Details of Incident:
My husband and I were sitting on the back deck, as we often do, sipping wine and gazing at the
stars. This particular night the sky was exceptionally beautiful in that it was so clear above,
with big puffy clouds on the northwestern horizon. We were identifying satellites and counting
shooting stars (I lost count at 17). We watched the clouds as they slowly moved from West to
East over our house and property. We live near the borderline of Baraboo and Lake Delton, in
the country.
It was my husband who first noticed the strange light behind the clouds. The cloud itself
appeared to have a green tint. It was barely visible at first but as the surrounding clouds
moved so did the green light. It became brighter as it passed just above our home at
approximately 200 yards in the sky. It blinked in a pattern, like a beacon. The light was
eminating from the sky, and faded outward. I wanted to go inside and call our children out to
witness it, but I was mesmerized by the sighting. It slowly disappeared toward the west as it
followed the clouds.
A few minutes later, two low flying airplanes flew by overhead. My husband (an ex-Air Force
Security Specialist) said, "Those are search planes. See how they're flying low, side by side,
and from West to east? Two more will follow from the other direction." Sure enough, as soon as
the first set of planes passed, a second pair appeared from the other direction.
It was then that I went inside and called my children out. They stood staring at the night sky
as my husband and I described what we had seen. We started counting shooting stars again, but
they were coming so fast from all directions. Then we witnessed a lighted streak across the
sky. It seemed to have a "tail" like a comet. There were lights/stars (?) that shot back and
forth. It seemed like a war that was taking place in deep space. Really strange. We watched the
news to see if anyone reported anything, but there was no mention of it, that I know of.
