believers converged on the area where a farmer
and his son said they saw one of the UFOs in a swamp.
TRIED MUSIC LURE
Sheriff’s deputies said one man brought his fiddle and began playing; hoping
the pilots of the UFOs would hear and come to earth.
Another man sat in his car blinking his headlights in code. He explained that
the code was for the universal equation pi which is known and understood, he
said, throughout the universe.
Some persons ventured into the swampy area, seeking evidence that the craft
had landed there.
The latest Dexter sightings were made Sunday by more than a score of persons,
including police officers. A composite description put the objects as
triangular in shape, with a V-shaped antenna protruding from their
undercarriages. They are said to bear lights which flash in a variety of
colors and intensities.
Meanwhile, U.S. representative Weston Vivian of Michigan, planned to ask the
U.S. defence department to investigate the reported sightings and
Wright-Patterson air force base said its unidentified flying objects office
had begun an investigation.
