Oct 14th, 2003 - about midnight, huge ufo in eastern sky in Trego, WisconsinIt was very huge; sitting silently in the eastern night sky. It was at a complete stop, clouds were going by it, but it remained still. Blue, red and yellow lights flashed across it's front. I could not discern the shape,but it was big - it was above the clouds, above my barn and it appeared to be approximately half as wide as my barn (20 feet). I ran in the house to get my camera; which took me no more than 30 seconds tops, and when I went back outside, it had completely disappeared; I waited for five minutes to see if it would return, but it did not.My dog had been barking which is why I went outside. Earlier in the evening, I had been trying to make calls on my phone and first the calls would not go through, when they finally did. the line was staticy and we were cut-off.Also, approximately two hours earlier, what sounded like a helicopter flew very low over my house. I went outside to see what exactly it was, but I couldn't see anything in the night sky - it was very loud though and scared my dogs.
