I was biking with my dog west bound on Ivy Ave. behind Sussex on the main store complex. As I was proceeding I noticed an orange light in the sky moving very slow like a helicopter coming out the south. It was about at 230 degrees from my west bound position. It was not making any noise I could here. It was moving slow then made a turn to the west and appeared to start climbing and accelerating. From that moment in a matter of seconds it went out of sight. Then another object came out the south following the same path as the first object and exited to the west in the same way the first object did.

I may add I am a private pilot and notice aircraft all the time when I am outside. This object that I witnessed was not an aircraft of any kind I have ever seen. The fact that I could not hear the object was very strange. Also the acceleration to the west was very unusual. There were two teenagers on bikes that were passing by going east bound and turned around to see what I was watching. They noticed the object was unusual and asked me what that was. I said to them, "I don’t know but it is not an airplane." I could not see the objects shape or size due to bright orange light. Also, I could not estimate the altitude or distance either. But to give a comparison I thought it could be a helicopter at about 2000 feet, but there were no strobe lights and no red and green marker lights flashing, just an orange light.

This was sighted at 21:30 cst in Sussex Wi.
