Bright Objects in Sky Maybe Not All Fireworks
Fireworks weren't the only flashy aerial displays in
Wisconsin during the holiday weekend, according to the UFO Education Center
- Midwest Headquarters in Appleton.There were seven sightings of
unidentified flying objects in the state Sunday night and Monday, according
to Mrs. Lenore Hildebrandt, associate to the director of the center.She
said that the UFOs were not fireworks, meteors, airplanes or other known
flying objects, because trained observers saw them, including herself and
others associated with the center.According to the center, the sightings
were at:
- Appleton about 6:45 p.m. Monday. A youth reported seeing a
silver football shaped object north of the city. Other UFO sightings were
