Round UFO seen in Wisconsin in 1967

Summary

In March 1967, a witness in Farmington, Wisconsin, reported seeing a round object about 20 yards in diameter with a reddish or orange color. The object appeared at a height of 800 feet, moved eastward, then returned to its original position before disappearing quickly over the western horizon. The sighting lasted 15 minutes and was observed by both a civilian and military personnel. Weather conditions were clear with no significant wind, which facilitated the observation.

The Air Force neither confirmed nor denied the sighting, but other observers, including military personnel, reported seeing a large silver object that appeared bigger than a star. Although there was no physical evidence or photographs, the report concluded that the object was likely Venus, which was setting on the horizon at the time. However, the description of the object's movement and size caused some confusion, leading to further consideration of other possibilities.
