UFOs Over Michigan Baffle Multiple Eyewitnesses: Could It Be Swamp Gas?  --- When I see stuff like this, more and more often I wonder if they could be quadrotor drones.  They can fly in formation, giving the appearance of possibly being a solid object from a distance, but then the lights move out of formation, indicating it isn't really a solid object at all.  But if these are drones, then who is flying them? Are they totally oblivious to the news and don't come forward because they don't know anyone is wondering what it is?  Or are they intentionally trying to perpetuate a UFO story?  Or are they up to something in secret that they don't want others to know about?
