But this time the seven witnesses were officials police officers and sheriff's deputies from the two counties And their stories were backed up by more than 100 witnesses including William Van Horn a civil defense director and dozens of students who watched the football shaped object for four hours as it maneuvered near the University of Michigan campus a nearby airport and a local swamp The March 14 sightings caused an uproar and the area went on a wild UFO chase.
