UFO Sighting? Strange Lights Reported in Pewaukee

Local man claims he saw three strange lights fade across the sky Tuesday night in Pewaukee.

Did you see the strange lights in Pewaukee last night?

A local man is reporting on a blog UFONews that he saw what appeared to be a star moving slowly across the sky before it faded out. The incident happened not just once, but three times, prompting the man to question what he saw.

“I'm not good at judging distances but whatever it was was VERY far away,” wrote Christopher Stokes. “From our perspective it seemed to be moving slow, but I'm betting the distance it crossed was many miles in a short period of time. I'm certain this was not a plane.”

“I wonder if anyone else saw the UFO that night, it was so close and lit up the area so brightly,” wrote the woman, only identified as Lori M. “I wonder why would a UFO be lit up like a Christmas tree, you would think it would want to be a little more stealthy, it was as though it wanted to be seen. Years later I started hearing about abductions and lost time, and now I wonder was it only ten minutes?”
