UFO sightings over Brown County are coming into the Sheriff's office and the state highway patrol. Sheriff Charles Ernst said his office has received five calls reporting UFOs and the state highway patrol reported three. Ernst said that in all cases, deputies have been dispatched to the areas where the sightings were reported. The first call came from Bill Germann who reported he had seen the object while at a farm along Gooselick Pike. A short time later a report came from the state experiment farm.
