TOPIC:  UFOS in Wisconsin

1-8-13 - DREAM - I was living in Wisconsin and met a chubby man by the name of Donald who knew an awful lot of things about aliens that nobody else knew because he had met them personally.  I was so intrigued by what he said, I wrote everything down and then posted it on a web page.

Here is what I wrote:

THIS IS MY OWN REPORT FROM 1960 WHICH CHANGED MY LIFE:

Date: July 4, 1960
Location: New Berlin
County: Waukesha

Source: Email report received from Dolores Bauer-Finney


Details of Incident:

NEW BERLIN, Wisconsin , 1960

I'm surprised that no one has reported the BIG UFO sightings from 1960 in Wisconsin . The first one occurred on the evening of July 4th, 1960 at dusk while we were standing high on a hill in New Berlin, WI waiting for the fireworks to start. The sun had gone down. We could see spotlights searching the skies over Milwaukee about 15 miles away. There were some clouds in the sky, but not many. All of a sudden, I saw movement over my head. I looked straight up and a saw a white circular craft moving slowly from behind me from south toward the north. It moved very slowly. It was above the clouds. I double checked to see if there was a possibility of the searchlights from Milwaukee to be making a search way out here in New Berlin, but it wasn't. The white craft was above the clouds. It was about the size of a quarter held at arm's length. It moved slowly toward the north, never deviating from its course and never changing speed ... very slow. The strange thing was that before it got to the horizon, it blinked off like a light bulb. I called my sister who was about 25 miles away and she said that she had seen the same thing, so we reported it to the Hynek Institute in Chicago, giving a written report within the week. Hundreds of people have had to have seen that, but we never met any. The very next day, on July 5th, during the afternoon, there was another sighting by hundreds of people on the Lake shore of Lake Michigan. I just happened to be standing inside the house by the window facing north. Off to the east I saw a greenish white craft going down towards the north quite aways off. It was about the same size as the one I had seen the night before. I found out the next day in the newspaper that hundreds of people had witnessed the UFO dive into Lake Michigan with a jet aircraft chasing it over the lake which had been scrambled by Billy Mitchell airfield. I wish I had saved that article. It is available at the newspaper but someone has to go in person and photograph it and I now live in California.

FOLLOW UP NOTE:  I finally found some people willing to go to the newspaper archives, which they did, and went through every newspaper copy during the month of July 1960 and found nothing mentioning a UFO.  Since I clearly remember seeing it published in both the Milwaukee Journal and Sentinel on the following day -  why was it pulled from the archives?

COVERUP?

During the early years of 2000, I was able to contact another Wisconsin woman who lived directly north of New Berlin - about 10 miles or so. She told me via e-mail that she also had seen that UFO going over her house, but she never met anyone before me who had seen it either. 

Sorry to say, she has passed on and is no longer able to tell her own story.

UFO Wisconsin View & Report UFO Sightings and Alien Experiences ... Don't
.... In response to all this, the Air Force dispatched its civilian UFO investigator, J. Allen Hynek.

HERE IS A PERSONAL REPORT FROM A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE FROM OUR FORMER MILWAUKEE UFO RESEARCH GROUP

Milwaukee Wisconsin:  It's the end of a shift at the Harley Davidson motorcycle factory. For most of these people, their work is done until tomorrow. For one of them, his work is just beginning.

Tim Hildebrandt runs a precision gear grinding machine here at Harley Davidson. He used to live in the biker's world.

Tim: "Before I was into UFO's I guess I was just a motorcycle person, working for Harley Davidson. I've always enjoyed riding Harley Davidsons. I was a motorcycle person."

Tim still rides the bike, still wears the clothes, but a few years ago the road he was following took a very different turn.

Tim: "In 1989 on September 10th was the first time I ever saw one. It was as I was leaving work about 7:05. I saw it off to the west and it was a very, very prominent cigar shaped silver object. That was the first sighting I ever had. The following year is when I started taking pictures."

If the ultimate goal of the UFO investigator is to uncover evidence, Tim Hildebrandt believes no evidence could be more compelling than a photograph. A photograph makes one person's perception tangible for the whole world to see. For the last six years, Tim has spent every free moment and every last dollar investigating UFOs through photography.

Tim: "Over the past five years, total investment, I would imagine anywhere between 25 and 30 thousand dollars would be a good guess. I mean, you're talking the cost of all the film and all the developing."

Tim's goal is to gather hard evidence to document the sightings he and others have experienced. He's grown particularly interested in a small town a few hours away called Dundee where UFO sightings and other strangeness have become almost commonplace.

Tim: "The people at Dundee, a lot of them have seen UFOs. Some of them have seen them close. There have been a lot of things happening out there. There's been some very unusual circles out there. People have heard things. I'm out there recording it, as much as I can.

Tim's destination is a bar up in Dundee called Benson's Hideaway. It's a gathering place for anyone who's seen something in the sky they can't explain.

Anonymous bar patron: "He told me. I'm really into this stuff. I believe in UFOs."

You couldn't throw a stone in this place without hitting a UFO believer.

Anonymous bar patron: "I know there's other life forms out there than us, so."

Bill Benson: "There's a lot of people in the area that have sighted something, seen something, felt something, and had no place to tell about it."

So they gather here at Benson's to share their UFO experiences. Tim's contribution is evidence. Photographs of his own sightings. Many of them taken from the summit of Dundee Mountain, only a few miles away.

Anonymous bar patron: "And he said all of a sudden he heard what sounded like a jet fly over by. 10 seconds later it went flying back."

Tim: "Hi Bill"

Bill Benson: "Hi Tim"

In this place, Tim's photographs are seen as an important body of work. Many of these people wish they had photographs that could prove their own sightings were real. Tim's pictures have captured what he believes is a significant clue in the UFO mystery - triangles.

Tim: "What's unique about that triangle shape is that it seems to be occurring in more photographs that I've taken. In this particular photograph here there's a triangle outline at the lower right of this light that is quite obviously there. You can see that it has three sides."

Other people around the country have reported triangular sightings, but they are unusual.

The real excitement this weekend is about something that happened one night earlier in the month in a marshy area of the lake. Strange lights, loud noises, and in the morning an ominous sight: Hundreds of square feet of crushed and flattened reeds.

Anonymous bar patron: "It looked like something had landed actually."

Now, everyone's wondering, did something from "out there" touch down here in Dundee?

Anonymous bar patron: "In my opinion, it didn't land long enough to have burned."

Another bar patron, (referring to a photo she's holding of someone standing in the middle of the flattened reeds on Long Lake): "He walked to the edge and he said, 'This will be the real test.' And he walked off and he sunk down to about the middle of his knee. And it was just fascinating, that's when I was made a believer. I was just like: oh my god, he's walking on water."

"And it came real loud and close and zoom, it was far away. And then all of a sudden, zoom, it jetted over the marsh"

If one person sees something in the sky, they could be mistaken. But in this case there were scores of witnesses all over town. Unfortunately, Tim wasn't there that night to photograph the lights. The only physical evidence that remains is the mysterious imprint in the reeds; left by something.

Anonymous person outside at a picnic table: "Our son Andy had an interest based on a couple of experiences that he talked about, and I noticed this in a flyer."

Not everyone here is local. On the edge of the action there's a family that traveled down from Green Bay. They look a little out of place in this crowd, but one of them feels right at home.

Andy Gordon: "I was seeing UFOs"

There's something wrong with this picture of a perfect American family. Little Andy's been seeing things. Mom is sympathetic, sis is a bit skeptical, and dad's downright confused.

Andy: "It was a triangle, it had three lights, they were round, and it kind of like swerved, and it shot down the sky until it disappeared."

Triangular. The same unusual shapes that Tim has photographed. The moment Andy saw Tim's photos, he knew the trip from Green Bay was well worth it.

The big event that caps the day is a hike up Dundee Mountain with Tim in the lead. Most of these people at least once have seen or heard something in the sky that they couldn't explain. Tonight they'll have a chance to see how one investigator goes about gathering evidence.

Tim: "Here we are. We're gonna use the 400 hopefully. Give us a little more telephoto range. The tripod is your best friend, because when you're making exposures in low light you've gotta keep the camera dead steady, and if you don't, you're not gonna get a sharp picture. And you've gotta always keep them ready because you don't know when it's gonna happen. You don't even know if it's gonna happen. You might come up here 5 or 6 times and nothing will happen. You've gotta be ready all the time."

When a person has a UFO sighting, they have to make a choice. They can ignore what they've seen, as if it never happened, or they can accept it. But with something as strange as a UFO, human nature makes it hard to believe even our own eyes without physical evidence.

William James said "Our science is but a drop, our ignorance a sea." Faced with questions that have no answers, the UFO investigator is left to wonder and to speculate. Part scientist, part dreamer, part detective. These citizens seek knowledge wherever they can find it. Tim Hildebrandt believes the UFO mystery goes back to ancient times.

Tim: "By reading all these different books, The Bible, many, many old books, it's obvious that we've had visitors all along. And the picture was that we have been visited throughout history, and we still are being visited now."

Whether UFOs are an ancient presence or a modern phenomenon is only one question. Even if we knew that answer, we still would wonder: what are they, and why do people keep seeing them?

NOTE FROM DEE:  Tim mentions Dundee Mountain.  That is a place I saw every weekend during the spring, summer, and fall from about 1948 through 1965 or so because my Father owned property at Round Lake - later renamed Kettle Moraine Lake, which is right down the road from Long Lake where the UFO group meets that Tim belonged to.  During that period of time, I had no idea that people in that area were seeing UFOs like I did near Milwaukee in 1960.

Later on, I talked with my Father about UFOs, and he told me that he had seen one go over Milwaukee late at night in 1935 and it glowed bright red and lit up all the houses on the street as it went over.

Since then, other people I met in the 1990's told me similar stories about seeing UFOs going over Milwaukee.  There is far more going on than ever gets reported and why are these reports never in the newspaper?

HERE IS ANOTHER ARTICLE FROM A PERSONAL FRIEND IN OUR MILWAUKEE GROUP:

It was after seeing these lights that I became a night person sometimes staying out until 4:00a.m. I often chased bright lights in the sky by car. Many, many times I was disappointed, when the lights turned out to be radio and TV towers.

On the July 4th weekend of 1976, there were approximately two and a half hours of time that could not be accounted for. Many abduction books talked of missing time, and they used hypnosis as a tool for retrieving what happened during this period of time. I began to wonder if something could have happened to me. Having little money, and wanting an answer, I checked to see if there were any hypnotists in the area who would be willing to do it for free. Sadly I have to say there were none.

One woman, who came to our meetings, said she knew of a psychologist in Milwaukee, Wisconsin who might be interested in doing the hypnosis although he was not into UFOs. He is a licensed psychotherapist who uses hypnosis to treat his patients. He agreed to do the hypnosis for free. The only problem being his practice was in Milwaukee and it was an hour and half drive one way. For approximately three years at least twice a month the drive was made. During these hypnosis sessions it came out that indeed an encounter had taken place, not once, but several times. It seems that not only did I encounter ships but interacted with the extraterrestrials on board the crafts. This seemed to open the door for me because after the hypnosis sessions started, I was able to remember more and more of the encounters. It seems that I was often taken on board a craft and taught lessons. It was frustrating to remember some of the encounters, but not everything that happened in great detail. I remember asking the ET's why I could not remember more? The ET's explained that in time I would be able to remember more. A young woman who lived in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin was channeling an entity that called himself Anon. My curiosity was piqued and I had to see what was happening. The entity Anon came through the young woman and told me that I would become a channeler. I laughed and said "No way!"

There was no way I wanted to be a channeler. The only channelers I had seen or heard of were not what I believed to be true channelers. Messages from the ET's then began to be given to me in my head. The only way I can explain it is: it was like a ticker tape was being played across my forehead from the inside and I could read it. Over the years many things have been revealed to me. The ET's talked of how they were here to help planet Earth during the troubled times that were ahead.

The ET's also talked about their God, who it seems, is also our God. They talked of Jesus being a great teacher and how some planets have beings that come to help during periods of trouble. There was no way I wanted to get involved in religion, no way! Not being raised in a church, I did not want to become involved in any religion at this point in my life. The ET's were very patient with me and explained that a spiritual person is one who tries at all times to love his fellow man and live the laws of both God and man.

The telephone rang one day and to my surprise it was my hypnotist. He asked, "Would you like to do a firewalk?" My answer was "no" and we talked for awhile and hung up. As I walked away from the phone I thought, "Why did I say no?" I often saw firewalking on TV and wondered if I could accomplish it. I immediately called him back and said, "Yes, I want to do it!" I did five firewalks in all; four of those were as an assistant. My job was catching the people at the end of their walk or hosing down their feet so they would not burn. Through these experiences, I learned to believe in myself. Learning that I could call on God and myself to do all that is necessary to protect both body and soul in times of need. My future is in my hands and I am the only one who is totally responsible for my thoughts and actions. No more blaming anyone else for my actions or mistakes.

I have been misquoted many times in newspapers, TV programs, and books and sometimes even by friends. This caused me to become a more private person. I used this time to become stronger in my faith and figure out which direction I wanted to proceed with the knowledge that seemed to be accumulating. During this time I made the decision that I wanted God to be a big part of everything I did.

Through the years there have been different groups and people with whom I have studied. Some of the people did not walk their talk of spirituality or truthfulness. So again and again I had to search for people who believed as I did. I often cried at losing these friends, and felt a giant void was left in my soul. So again and again I searched for like-minded people. I never gave up, always searching for what was right for me. I can honestly say I came into this field kicking and screaming. The things that I said I would never believe in (UFOs and Aliens) are now the things that I believe in the most. Many times I have changed by beliefs as I learned more and more about UFO's and Aliens.

HERE IS AN ARTICLE ABOUT JUDITH WOOLCOTT WHO HAS UNFORTUNATELY PASSED ON IN 2009

Date: 22-Sep-86 23:56 MST MENASHA, Wis. (AP) -- Aliens from other planets have spirited two Menasha women off to space at least seven times each in the past 11 years, according to the pair, who insist "We're not kooks." Judie Woolcott and Bonnie Meyer head a loosely knit group called the Fox Valley UFO Discussion & Support Group, which meets Sunday nights. The two say they realized only in the last year with the help of hypnotherapy that they had been abducted by space beings. A Milwaukee hypnotherapist conducts their sessions. "We didn't know we were abducted," Ms. Woolcott said. "A lot of people are abducted and they don't know it," Ms. Meyer added. "Your mind blocks it out." The two say they were abducted together six times and once each separtely. Ms. Woolcott declined to give details of her abduction. But Ms. Meyer said she remembers being taken while her family slept. She said she called for help, but the aliens put her family in suspended animation and they couldn't respond. Ms. Woolcott said she first became interested in unidentified flying objects when she photographed a streak of light she called a UFO several years ago. The reaction of her long-time friend, Ms. Meyer, was to consider hospitalizing Ms. Woolcott, the two said. The two also described a joint abduction and say they spent time on another planet that took 93 minutes to reach on an alien craft. The two say they were taken after a UFO meeting in Appleton when their two families were camping in New London. The night they were abducted, they left Appleton at 10:30 p.m., but didn't get to the campsite until 1:30 a.m. They have since timed the drive from Appleton to the campsite at 32 minutes, but couldn't account for the missing time until they were hypnotized. "I said, `Oh my God,' we really were aboard a spacecraft," Ms. Woolcott said. "It's one thing to say it, but it's another to find out that it's true." The women say space beings don't look like human beings. Ms. Meyer also noted that during one of her abductions, space creatures put microscopic implants behind her ears. The devices force feed information into her brain, she said. "I'm not supposed to understand yet," she said. "We are being taught to help the people of Earth." Both women say they're used to people not believing them. "We've gotten so used to being called kooks and crazy that we don't pay any attention to it anymore," Ms. Meyer said. But, "We're not kooks," Ms. Woolcott said. <<>>

By RICHARD EGGLESTON Associated Press Writer 
   MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Thea Hefty and police officers Kevin Plendl and Scott
McElroy may discover in the weeks ahead that they have far more in common with
strangers than they had imagined. 
   Hefty did something unusual when she saw a strange, bright object hovering in
the sky over Waunakee early Tuesday. She called the police. 
   When Plendl and McElroy arrived at her home and spent an hour watching the
unidentified flying object hang in the sky, they also did something out of the
ordinary: they filled out a report on the incident. 
   Lavonne Freidig of Belleville said friends and strangers alike have confided
similar experiences to her after reading of the sightings she and other
residents reported. 
   She described the object she spotted from her back door last March as a
cigar-shaped object with three spheres attached to it, hovering just above the
tree-line in the afternoon sky. 
   "A reasonable estimate is that only one in 10 sightings are reported," Mark
Rodeghier, a sociologist at the University of Illinois Chicago Circle campus and
scientific director of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, said in a
telephone interview. 
   "Very few policemen go public with their sightings," he added. 
   "I was stunned," was how Plendl described his reaction to the glowing object
with red and blue flashing lights, from which an egg-shaped object separated,
then flew off at high speed. 
   "I have to admit I have never seen anything like that," police chief Frank
Balistreri chuckled the day after the sighting. "I don't know if I would admit
it if I did." 
   The sighting, which prompted some Waunakee wags to dub their community "The
Land of Milk and Martians" is one of about 30 reported in Wisconsin so far this
year. 
   That doesn't come close to constituting a "wave" of UFO sightings, which
Rodeghier defines as hundreds or thousands of reports of sightings. 
   The UFO scene actually has been pretty quiet for 14 years, he said. The
Waunakee report also is unlikely to provide many clues to the mystery of UFOs,
he added. 
   "It's a typical light-in-the-sky case," Rodeghier said. "Lights in the sky
aren't that interesting. The reason is they aren't of research value." 
   Nevertheless, Don Schmitt of Milwaukee, the center's Wisconsin coordinator,
was planning a visit to the area over the weekend. 
   Schmitt also investigated the Belleville sightings, and concluded there was
no ready explanation for the objects people reported seeing -- they were genuine
UFOs. 
   Rodeghier is more intrigued by UFOs that leave behind physical evidence.
While no piece of metal or alien form of life has been recovered from a UFO
sighting -- which would pretty well pin down its origin as extraterrestrial --
he said there have been inexplicable marks left on the ground where UFOs are
reported to have landed. 
   "Those traces don't mean extraterrestrial spacecraft," Rodeghier said. "They
do mean phenomena that can't be explained." 
   But there are a lot of things that Rodeghier can't explain about UFO
sightings, even the sporadic attention that news media pay to the phenomena. 
   His own theory on UFOs? 
   "I'm scientific enough not to go out on a limb," Rodeghier said. But he
added, "The best evidence is not inconsistent with the hypothesis that some
sightings are indeed alien spacecraft."

Wisconsin Officers Report Multiple Sightings of UFOs

Ashland, WI (AP) - Authorities in a four-county area of Northern Wisconsin have reported several recent sightings of unidentified flying objects, with nine deputies in Ashland and Iron counties saying they saw four UFOs at one time.

At the time of the sightings, officials said, police radios were garbled or went out of service and witnesses said they saw the objects moving, changing colors, and heading toward a common position in the sky.

Authorities at the nearby Duluth airport said there was no radar contact made at the time, late in the evening of March 13.

Ashland County Sheriff Joe Croteau said "telephones were ringing off the hook from citizens who also saw the objects". Sightings were also reported in Douglas and Price counties.

A rural Mellen resident, Mrs. Phil Baker and her daughter, Jane, 15, told authorities "an object" landed on a road near their home, made noises and high-pitched sounds, and had red and green lights around it.

Ashland County Undersheriff George Ree, who investigated, said he found no evidence of a landing. He left their home and drove about two miles to meet with deputies. Then, he said, he and the deputies saw four UFOs, one brighter than the others. They said the brightest one moved, changed colors, and then became stationary while three smaller objects headed toward it.

"I didn't want to believe what I was seeing," Phil Baker said later. "There was this circular object about twelve feet across with red and bluish-green lights around the outside and in the center was an opening like a door with a real brilliant light coming from inside."
“I felt I could've looked inside if I'd been closer, but I couldn't see any details. It made a high whiny, sing-songy noise. I never heard a sound like that before

"We saw one object come from the south going in a northerly direction," Ree said. "This was the second one, and it was a little lower than the first. We watched these two for maybe a half hour.

“Then a third one came from the north going south, and that was the lowest one of all. We could see different colored lights on it. That one stayed in the air for approximately ten or fifteen minutes, just moving, sort of doing a jig, going up and down, making a big ‘U’ and going up and down again.

"We had two more cars on U.S. 2 in the northern part of Ashland County and I was transmitting to the deputies in that location. Two deputies were watching from a fire tower on Birch Hill and another, Drolson, was northwest of them on Lake Superior when one of these objects we were watching took off at a very high rate of speed.

“I radioed to Drolson and told him, 'It's going your way,' and all of a sudden he said, 'I see it coming–' and his radio went blank..
