Saukville UFO Sightings

"As they hovered slowly near the road, the line of lights would slowly form right angles and perfect equliatteral (sic) triangles.  Once in triangle form the whole triangle appeared to rotate very slowly both clockwise and counterclockwise as the lights as a whole sowly (sic) moved northeast closer to the road and eventually right over the road."

Mequon & Cedarburg UFO Sightings

"They are close into the house.  About 5 yards in from the house.  It is freaky.  It is unnatural.  I went out to investigate.  The grass is burnt.  Like white/yellow straw."

Port Washington UFO Sightings

"I was immediately struck by it's seeming closeness to the earth, it's relative silence, and it's almost COMICAL display of two huge single-row banks of lights on either side of it's triangularish front---it looked almost exactly like the row of lights on police cars in these colors: red, clear and blue."

'Luke'
at Leather Strop Ltd

"When Robin Olson works late sometimes he hears creaking footboards overhead. It's usually his wife, Gitta, getting home to their second-floor apartment just above the Leather Strop Salon.   Or maybe it's a visitor to a third-floor flat.  Then again it could be "Luke," a reclusive but congenial phantasm Olson says has inhabited the sprawling, fortress-like brick house with entrances on Main Street and Buntrock Avenue for 30 years."

"The breakwater is a pedestrian friendly pier (during nice weather) that jets out into Lake Michigan to form the northern barrier that protects the marina from the Nor’easters. The 1930’s Art Deco lighthouse, at the end of the breakwater, is a beacon with a foghorn to bring home the boaters. While out on the breakwater, turn around to take into view the majestic steeples that reign over the city landscape."

"The Cedarburg Mill was built by Cedarburg founders Frederick Hilgen and William Schroeder in 1855 at a cost of $22,000 and was considered one of the finest mills in the midwest. The lower walls are 32 inches thick. The design is Greek revival. The clearstory and monitor roof were popular with eastern mills at the time since they added light and ventilation. This building replaced an earlier one built by Hilgen and Schroeder in 1844. Note that the main part of the building is 5 stories high. The section to the left is of the same style as the main section, but is not as high. Cranes had not yet been invented in 1855, so an incline several blocks long was built to carry material to the upper levels."

"This bridge was built by the Town of Cedarburg on petition of neighboring farmers to replace periodically washed out bridges. Pine logs, cut and milled at Baraboo, were fitted and set in place in lattice truss construction with 3 x 10 inch planks secured by 2 inch hardwood pins, eliminating the use of nails or bolts, and floored by 3 inch planking. The Ozaukee County Board in 1940 voted to assume the preservation and maintenance of this bridge."
