UFO - Extraterrestrial Reality
Mick West pushes absurd theory that 1994 Ariel School aliens were puppets
In a hypothesis that is sure to top even the preposterous "swamp gas" excuse to explain a flying saucer seen by hundreds in 1966 in Michigan, UFO debunker Mick West is now proposing that alien beings and flying saucers witnessed by 62 school children in Zimbabwe in 1994 could have been puppets. UK resident Gideon Reid presented the hypothesis in July on his blog, and West is now floating it as a possibility to explain what the children saw.

Michigan Dogman
In the dark of night, something may or may not be lurking around in northwest Michigan. Sightings date back more than a hundred years for this cryptid, and it’s been spotted more often than famous cryptids like Mothman or the Flat Woods Monster.
