I used to laugh at UFO videos until I saw one over Lake Michigan

For years I thought all those blurry lights were just drones or Chinese lanterns. Then last August I was camping near Ludington and saw a triangle of orange lights move silently across the water for a full 3 minutes. My buddy pulled out his phone and we both got the same weird wobble pattern on film, not like any aircraft I've ever seen. The FAA radar site showed nothing in that area at 11:47 PM that night. Now I'm going through old declassified CIA documents and realizing they've been studying this stuff since the 1950s. Has anyone else had a sighting that completely flipped their opinion?

So you're digging through CIA documents now because you saw some lights over a lake? Seems like a big jump from a pretty common sighting story.

Reminds me of the time my neighbor swore he saw a ghost in his garage. Turned out to be a possum stuck in a box of Christmas lights.

Oh sure, because nothing screams "reasonable deduction" like watching some flickering lights over a lake and then spending your weekend scrolling through declassified CIA files on your couch in your pajamas. Like, I get it, sometimes a plane looks weird or a drone does something funky, but the next step isn't "let me find the secret government report on this." That's like seeing a raccoon in your trash and calling the FBI to report a wildlife conspiracy. Nancy's neighbor with the possum in the Christmas lights had the right idea. Sometimes a light is just a light, or a possum is just a really confused possum.
