Wisconsin UFO Sightings in 2001

Full Report Text:

We walked out into the front yard, to take the dog out. Its a clear night, and we both looked up at the sky. Slightly off to the left, were at least 6 orbs? They were in a straight line and moved upward toward and eventually disappearing into the equuleus constellation.

They each moved upward, similar to rising in an elevator. Each would go up, and then go out of sight/disappear. They were not crowded either, they were perfectly spaced apart.

Transparent object of unknown origin, exhibiting previously unknown capabilities, appears overhead. October 22, 2001 12:35 AM I was looking straight up in the sky when I noticed that the sky appeared to be moving. I looked closer, and noticed a triangular object that appeared to be transparent, and outlined in lights.

The lights were 1/2-1/4 the light of the nearest stars. The body of the craft moved from the 90 degree angle that it first appeared to me, to approx. 45 degrees on the Southern horizon before disappearing (it became too hard to see- IT DID NOT SPEED OFF).

The body of the craft fluctuated, acting as if it were floating atop the waves in the ocean. The lights all appeared to be fixed to the craft, and moved in unison with body. The craft appeared to be bigger than a full moon in size.

The craft appeared to be moving steadily, and my view of it lasted approximately 7 seconds. What was interesting, is that it seemed like you could look through the body of the craft, and see the sky behind it.

A very large, quiet, moving, object with dim lit star like lights that formed a triangle like shape. Star like lights that formed a large elongated triangle- 3 star lights {very dim} at each end and 3 more in the back. It moved slowly and quietly.

It was very large too. I followed it for about 5 minutes, but it then seem to completely vanish from my view. You have a sigting on your front page described on April 27 2001 with a drawing of the vessel.

Everything is the same except for the speed. It is really eery but I also felt the same way, as if this vessel was invisible or being sneaky, because to be able to have seen this object, would seem to be impossibe, but I seem to be looking at the right spot at the right time. It caught my eye, because at first I thought it was three stars, but they were moving! Then I drove closer, stopped the car and got out of the car, and got a good look at it.

It was definetly moving slowly, low and quietly. Then I got back in my car to follow it for about a minute, then I lost it eventually. It seem to vanish from my eyes.

This was not an obvious thing to see until you realize it. Once I realized it was something large and not a plane that I know of, I was very nervous and excited and kept watching until I lost it.

A large quiet moving object that has dim star like lights that formed a triangle like shape. Star like lights that formed a large elongated triangle. At each end was a dim star like light and three in the back.

It moved slowly, quietly and was very large. The descrpition of a signting on your front page matches mine exactly, except my sighting, the object was moving slowly. {It was the April 27 2001 sighting with a drawing to go along with his story.

} It is eery because I felt the same way, as if it was sneaky. I can't believe I noticed it, because it is as if it is camouflaged in the night sky. I just so happen to look up and notice three stars movng and thought that is odd, so I drove closer, and got out of my car and really took a good look at it.

It was relatively low, very quiet, and seem to be very large. At this time, I became nervous, because I knew that what I was watching was not of the norm. Then I got back in my car and followed it for a minute, but then it seem to vanish from my view.

It really could be very hard to realize it was there unless you were looking at there at the right time, but once I realized that this was definetly a moving object, it really kind of scared me, because of the size and the whole thing.

My brother and I went outside to have a smoke and then noticed a moving, multicolored light in the sky. My brother and I went outside to have a smoke and then noticed a moving, multicolored light in the sky. It would move only a few degrees, both verticaly and lateraly.

It wasn't a specific color, but changed colors. It would bob and move in small circles. It also seemed to have a two prominent spikes; one going off to the left, and one off the top.

The object looked as though it were no closer than a satellite. (However, my brother and I speculated that this could not be a satellite because it didn't move enough, it changed colors, and it was in roughly the same spot over a period of about two hours. Both of us are sure it wasn't a star--it was too big and moved; however, if forced to guess what this object was, I would have to say a large star whose light was bent by oscillations in the earths atmosphire.

is that possible? I did take several pictures with a manual camera--they are being developed. I wonder if there is an agency (NASA maybe?) who can scan the pictures, identify the stars, and then tell me what the object is? Can anyone help me? Anyone else see this? E-mail me at: ((e-address deleted)) As soon as I have the pictures (if they turn out), I will provide a link for people to examine them. ((NUFORC Note: We suspect a twinkling star may have been the cause of the sighting.

PD)).

There was a light source larger than a star with several colors moving erratically in the sky. There is one area of light bigger than a star moving erratically in the sky. There are several colors.

Through a binoculars it looked like a central light source with a web of lights around it. It stayed close to the horizon but our neighbor saw it move before we showed up. ((NUFORC Note: We observe that the sighting is not inconsistent with that of a "twinkling" star.

However, confirmation would require a star chart, or triangulation. PD)).

Two extremely loud electical/plastic sounding/zapping explosions overhead at 9:45pm on 09/22/01 Just as I was falling asleep at about 9:45pm (I had to be up for work at 5:00am). I was startled by an incredible electical popping/banging sound. I jumped out of bed and ran to the window.

I saw nothing. I thought maybe fireworks were set off in the neighborhood. I went back to bed.

Just as I pulled the sheets up, I heard a second, same kind of noise. To be descriptive, it sounded as if someone has put a tupperware container in a microwave oven and left the lid on which caused a plastic sounding explosion/bang, but ten times the noise. I covered my ears after each explosion it was so loud.

My cat was obviously distrubed and immediately headed for the basement. After the second explosion I looked out front and saw most of the nieghbors in the area turning on their porch lights and looking around outside. I thought it resembled a sonic boom or space debris re-entering the atmosphere.

Observed two yellowish spheres interconnected with unvisible bonds moving very low accross the skies without any noice or sound For some reason I woke up around 4 a.m. and cuold't sleep.

So, still laying down in the bad I was stearing through window on the stars. Several min later saddenly I sow a strage object passing the skies from north to south. It looked like two yellowish spheres which were interconnected by unvisible bonds.

I immediately woke up my wife screeming "Look UFO!" And she sow this thing also.She was shocked. I jumped out of my bed and rushed for video camera.

I was concerned about the time and therefore worked quickly . It was pretty cold outside and grass was very wet, inspite I was bearfeeted and shaking I was able to locate the object and pointed the camera on it. Unfortunately comcorder screen blinked once and that showed low battery indicator.

I was so upset.Soon object vanished soundless and I returned back home.Couple days before I was recording my kids on camera and comletely forgot to charge the battery.

Rest of the night we could't sleep discussing this event.

Full Report Text:

Many lights went by us and followed us when we ran. We were making out in a cornfield when we heard a strage humming noice. We looked around and one of our group spotted a group of lights headed just slightly away from us.

There were about 8 of them and they seemed to be traveling at an astonishingly fast speed that was steadily moving about one hundred feet above us. Some of the more timid members of our group got scared and we all ran with them south, and away from the lights. When we were running we could tell by how our shadows had shifted and moved to in front of us (rather than to the left) that they were following us.

We ran and ran as they stayed aproximatly the same distance behind us when we then hid in a cave that was along the side of the rood. The next day those of us who lived nearby woke up to go to work and found that we must have walked in our sleep and hurt our noses (our pillows had a little blood on them) which we think must have been a psychological effect from taking in the fearsome sight of the UFO.

Object seen while veiwing airial (chemtrail) jet spraying. While watching repeated airial jet spraying being done over the region (chemtrails) at noon on Labor Day, I spotted an object which appeared stationary in the view of my 11 X 80 binoculars. The object was very high, appeared shinny and reflecting sunlight.

It was situated almost directly overhead. Regional latitude is 45°. The sky was clear except for the clouds created by the arial spraying, surface temps around 80°, winds calm.

I set up my tripod and camera with zoom lens to 450 mm. I took several pictures of this but even with this magnification the object was still quite small. In the veiw finder I noticed a slight movement to the west.

This change in position was similar to speed and direction as if watching a star at night i.e earth's rotational movement. Is it possible to see the International Space Station during a bright sunny day? If not then I'm unsure as to what this may have been.

At this time the photos are still undeveloped. ((NUFORC Note: Although much has been said and written about the alleged "chemtrails," we continue to reserve judgment on that issue. We have seen no strong evidence to support their existence, in fact.

However, we do not know what the object was that the witness apparently witnessed. PD)).

Several spherical lights clustered together and moving independently in the SE sky. NOT STARS. Witnessed by Astonomy tutor .

As a former Astronomy tutor at the University, I went outside almost every night this summer to have a cigarette and enjoy the night sky, My roommate and myself watched Mars move across the sky over the summer months. We were used to seeing the hororscopial constellations moved across the sky through the night and see a changing sky .

1 bright object sharp focus oval egg shape (tear drop like shape)flying at a very high rate of speed north I am a 43 year old Postal worker. I was out walking the dog when I observed 1 bright object sharp focus oval egg shape (tear drop like shape)flying at a very high rate of speed north. Lost image behind clouds.

Object was moving far too fast to be a jet or plane image too sharp to be an asteroid or shooting star. estimate altitude at 15,000 feet. above low level clouds.

Half acre sized black disc seen over Greendale, Wisconsin. The object was totally black. It was disc shaped.

There was a golden yellow light in the very center. It was flying very low, about 100 feet above the tree tops. It was in sight for about four minutes, due to trees blocking the view.

I had assumed that discs were silver, and the triangular ones were black. It was rather large. I would guess it would take up about 1/2 an acre if it landed.

It DID make a sound. It sounded like a pulsing jet engine. It wasn't particularly loud, however.

There was a lot of air traffic last night. Particularly high flying, fast jets. Also several satellites passed overhead between nine pm and 11 pm.

Full Report Text:

20-30 flying objects with lights of different colors all traveling to same spot, slowing down and disappearing in same place. It started off with a huge flash we now know was an Iridium flash (east of our place). Then my friend saw a beam of light in the sky (which I didn't see).

The first "craft" appeared right where the iridium flash disappeared. It looked like a disc with flashing lights of blue, violet, red, green white. All of these light colors were on each of these ships.

There looked like one light of each color on each of these, but they mostly flashed two at a time. This craft was "hovering" there, sitting in one spot but sort of moving back and forth just a bit. Then it shot off to the west very quickly.

It took about two seconds to cross the sky and disappear. Then from the west (not from one particular spot) more came, 1 or 2 at a time. They looked just like the first one, 20-30 total (I wasn't counting so I am unsure of this).

They traveled at the same speed to the east to the spot where the iridium flash had been. They each started to slow down right before they got to this spot, almost to a stop. It slowly went behind the tree (I could see it through the leaves) and right when it came out from behind the tree they disappeared.

Two airplanes did fly over right after it ended, and they weren't anything like the crafts. I'm not sure if they were chasing them or not. ((NUFORC Note: We spoke with the two young witnesses to this event, and we found them to be exceptionally credible for observers of any age.

PD)).

At this time my husband had just rolled over to fall asleep. I was reading. We live in the country with no one nearby.

All of a sudden strange rapping occured on the outside front of my house. It was random and moving around, a few here and there. My husband heard them too, and laughed and said, "well,it's outside, so don't worry".

I wasn't scared, but knew it wasn't "possible" as there is no porch here, no trees in front, etc., and thought about the girls sleeping outback and thought to myself, "I bet they'll see UFOs tonight". When they came in and told me their stories in the morning (which we just sent to you, but accidentally dated 9/19 instead of 8/19) I believed them instantly because of what had happened at the same time.

We know the timing of their event because of looking up the Iridian flash on the internet, and I looked at my clock when the "rapping" began. i know this isn't a "ufo" sighting, but it seemed important to tell you for some reason. ((NUFORC Note: Second observer to the event, the mother of one of the other two observers.

PD)).

Bright, slow moving, zig-zagging light moving SE from SW. It's a very clear starry night. My husband an I were enjoying a campfire when he asked, "Is that an airplane?" as he pointed to the southern sky.

We watched the light for a minute or so before it zig-zagged. I said, "It's definatly not an airplane. Maybe it's a meteor.

" We have seen wuite a number of satelites and shooting stars ansd discussed those options before discounting them. The zig-zaggin light was way too low and bright ans it was slow moving. It moved slowly, zig-zagging once and a while, from the south-west sky in a south-east direction.

I stood and followed it for a moment and it disapeared. There seemed to be a faint orangy-red glow just as it disapeared. I called channel Fox Six News to report it.

My hope is that someone else saw it and were as perplexed as we were.

So for this intense light,being thesize of a football field, to just disappear as though a switch was flipped off. My son and I were visiting in Green Lake,Wisconsin.That friday night, I was walking "Rocky" the dog when I saw a flash of light, perhaps a falling star.

Then a bright, intense starlike light was approaching from the west at a medium rate of speed.I thought this might be the lights on a commercial jet. Straining to see any blinking lights I thought "where is the engine noise?" I was listening for gas propellent for balloons.

The bright intense light passed overhead and to the east. Still no green or red flashing lights.Then it was just gone, like it went into a black hole or something.

The night was very clear and one could see all the stars including the south to north track of satellites.So for this intense light,being the size of a football field,to just disappear as though a switch was flipped off seemed impossible. I went back to get my son and binoculars to go back out.

Again a shooting star and then a bright light.Looking at the object through our binoculars we still did not see any flashing aircraft lights,no noise,just motion.The white intense light,smaller though, or the same one farther away, heading in a different direction? Did anyone else see this?.

Large red light speeding over Berlin, WI. I was traveling on County Highway A at about 70 mph just outside of Berlin, driving past Mascoutin Golf Course, and heading for the town of Berlin at about 22:30. As I was driving, I notice a craft with a bright red colored light on it, not blinking, and bigger than an airplane light.

The light was the predominant feature of the craft, and in the front. The proportions were if you would take a lightbulb and attach it to a half blown up balloon. There were other lights on the object as well, but the big red light was the main feature.

It was low in the sky, but not incredibly, but it was moving very fast. I saw it for about 1 minute before I had to turn and head north towards town. It was moving very fast, and quickly getting out of my field of vision, but I was still able to see it, I was still going 70 mph.

I watched it for about another 45 seconds to 1 minute before reaching Berlin, where I had to slow down, and then lost sight of the craft. The whole time, the red light did not blink, and the object moved incredibly fast.
