Oval over Mukwonago, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was walking my dog at 10:15 at night watching the sky as I always do there were a few fireworks going off in the distance when out of no where a bright yellowish red light appeared like a switch was turned on, I thought is was a firework until it started moving slowly to the northeast. I ran back to the apartment to get my son and the astronomy binoculars from viewing it with only my eyesight all you could see was a pulsating red light. He got the light in focus and all he could say was all my God. The red light he said was moving back and forth inside of a grey and oval silhouette that was 20 times the size of the red light and what ever side the red light would move so did this huge grey silhouette. After 30 seconds of the light moving towards us at approximately 2 or 3 thousand feet up it rapidly ascended at a great rate of speed straight up while slowly dimming the it was gone.We have seen allot of lights and unexplained things in the sky but this was the strangest we have EVER seen. This happened directly over the center of Mukwonago many people had to see this if not the whole town is blind.. WOW!!!!

Once again I step outside on my deck to check the night sky, and directly above me, at an altitude of approximately 20 to 30 thousand feet, is a very bright clear in color moving silently and slowly towards the east. After 5 minutes of never taking my eyes of the object it slowly started to fade out then it turned the brightest red I have ever seen the was gone. It was a though the object knew it was nearing Mitchel Field Airport in Milwaukee; the trajectory it was moving would have put it directly in its path. I have been watching this same light for the entire month of August and have seen it nightly starting way north of me to now directly over head it seems to be slowing moving south as it ALWAYS IS MOVING EAST. This accrued at 8:45 pm. Then today looking up to the sky on a partly cloudy morning way up in the sky WAY UP I saw 3 triangular shaped craft flying in a triangle at a great speed heading south no noise, no bird no plane no balloons they most defiantly were UFOs absolutely. They were at a height of if you held your thumb up out in front of you, it would have coverd them up. They held a very tight formation, until flying out of my view. This was at 11:30

I was watching the night sky like I always do when I noticed a what I thought at first to be a star in the southern sky but realized that there should not be anything in that position. The brightness of this light was that of Venus it was really bright. After watching this light for about 5 minutes it slowly, slowly started to move I first thought it was moving in my direction but no it was ascending slowly. It continued to move straight up steadily and after about 30 seconds it started to slowly and I mean slowly fade then it was gone. One of the strange things about this was the fact that almost exactly a year ago I saw a light in almost the identical area but that time the light slowly slowly descended then faded out It was no meteor or plane this time or last there is something happening in that direction all the time. I ask every one to keep looking up there is a lot to see that can not be explained but it can be reported.

My son and i were traveling south on hwy 43, 2 miles from the Mukwonago exit, when just to the south of us, and almost directly over us, appeared the most brilliant deep red solid light was traveling east. We pulled over on the freeway in amazement at how close and ever so slowly the object was moving it was approximately 3 or 4 thousand feet high. It was moving at such a slow pace if it was any slower it would have been stationary, as it moved farther away it blinked 3 time and was gone. When the object disappeared once again there was a plane that would have been directly in front of it on the course it was traveling. This was not a plane, a light in a bag, or firework we have seen the identical light 2 month prior my son has a great picture, which we will be sending to Mr. Davenport. Everyone traveling south on the freeway had had to see it. AMAZING!!!

It was about 8:20 at night. It was a clear drive home on highway 43 south. Right before the ramp to Mukwonago a very dark red light appeared mid sky. It looked the exact same color as other reddish ufo's ive seen in the past. It was traveling quite fast but it was only about 2,000 FT in the sky. It just kept coming for about 2-3 minutes without any interruptions! Then, of course, came the part when the object disappears. And what is the reason for this? There is usually a quite logical explanation. The craft does not want to be seen. As above with this theory, came an airplane coming out of Mitchel Field Milwaukee. This airplane was coming at the object at a fairly good distance but a general area. The craft immideatley started flickering in and out and of course like all reports the object disappeared. Was this the end of the night? No. Awkwardly, came a bright white light looking like the spotlight of the front of an airplane at night just like it. It was also in the flight path from the area. Right when my father pointed this object out and looked at it for about 10 seconds it just sat there; it was moving before he told me to look at this "thing." What it took for this object to disappear is nothing but telling me to look. This happens also quite frequently in looking at these objects. Once one or more people see it it tends to know and disappear out of thin air. This all happened in a time frame of about 5 minutes pulled over on Highway 43. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded quite sincere and sober-minded to us. PD
