Details of Incident:
On August 21, 2004 at approximately 10:10 P.M. CST I noticed a very
odd phenomenon over Interstate 90/94 southbound between Poynette, WI and DeForest, WI. My wife and I were driving home from central Wisconsin from a
friends cottage. No alcohol or drugs were consumed at the outing. It was a very
clear night and the stars were very visible.
My wife and I both noticed a bright light in the sky. She asked what it was and
I responded jokingly, a UFO. It was extremely bright and was composed of four
lights in a row flying perpendicular to our line of travel. At first we thought
they must be landing lights on an airliner. However the four lights in a row
were not right. Usually there is some separation between the lights. There was
none. Between us and the lights there was a microwave tower with a red light on
it, the lights appeared miles beyond the tower. We passed the tower in about a
quarter to half mile. Then the lights started to descend. I thought it might
be a plane landing at the Dane county airport a few miles to the south. But it
wasn't turning toward the airport as it should have. It proceeded straight
across the highway about what initially looked to be about a quarter mile ahead
of us. It then came down very steeply and I though it was going to crash in the
woods next to the highway. Inst!
ead the lights dropped in intensity until it looked about the size of a
flashlight. It then winked out and appeared to land on the shoulder of the road
directly to our right. When it winked out it was the size of a computer
keyboard and appeared to fly into the woods next to the road. It was not a
bird. We could not stop as it was a crowded interstate and had a steep ditch
next to the road. We proceeded home to Madison and I filed this report. It was
definitely an Unconventional Flying Object.
