Chad Lewis Presents A History of the UFO in Wisconsin Posted: 14 Jun 2014 04:30 AM PDT What’s that up in the sky? It’s ... well, an unidentified flying object. The term “UFO” is commonly associated with alien spaceships. In reality, a UFO is simply something in the sky that cannot be identified. It could be a satellite, a planet, a top-secret government aircraft, even an inter-dimensional object. Author and paranormal investigator Chad Lewis has had a profound interest in the supernatural since he was a teenager. Growing up in Eau Claire, Lewis heard about mysterious sightings in the nearby village of Elmwood, and after talking to witnesses, he was hooked. “I was really curious of what makes somebody believe in the strange and unusual, and why somebody else does not,” Lewis said. Since then, Lewis earned a master’s degree in psychology and travels the country in search of the strange and mystifying: UFOs, ghosts, haunted houses, crop circles, Big Foot, the Loch Ness Monster – if it’s unexplainable, Lewis has researched it. Lewis has published many books from his research. His “Road Guide to Haunted Location” series provides stories, history, and directions to allegedly haunted sites from various states. His "Hidden Headlines" series displays bizarre newspaper clippings from various states. “After twenty years of doing this, I’m left with more questions than answers,” Lewis said. “Every time I think I get a theory to explain something, I get a new case and it puts me right back to square one.” Lewis will be presenting a lecture, “UFOs of Wisconsin” at the Winneconne Public Library on Tuesday, June 17, at 7 p.m. The free presentation is appropriate for all ages and will discuss the history of supernatural phenomena in the state, spanning from the 1800s to today. The lecture is just one stop in Lewis’ Midwest tour. Attendees will not only hear about UFO stories from Wisconsin’s history, but will also be presented with visual examples of what witnesses have seen and experienced. “What the audience is basically going to get is a road trip throughout history of the most unusual UFO events in Wisconsin,” Lewis said. The presentation will last about an hour, including a Q&A session. Lewis loves hearing new stories. He claims to get about 200 reports every week from people throughout the country. “Since the beginning of time people have been seeing weird things in the sky, and nobody’s solved it yet,” Lewis said. “Maybe we’ll never solve it. I don’t know.”
