📝 Description
The Weyauwega, Wisconsin daytime/nighttime disc-shaped UFO incident (February 1, 2003) involves an anonymous mother and her son who witnessed a solid, disc-shaped craft with a triangular pattern of lights on its underside. They photographed the object with a low-end digital camera as it moved silently overhead before disappearing into the distance. The sighting is part of a broader 2003 Wisconsin wave of reports documented by UFO Wisconsin and publicized by local media (e.g., OnMilwaukee). In later years, researchers (notably UFO Insight in 2020) highlighted the triangular lighting pattern and the lack of conclusive evidence, emphasizing no official investigation has publicly confirmed the sighting. The case remains unexplained and is cited among Wisconsin’s notable UFO encounters.

Witnessed by a mother and her son in Weyauwega, Wisconsin, on the late afternoon/early evening of February 1, 2003.
