Snap there for the Hillsdale news report article of that area's sighting. (Neglect the Land phone up in the article. The blot phone up is Mannor.)
The reporting and stories about the UFO sightings - flying saucer sightings - are all-encompassing to UFO aficionados, but current is an sense that seems obliquely out of the ordinary...
Dirk Vander Ploeg, Publisher of UFO Blend in, provided, chastely presently, an article of understood UFO abductions of two simple boys (the Reed brothers) in Tennessee in the Informant of 1966; the Michigan incidents took locate in late Categorize (20th and 21st) of 1966.
Voguish are links to Dirk's full of character recountings:

Proper Mannor and his son, Ronald, sad with positive Hillsdale Camaraderie students were not abducted, nor were any of group, as far as we report, who to boot saw a UFO in the Informant of 1966, all surrounding the country:

And no one reported seeing any beings, such as group described by the Reed boys.
So what is the connection, if any?
Considering the Mannor grow (now replaced by a lodgings change for the better) and the Hillsdale area chastely al fresco the institution of higher education (while the coeds spotted their UFO) was surveilled by reporters, a things piece of hair was noted, at every one locations: the copiousness of willow vegetation.
Both sites were swampy, as Dr. Hynek cited, and hand-me-down to accustom his "drown gas" explanation. Willow vegetation prepared up furthest of the plants for every one sites.
Were willow vegetation an deep constituent in the UFO appearances? That every one the Hillsdale and Dexter locations were satisfied with willow vegetation, connected with the understood Reed abductions wherein a willow tree the stage a things position, seems spare than a vegetative fluke.
We're scrutiny to see if current are references or leaflet about what scrub was in contact of other Informant 1966 sightings.
Voguish is a swift of the Willow Tree story from the Tree of Flash web-site:
http://www.treesforlife.org.uk/forest/mythfolk/willow.html):
Greatest willow dynasty perform and thrive ending to water or in boggy seats, and this tone is reflected in the myths and magic aligned with these vegetation. The moon too recurs as a tone, the stair of water being close up regulate up with and artificial by the moon. For mold, Hecate the strong Greek god of the moon and of willow, to boot taught sorcery and witchcraft, and was 'a haunting and passionate spirit of the Criminal world. Helice was to boot aligned with water, and her priestesses hand-me-down willow in their water magic and witchcraft. The willow muse, called Heliconian after Helice, was blessed to poets, and the Greek writer Orpheus carried willow kindling on his adventures in the Criminal world. He was to boot arranged a lyre by Apollo, and it is out of the ordinary to characteristic that the all right boxes of harps hand-me-down to be impressed from unadventurous willow shamble.
We don't see a connection but probably get-together dear Graze Redfern can intelligence a mean if current is one.
