This news article kinda freaked me out, I am Michael lee Hill, the guy talked about in the above article on Lake erie UFO's. whatever I am filming, this same phenomenon seems to have been wittnessed by people in the 1800's.

Here is qoute from the recent Plain Dealer article on my UFO footage, I had the reporter over to my house and showed him a lot of my footgae, stuff nobody else has seen yet, he wrote in that article

"Hill knows this: Aliens are out there. They have visited. They mean good. They may even want to help us save our planet. He has video of multicolor single orbs; what appear to be flamelike flickers on Lake Erie; and a purplish blob hovering in the night sky."

Now check out the following from Scientific American, New Series, Volume 3, Issue 8 (Aug 18, 1860)

OPTICAL ILLUSION ON LAKE ERIE.--The Cleveland, Ohio, Herald says that a tremendous thunder shower passed over that city on the night of the 3d inst., and adds :-- "Between three and four o’clock next morning the appearance of a vessel on fire was seen far out on the lake. Some persons thought they could distinguish the sails. During a heavy gust of wind the light disappeared. Such appearances are not unfrequent on the lake, and the more experienced men along the dock think there has been no vessel burnt."

And from "A Curious Phenomenon on Lake Erie," Brooklyn Eagle, Thursday, December 12, 1867

A Mystery on the Lakes--The Wizard Lights--A Curious Phenomenon on Lake Erie

"The statement that a vessel was seen burning off Erie on Tuesday night, is corroborated by several persons living on the highlands south of the city, who say they saw it."

On the Tuesday evening mentioned, Oct. 29th, at about 7 o'clock, my attention was called by one of my family to a bright light on the lake, having very much the appearance of a vessel on fire.


Isn't it strange that all three reports speak of this "something" on fire out over Lake Erie?

The footage I have of this "flame like" phenomenon has not been released publically yet but I showed the Plain Dealer reporter, this footage shows three balls of light with what looks like may be beams of light coming from the bottom of the orb down into the lake creating a cery bright collumn of light, almost looks like fire because it looks like water is being sucked up and returned into the lake within this beam of light, it really does have the appearance of a pillar of fire. As a matter of fact, that is what i called it, the pillar of fire footage.

Then I heard that this same phenomenon has also been wittnessed over Lake Ontario by a group called WWW.Orbwatch.com so I went their site and to my amazement they had this same "pillars of fire" footage like I have filmed and even called it "Pillars of fire"!!!! They also have captured the same single, double, and triple configuration Orbs of Light I have filmed over Lake Erie as well.
