📝 Description
Wisconsin has long been a hotspot for UFO reports. The 2022 Milwaukee Patch piece stated locals had reported over 2,000 UFO sightings to NUFORC since the center's founding. More recent NUFORC-based reporting indicates Wisconsin has about 2,544 sightings in total since 1947, reflecting ongoing public submissions and interest around World UFO Day.
🔍 Circumstances
Counts come from the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) public database. There is no single event; the article references statewide tallies and examples of individual sightings across Wisconsin. The World UFO Day context is mentioned by Patch in 2022 to frame the discussion.
ℹ️ Additional Details
World UFO Day is July 2. The numbers are based on self-reported NUFORC submissions; some reports may be explainable (e.g., drones, satellites) while others remain unexplained. The latest figure cited by sources places Wisconsin's total at 2,544 sightings since 1947 (as of late 2025).
