"Gotta be aliens": Mysterious Wisconsin lights spark UFO speculation online

Rural areas of Wisconsin have spotted unexplained lights in the sky and speculations of alien activity have begun making the rounds.

The lights are reported to be darting across the sky in swift motions and in random directions. People have chalked up the lights to being a part of unidentified flying objects or UFOs across farmlands in Fredonia and West Bend in the Badger State.

Some users who saw Daily Loud's tweets were convinced that the lights were a part of alien activity and have responded to the tweets with their own claims.

UFO debate arises after Wisconsin locals see mysterious lights darting across the sky

On December 1, 2022, a Wisconsin local, Kimberly and her husband were driving back home when they spotted a bright light in the sky. At first, the couple thought it was a white owl, but were soon convinced otherwise.

Kimberly explained that the light moved from the top right side of the trees to the car headlights before it went up to the left. She said that the lights went around them thrice, and that was when the couple agreed that the phenomenon couldn't be explained. Following this, they began taking videos of the lights in the sky.

Another Wisconsin native, Ken, who was five miles away from Kimberly who was in Fredonia, also reported seeing something similar. Ken said that he saw four lights moving towards the horizon before a fifth light joined them. He added that the five lights then continued to move in the same direction.

Several people online are convinced that the lights are coming from alien activity, and although UFOs can mean anything unidentified, people are sure that they belong to extra terrestrial beings.

Meanwhile, others have plausible explanations about the lights and none of them are close to any kind of alien activity.

Another plausible explanation, similar to the ones above, was given by investigator and columnist Mick West. He mentioned that the lights are a part of the new Christmas decorations put up by a Wisconsin local church.

Tweeting about the same, he asked about the lights after he heard about them, and learnt that the Holy Cross Church of Belgium, Wisconsin, had added the lights to their Christmas display.

In a series of tweets, he said the Christmas lights might not have been part of the church but were near it and still gave the same result. He said that the lights, regardless of where they came from were directly in the line of sight.
