On 05/19/08, at approximately 3:45pm, I was driving through Pleasant Prairie southbound on highway 31 (Green Bay Road) approaching the junction for highway 165 where I needed to turn west to go to my job in the industrial park. After reaching the highest part of the road before 165 (a bit before Jelly Belly factory) I saw a silver or very shiny object in the sky directly over the road. It appeared to be maybe 1-3 miles away and maybe 1000 feet in the sky. The object was sort of egg shaped as it wasn’t quite round. It sat stationary in the sky. At first I thought it must be a plane or something else and that it didn’t appear to be moving because I was in motion. I watched it stay in the same spot up to when I reached 165 and turned west. I slowed down to a complete stop at the yield and observed the object continue to sit stationary over the road. I looked back at the road and switched lanes, to the left lane, before the south entrance to Jelly Belly and looked south again and it was still there. I began to ascend the hill the overpasses the railroad tracks before 80th Ave and looked back again and it was still there. I then focused on reaching the apex of the hill hoping for a very clear view and when I turned to look it was gone (about 5-6 seconds between it being there and it dissapearing). I thought maybe it had moved so I kept looking in every direction and could not see it. I turned south on 80th Ave hoping to catch another glimpse of it but it was gone. I then continued on my way to work like any other day.

When I was driving I was in a fairly good mood, I was thinking about what I had to accomplish at work today. When I initially saw the object I immediately got the heart in throat feeling because I knew I was seeing something unusual. My excitement went down as I tried to rationalize what I was seeing, but I was unable to. I felt a bit disheartened when it disappeared. I only told a couple co-workers about what I had seen, because I trust them and I knew they wouldn’t think I was crazy. I also told my wife when I got home tonight. Later, I briefly considered calling the Pleasant Prairie Police Dept. to ask if anyone had reported seeing a strange object in the sky, but I decided not to.
