Quote from the article:
“Thomas Manke, 20, of Owosso described what he saw as ‘like a giant spotlight’ about 400 feet above the train.

Conductor Dennis McKanich peered at the lights from the rear of the train but ‘the lights were so bright he couldn’t look at it,’ Manke said.

He said, after hovering for a while, the object headed northeast at a high rate of speed.

The policemen, Prestion McBride and Charles Lain, told their commanding officer they saw ‘two white flashing lights at first and then a third bright light followed by a flashing red light.’

They said the object they saw sped towards the southwest.”
