Flying Saucer Sighted in Wisconsin 1947

Summary

In July 1947, a pilot in Wisconsin observed an object descending vertically through clouds. The saucer stopped at 4000 feet, assumed a horizontal position, and flew for 15 seconds covering 25 miles before disappearing. The sighting lasted only a few minutes and was reported by both military and civilian sources. Although the pilot observed the object from the air, no photos were taken and the object was not clearly identified. Investigators concluded there was insufficient information to determine its nature.

The official report marked that there was not enough data to evaluate the direction or type of object. No formal case was recorded and the file indicates there was no additional information in the archives. Despite this, the pilot's testimony adds another case to the history of UFO sightings in the 1940s, where the lack of concrete evidence made any definitive analysis difficult.
