Distance to Object(s) & Altitudeseveral hundred ft-- not entirely sure Shape of Object(s)sort of like a lollipop on its side w/o the stick Color of Object(s):silver/gray metallic Full Description & Details 1983- After Easter break, my friend and I and my girlfriend (friend driving /girlfriend in back seat) were going back to college at UW-Oshkosh. About 10- 15 miles north of Oshkosh, a large object appeared over the tree line-- just over so I could not see yet that nothing was supporting it. The thought crossed my mind that this rural area was an odd place for a water tower. I watched the thing for a few minutes as we approached it. From my recollection, which unfortunately is a bit less than perfect, it had no lights, windows, or markings of any kind. It was the size and shape of a large water tower, slightly curved on top and bottom. As we got closer, the trees obscuring our view we passed and there it was-in the open. It was hovering very still above a farm house which was just off the highway. I opened my window and as far as I could tell, it was noiseless. My friend slowed down and told me to watch it. I said "there's nothing holding that thing up"-- I was shocked and probably mouth-agape. I told my friend to pull over but he said he couldn't because there was a car right behind us. So we went farther up the road beyond view of the object and turned around which took maybe a minute. We came back to the spot and it was gone. There was no place where it could have hidden so fast considering its size.
