Circle over Mosinee, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was standing at a boat landing watching eagles soar, so my eyes were on the sky. Movement caught my eye. When I focused on it, I saw 3 spherical objects. They looked exactly like a bubble blown by a child, but they were clearly very high in the sky. Higher than the eagles. They flew at a steady rate in a triangular formation, one in the lead and two slightly behind on either side. They looked transparent but shiny. I watched them until their transparency made it impossible to find them any longer.

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

I’ve seen these fairly regularly (once a month with me skywatching 30 min a day) but only one I’ve been able to catch on camera. Noise in video is from nearby highway. I’m ex military and live by an airport, so very familiar with different types of aircraft

Was driving home and exited off from USH 51 to HWY 34 south. Straight in front of me in the sky was what looked like an orange ball of fire, I pulled over, it changed into 3 or 4 whites lights for a second or two and then disappeared in a matter of a second or two.

My friend and I were doing some night fishing with his 7-year-old stepson at Bean’s Eddy in Mosinee Wi and had been doing fairly well with catching fish until this… thing showed up. Bean’s Eddy is a heavily wooded area on the Wisconsin River so animal activity is very prevalent but once this thing showed up everything went eerily silent, no bugs, no small animals, and fish activity went completely south, even the coyotes went quiet for hours. It was a clear night, not a cloud in the sky, we could clearly see the planes coming in to land at the nearby Central WI airport, and in fact there were planes in the sky when this thing showed up (though none near it), so we could tell the differences and see size references. I have seen other things but nothing close enough to say, “Hey, that’s not a plane!” This was different…. First off no noise, there was no sound whatsoever, and considering how close it was and that we could hear the jetliners coming into the airport we should have, if there was any noise made. Second, I could see the shape of this thing, it looked almost organic, eight lighted panels grading in color from dark orange to a bright yellowish white and a body that was silvery black, kind of like a black chrome.. Last and most disturbing was that it just showed up, it didn’t glide in, it was just there, hovering in place for several minutes, then, when it started moving it moved from above us to the horizon line in less than thirty seconds. I drew a picture of it just to get it out of my head…. it looks like nothing I have ever seen.

I was driving south on U.S. Hwy 51 and I saw a craft that didn't move for 5 or more minutes. The craft also made no noise.
