Nancy, 22, and her boyfriend Jim were camping at Phantom lake with another couple and the couple's child. Nancy and Jim, who had just settled in the camper for the night, were awakened by a bright light coming through the back window. Then the door of the camper suddenly opened. 

They saw a bright saucer-shaped object that was about to land, zigzagging down. The glowing object then spewed about 20 figures of men to the ground as they slowly approached the camper. 

One was black,the other looked like a Swami standing on one leg with the other leg wrapped around his head. A disembodied face appeared in the van, telling them not to be afraid. 

About seven men were standing in a semicircle 10 feet (3 m) from the van door. One of the seven men had dark curly hair, wore blue jeans and a red checked shirt, and carried a German shepherd on a leash in each hand. 

The group of figures stood there for about 10 minutes, silently looking at the witnesses who cowered in horror in the van. The man was carrying a scroll. Three other creatures, different from the others, only four feet tall (1.2 m), came out of the "spaceship"and moved very quickly around the area, "just like running". They seemed to glow whitish-green. One of them was sitting in a tree. 

While this strange crowd was still present, Jim jumped out of the campsite and alerted their friends sleeping in a tent nearby. They were unable to understand what all this excitement was about, being unable to see either the "spaceship" or any of the creatures. 

Jim shoved them into the camper, collected all their belongings, found his dog, and with another couple driving, they drove away. 

On the way back to Milwaukee, the couple in the back of the camper experienced all sorts of strange phenomena, including seeing a gloved hand, being present, and Nancy and Jim experienced a tantrum. The other couple didn't notice anything unusual and thought their friends were crazy. In fact, upon their return, they were taken directly to the entrance of the emergency hospital.

Original news

Date: October 14 1973
Location: Phantom Lake Wisconsin
Time:  night
Summary: Nancy, 22 and her boyfriend Jim were camping at Phantom Lake with another couple and the couple’s baby; Nancy and Jim, just settled down in the camper for the night, were awakened by a bright light shining through the back window. Then the camper door suddenly burst open. They saw a bright saucer shaped object about to land, descending in a zigzag motion; on the ground, the glowing object then disgorged a variety of about 20 figures, male, who approached the camper slowly. One appeared to be a black man; a second was similar to a swami, standing on one leg with his other leg wrapped around his head. A disembodied face appeared in the camper telling them not to be afraid. About seven of the men stood in a semi-circle 10 feet away form the van door. One of the seven men had dark curly hair and was dressed in blue jeans and a red plaid shirt; he held a German shepherd in each hand by a leash. The group of figures stood there for about 10 minutes staring silently at the witnesses, who cowered inside the van in great fright. A man carried a scroll. Three more beings, different from the others and only four-foot tall, came out of the “space ship” and moved about the area very quickly, “just sort of running around.” They seemed to glow a whitish green color. One of these perched in a tree. While this strange assemblage was still present, Jim jumped out of the camper and alerted their friends, asleep in a tent nearby. They were unable to understand what all the excitement was about, being unable to see either “spaceship” or any of the beings. Jim hustled them into the camper, collected all their belongings, found his dog and, with the other couple driving, they took off. En route back to Milwaukee, the couple in the rear of the camper experienced all sorts of odd phenomena, including a glove hand apparition, a presence, and both Nancy and Jim experienced hysteria. The other couple perceived nothing unusual, and believed their friends crazy. They were taken, in fact, directly to an emergency hospital entrance upon return.
