The Encounter
Michael W. Smith served in the Air Force from 1969 to 1973 as an aircraft control operator. In the spring of 1970, while on duty at a radar site, he learned that his colleagues were tracking a UFO. They observed it moving erratically on radar, hovering, and disappearing behind mountains. NORAD was aware of the situation but instructed them not to report it or discuss it. In 1972, while stationed in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, he received frantic calls about UFOs from the state police. He saw them on radar but instinctively reported nothing. After these encounters, he felt a strong desire to share his experiences, but he faced pressure to remain silent. His views on government transparency changed over time, especially after discussing the events with his father.
