Natty shares an intriguing account from 1966, when a small town in Michigan experienced a spate of unusual UFO sightings. After a local family's encounter with a football-shaped craft emitting pulsating lights, the sheriff's office received 50 more reports of similar sightings. Despite skepticism and even vandalism targeting the witnesses, the community's unwavering response led to an official investigation by Project Blue Book. The next episode promises to delve deeper into the events that followed, including further sightings in Hillsdale.
