The following article is my own, and so was the reasearch which went into
it. It is copyrighted and cannot be quoted beyond the usual word count

I would appreciate anyone reading it who has downloaded the pictures of
trianular craft to e mail me the JPegs or giffs or whatever they are.
I can't seem to download them from Usenet! I would love to see the ones
that were posted in the last week. Your cooperation would be gratefully

Here's the article:-

        TRIANGULAR UFOS AND NOCTURNAL LIGHTS IN SE WISCONSIN

        During the recent UFO flap in South Eastern Wisconsin six videos were
taken of n
octurnal lights. Many reports came into the news-desks of the local networks.
It
was through them that I was able to make contact with some area residents who
saw
 strange objects in the evening sky, or video taped them in the night sky. At
fir
st everyone was saying how these lights and objects must be the planet Venus.
Ven
us was the most prominent light in the evening during February when most of
the r
eports came in.

        Due to its prominence it is pretty easy to see why Investigators would
want desp
erately to rule out Venus from possible UFO sightings. This was pretty easy to
do
 because Venus was always to be found in only one specific quadrant of the
night
sky and quite obviously a star-like light. However, many of the nocturnal
lights
witnessed were either not in the position of any known bright star or planet,
nor
 did they behave like stars and planets do.

        The lights and objects seen in Wisconsin moved by changing positions,
strobed in
 strange sequences, shined down beams of light, had higher luminescence than
star
s or were revealed on video tape to be objects and not stars or planets at all.

        Also, eye-witness accounts of sightings strongly suggest that several
differentl
y shaped craft were operating in SE Wisconsin starting in late December.
Videos w
ere shot of moving or hovering unidentified lit-objects in Beaver Dam,
Hustisford
, N. Milwaukee, and Ft. Atkinson, WI. Sightings came in from all over SE
Wisconsi
n.  A triangular object was observed crossing a high-way near Ft. Atkinson,
WI.,
and video-taped. The triangular craft (or crafts?) is the one type being
reported
 which, in the following cases, rules out Venus as a solution to what is being
se
en.

           A report of a black triangular craft with lights on it came from
two W
aukesha Patrol Officers. It is unclear what went on during the investigation
of t
he Waukesha sightings. There was more than this one, but the officers felt
rebuff
ed by the investigative team, as was learned from Lt.  Marks of the Waukesha
Poli
ce. The two officers described what they had observed. Part of their call-in
was
also aired on Channel 12 news, which is where I heard it. What they saw was
ident
ical to a Cedarburg craft. Waukesha is about 15 miles West of Milwaukee.

           The first report about a triangular craft to surface in our area
invol
ved a young man returning home to the suburban community of Cedarburg around 9
PM
. Hovering just above a Cedarburg water-tank off Wawatosa and Sherman Av;  the
yo
ung man, who did not give his name to the police, described a large, black UFO
wi
th bright lights at each point . It had a bank of brilliant white lights on
one s
ide, nine in all. His phone call was recorded by the Cedarburg Police
Department
and part of it was aired on the evening news on 2/4/93. I spoke at length with
Po
lice Chief George Rees about the February 1st sighting. His department was
very c
oncerned over the sighting. Two of his officers witnessed bright beams of
light f
rom the vicinity of the sighting, but made nothing of it until learning of the
yo
ung man's report. This object was seen by him from several directions. From
the E
ast looking West, from the North looking South, in his rear-view mirror, and
from
 over his shoulder out of his rear window. The sighting lasted the length of
his
ride through Cedarburg, due to the placement of the water tower on the side of
a
high hill.  In Beaver Dam a young man, out searching for UFOs, was hit by a
beam
of bright white light  from a 'V' shaped object. This was February 4, 1993.
This
report is just now being investigated.

        The fourth sighting of a triangular object took place on Highway 12
and Star Sch
ool Road between the towns of Whitewater and Ft. Atkinson, WI. This is the
most d
etailed report of a sighting I was able to get. This investigation is
on-going, s
ince sightings in their area continue unabated.

        One of the interesting features of the sightings has been
repeatability. There i
s a tendency for percipients to obsess on UFOs once they have had a sighting.
Alm
ost every person I interviewed in regard to their initial sighting has had
others
. In the case of the Ft. Atkinson sighting, there has been five additional
sighti
ngs of oddly behaving nocturnal lights.

        Kevin Crump and his Grandmother Betty Barnick own an antique
dealership in the t
own of Delevan, WI. They travel home by Hywy 12 most often between the hours
of 5
:00 and 7:30 PM on a daily basis. On February 4th 1993, Kevin and Betty were
retu
rning home to FT. Atkinson via Route 12 at 5:35 PM. Kevin carries with him in
his
 car an RCA Camcorder. With it he likes to tape anything that is newsworthy,
plus
 he makes short, creative videos with his friends. On the way home at  about
5:30
 they spotted a fire-engine and decided to look for whatever was on fire. Both
Be
tty and Kevin were carefully watching for lights or the fire when Kevin
spotted s
omething in the sky, from the driver's side window. "We thought at first that
it
was a low flying plane. Then all of a sudden it shot out a blue glowing ball
from
 the tail-end of the craft. It looked like a flame ball from a Roman candle.
It s
hot out about two inches, in ground to sky distance, with a trail of twinkling
li
ghts. The blue ball just hung in the sky over the old school to our left."
They p
ulled off the road to get a better look.

        Kevin then got out his video camera and opened the door while Betty
decided to s
tay in the car. Kevin said, "I looked up and saw  the ship just about directly
ov
erhead. I could see a faint outline of the ship because the moon was above it.
Th
e moonlight reflected off the black metallic surface. It was the shape of an
oblo
ng triangle with a light at each point. A red and a blue light at the front
and a
 white light at the back. " An unusual feature of this craft is that it
traveled
with the base forward, instead of the point first as with most conventional
craft
. Kevin then tried to "film"  the UFO but realized that he hadn't attached the
ba
ttery pack to the camera. He ran to the back of the car where it was stored,
retr
ieved it, attached it and aimed to where the object had been, but it had moved
of
f to a considerable distance.


        "It was heading toward Whitewater. I aimed the camera towards the ship
and start
ed taping. I filmed the triangular craft first. Then I took a close-up of the
blu
e ball that the ship shot out." Kevin and Betty then started to drive off when
Be
tty yelled, "Pull over, it's turning around!"  Kevin quickly turned onto Star
Sch
ool Road and headed East a short distance. He went passed a farm and over a
hill
to a clearing on a curve. He pulled off the road. "There it was in the sky,
and i
t was not alone. There was another bright light below it above the trees. It
was
a tremendous bright light, brighter than any star or planet in the sky. There
was
 a flashing light way up high. At first I thought it was a plane, there were
plan
es in the area at this time. But I realized that it might be the blue ball
that s
hot out of the ship." Kevin and Betty then left this location at Betty's
insisten
ce and drove into Ft. Atkinson. There, Betty needed to buy groceries and the
two
stopped at the local Sentry. Betty went into the store while Kevin waited in
the
car. He noticed that the light was still there, so taped it again. Jeffery
Sainio
, MUFON Staff Photoanalyst, felt that the strobing of the light captured by
Kevin
 on video was of an unusual nature. He ruled out the possibility of it being
fire
crackers, airplane, and considered it unconventional. He now feels that there
isn
't enough on the video to either eliminate it or to say unequivically that it
sho
ws a UFO. I feel that due to the unusual circumstances of the sighting that it
is
 likely that Kevin Crump and Betty Barnick witnessed a UFO and then attempted
to
video-tape it somewhat successfully.

        Beyond the original tape Kevin made, there have been multiple
witnesses of UFOs
in the Ft. Atkinson area, and strange creature sightings have occurred near
there
 as well. Kevin has taken much more footage of nocturnal lights, some of it
clear
ly showing a triangular light display. We are being kept informed of all that
is
happening there.

        The last report of a triangular UFO just came. It involves a seven
year old boy
who saw a black triangular craft with lights on each of the points, it was
perhap
s 100 feet in length. It projected a white beam of light and vanished in an
insta
nt. This happened in the city of Milwaukee during early February (?) and was
inve
stigated by Don Schmitt, who has the details. This sighting has left the boy
badl
y shaken and has affected his relationship with other, more skeptical children.

             Why people in SE Wisconsin began witnessing UFOs from December
until
 the present remains unknown. Perhaps we were watching the sky more, because
Venu
s was so prominent. The fact is that objects, not just lights were observed.
Ther
e may be natural explanations for these events, or not. Known abductees in our
ar
ea reported increased abductions in January, February, March and April 1993.
In J
anuary a farmer and his grandson saw what he described as "three machines"
hoveri
ng next to a fence across the road from his property. The took off, flew in an
ar
c between his barn, silo and some trees. Hallucination? The planet Venus? An
unkn
own aspect of human psychological make-up? A spiritual phenomena? Actual
crafts f
rom other worlds? Nobody has a clear picture of what these reports mean to
humani
ty. One thing is clear, however, UFOs are being reported and must be accepted
by
researchers as real experiences. UFO events demand scientific analysis and not
sk
eptical derision. Events which leave both physical and mental scarring on
humans
and other species must be taken seriously and not treated in a tongue in cheek
manner.
