I'd like to start by saying that this UFO sighting was the most spectacular one I've ever seen, and one of the biggest ones I've ever even heard of. I'll post some of the details of what I saw here, below mine are additional eyewitness reports.

Here's my summary:

We were all located just outside Benson's Hideaway looking south over Long Lake. The night's sightings started with three orange craft that appeared over the horizon almost in front of us and traveled over the treetops to our left. One of the objects flashed three bright pulses of white light, almost as if it was signaling to us, and all three of them seemed to be dropping smaller lights at times. The objects didn't come up over the treetops to appear. They just appeared in the sky, all in the same place, and eventually "blinked out" at the end of their route.

After those objects, another object appeared and moved to our right. This object had three spheres of dim white light. The spheres appeared to be connected together - two smaller spheres and one larger one. The smaller objects had small green/blue lights in them and the large object had a small orange/yellow light in it. The small colored lights were on the surface of the spheres. These objects appeared at about 10:05 pm, and stayed together for about 15 minutes. Suddenly, there was a loud pop like a firecracker and the spheres broke apart. The large object with the orange/yellow light broke in two and fell straight toward the ground. One of the smaller objects shot off to the right in a straight line until it eventually disappeared. The other smaller object stayed in position, and after the other two disappeared, it continued to move in a small pattern in the same spot. It was still there at 2:30 am when the last witness left.

Like I said, we did get very clear video of the whole thing, and many of the witnesses took photos. As soon as we get all that information together, I'll be posting it here. If anyone who was there has a personal report of what they saw that they'd like to share, we would be glad to post that here right away, so please fill out a Report Form.

Well my wife Jennifer and I spent the day at Dundee, WI at Bill Benson's Hideaway, which is the ufo headquarters in that area.

Ufo daze kicked off at noon and and there were various speakers from various groups from around the area. We had a good time with all these people who had similar interests.

But the highlight of ufo daze was the night watching for ufo's. Let me tell you that WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED. We had a very spectacular show put on by the UFO's.

We had four craft perform for our entertainment and for those that didn't believe or never had seen a ufo before: NO ONE LEFT DISAPPOINTED.

The first craft appeared around 10pm cdt. It was a red light with some white in there somewhere. It traveled south to north, which it seem to travel very rapidly. At several points along it's route it would start to flash in a very intense white light. The second and third craft also did the same thing in the same flight path.

After the first three vanished to the north I don't think that there was anyone there willing to move from that area. We searched the sky looking for more.

To our delight a fourth craft emerged from the night sky. It traveled from east to west at a slow rate. It appeared to be made up of three lights, Two blue/green balls rotating around a red/orange ball. As we watched this craft it seemed that the two blue/green lights rotated around the red/orange light. as we watch this dance of lights in the sky the craft seemed to separate into three individual lights one blue/green light staying stationary the red/orange to seem to drop straight down and the blue/green shot off to the north at high speed.

As we watched the stationary light for over one hour. It bobbed up and down and moved side to side. The light even seemed to bounce at times.

We left at 11-11:30 pm and that light was still there.

Dundee Sightings

It is July 21, 2001, the place was at Benson's Hide-A-Way in Dundee, Wisconsin. We were all there for UFO Daze which started about noon with some people telling their stories about UFO Contacts. About 9:40 at night I went to the water edge and sit down to watch the sky for any strange activity.

Everyone was talking most watching the southern end of Long Lake for anything that looked out of the ordinary. All of a sudden a Light came from the south end of the lake right next to Dundee Mountain. It was about the size of a quarter held at arms length. It almost looked like it was lower than Dundee Mountain and just a little higher than the trees on the ground. The light was a golden color and had golden lights shooting out from the edges. As it moved along the Eastern Shore of the lake it made little jumps almost straight up in the air and then it continued on its original path again. It even made a few dips toward the treetops. The light continued to the north end of the lake where we were, at this point someone yelled, there’s another one.

And there it was, looking just like the first one, all golden color. It came north along the western edge of the lake and it too, shot up almost straight in the air a couple of times. This one did something different though. It blew up to a white light, which was much bigger, that the golden light. It did this at least four times, that I can remember. After it did this it dropped two lights from the bottom of it. I don’t know what this was but it looked like the sparkles that drop from sparklers the children have at the 4th of July celebrations.

As it was almost directly across from us I looked at the first light and it had moved northwest and off toward Fond du Lac and was now just a light in the sky about the size of a pea held at arms length. Then all of sudden it was not there, it almost looked as if the light went out, but I believe that it left the atmosphere so fast that it only looked as if the light went out.

As I turned back to the second golden light my eyes caught the sight of a third golden light coming from the same area as the first two. It was coming towards us slowly, moving up and down just a little. When it got about half way down the lake the second one started to move off and then they stayed about the same approximate distance apart and moved off.

We all milled around talking about what we had seen, some of the people left because they felt the show was over but it was not. All of a sudden what seemed only a few minutes latter another light appeared at the southwestern end of Long Lake. It came almost the length of the lake over the water. This light was either much smaller or it was much higher in the sky because it was the size of the head of a cap off from a ballpoint pen. As it got closer to us it turned west and settled almost stationary west and south of us in the sky. It stayed there for a long time. It seemed to become three separate lights one bluish green, one orange red and the other white. They seemed to be playing tag, running circles around each other and zig zagging with each other.

Then there was a slight popping sound and two lights dropped from the underside of the center light. One of the lights took off in a north west direction and was out of sight within a minute or two. The greenish blue light stayed in the area and was still there when I left at about 12:30 A.M. When I talked to people the next day they said the light was still there at 2:00 A.M.

There were no clouds in the sky, the stars were out and it was a warm night. Other than the slight popping sound when they broke apart, all four crafts had no sound to them.

This is my recollection of the events of July 21, 2001.

Location: Benson's Hideaway on the northwestern shoreline of Long Lake near Dundee, Wisconsin.
Time: From dusk until midnight on the evening of July 21, 2001
Witness: A white male 55yearss old.

I am dividing the report into four segments for reasons which will soon be obvious.

First light

While standing in the back yard of Benson's Hideaway I observed a yellowish ball of light above a large hill known as Dundee Mt. near the southeastern end of the lake. When the light was about an inch above the hilltop it pulsed approximately five times. When it pulsed the size increased from that of pencil eraser to the size of a half dollar held at arms length.

Question: Was the light drawing attention to itself by pulsing that often?

The light then came toward us but appeared to remain over the eastern shore. When it reached its closest approach to where the group of about thirty people and I stood watching, a small "ember-like" light dropped down followed a few seconds later by a small cluster of about six more. These small lights quickly became dim and disappeared before getting to the ground.

The light past by our location and continued toward the north-northwest going over open fields and woods in the area. As the light got smaller I turned to face the hill again and talk with those near me about what it was. Playing the skeptic I said, "It was an ultralight." They replied, "No way, you didn't hear a motor."

I do not wear a watch but would estimate this took about fifteen minutes.

There was a drunk hollering and making a ruckus about how gullible we all were as he left the area.

Question: Was the young man who heckled us part of a group of hoaxers?

Second light

Almost immediately a second yellowish light came over Dundee Mt. and followed the same general path the first light did over the eastern shore. This light remained the same intensity as it passed by to the east of us. Since I do not know how high the light was I can only estimate about a mile away when it pulsed just once before returning to its original size and continuing on.

Question: Was the pulse of light a goodbye wave to us or a signal of encouragement to the next light?

Duration of this sighting about fifteen minutes.

At this point I remember having two pair of field glasses in my vehicle which I then get and give one pair to a friend.

I do not recall precisely when it was during the passage of this light, but someone on the eastern side of the lake started to shine a very bright spot light up into the sky. They shined the light about twenty seconds on two occasions.

Third light

Looking once again toward Dundee Mt. I noticed another yellowish colored light, the same size and intensity as the first two, following in their path over the eastern shore of Long Lake. As it approached someone to my left said she could see smaller lights in front of the larger one and they're all the same color. Since the adjusting ring on my binoculars chose that moment to become hard to adjust I got only a brief glimpse of what appeared to be three smaller lights in front of the main light. I then watched it go past without field glasses.

Duration of sighting was about fifteen minutes.

The spotlight was on I believe two or three times for about ten seconds each.

Fourth light

I was looking toward the hill when someone said, "There's another one above the lake." and pointed to an area more toward the center of the lake. Looking with my field glasses I saw a yellowish light with two small bluish lights dancing around it erratically. All three lights had what appeared to be a halo or ionized gas above them that made contact with the upper most one sixth of the light. This halo or bubble was twice as high as whichever light it was attached to.

Question: What was this halo or bubble above each light?

At times the blue lights appeared to be orbiting it or both would be side by side below it or stacked one above the other on top of it or both on the same side or on opposite sides. I could not discern a pattern to the motion of the blue lights other than to say completely random, like a balloon in front of a fan.

This light and its two attendant smaller lights stayed to the south of our viewing position. When it started to become obscured by the trees on the western shore I backed up so I could continue watching it. Since the adjusting ring on my field glasses jammed again I was looking down when I heard the crowd say, "Oh." I looked up and saw the large yellowish light had split into two large pieces and was dropping down.

Question: Was the breakup of the larger yellowish light a signal for us to breakup our restrictive thought patterns?

Question: Was the breakup of the larger light a dramatic statement to refute claims of a hoax?

Question: Was the split into two pieces of the larger light a gentle conditioning for skeptics who witnessed it?

At that instant one of the bluish lights shot toward the east, the direction from which it came. The second bluish light slowly continued toward the west. Looking at it through the other pair of field glasses a bouncing motion, up and down, was observed and an ever so slight sideways sway. In order to see the movement with the naked eye you had to place tree branches or a power pole next to it.

Duration of the light until it broke into two pieces about ten minutes.

Duration of the single bluish light that moved toward the west half and hour.

Spot light I recall only once very briefly. This could have been due to my not looking in the direction the spotlight was.

Sighting ended when we left to go to our campsite.

Peculiarities and observations

The total lack of any military aircraft in the area to investigate whatever was in the sky during the two hours the event took.
Was it seen on radar, civilian or military?
Was it a light source, whatever that is?
Was the whole event a non-threatening close encounter of the second kind?
What part did the thoughts of the witnesses have in how the events unfolded?
Absence of all sound from the objects sighted.
Total lack of any feelings of fear or awe.

It was approximately 10:00 pm. on Saturday, July 21, 2001. I was standing about 10 ft. from the shore line on the west side of Long Lake. I was at Benson's Hide-a-Way just outside of Dundee, WI. I was facing the south east when suddenly an amber colored ball appeared just above the tree line in the south west corner of the lake. The ball was about the size of my thumb nail, round, when held at arms length. The amber ball flew directly towards the 40 to 50 people gathered there to sky watch, Before it reached us it curved and traveled from the south to the north, following the length of the lake above the east side of the lake. I was looking through binoculars and the ufo flashed a beautiful goldish white light from the center of the bottom of the craft. It was at this time I realized the craft was no longer amber. It had tilted to show it's underneath side and I could see that it was round in shape and had a row of circular white lights all the way around the outside edge on the bottom of the craft. The circular center appeared to be a goldish white light and this is the area that flashed brightly about 3 to 4 times before it flew out of sight. When this craft flashed it's center light the second time goldish white sparks, much like a 4th of July sparkler, shot down from underneath the craft for just a few seconds. I watched the craft until it was out of sight.

I turned once again to the south east and immediately a second amber ball appeared in the same area. The second craft followed the same path as the first except it flew slightly more west of the lake as it reached the northern end of the lake. I noticed this craft also went from amber to white and was identical in description to the first. this second craft did not flash it's center light as the first one did. It was at this point that I realized that the craft was about the circumference of the length of my outstretched hand at arms length. I watched this craft until it was no longer visible.

I once again, turned back to the south west just as the third amber light appeared in the same area. It was identical to the first two in color, size and shape. this craft appeared amber at first and then white as it flew over head and headed from the south east to the north western sky. This third ufo flashed it's bright center light 3 to 4 times as the first ufo did. I could see the underneath of all three crafts very clearly with the binoculars. I watched until this craft disappeared from sight.

For a fourth time I turned back to the south west but I had to wait for about a minute before a fourth amber light appeared. This light appeared on the south western side of the lake and flew toward us. Before reaching us it turned west and hovered in one area. Once again I could see that it had exposed it's underneath side. I saw a circle of white lights around the out side but the center circle appeared to be pinkish orange.... some times more pink than orange and other times more orange than pink. The center bi colored light appeared to move and change much like undulating colored smoke or mist. There were greenish blue lights about the size of a pencil head that seemed to be buzzing around like bees underneath the craft. These were a luminous greenish blue and they made fast and erratic movements which seemed to leave color patters that looked fluorescent... some in intertwined figure eights and other double circular patterns that pulled away from the bottom of the craft. I was watching intently through binoculars when suddenly I heard a muffled popping sound. It was at this time that the larger craft disappeared. I did not see the craft fall to earth. It wa simply gone. One greenish blue light moved south and the second moved north while greenish blue sparks shot downwards. I watched the area where the craft had been and could not see it. I noticed that the greenish blue that went south stopped and hovered in the southern sky close to the spot where the ship had been. I turned and watched the greenish blue light that was traveling north until it was out of sight. I turned back south and for the next half hour I watched the greenish blue light in the south bob around and hover in the sky. At this time I left with my companions for the campgrounds we were staying at for the week end. It was approximately 12:30 am. The greenish blue light was still in the southern sky when we left.

I had a fifth sighting that night. After we went back to our campgrounds we sat around a campfire for awhile. No one could sleep as we were to excited about our sightings. It was an extremely hot and humid night without a breeze. Five of us could not sleep when the others turned in for the night so we took our reclining lawn chairs out behind the tents to face the open field facing west to sky watch and visit. We had a panoramic view of the night time star studded sky. We decided to walk up the hill to the west to the campground restrooms at about 3:00 am. We were about half way down the hill when we stopped to sky gaze. Four of us were facing east and one girl was facing west. Suddenly she pointed and said, " oh, oh, oh." We spun around to see two white lights that appeared larger than the stars. They looked to be following each other traveling from south to north. The white lights were spaced about my hands length apart and moving slowly. It was difficult to tell if these lights were two separate ships or lights on the end of a cylinder or oblong object. When they got past us and more north the lights changed position and were now side by side heading north and slightly east. They were the same distance apart but at times they appeared to drift closer together and then apart again. This could have been a trick the eye played on us but several people among us mentioned the weaving and drifting motion of the two lights. I could not make out any shape other than two round white lights. We watched them until they flew out of sight, walked back to our tents and went to bed.

UFO sighting located at Dundee, WI

Approximately 10:00 p.m. July 21, 2001 This is the most spectacular sighting I have personally witnessed to date. There were approximately fifty (50) people all gathered together standing on the northwest shoreline of Long Lake outside of Benson's Hideaway. Most everyone was looking towards the south shoreline watchingchng. This crowd of people had attended the day's events called UFO Daze at Dundee, Wisconsin. UFO Daze is an annual event where like minded people gather to discuss their favorite topic, UFOs.

The sighting started with three (3) amber colored lights that appeared one at a time over the tree line in a southeast direction. The first one just appeared, it first appeared as an amber colored light which flashed bright white light approximately three (3) times, it then turned amber in color again. It appeared as an amber light to me without binoculars however, with binoculars I could make out a dome shaped top. The amber colored object proceeded in a northerly direction above the tree line along the eastern shore of Long Lake. Along it's route it dropped smaller light's from it's bottom. The smaller lights appeared goldish white in color as a spark from a sparkler for a 4th of July celebration. At the end of it's route it got smaller and blinked out.

After the first amber colored light disappeared another one just like it appeared in the same location. It followed the same route along the eastern shoreline of Long Lake and it also blinked out at the end of its route.

After the second amber colored light yet a third one appeared in the southwest and followed the same route along the eastern shoreline of Long Lake. It also blinked out at the end of its route.

After these three (3) lights appeared a sphere or orb shaped object appeared in the southwest above the tree line. This object had one larger amber sphere and two smaller green/blue sphere shaped objects. The smaller green/blue spheres danced all around the outer surface of the larger amber object. These three spheres stayed together for awhile, until a popping noise was heard. At the time of the popping noise I was looking into the screen of a video recorder that was recording the sighting. As I was watching the object in the screen of the video recorder I heard the crowd scream. I then looked up after that to see that the three objects had split up. Two amber gold lights fell towards the ground and one of the green/blue spheres shot off to north until it eventually disappeared. The other smaller green/blue sphere remained in position after the other ones disappeared. While it remained there it seemed to bob up and down and weave side to side slightly. The last report I heard was that it was still in position at 2:00 a.m. after the last witness left.

I did witness a fifth UFO that same evening with four (4) other people. We were all so excited from the evening's previous sightings that none of us could sleep. We set up our camp chairs and sat and watched out over the western sky into a star lit sky. After sitting there for quite awhile we all decided to walk up the hill together to the camp ground rest rooms. After we all visited the rest rooms we stopped about half way back down the hill. We stood there together to watch the night sky one more time before retiring for the evening. Four (4) of us were facing east and one (1) was facing west. All of a sudden four (4) of us heard ooh, ooh, ooh. Needless to say we all turned quickly around. At that time I saw two (2) white lights. They appeared to be following each other and were traveling together from south to north. As they traveled together they were very synchronized in their movement. There almost appeared to be a faint line outlining an oblong shaped craft but it was difficult to tell whether they were two (2) separate lights or one (1) light on each end of an oblong shape.

When these two (2) lights got further north they changed position from being side by side to being more diagonally positioned from each other. At times they appeared to change position by drifting closer together. These two (2) lights continued in a northeast direction until they disappeared out of sight.

The following is the narrative text portion of our report submitted to National UFO Reporting Center.

OBJECT 1: Bright circular amber lighapproximatelytley a quarter the size of a pencil tip eraser held at arm's length - appeared in south-southeast and tracked northward across our eastern field of view, about 45 degrees elevation, then disappeared in north-northeast. There were no other lights surrounding the object; there were CLEARLY no standard regulation aircraft beacons, strobes, or wingtip red/green lights, and the object madediscernibleable sound. If an aircraft, it was certainly not an ordinary one.

OBJECT 2: Approx 1 minute after disappearance of object 1, same type amber light appeared in same location and began same northward track. Approximately thirty seconds after appearing, object flashed very brightly white -- looking similar to a very bright set of aircraft landlightsigts -- approximately a half dozen times in rapid succession -- then continued on same original course. When object was to our east-northeast, a tiny deep red point of light appeared below the object and proceeded downward to disappear in the treetops below. Some comments were that it looked like someone dropping a flare.

OBJECT 3: After object 2 had "dropped its flare" and was tracking off to the northeast, another amber light of the same type appeared in the north. It too performed the same flashing of bright white lights. And, it also "dropped flares" -- three times -- before disappearing in the southeast.

OBJECT 4: Four to five minutes after the disappearance of object 3, as the crowd was abuzz with discussion of that we had seen, one more amber light -- this one somewhat dimmer that the first three -- appeared in the south-southwest. This one had an additional feature the others had lacked; two blue-green pinpoint lights which appeared to be circling the amber light. The entire complex slowly tracked westward toward the tree line, while seeming to bounce and weave in an unpredictable manner. The complex eventually disappeared into the trees, then reappeared on other side of trees several minutes later, still bouncing and weaving. This persisted for several more minutes until a muffled "popping" sound was heard, the amber light disappeared, another deep red point light dropped toward the ground, and one of the blue-green point lights rapidly accelerated off to the northwest and disappeared. The remaining blue-green point light remained in the same general location, bouncing and weaving back and forth within the space of a few degrees of arc, for another 90 minutes or so, at which time the reporter departed the scene for the evening.

notes: This was reporter's first ever personal sighting of a UFO. Report is based on naked eye observation only -- had no binoculars or camera.

A report of U.F.O. Sightings in Fond Du Lac County, Wisconsin

On Saturday, July 21, 2001, a large group of people met at Bill Benson's U.F.O. Daze. This is held every year on the third Saturday of July. In the evening, many people sat outside to spot UFOs. We were looking south at Dundee Mountain, when about 9:30 P.M. we had our first sighting. A UFO appeared by Dundee Mountain and flew north to our left in the sky. In a short time two more came from Dundee Mountain flying north and to our left. As some appeared, they would be a very large white light, then pulse, change color, shrink to a smaller round ball and travel north.

Suddenly, a fourth one appeared with many different colored lights and went north, but to the right of us. As it left Dundee Mountain, it was visible behind a tree line, where it stopped a few minutes, then moved slowly a short distance and traveled at a high rate of speed to the north.

My husband and I were observing the night sky with friends at the Long Lake Recreational Area. At about 10:35 pm, I spotted a large orange sphere on the south end of the lake heading north-northwest. The orange sphere had a hazy glow around it. There were also two bright greenish spheres moving wildy around the orange sphere. Note, I could see this clearly without optical aid. When I used my husband's binoculars, each bright greenish spheres looked like tiny v- shaped objects when they appeared in front of the orange sphere. When the bright greenish objects moved wildly on the sides and top of the orange sphere, they appeared to be spherical. I continued to watch with and without binoculars. There was a bright flash and the orange sphere split into 2. The bottom half appeared to have dropped to the ground and the top half disappeared. One green sphere headed to the north at a fast rate of speed and the other green sphere stayed in the general vicinity of where the orange sphere had been and seemed to move wildly around that area. I continued to watch the green sphere until 11:15 pm. The mosquitos were getting too bad for me so I went to the car. My husband stayed to watch it for a longer period of time.

My wife and I and at least 50 witnesses were out at Long Lake Recreational Area outside near the north end of Long Lake (located east of Fond du Lac County). At approximately 10:05 p.m., a series of very unusual events began occurring and continued late into the early morning hours. At 10:05 p.m., we were looking south and could plainly see the planet Mars off the southern horizon. Slightly east of this location, a large bright amber colored light rose straight up from behind a forest of trees in the distance. The object went up approximately 25 degrees off the horizon and moved in a northerly direction at about the speed of a fast moving airplane. As it was removing, it seemed to drop round orbs of amber colored lights. It continued and disappeared in the northern horizon. As it disappeared, a second object reappeared exactly as before and followed the exact path as the first object. This object also headed north and seemed to stop before the northern horizon. At this point, a third object rose again at the same exact starting point as the other two. It rose up and became extremely bright white and accelerated in a northerly direction in the same path as the previous two. Along its path several times, it seemed to flare up bright and dim and several times it seemed to drop amber balls of light. As it approached close to the second light, the second light blinked out and the third light continued northerly and finally blinked out. This series of events started at 10:05 to 10:20 pm. At this point, everything seemed to calm down. At this point, we were excited but some of us felt these 3 events could perhaps be described as airplanes or pyrotechnic devices, therefore, no one seemed to draw irrational conclusions. This was only the beginning of several strange events that were to follow. At approximately 10:35 pm, a 4th amber ball of light rose from the general location as the previous three. At this time, the fourth light however headed westerly instead of northerly and seemed to hover approximately 30 degrees off the southern horizon and was blocked by trees approximately the first 20 degrees. Now the object after it headed west seemed to head north directly toward us and became quite large, approximately the size of a small finger fingernail at arm's length. At this time, became extremely white bright and then extradionary the orange's object seemed to have a definite halo or fog around it. Outside of this halo were two distinct bright greenish-blue tiny orbs that continued to circle and rotate wildly around the object. At times, the two greenish-blue orbs would seem to stop directly in front of the object and at times, they would stop and change direction wildly. Other times, they would circle around the top or bottom or around the side of it. This wild movement continued for approximately 35 minutes and was seen by at least 50 witnesses, some had video cameras and still cameras. After approximately 35 minutes, a major event occurred. At this time, the large amber object seemed to split into two. One piece shot directly down towards the ground and was covered by the trees. The second piece seemed to disappear. At this time, one of the intense greenish blue orbs "shot" directly up and northward at an extremely high rate of speed covering the sky from where it had been to the northern horizon in perhaps 8 seconds. The other greenish-blue orb continued to stay in the general area above where the amber orb seemed to have descended or crashed to earth. The time now was approximately 11:15 pm. The one remaining greenish-blue orb continued to move wildly up and down, side to side doing circles and loops but stayed in the general close area. The single orb continued to move wildly into the early morning hours. Unfortunately, I left for home approximately 12 midnight and drove home. Several friends of mine stayed until 1:30 am and the object was still there and doing its wild dance. I don't know how long this continued because most people left near or at this time. During all these events, I had a 35mm camera equipped with a 450 mm lens mounted on a heavy duty tripod and was using 1600 ISO rated color print film. While looking through the view finder and centering the object in the microprism, I could clearly see the object move wildly and I know my camera wasn't moving nor was I. I shot approximately 30 shots of film during both major events, the first three and the fourth. Also, I used a 10x50 BAK4 optics glass binoculars meant for astromonical use and viewed the object. Clearly, I could see what appeared to be an envelope of haze or fog that surrounded the amber light. The two greenish-blue lights appeared clearly and extremely bright and very distinct with no haze whatsoever surrounding them. The greenish-blue orbs reminded me of what appeared to be bees flying around the object in a nonrestrictive orbit, changing directions and paths many times. ((NUFORC Note: Several reports.

Two New UFO Reports From Wisconsin
From Peter B. Davenport

Director National UFO Reporting Center
7-23-1

Jeff,

I have received two more cases, both from Wisconsin, that are mildly reminiscent of the Carteret, NJ, case a week ago. I have copied below reports from one of the incidents, and I expect to be able to talk to the witnesses from the other sometime tomorrow.

At least two of the witnesses from Dundee, WI, are willing to make an appearance on radio, if you would be interested in doing that sometime this week. I copy their reports below, plus the report of one of the other approximately 50 witnesses. The objects they witnessed Saturday night streaked through 160 degrees of arc across the sky in approximately 3-5 seconds, they report.

The other case, also from Wisconsin, involves an estimated 9 yellow lights over Clover, WI. I will forward the report.

180 Description: Multiple colored objects seen in Dundee, Wisconsin

190 Description:
I was at Benson's Hideaway in Dundee, WI and at around 10:05PM a very bright, large circular object was seen coming over the hill across the lake. The object moved across the sky and at several different points it lit up even brighter. Then it dropped something orange several times. I saw 3 of these types of objects at approximately 5 minute intervals. After they got a certain distance they seemed to fade and disappear. None of these 3 objects made any noise.

At approximately 10:20PM at the same location I saw a smaller orange object and two blue objects coming from the side of the lake I was on. The two blue objects were circling around the orange object. They looked like they were dancing in the sky. They moved across the sky for a short distance,then seemed to hover and circle around each other. This happened for Approximately 5-10 minutes. Then one of the blue lights shot across the sky at an amazing speed, and at the same time the orange light fell straight down. The one blue light that was left hovered in it's position by itself for over a half hour. Theat least atleast 20 other people who saw these objectdefinitelyfinately were not airplanes, hot air balloons, or kites.

180 Description:
Dundee, WI: 4 amber lights, briefly flashing bright white, small dark red lights falling, small blue-green lights

190 Description:
OBJECT 1: Bright circular amber approximatelyximatley a quarter the size of a pencil tip eraser held at arm's length - appeared in south-southeast and tracked northward across our eastern field of view, about 45 degrees elevation, then disappeared in north-northeast. There were no other lights surrounding the object; there were CLEARLY no standard regulation aircraft beacons, strobes, or wingtip red/green lights, and the object discerniblecernable sound. If an aircraft, it was certainly not an ordinary one.

lightsCT 2: Approx 1 minute after disappearance of object 1, same type amber light appeared in same location and began same northward track. Approximately thirty seconds after appearing, object flashed very brightly white -- looking similar to a very bright set of aircraft landing lights -- approximately a half dozen times in rapid succession -- then continued on same original course. When object was to our east-northeast, a tiny deep red point of light appeared below the object and proceeded downward to disappear in the treetops below. Some comments were that it looked like someone dropping a flare.

OBJECT 3: After object 2 had "dropped its flare" and was tracking off to the northeast, another amber light of the same type appeared in the north. It too performed the same flashing of bright white lights. And, it also "dropped flares" -- three times -- before disappearing in the southeast.

OBJECT 4: Four to five minutes after the disappearance of object 3, as the crowd was abuzz with discussion of that we had seen, one more amber light -- this one somewhat dimmer that the first three -- appeared in the south-southwest. This one had an additional feature the others had lacked; two blue-green pinpoint lights which appeared to be circling the amber light. The entire complex slowly tracked westward toward the tree line, while seeming to bounce and weave in an unpredictable manner. The complex eventually disappeared into the trees, then reappeared on other side of trees several minutes later, still bouncing and weaving. This persisted for several more minutes until a muffled "popping" sound was heard, the amber light disappeared, another deep red point light dropped toward the ground, and one of the blue-green point lights rapidly accelerated off to the northwest and disappeared. The remaining blue-green point light remained in the same general location, bouncing and weaving back and forth within the space of a few degrees of arc, for another 90 minutes or so, at which time the reporter departed the scene for the evening.

notes: This was reporter's first ever personal sighting of a UFO. Report is based on naked eye observation only -- had no binoculars or camera.
