1999-08-13 - Near the Wisconsin Dells, WI - Triangle

Three rotating lights inside of a cloud, configured in a triangle shape, emit colored beams of light.

Driving west along I-90, either near or past the Wisconsin Dells, my partner and I witnessed three rotating white lights, roughly forming a triangle in shape, that were imbedded inside of a cloud to the north and east of the highway. On this night, the clouds were low and puffy, with many openings between clouds that the sky could be seen. The object was definitely above the clouds or at least inside of a cloud. We noticed this for about 2 or 3 minutes. Then, the object emitted colored (bluish-green, and pinkish-red) beams of light that went out from the object and crossed the highway out toward the west and south. Unlike a laser, the beams of light propagated across the sky somewhat slowly; not at all like a normal laser light that moves at the speed of light!. It probably emitted about 5 or so beams before we drove so far west on the highway that we could no longer see it.
