I was in northern Wisconsin and a local said we should go to see the Paulding Light north of Watersmeet in the central Upper Peninsula.
There is a light that appears in the woods down an abandoned roadway in the middle of nowhere and a bright light appears several times an hour which is visible all night. The local said it looks like a 727 aircraft landing light coming at you sometimes and it turns colors to red and sometimes blue or green.
We went there expecting a tourist spot. When we drove back into the woods I could not believe my eyes as there was a very bright white light at the spot I was told about. Now, this light was maybe a mile away by appearance and looked as bright as a 727 headlight at times. It bounced around and I took a few digital pictures as did one of the people there.
One of the pictures had a redish center dot with a whitish larger area around it along with a corona flaring from that area.
A person there at the same timetook some digital photos with a more powerfull camera zoom and there was a red dot movement in several directions within the shutter time. There was a corona around the dot movement.
We watched for 1.5 hours, talked to the people there and left. The internet has a bunch of anecdotal information as does this web site which indicates this is thought to be car lights from 4-5 miles away to the northeast. Believe me this light gets so bright and focused at times that it would
take a high intemsity beam to duplicate it. Unless there is a magnifying device focusing something this is not car light reflections from miles away. According to the local who was there, supposely the Highway nearby was closed down in the past to see if some reflection phenomenon was going on and the light still ocurred. The adjacent power line grid was also supposedly shut off at one time to check that effect.
This phenomenon has been going on for at least 40 years and maybe 100 years per the local people.
There is something going on here.....
Any comments or questions are welcome.
There is definitely someting going on here
