So it came as a surprise and disappointment to get this comment from J. Jxxxx:
"There wasn't a lot to do growing up in Brighton Township. One hobby in my youth was studying, mapping and exploring the remnants of the former air base. I can say categorically that there's nothing covert going on at that property. Just some bored DNR wardens and wayward campers. All of the above ground structures form the air force base have long since been razed. Underground, it's just a bunch of storm sewers and heating plant tunnels eroding over time. They're creepy (off-limits to civilians and dangerous), but not nefarious. I had been asked to investigate a UFO sighting over the area back in the early 2000s. Near dusk, a strange light was seen bobbing over the park seemingly without sound and not moving like a conventional aircraft would. Turns out it was an ultralight aircraft. Some aviation enthusiast used the airstrip the DNR built atop the former main runway going out for a joyride near nightfall. Occam's razor, baby."
Occam's razor? Are you kidding me? If I went around all Occam's razor all the time, there'd be no point to being a UFO investigator! Then what would I do? Furthermore, if William of Ockham, he of the razor, had ever seen a UFO himself, he would have thrown his razor in the trash and sworn off philosophizing for good.
