Light over Belgium, WI

The report, as filed

Sighting: Belgium, Wisconsin 12/12/22 at 6:45pm My son, 13 years old, and myself, both with a clean bill of physical and mental health witnessed a phenomenon. We left our home in the Country driving west (near Lake Michigan) while it was dark. I suddenly noticed unexplainable bluish/white lights in the sky. They were zigzagging around the sky at speeds that made them appear 100 ft away to 100 miles away in milliseconds. The hair on my neck stood and I had goosebumps! I said to my son, “Please tell me you are seeing this too?” , “Please tell me I’m not crazy.”, he replied, “Oh my god, what’s going on?”, “They are following us!” We both starred, seeing 7 in total. They followed along side the car at times and at one time flew from behind and over the car. At this time I actually grabbed a hold of my son’s coat and just felt I needed to hold onto him. I’m was truly scared as it felt like we were surrounded. It was as though they were playing with us. At times they came together almost appearing to dance- choreographed- they’d swirl together and then disburse across the sky. At one time they all came together and then faded. Then 3 or 4 would be aside or in front of us again. We were both freaking out with disbelief at what we were seeing. We could also (at times- when they were further away) see beams going down to the earth from the lights (they could have been anywhere from 50 to 100 ft off the ground over the fields). While moving together at a distance they looked like little lights (tinker bells). When closer they looked like bluish flying clouds around a cylinder. My son tried to record the event, however, to further our astonishment at what was happening, they wouldn’t show on the video or camera. As though you look in a mirror and see no reflection. As we exited the Country roads and neared town, they disappeared. We did not see anything further on our way home. We can’t explain what we saw. It was truly amazing and I believe unearthly. Terrifying and beautiful at the same time.
