Elmwood, Wisconsin sightings

A run of unexplained lights and objects in the mid-1970s made the village of Elmwood, Wisconsin, a UFO town; a federal 'UFO Working Group' later looked at the Elmwood sightings, according to Howard Blum's 1990 book Out There.

1975 CE · 44.78, -92.15 · status: claim

The account

The village still holds UFO Days each July, and residents once proposed building a UFO landing port.

The sceptical view

The best-known details, including a police officer's close encounter, rest on later retellings rather than investigated records.
