Father-son leave scared after chasing Wisconsin UFO

Wisconsin witnesses at Fort Atkinson drove closer to “orange flashing lights in the sky” about 10 p.m. on June 2, 2014, and saw “a large orange ball of light behind a cloud” that lit up the horizon as it flashed, according to testimony in Case 56788 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The reporting witnesses’ son first saw the orange flashing lights in the sky just east of Fort Atkinson and asked him and his wife to step outside for a look.

“At times blue and red beams seemed to shoot through the trees,” the witness stated. “It looked as if kids were playing with laser pointers in the distance.”

Curious about what the lights were, the witness and his son drove to the Purdy Elementary School parking lot only to encounter yet another anomaly.

“The street lights in the area were flickering when we saw the light in the sky.”

To get a better view of the lights, the two decided to then drive east to Hommerson’s Pond.

“We watched for about five minutes. Orange flashing lights seemed to be behind the tree line so we drove again to get a better look. We drove about 5 – 8 miles down 106 east and pulled over to the side of the road. We now had a great view of a large orange ball of light behind a cloud.”

The witness described the scene.

“It was a clear sky but the strange lights always had a cloud around them. When it lit up, the whole horizon was orange. We saw a large white light that looked like it was getting closer to us in the sky.”

The two became frightened and decided to drive home.

“I found myself almost unable to stop looking in my rear and side mirrors. When we passed Purdy School on the way home we noticed that the street lights were back to normal.”
