Craft's over Firth Lake in Cornell, Wisconsin 500 Lights On Object0: Yes The first craft was observed during wisconsin deer gun season. There are three total witnesses. The events I will cover happened in the same exact location on Chippewa County public land over Firth Lake Latitude: 45.

2024648 Longitude: -91.2134803. The first craft was observed as Witness A was peering out of the camper window because they noticed lights outside.

Witness A and Witness B went outside to check it out and Witness C stayed in the camper and pulled the blankets over their head. The object looked like about 20 lanterns hovering directly over Firth Lake approximately 15-20 feet above the lake. Witness B picked up a flash light and was going to shine it at the craft, Witness A yelled at Witness B not to do that.

There were many bright white lights, however, you could tell it was only 1 craft and it was circular in shape and huge. The craft just sat there for about 5 minutes and then in an instant shot directly up into the sky and was out of sight. The second sighting was during bow hunting season approximately a year later.

Approximately 3pm witness D was in a tree stand and could see Firth Lake. Out of no where comes 1 very bright white orb. It was observed going around Firth Lake in a circular motion at a fast speed as well as moving up and down over the lake and then vanished into the woods.

Witness D was at first was amazed and then suddenly overcome with fear. Witness D hasn't been back since Background Witness A - Army/Airforce/Truck Driver 74 years old Witness B - Army/Plant Manager 45 years old Witness C - Nursing Home Activity Director 72 years old Witness D - Metal Injection Molding Operations 25 years old I am not sure if this is a government agency I am reporting to or just some MUFON type of business. I would really like to know what in the hell is going on there, I have heard there have been other sightings.

I haven't been back there to deer hunt since because I am just creeped the hell out by it. People say it's just the Military, but why would they fly over Firth Lake? There is nothing there for the Military.it's county hunting land.

I think some tests need to be done in that water there is something about that tiny lake that is attracting these things. I would be willing to point anyone to the exact location where the crafts come to. I used to enjoy hunting there with my family.

Ever since this I have not been back, I tried, but I get this erie feeling that someone or something is watching me and I always have to watch my back there. I know it can't be military, why would they fly in like that in some wierd craft during hunting season? What kind of Military personnel would fly around in a white orb doing circles around some random tiny lake? I could see MAYBE flying in that large circle craft, however, that thing literally shot up into space so fast there is no way a human would survive.at least to my knowledge of G's.

What would happen if someone shot at one of these with a high caliber deer rifle? ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

followed by giant flashing orb for quarter-mile Dear reader I was on a trip across cuntry heading home. It was late in the night. We were 23 miles out of the next biggest town.

We had passed a mile to city sign. We had both wittnesed a shooting star. It went strait down in direction.

There wasen't much thought put in to it. Until we got closer to the point of where it could have landded. i looked out of the truck and at a 45 degree angle i saw a large bright flash.

The flash then started to follow along side us for about a quarter to a half of a mile. we had then reached a clearing in the woods. it stopped in the middle of the clearing.

the flash was a giant white no trail, no vapor,and nothing under it. It was the flash though it some howlit up every thing for miles. i could see with out restriction.

String of lights like string of geese moving very fast from Northwest to southeast. I noticed what looked like a string of geese flying very fast from Northwest to Southeast. There were 3 lights in a row in the front, one slightly behind the northern most light, then at least ten lights following behind the center light.

I heard no sound and it was fast than birds or a commercial plane. Within a minute, it was too far away to see.

Two big, round balls of fire hovering over beloit, Wi near the South Beloit border My daughter, son, and I were sitting in the car in front of our house when she started saying "mom there's 2 meteors coming towards us". I jumped out of the car to see them and starred in amazment, realizing they weren't meteors but were bright red or orange balls of fire that seemed to be following each other like they were playing. Each ball kept moving ahead of the other until they stopped right in front of us and just hoovered there for about 5 more minutes.

We saw an airplane coming towards them and all of a sudden one of the firballs started to get lighter, then darker again, and lighter until it was no longer visible and then the other one did the same until both were gone completely! I waited to see if they'd come back into sight but didn't and my neighbor also was outside and seen them as well. I do beleive what we all saw was 2 ufo's and have never been so scared in my life! ((NUFORC Note: Date may be wrong. Source of report may have intended to write 11/05/2009, not 10/05/2009.

We have changed the date, but have no way to confirm our suspicion, given that the party elected to remain totally anonymous, and provided no contact information. PD)).

Low Flying oval craft with flashing colored lights moving slowly across the sky. My dad, his girlfriend, and I all saw the flying craft. It looked like an oval moving pretty slowly and low in the sky.

It caught my attention pretty easily. It almost looked like it was headed towards the Airport which is pretty close to where I saw it. It has the ability to hover, not sure for how long but it did it a few times for about 10 seconds each time.

It had many bright flashing lights, and they seemed to rotate around the craft. The colors varied from yellow, blue, green, red and purple. It was pretty far away but I could still see it clearly for the most part.

It was a clear blue sky and it was all open area. The area has some woods but is mainly fields and clear land. I was inside my house and I saw it through the window, it must be a very silent moving craft because my dad had not seen it when I called him.

He was taking a walk and he had no idea it was there until I told him about it. It was too far away to look like anything more than a tiny ! circle of light on the camera on my phone.

yellow circle that materialized with a small circular craft and then vanished afterwards I was staying up late playing games. At 4 in the morning my mom wakes up to go to school. Because Milwaukee has laws about parking on certain sides of the street my mom asked me to go check on my brother's car.

It was parked on the correct side of the street so I start walking back to the house. As I'm walking back I take a glance at the night sky, always a beautiful sight with the clouds illuminated by the stars and moon in my opinion. I saw something completely different though.

About 200 feet up (from what I can estimate) a yellow circle appeared. It was somewhat fuzzy and opaque. When I say appear I mean it slowly materialized, at first, transparent, then getting more solid-like.

It also seemed to be flat, so it wasn't a sphere, I don't think. From the middle of this yellow circle a small craft appeared. One moment there was just a yellow circle.

The next, the craft was there. It was circle shaped since it was against the yellow circle I couldn't make out many details other than that it was dark in color. The yellow circle then began to fade again just as it had appeared.

Growing more transparent aside from more solid. As the yellow circle was fading the small craft began lighting up. I didn't have my glasses so I can only surmise at a few lights that lit up along it.

The craft then accelerated suddenly and flew south. It made no noise to accelerate and no noise while in flight. Also, no visible means of flying (no engine exhaust, etc).

((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date is approximate. PD)).

Amber orange light moving very slowly, dimming out, shooting away. I was in my second story bedroom, when a bright light caught my eye. Our house is quite close to the local airport and is almost directly under a common flight path taken by incoming airplanes.

It is therefore extremely common to observe planes with bright, white flight lights approaching from the south. For a number of reasons, however, this was different: 1. Even indoors with the windows closed, you can always hear approaching passenger planes.

They are very loud, because they are very low. This object made no sound audible from inside the house. 2.

The path taken by planes on their approach is completely predictable (essentially, they go over our neighbor's house to the east). This went over our neighbor's house to the west. 3.

It was moving very slowly. Because it was a light in the sky, I feel it's hard to say how far up it was; it seemed like it wasn't much higher than 2 or 3 times the height of the tall, mature trees in our neighborhood. Could be wrong about the height.

Regardless, it appeared to be making the progress of a car going around 5mph (if it was as close as it appeared). 4. The light was bright amberish orange, unlike the lights of the passenger jets that pass overhead .

bright white at first and then red and blue flashing lights as they get closer. Because it looked odd, I went outside to our porch to get a better look. I found it in the sky again outside.

I could still hear no sound. Again, it seemed strange because it was moving so slowly. Its path was completely straight and it moved from roughly south to north.

I tried to film it with my cheap digital camera, but the camera was unable to pick up the small light. After a minute of observation, it had finally reached a point parallel with our house. Then, the light dimmed out completely.

As I turned to go back inside, a speck of light shot very quickly upwards from the point where the light had dimmed. This final observation, of sudden insanely fast movement, is what really spooked me. I've seen plenty of lights in the sky that have seemed odd, but I always felt that my impression could be a misinterpretation of something mundane.

This event seemed truly weird.

Rolling ball of light/fire/gas fell to earth and then took off It was a little before 2 am and I was rushing to get home before my mother went to work because I had borrowed her car. I was sober and wide awake because I was a 3rd shift worker at the time. The streets were deserted as usual for this time of morning.

I came to a stoplight at a 3 way intersection about 1 mile from my home. When I came to a stop I quickly noticed something that looked as though it was falling from the sky. I looked up to my left toward this ball of rolling light as it got closer and I was just in shock.

In seconds it “crashed” on and rolled across the hood of my car and continued to roll down onto the curb and onto the side walk where the color changed from this bright yellow color to a purple gaseous color. It was still for maybe 2 seconds and then shot straight up into the night’s sky. The light turned green and I continued to sit at the stoplight looking up, waiting to see more, but I didn’t.

It just disappeared. I probably sat there for! 4 or 5 minutes before slowly driving home. I couldn’t believe what I saw.

It was all I thought about that night. I only told one person, who thought I was crazy and from then on I kept my mouth shut about it. But I still think about it and I still watch the sky, waiting to see it again.

09-28-09 Green Bay WI, Triangle Shape Object, 3 Lights on one side, One Light on the bottom side on the other, and red light in center. On 09-28-09, my roommate and I left the apartment to quick run to the grocery store downtown Green Bay, WI. Driving down Main Street, my roommate pointed out the flying object that kept coming down from the sky closer and closer.

We quick swung into a parking lot, and I got out of the car… the UFO was approximately only 60- 80 feet up. My roommate observed the UFO closely. As well as I did, but my adrenaline was going… and I told her to draw out what exactly she saw right the second we got back home.

Around the time of 22:00, we BOTH saw a triangle shaped UFO, Three Lights on one side of the triangle, another light on the bottom of the triangle, and a red light in the center. It made no noise what so ever, and stopped in the air for about 10-15 seconds, as if it was just floating. We quickly went online after my roommate drew her sketch of the mystery we saw that night, but we knew what we saw, and we found drawings online of the SAME EXACT IDENTICAL object that we saw.

Never have I believed in UFO’s or even had an interest in UFO’s in any years of my life; I know that what I saw that night was unlike anything I’ve ever seen.

Three Bright Lights over Manitowoc Three lights that were far enough apart as to indicate three separate objects. They traveled from the SW sky heading NE. They were relatively slow and made no apparent sound.

At first I tried to rule out flying objects because they appeared to be ground generated from a larger laser light. They were bright orangish-red. A light fog was rolling in off of Lake Michigan and as they headed over the lake and got behind the fog I could still see them slightly through the fog which indicated to me that they weren't ground generated.

They flew in a straight line.

Two groups of yellow -orange lights formed a moving, silent triangle that rose into the night sky faded and disappeared On September 12,2009 at 9:05PM a series of three slow moving lights were seen in the sky over Brookfield East H.S. They made no sound.

They appeared to drift slowly in a Southerly direction. The lights were bright, somewhat yellow-orange and faded in brightness as they moved higher in the sky and then disappeared. Both myself and my husband saw the event.

We saw some students near the building and we went to ask them if they had seen the lights. They answered no; but as they were saying no, one pointed out that another group of three lights was coming up from the North at that very moment. Again there were three bright lights yellow-orange.

At first straight across. They then formed a triangle and slowly and silently moved in a delta form towards the Southwest. The lights dimmed and separated disappearing high in the sky.

There were 6 objects in all. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Three amber colored lights moving at various distances. No blinking aircraft lights or sound. I clean an accountants office in the Town of Brookfield at the corner of Capitol Drive and Lilly Road.

My son and I do the job together. I had to step outside and get some furniture polish from my van. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed some lights that appeared to be about 3 blocks south of me across the very busy Capitol Drive.

They were orange like the lights on a TV broadcast antenna. The lights were stacked vertically exactly like the safety lights on a tall antenna. I thought to myself , "I don't recall seeing an antenna there before.

" At that I turned to take another look and noticed they weren't in a vertical stack anymore, but were moving closer together and lower down toward the level of the tree tops. I called my son outside to get his opinion about what I was seeing. Just when he came out he was able to get a glimpse of them dip below the tree tops and we figured they were gone.

He went into the van and grabbed his little hand held video camera just in case they appeared again. We then noticed the lights were still visible through the trees. The lights then started to rise again.

They moved in relation to each other in a sort of triangle. After getting bright and dim a couple times they suddenly disappeared. My son's video is on YouTube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od637rz2U00 I later looked up on google maps where we saw the lights descend below the tree tops to see what was over that way because they would have had to be practically on the ground.

On google earth we found a swampy area near Brookfield Highschool that would is about 80ft lower in altitude then our observation location. So the lights could have still been above the ground but appear to us as being at ground level through the trees. I originally posted a report on Mufon.

Unfortunately I'm not a member so I can't seem to access that information which included a video. They called me back and said they thought the video was interesting but they never investigated. I thought about going from door to door in that area to see if anyone else saw the lights but I figured Mufon would do that.

When I looked up that date on Nuforc I noticed a husband and wife reported seeing the lights in the same area on the same date - same time. Their location was south of mine. If Nuforc wants to give anyone my phone number they can.

Also someone recently reported a pizza truck driver at Capitol Drive and Lilly road that witnessed something similar on September 5 2010.

Flaming stationary object over Shorewood Wisconsin I witnessed a flaming red camp fire in the sky that burned in a stationary fashion for a few minutes. From a distance I thought it was an aircraft warning light on the top of a 10 story apartment building but the closer that I got to it I realized that it wasn't. After a few minutes of watching it the fire dissapated, flaring up a couple of times in this process lasting 1 minute or so.

What was left was a blood red colored, star sized circle which was significantly smaller than when it was aflame. It proceeded to move in a controlled fashion to the north and east at a level altitude beyond my view.

Very bright light over northern Wisconsin My cousin's and i were outside working on a three wheeler. My youngest cousin noticed something in the sky and pointed it out to us. I looked up at what appeared to be a really bright white light.

I thought it was a satellite at first, but noticed it was way to big to be a satellite. The object was approximately three or four time's bigger than the brightest star i could see in the sky and was traveling at a very high rate of speed. Almost like a shooting star.

The bright light slowed way down and almost came to a stand still. It didn't completely stop but it didn't move very fast either. By this time we were for yelling for my friend to come outside and witness what we were seeing.

He came outside looked at it and couldn't figure out what it was either. He said the same thing i did, that it was to big to be a satellite. It stayed at this slow speed for about thirty to fourty seconds before it changed direction and took of at an even faster rate of speed fr! om when we first saw it.

The object vanished from our field of view behind of the tree line. My younger cousin told me that he's seen three of these same bright light's the past week. I've only witnessed this one sighting.

I've also checked the heaven's above website just in case it was the ISS. The ISS was nowhere near anybody of land. Even if it was, i don't think it could have maneuvered the same way this object did.

The ISS Was also moving in the opposite direction.

2 very bright objects in formation My son and I witnessed a formation of 2 very bright, circular objects coming from the west and heading east. They traveled at a steady speed and were completely silent. One followed the other at a perfect distance never straying.

We watched them until they disappeared over the bluffs. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)) ((NUFORC Note: Possible sighting of ISS and Shuttle.

two synchronized lights moving slowing across the sky in a line formation two bright white lights separated by about half a mile moved slowly across the sky. The two lights were synchronized suggesting structure. Not planes or satellites.

too low in sky, slow moving, no sound and completely in tandem.
