Weyauwega UFO Photos

In February 2003, a woman and her son watched a UFO pass overhead in Weyauwega, a small Wisconsin town about fifty miles west of Green Bay. The woman happened to have a camera in hand and snapped two shots, capturing an image which seems to depict the underside of a saucer-shaped craft bearing three triangular-spaced white lights and dimmer red light set off from the others.

I just remember my son asking me over and over what it was, and I didn’t have a clue.

A recent post at UFO Insight brought this intriguing 2003 story and its accompanying photos to our attention. According to the original report in UFO Roundup (Vol. 8., No. 9, 2003), the photographer asked to remain anonymous, but she did relate the story of how she acquired the photographs.

The anonymous woman reported, “My son and I were visiting a friend of mine in Weyauwega, Wis. (population 1,806). The general location was just north of Main Street on the east side of Highway 110 and south of the Wisconsin Central Railroad tracks. My boy was sledding in the snow, and I was taking pictures. It was in the evening and starting to get dark pretty quickly. My son pointed up to the sky, and we noticed some lights coming in from what I believe was the southwest.”

Her son wanted to know what the object was. It must have been moving silently because, initially, she assumed it was some type of balloon. Fortunately, she had been taking photographs with a digital camera—probably photos of her son sledding in the snow. She already had it in hand as the lights approached.

I just pointed the camera and took shots … As the object passed, I could make out more of a disk shape than a balloon shape.

“At this point, I just pointed the camera and took shots. The object really gave us the impression of a balloon, except for the lights. The object passed almost directly overhead and then headed south towards the train tracks. As the object passed, I could make out more of a disk shape than a balloon shape. I just remember my son asking me over and over what it was, and I didn’t have a clue.”

Usually a clear picture of a UFO or Flying Saucer is a clear indication of a hoax. People have been creating fake UFO pictures since July 1947, not more than a week after national newspapers picked up the first flying saucer story. Ever since then, reliable witnesses tend to produce poor quality pictures whereas sharp, clear pictures that look too good to be true almost always turn out to be hoaxes and publicity stunts. I hope that rule does not apply in the case of the Weyauwega, WI pictures. Since the woman who saw the UFO asked to remain anonymous, it’s hardly a publicity stunt. It would be nice to believe that, for once, someone caught a UFO on film.

If anyone in Weyauwega knows more about the original witnesses or how to contact them, let us know at UFOdays.net. It’s been 17 years. Maybe the mother and son are ready to be identified.
