Occurred: 1999-07-15 04:15 Local
Reported: 1999-07-29 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 2-3 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Paddock Lake (rural area, approx. 4mi. north), WI, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

I was going S/B on Hwy 75 on my cycle when I saw a dull orange glow at approx. 30 degrees up directly ahead of me over the road. As I approached this glow it suddenly extinguished, but this occurred with the top and rightside and then the leftside being turned off one after the other. I now knew this was some type of craft and I could still see the black shape in the clear/bright night sky. I slowed my cycle and pulled almost directly under the object, which was still hovering but making no sound that I could hear over my cycle's noise. As I stopped beneath I would est. it to be the size of a hockey puck at arms length. Now the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I got goose bumps and a chill all over my body. I then decided descretion is the better part of valor and took off. I went about a half mile and stopped but could no longer find the object in the sky.

Description: About the size of a hockey puck at arms length, disk shaped with a flat bottom and some type of dome in the center top which tapered towards the outer edge. As I got more underneath I could only see the black circular shape with no lights or any distinctive features seen. This craft hovered the entire time and I observed no movement and could hear no sound coming from it.

NUFORC Note:

We spoke over the telephone with this witness, and found him to be extremely credible. He holds a quite responsible job in his community, and we strongly suspect his report is quite accurate.
