UFO Scares Fishermen
Karen Sazama's tale is no fish story as far as the Milwaukee resident is concerned.
Sazama got the scare of her life this morning, and it wasn't something she found on the end of her
fishing hook.
At 3:30 a.m. on waters near Omro, Sazama saw what she believes was an
unidentified flying object.
Sazama said she told her companion, Gary Michael Frye, something funny was going on after the pair
saw a light in the sky.
"It was a glowing light, an orangish-reddish light," said Sazama, who was fishing with Frye in a
boat. "I really got scared out there. I was looking for a place to hide in the boat."
Sazama said the light stayed in the sky from 20 to 25 minutes before it disappeared.
"The fish weren't even biting," Sazama said. "We got nothing for fish,
not even a bite. I told Mike 'I think the lights had something to do with it'."
Frye said the couple rented a boat from George's Bait Shop near Omro at 7 p.m. for a night of fishing.
He said the pair could see the stars under a clear and calm night.
Frye said they fished "all over the place," but when the odd looking light appeared he is sure it
was a UFO.
"Yes, I would say it was a UFO. It was something I had never saw before. I do believe in UFOs," Frye
said. "(Light) was bigger than a star. It was falling, but not very fast."
The couple reported their sighting to the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department at about 8 o'clock
this morning. A deputy came out and took a report.
Sazama felt the sighting should be reported so others know what to expect.
George Wilz, owner of George's Bait Shop, said this is the first time anyone ever reported an unusual
sighting to him.
"I know (Sazama) was all shook up," Wilz said. "To me it's kind of serious."
But did the lights scare off the pair so they will never return to
Winnebago County to fish again?
"I don't think this will prevent us from coming back again," Sazama said. "I just hope we don't see
any more lights like that again."
