National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 8/25/2012 20:30 (Entered as : 08/25/12 20:30) Reported: 8/27/2012 9:15:14 AM 09:15 Posted: 9/24/2012 Location: Oshkosh, WI Shape: Circle Duration: 2 minutes
An orange object floated at low level and slow from SSE to NNW. An object that I first thought was a “Chinese Lantern” floated from SSE to NNW. It looked like an orange glow or fire at the base of its circular shape. My wife and I discussed whether or not it was a hot air balloon but it was faster than what we thought a balloon would travel. It certainly appeared lower than a satellite or shooting star and slower.
