Found one more quote from Grenier:

“Leo Grenier, director of Muskegon’s National Weather Service office, says he knows what happened – but he won’t tell. “There wasn’t any UFO,” Grenier said. “There’s an earthly explanation but I’m not going to talk about it.” The reason, Grenier said, is national security. “I was in the Navy for 20 years. I know a lot of Navy operations and a good bit (about) Navy equipment. I checked with some retired electronic technicians I know, and they confirmed what I thought.”

lol... no, one guy who wasn't there saying some vague coverup language (i know what it is, but won't tell you, but it's totally not ufo)
no that doesn't discount hundreds of eye witnesses across hundreds of miles, and the actual guy operating the radar:
https://wwmt.com/news/local/retired-meteorologist-shares-his-account-of-1994-west-michigan-ufo-sightings

it makes zero sense to keep quoting a guy who wasn't there, and who says "i know but wont tell you till i retire"

and btw, no current comments from Grenier...

also, i was there... and i know what i saw!

I'm not doubting what you saw. I'm just wondering what that Grenier guy thinks you saw. He seems to say he has a good idea of what it is. He could be a total nutter but I'd still like to know what he thinks. Hasn't some podcaster tracked him down?

And are there any photos? I couldn't seem to find any.

[–] xor@infosec.pub 1 points 9 months ago

you should watch the episode...
no pictures that i know of...
1994 was still film cameras and not very good at night photography...

i don't think he's a nutter, i think he's lying...
