Wisconsin UFO Sightings in 1974

Full Report Text:

On a date on a dark night a white sphere rises and moves toward a group of other lights then goes at amazing speed. It was 1974, and I was on a date where common 20 something necking was occurring. Then there were metallic machine like noises.

Then a bright white light rose from a nearby farm field, probably a good 400 yards away. It rose rapidly in the sky. It went among a large grouping of lights, which I later learned were commercial airliners waiting in line for O'Hare airport.

The thing is it came to mimic the lights shifting to a similar orange light. It sped through or near the formation at an incredible speed, even faster than satellites I have seen previous to that. It simply was gone, as I turned to point it out to the woman I was with.

It must have given some pilots a fright. Though a local sheriff spokesperson told me I was mistaken and that it was an airliner. I was spooked and we went right back to my dorm and the date was over.

a series of lights moving like a snake I was coming in from loading my woodburner and as I came around the house a series of 8 lights caught my eye and it seemed stationary until it turned. It disappeared very shortly as a national guard blackhawk was coming in for its training manuvers. Since then we have heard more helicopters in the area which is rare out here.

when my uncle tried to get close my mother ran into the room and made us all get onto the floor and to stop looking out the window. we had reported this to the police and they said that they had about 20 reports over the last 30 to 40 minutes. we dont talk about this anymore but i saw what i saw and you cannot take that out of my mind no matter what anyone says.

Mostly sunny afternoon. I was hanging upside down on playground equipment at a parochial school. I saw twinkling objects in the Northwest sky.

I thought i had been upside down too long. but when i regained my balance they were still there. I contacted my school principal.

He told me he would call the proper authorities. Everyone on the playground seen it. there were a multitude of twinkling lights way up in the sky.

all silver. very small but yet visibly shining. there was also an airplane coming in from the southwest, it went behind a cloud and there was a loud explosion.

I never saw the plane come back out of the cloud. nor did i see anything fall out of the sky. My principal got back to me and told me the airforce had checked out the lights.

I was told it was just tinfoil in the sky. I never saw any report on this incident. ((NUFORC Note: Date is unknown to the witness.

We have assigned an arbitrary date in June 1974, so the case sorts to that date. PD)).
