The whole article:
“An ‘unidentified flying object,’ that dropped sparks and flaming debris
near I-90 and Highway N interchange north of town was reported to police Sunday
night [21 January 1968] by Mrs. W. W. Knipfer, Route 1.
The UFO, which Mrs. Knipfer stated was in the shape of a triangle,
had followed the Knipfer car along I-90 from Janesville about
7 p.m., and after appearing as though it might hit the car when it turned into the Knipfer driveway, near the east shore of Lake Kegonsa, crossed the Yahara River to the east and seemed to land north of the Oscar Berge farm.

With Mrs. Knipfer were her two daughters, Ida and Stephanie, Mrs.
Ferdinand Kortte and daughter Judy.
When Officer Robert Shaffer of the county patrol, arrived, together with
three Dvorak children, Richard, Jr., Marcia, and David, who had heard the alert
on the police radio, the object seemed to fade away. Attempts by Officer
Shaffer to locate others who might have seen the phenomenon have proved
fruitless so far, he reports.”
My comment:
This is a solid UFO case. Nine people sighted the triangle-shaped UFO –
including a police officer.
