This is concerning the article that was taken about the UFO that I photographed. The expert claimed it was a bird. That expert was Mr. Davenport, who was the first person I sent the pics I took to. When I sent the pics to him, I sent him the pictures as they were with no alteration and told him where to magnify the pictures to get a clear view of what I was showing him. Mr. Davenport did not do so. In fact, he wrote both myself and Kayla, who wrote the article in the Cadillac News saying he did not even look at the pictures. His review of my pictures being birds was nothing more than him throwing out a common excuse to cover his own laziness. When the story was published in the Cadillac News, with the pictures shown, Mr. Davenport became the laugh of the town. Anyone with eyes could tell the pictures were nothing at all like birds. I further went out and took pictures of birds in the sky, from all different angles and spacial depths, and of many different species native to the area, and nothing came close to the UFO pictures I took.

The pictures actually contained 3 different kinds of objects. The first one is the silvery object that you talk about in your article. However, above it were three shadowy, disk shaped objects. When I went through all the pictures I had taken that day, you can see these objects in motion, starting with one over Lake Cadillac, to three over the silvery UFO. Another object was in pictures taken the year before of downtown Cadillac. Two photos show an object, about the size of a large truck, coming out of a cloud above the downtown buildings.

You can see the time taken between the two pictures as less than a minute if you look at the traffic light and the movement of the cars. In that time, the object covers a decent amount of space in the air, going from partially concealed to fully shown. The object is disk shaped, silvery and has a dark spot at the bottom of it. It also has some sort of distortion behind it, similar to the heat waves you see coming off the road on a hot day. The last I checked, birds were not disk shaped, nor do they have heat trails. The pictures have all been checked out and found to be authentic. It seems the only one who did take the time to see what was really in the pictures was the expert, Mr. Davenport.

Another interesting thing about that case is that both Kayla and I have done some research on sighting in the area. The year before, to the exact day, there were several sightings of UFOs. In fact, there have been hundreds of sightings from early summer to early fall all over this area, from Evart to Traverse City. I was actually checking to see if anything had come up for this years (2009) when I found your site.

I suggest we leave the truth of the issue to the readers here. I still have all the pictures, and I would be delighted to not only give the pics to the site here, but also give them to anyone who emails me asking for them.
