BELLEVILLE, Wis. (AP) -- Lavonne Freidig says she first thought it was
|
|||
|
|
a distant flock of geese, but closer observation showed an object shaped
|
|||
|
|
like an airplane fuselage with no wings.
|
|||
|
|
Belleville had recorded another sighting this year of an unidentified
|
|||
|
|
flying object.
|
|||
|
|
"It just hung there. I watched it and watched it," she said Monday of
|
|||
|
|
the object or objects she and her son, Bill, saw in the sky at dusk Sunday.
|
|||
|
|
After several minutes, the hitherto motionless object took off without a
|
|||
|
|
sound, leaving a vapor trail and several smaller objects behind it, she
|
|||
|
|
said.
|
|||
|
|
"It was really strange," said Ms. Freidig, adding that a local
|
|||
|
|
businessman and several of his out-of-town relatives, as well as residents
|
|||
|
|
of nearby Paoli also saw the object, and that someone also photographed it
|
|||
|
|
with a camera he had in his car.
|
|||
|
|
She said she and her son called the Dane County sheriff's office and
|
|||
|
|
were given the number of a national unidentified flying object reporting
|
|||
|
|
center to call.
|
|||
|
|
The cigar-shaped object appeared to be about as large as a pen held at
|
|||
|
|
arm's length, she said.
|
|||
|
|
In mid-January, Belleville police officer Glen Kazmar reported seeing
|
|||
|
|
lights much brighter than a star suspended in the sky west of Belleville
|
|||
|
|
for more than a half hour one evening.
|
|||
|
|
He said at the time that a Federal Aviation Administration radar center
|
|||
|
|
in Illinois detected a slow-moving object on its radar screens on the night
|
|||
|
|
in question.
|
|||
|
|
Jack Smith, manager of the FAA control tower at the Dane County Regional
|
|||
|
|
Airport in Madison, said Monday that tower operators did not report any
|
|||
|
|
unidentified objects on their radar screens Sunday evening.
|
|||
|
|
He said the tower received no reports of sightings from pilots.
