A red object over Waukesha

Summary

A civilian in Waukesha, Wisconsin, reported seeing a round object the size of a baseball, orange in color, with a hazy film trailing behind it. The object appeared to hover at about half a mile in the air before moving overhead. The witness stopped their car to observe it and tried to restart the engine, but it wouldn't start. The car worked again after the object disappeared. Although the possibility of an aircraft was considered, the unusual behavior of the object left room for speculation.

The observation lasted three minutes, and the object moved in an atypical way. Despite no photos or physical evidence being collected, the report concluded there was insufficient data for a definitive evaluation. The witness was asked to complete a form for more details, but it was never returned. The case remains open, with a note that the object had no connection to the car's failure.
