Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It was huge, I'd guess the size of a football field, though it was hard to guess because it was so far away. It had 3 golden lights on it that stayed in the almost perfect form of a triangle.

Size of Object(s)

It would have been about 2 inches across from our distance away, and my guess is 100 yards across.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

I'd say it was at least 1-3 miles away.

Description of Area / Surroundings

It was rural. Corn fields. I don't know of any military bases or power plants.

Full Description & Details

My friend Valerie and I were driving back from Oshkosh, WI to Green Lake, WI on HWY 44 during the late evening. It was a cloudy night, with a few stars poking through here or there. I had just gotten my first cell phone a few days before hand, and I was constantly playing on it (Val was driving).

Valerie had said "OH MY GOD! WHAT THE F&$* IS THAT!?" and I glanced up and looked left to right for only a brief second before my eyes spotted it.

About an inch from the horizon (which was over a mile away) there were three lights in the sky in the form of a triangle. It looked to be HUGE and far away. I would have thought nothing of it, except for the extremely gold color of the lights themselves. I'd never seen anything like it, and I don't know if I'll ever see that oddly colored light ever again.

I attempted to take a video or picture with my cell phone, but seeing as it was from 2005, I was unable to capture it. It stayed on the horizon and didn't move for about a minute and a half before slowly fading away, each light in unison. There was a semi and we pondered whether or not to attempt to get the driver to pull over so he could back up each other's stories.

No one we told believed us, but we still talk about it till this day.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Absolutely not. I've never seen a color like that before. It was both beautiful and horrifying.

Witness Background

I've graduated high school. I've worked in telecommunications for 6 years, and have been the Training Manager for over 4 of those.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I've always been a watching of shows, but have never seen an actual UFO before. I made sure to watch the lights closely to see if they were possibly flares, but they kept the same shape throughout the 1-2 minutes.
