Hello all, a friend sent me a clipping from the "Milwaukee Sentinel"
|
|
dated Tuesday, Feburary 2, 1993 with the title of "Lights: UFO reports,
|
|
media swamp Dodge sheriff" by Michael S Bayer;
|
|
|
|
Juneau -- Dodge County Sheriff Stephn G. Fitzgerald was under the
|
|
lights Monday because two deputies saw an eerie light in the sty the
|
|
night before. "I've been in law enforcement for 30 years and I've never
|
|
experienced anything like today," Fitzgerald said of the media attention
|
|
after Sunday's sighting of an unidentified flying object. Nine
|
|
television stations, countless newspapers, and radio stations from Green
|
|
Bay to Madison interviewed Fitzgerald Monday. He was even interviewed
|
|
live on a Wyoming radio station, he said. "I've been answering calls
|
|
since 5 a.m.," Fitzgerald sid. "We've had some pretty serious homicide
|
|
cases in this county in recent years, but it's never come close to
|
|
this." "I just can't understand it." Authorities here are saying the
|
|
same thing about the mysterious, bright light. At 8:15 p.m. Sunday, a
|
|
farmer ne Hustisford called the Sheriff's Department to report a strange
|
|
light in the sky. By the time deputies arrived at the scene, the light
|
|
had moved westward and was poised about 45 degrees above the horizon,
|
|
Fitzgerald said. The deputies hopped into their squad car and drove
|
|
westward along Highway 60, following the light for about 20 miles until
|
|
it suddenly "took a left turn" near County Highway BB, 2 1/2 miles east
|
|
of Columbus, Fitzgerald said. The deputies followed the light southward
|
|
toward the Jefferson County line, where they notified authorities there
|
|
about the object and gave up the chase. Jefferson County deputies
|
|
reported no sightings JSunday night. The farmer told deputies the light
|
|
was connected to a large, flat object that was domed at the center. The
|
|
bright light was shinning from the domed section, and a dimmer,
|
|
yellowish light came from the ends, Fitzgerald said. The Sheriff's
|
|
Deparment later contacted several area air traffic control towers. None
|
|
reported any aircraft in the area at the time of the sightings. Ray
|
|
Stubinsky, a town of Oconomowoc farmer who lives less than a mile south
|
|
of Dodge County, reported another UFO to town officials last Tuesday.
|
|
Just before 8 p.m., Stubinsky and his 14-year-old grandson "noticed
|
|
lights in the corn-field across the road that were too low to be a
|
|
airplane and too high to be a tractor,: he said Monday. As they watched,
|
|
the lights came toward them, and Stubinsky said he saw what appeared to
|
|
be "three machines, side by side, with one on top." Each of the three
|
|
machines had two round, white "headlights" that were "wider than long."
|
|
The object rose near Stubinskys' barn, and at one point, was no more
|
|
than 30 or 40 feet away from them, he said. Whatever the source of the
|
|
light Sunday, the Sheriff's Department takes the sighting seriously,
|
|
Fitzgerald said. "I know to the people wo say it this is a real object,
|
|
so wer're going to investigate it," he said.
