Details of Incident:
My wife and I watched a bright cylinder-shaped object descend at sunset over Green Bay bay for 30
minutes.
On July 6th, 2000, at sunset, from Chambers Island, Door County, WI, my wife and I observed a very
bright cylinder-shaped object above the Wisconsin-Upper Michigan border. The weather was calm, 70
degrees, clear skies. We were looking at a few pink clouds just after sunset when suddenly a very
bright cylinder-shaped object appeared at about 30 degrees above the horizon, at the 1 0'clock
position above us. I observed the object for about 30 minutes through binoculars. There were no wings,
no windows, no markings, no sound, no contrail. The object had no lights, except for one moments when
a reflection from the sun, I assume, beamed out from the side nearest the sun, 9by now set). This
bright reflection lasted only a moment, and was replaced by a black line on the leading edge and
bottom surface. The object was lilted down and to the left. After a moment, it started to move very
slowly from right to left and down toward the horizon. It took 30 minutes to move from its original
position of one o'clock down to the horizon, or seven o'clock, a position a few miles north of
Marinette, WI. That was about one degree per minute, way too slow for an airliner, etc. By the time it
went over the horizon, it had become pink as well, as it was heading toward and beyond where the
sunset position had been. This event was witness by my wife, and was observed in daylight to dusk. It
did not vary in speed or direction, and held to its slow, downward tilted descent and speed without
change or variation.
