The report, as filed
The primary witness and his wife were in a boat on their lake. Their 9 year old son had fallen from his ski close to the shore, and as they were picking up the ski they had to stop the boat. The witness looked up in the clear blue sky to the right over the tree line and saw a white round object traveling from right to left (E-W) at a high rate of speed. The object was traveling faster than anything he had ever seen and couldn't have been visible over a minute or two. It travelled the entire length of the sky and then disappeared. They had seen airplanes in the sky prior to and just after this incident, but nothing was travelling anywhere near the speed this was. He had pointed to the object in the air and his son said that he saw the same thing. As his wife looked up she HAD also saw the object as well. The object probably had been at about 10,000' and about a mile out. 1-2 mins

The sky had been clear in this rural area, and the man and his son were walking to the barn when his son saw the object first and asked him what it was. It was at about a 40-degree angle up in the southwest. He pointed at it and they both stood and watched it for 2-3 minutes. When the man then looked down at his son to tell him he didn't know what it was, then back up, the object was gone. The object had been high in the sky, somewhere between 5-10,000 feet, range 1-2 miles, and was stationary. It appeared to be 20-40 feet long, possibly longer, cylinder/cigar-shaped, clearly outlined and silver/chrome reflective.
