Red UFO seen over Milwaukee in 1957

Summary

A round red object was sighted in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on November 6, 1957. According to the report, the object appeared on the southeast horizon, larger than a star, and did not match known objects like balloons, aircraft, or astronomical phenomena. A guard on duty noticed it due to its brightness, but no further clear details were recorded. The observation lasted between 5 and 8 minutes, and several military personnel reported it, though no images or additional data were obtained. Investigators concluded there was insufficient information to evaluate the event.

The report includes several inconsistencies and uncertainties, such as the unexplained mention of "Alamo" and the lack of weather or wind data. Additionally, it was suggested that the witness might have been influenced by another similar case receiving media attention at the time. Despite multiple categories being considered, the object could not be identified with certainty, and the case remains unresolved.
