I know there are plenty of you out there who think about UFOs pretty much year round, but with Halloween fast approaching, many people who’ve never even seen an episode of The X-Files start getting alien-obsessed. Well, both of you groups should like this …

Hurtling towards us at the speed of awesome is UFO Wisconsin’s more or less interactive “UFO Reports by County” map. It details Wisconsin UFO reports. By county. The last sighting they have for Eau Claire County is 2005, but Chippewa County has an ’08 sighting.

I believe all the reports listed are made directly to UFO Wisconsin and they’re … well, many of them sound kinda crazy. They’re just straight up reports from people like you and me, and they run the gamut from “weird lights moving fast in the distance” to “aliens visit my backyard all the time.” For me, believability isn’t really part of the equation. It’s just fun to hear your neighbors talk about this stuff.

UFO Wisconsin has a book out with a forward from our good buddy Chad Lewis, who does this terrific blog.
