article is a bit misleading... the sightings were primarily in Dexter and at Hillsdale College. by "Ann Arbor area" they mean "the parts of Michigan that are more like Florida."

after the initial hilljacks and morons in the local police force got involved, smart-ass pranksters at the University of Michigan got into the act.
Ascending the snow-covered slope at 3 a.m. officers found not an alien spacecraft but a large rock wrapped in tinfoil. Next to the rock were a desk lamp, an electric space heater, and a tape recorder, all powered by an extension cord that led to the kitchen of the nearby Zeta Beta Tau fraternity house (now owned by the University and renamed the Stearns Building).
this is funny too:
"There was no laughter at the Mannor home in Dexter Township, however. After the sightings were reported in the press the family experienced excessive ridicule and harassment that included crank phone calls in the middle of the night and vandals prowling their property after dark."
it sucks that because of cell phones, no one makes crank calls anymore. crank calls were the greatest. if we were bored as teenagers, there was amusement to be had at someone else's expense, just a phone call away. the angrier they got, the harder we would laugh.
