Man went outdoors, witnessed approx. 50 blue and green, pulsating objects moving in the storm clouds. Good rept. Man is awakened by barking dogs, and goes outside to smoke. As he looked at the storm clouds overhead, he noticed approximately 50 bright blue objects in the night sky. At first he thought they were stars, but then realized they were moving and occasionally forming into "starlike" clusters. Some moved west toward the ocean, and others appeared to rise up higher in the atmosphere, at which point they would be joined by smaller, green objects, that appeared to fly in from out in space. The larger objects appeared to be emitting a pulsing light. They also seemed to be flying into, and between, the tops of the storm clouds in the area. The observer tired of the events after approximately 45 minutes and went back to bed.

Commuter airliner w/ passengers turns, descends 12,500' to avoid a bizarre, extremely bright obj. directly ahead. Obj. could "jump." A pilot and his 1st officer in a Beechcraft 1900 with passengers, while flying at 16,000 feet between layers of solid overcast 90 miles southeast of Saginaw, MI, suddenly see a large, bizarre ball of light appear in front of them. They both thought it was another aircraft and were concerned that it might collide with them, so they turned on their identification lights and initiated a turn. The object apparently was capable of "jumping" suddenly, perhaps as much as 20 or 30 miles within 1 second time. The crew requested clearance to descend, which they did. they descended to 9500 feet, but the object appeared to descend with them, staying on their now, "12:00" position. They continued their descent to 3,500 feet, where they entered the clouds. Another airliner, a Northwest commuter (Callsign: "Masaba") witnessed the interaction. Multiple conversations occured with Cleveland Center and Saginaw Approach about the incident. The crew borrowed a still camera from one of the passengers, and attempted to photograph the object. The camera and film were returned to the passenger after the photograph had been taken. Copy of radio communication requested 04MR96 under FOIA.
