Background

At 5:15 a.m., Neillsville, Wisconsin, police officer Chuck Urban was patrolling 12 miles west of town when a bright light approached him on his left. He stopped his squad car, turned off the headlights and took a picture with his camera, which turned out poorly. He heard no sound from the object. The light followed him as he drove back to Neillsville and was so bright that he could see the road plainly; at one point it crossed the road ahead of him for a few miles and then recrossed to the other side. He lost sight of it as he entered town. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
