Evidently, the occupants of an unidentified flying object
spotted last Wednesday hovering over Rice Lake did not appreciate what they
saw and continued on their way.
No further sightings have been reported since last Wednesday evening,
when a group of kids turned in a UFO report to city police around 9 p.m. Wednesday.
Others who reported seeing the strange lights in the night sky were Mark
and Michelle Gonske.
According to Mark, he and his wife had just returned home, when Michelle saw two
bright lights hovering over the city.
As the Gonskes watched, the brilliant white lights, which were blinking rapidly,
moved over their home and continued to the northwest.
Mark said at first he was sure the lights were on an airplane or helicopter,
but as the object came overhead, all that could be heard was a low hum such
as that of a small electric motor.

Three persons reported seeing an unidentified flying object in the skies in northwestern Marinette
county Wednesday night, Sept. 10.
Mrs. Irene Eder, who lives year around on the South Hilbert Loop
road, a mile east of Highway 101, said: "I saw this round ball of light
shining on the blacktop as I was going for a walk. The light came down
through the trees and then went up and away." Mrs. Eder made the sighting
about 9:30 p.m. The Eders live five miles north of Armstrong Creek.
At the same time Mrs. Eder's husband, George, reported he saw the unidentified
flying object while he was driving east on Highway 8 between Cavour and
Armstrong Creek, about 10 miles west of his home. "I saw this bright
light, like lightning," said Eder. "I know it wasn't an airplane or
helicopter as I worked for Swissaire."
Another person, Gary Honeybuss, traveling from Nome, Alaska, saw the object
as he was also on Highway 8 between Cavour and Armstrong Creek. Honeybuss, 33,
stated, "I was scared so I shimmied up a tree. The thing was about two feet
around, like an oversize softball, with flame colored light flashing back and forth at
treetop level. I've seen a lot of things but I never saw anything like that."
Eder reported the sighting of the object in the sky to authorities at Sawyer Air
Force Base near Marquette, Mich. and to county officials.
