On March 20, 1966, the Dexter area experienced "one of the most infamous of all [[UFO]] sightings in history" when local truck driver Frank Mannor spotted a glowing object near his home.  Astronomer [[J. Allen Hynek]] visited Dexter and declared the [[Michigan "swamp gas" UFO reports|Dexter mass sighting]] was probably caused by "swamp gas," a term which has since become closely affiliated with UFO sightings.  Hynek's swamp gas theory prompted then-Michigan Congressman (and future president) [[Gerald R. Ford]] to call for a thorough Congressional investigation of "the rash of reported sightings of unidentified flying objects in southern Michigan".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ufos-over-michigan-baffle-eyewitnesses_n_2473906|title=UFOs Over Michigan Baffle Multiple Eyewitnesses (VIDEO)|date=January 15, 2013|website=HuffPost.com|access-date=January 31, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://michigantoday.umich.edu/2014/04/13/ann-arbor-vs-the-flying-saucers/|title=Ann Arbor vs. the flying saucers|date=April 13, 2014|newspaper=[[Michigan Today]]|access-date=January 31, 2022}}</ref>
