Sometime during the late summer of 1978, my now ex-wife and I were visiting the Southern Wisconsin tourist town of Lake Geneva.
We were walking in a southeasterly direction in the 800 block of Wrigley Dr. near the northern end of the lake. With approximately an hour til sunset it was a beautiful summer day coming to a close. It was at that time that we noticed a saucer shaped craft above us, it was approximately 80 deg. from the horizon. There were 3 other people besides us also in the immediate vicinity, (within earshot that is).
I remember making the comment that "We are now experiencing a UFO people." The 50 yd diameter craft was remarkably close, only about 50 to 80 yards above us. Take a large pizza platter and hold it at arms length, it was that close!
We saw many details on the craft, not all of which we can remember. It moved silently and very slowly for 100 yards or so from west to east. It then stopped and changed direction to go away from us in a southerly direction at an ever increasing speed.
We watched the craft until it was out of sight as it was apparently approaching an estimated mach 32 or faster! All of us witnesses were awestruck, in a fashion that was strangely overwhelming, even seemly directed! Someone recently has coined a phrase, 'the Oz Factor', which I absolutely love!
All of us witnesses slowly returned to each of our respective automobiles in an almost robotic fashion. My wife and I simply returned to where we were staying and retired for the night.
Well life goes on, so dealing with unemployment and worrying about the bills, slowly made that 'encounter' lose importance when compared with the trials and tribulations of starting a new family.
However, as interesting as that encounter was for us, it may not even be the most significant in regards to actually dealing with some kind of intelligence behind some of these vistations.
I'll write more about my other strange encounters as time progresses. The reason I'm telling this one first in the forum is because it's the main one that I reported to Mufon a couple of years ago.
