It has been too long since I did a little deep dive on a UFO sighting. UFOs - or UAPs as they are called these days - have become mainstream news. It seems there is a new supernatural headline every single week.

For example, just a few months ago, a Wisconsin Rapids local shared video of what they believe to be a UFO sighting in the area.

This sighting happened in February with the reporting party saying they were out in the country when it happened and that others witnessed it as well. This is one example of many.

So was that the last time something spooky was reported in the Wisconsin sky? Not so fast. There have been a few others. Let's dive into the newest sighting for fun. Why not?!

The sighting lasted about a minute and was spotted by two different people. The spooky object in the sky was shaped like a cigar, was white and silver in color and about 100 feet. The object wasn't moving but it did have lights on it, changed color and had a haze around it. Wow.

The UFO was hovering above the trees along Highway 17, which you will know if you are familiar with the area. According to the report, it was about the size of an airplane and had no wings or tail. Hmmm....

What I thought was the most interesting part of the sighting? That it had 'hazy streaks of blue and red running along the side' as if there was a mirage. That is very interesting! It also appeared to have windows along the side.

I have definitely never heard of any UFO sighting like this one, mainly in terms of its appearance. We'll have to wait and see what the next headline will be.
