I was driving eastbound on "Z" and I saw a large gray oval flying very low in the distance, barely above the trees flying northbound.

On July 23, 2024 at approximately 8:15 PM I was driving eastbound on county road Z in Marathon County, Wisconsin. Well before I approached the intersection of county road Z and county road J I saw a very large gray oval in the sky, travelling northbound barely above the treetops. I exclaimed "I see a UFO" and my 9 year old nephew in the backseat also saw it.

I am estimating that the UFO was up to 40 feet tall, and 75 feet long. It never changed course, so I have no idea how wide it may have been. There were no lights visible. It was light gray in color, and the lower 20% of the object was a darker gray. I could clearly see the shape of the object, but it seemed like all around the object there was a vapor mist all around it.

I was between 1/4 to 1/2 a mile away from the object, so I was not close at all, however I could clearly see it as it moved fast, maybe 60-80 MPH over the trees/fields. It was flying very low to the ground, and was barely above the treetops and I could see it very well against the overcast sky.

As I was driving, I lost sight of it as I continued driving, however my nephew could still see it flying to the north, "a gray oval with no lights" until it flew out of his view as well.
