Details of Incident:
A Wisconsin family claims to have sighted three UFOs on April 25, 1997, the night over 30 UFOs were
seen over New Brighton, Minnesota, just north of the "Twin Cities" of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
The family lives in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin (population 9,909), located 40 miles (64 kilometers)
west of Milwaukee.
"We are avid sky watchers and go 'sky fishing' on clear nights, one or two nights a week," Mr.
P.H. said. "For months, we have observed extremely high moving objects which traverse the sky in a
few minutes. Under the increased power of my binoculars, they appear solid, self-illuminated and
round. These objects, which we named 'High Movers'...are moving in a north-to-south or south-to-north
direction, with slight east and west variations. This is not consistent with satellites."
Also, P.H. pointed out that his family is seeing these "High Movers" at nighttime hours when
conventional orbital satellites are cloaked in Earth's umbra (shadow).
"That night (April 25, 1997), my wife and I and our 13-year-old daughter had gone out about 9:30
p.m. to our favorite viewing spot outside of town (Oconomowoc)," he reported. "It is a remote, rural
area, and the sky was crystal clear. That night we saw a total of seven High Movers."
"Now, here is what is interesting," he added, "all but two were moving to the northwest, towards
Minnesota! I followed one moving to the northwest about 9:45 p.m. with my binoculars and just as it
was about to drop below the horizon, I saw another moving near it, more to the east. I was totally
amazed to have two in my field of vision at the same time, since viewing through binoculars greatly
restricts your field of vision. A third High Mover (UFO) streaked past both of them. Wow! I've
never seen three in the sky at once...much less in the same binocular field of view."
"I believe I was witnessing the comings and goings of some of the objects witnessed in Minnesota,"
he added, "The date was the same, the time was approximately the same, and the compass direction
(northwest) appears to be the same, as well."
