Bright object observed over Bark River in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (1961)

Project Blue Book Case #7284. On February 27, 1961, a bright object was observed over Bark River, Michigan — a small community in Delta County in the Upper Peninsula. The remote, forested UP, bordered by Lakes Michigan and Superior, provided dark skies and isolation. K.I. Sawyer AFB, a SAC installation, was approximately 60 miles to the north. The case was classified "Unknown."
