Details of Incident:
My friend ((name deleted)) and I were getting out of my car when I noticed a silver ball in the sky. I
pointed it out and said "What the hell is that?" ((name deleted)) said he had no idea, then it abruptly
vanished.
It was about a mile in the distance, judging by familiar landmarks. It was, guessing for distance and
altitude, about fifty feet in diameter, spherical, silver, and NOT a weather balloon. It moved rapidly
about one mile in a couple of seconds, parallel to the ground, then stopped. Then it was gone, no
explosion, no descent or ascent, just gone. Thats about the extent of it. Not very exciting, just odd.
However, in 1970 in Eau Claire, WI, My sister and a friend were walking to my parents house from her
friends house. The walk, at a leisurely pace, takes about twenty minutes. My sister noticed a large
brightly lit saucer in the sky, as did her friend. They observed it for a couple minutes, then got scared
and hurried home, running most of the way. Upon arriving home, my sister was grounded for being 2 1/2
hours late. She said that she couldn't be late, she ran home and it only took her about ten minutes. My
mother didn't believe her, so the grounding stuck. For the following 15 years, my sister was afflicted
with strange buzzing sounds in her head. She also remembers that when they started to run, the saucer was
no longer there. Deputy Sheriffs in Eau Claire County observed a similar object over a hill near my
parents about a month prior to that, but that one was a couple hundred yards in diameter. It scorched the
tops of the trees on the hill, which was observable for about ten years after. I remember the trees being
burned, as I grew up with the hill visible outside my bedroom window, about a half mile away. I was
born about 9 months after these events took place.
