GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Jack Bushong was sure he was going to lose his job.

It was the night of March 8, 1994. Working at the National Weather Service, Bushong’s radar was lighting up with stuff he’d never seen before.

He was on the phone with an Ottawa County emergency dispatcher who was looking for help identifying lights in the sky over Holland. The dispatcher was getting a lot of calls. Police officers were calling in, too.


When Bushong found out his phone call had been recorded, Bushong said he was “really scared” and lost sleep over it. He fretted about what people were going to say about what he was seeing on his screen.

“Just that people think you’re a kook,” he said, or that “you’re lying, you’re not credible. I’m supposed to be a scientist and skeptical.”

Bushong was seeing images on his radar that corresponded to what people were calling in from the ground. He had to control his radar by hand to zero in on the sky south of his station in Muskegon.

“Oh my God, what is that?” the recorded dispatch call captured him saying in a startled voice once he had zeroed in.


He said he went through his mental checklist about all the weather phenomena and technical glitches he knew about and what he was seeing didn’t fit any of them.

He saw what appeared to be solid objects “coming together and coming apart.”

“Moving about 20 miles in each jump,” he recalled. “They were hovering, then jumping. Hovering and jumping.”

After watching them for a while, they appeared to be forming a wide triangle that moved out over Lake Michigan. He said they looked solid.

“It was a flying tin can,” he said.
