[WISCONSIN] Are these the best UFO photos of all time?

These photos have always struck me as compelling: two different cases, similar craft, in the same area, four years apart.

Case #1 : February 1st, 2003, Weyauwega, Wisconsin.

Anonymous female witness, details of the incident:

Were visiting a friend of mine in Weyauwega. I am reluctant to reveal the exact location out of concern for my friend’s privacy as well as my own. However the general location is just North of Main street on the East side of 110 and South of the train tracks. My boy was sledding in the snow and I was taking pictures. It was in the evening and was starting to get dark pretty quickly. My son pointed up to the sky and we noticed some lights coming in from what I believe is the south west. At that point I just pointed the camera up and took the shots. The object really gave me the impression of a balloon – except for the lights. They seemed to cycle all different patterns. The object passed almost directly overhead (picture 1) and then headed south towards the train tracks (picture 2). As the object passed I could make out more of a disk shape than a balloon shape. I just remember my son asking me over and over what it was and I didn’t have a clue.

Original description:

Here’s a couple of photo’s of what I think is the same object as the Weyauwega ufo.

As I’ve now gotten quite a few photos in my investigations and most are just dust and lense flairs, this one intrigues me.

An email contact of mine sent them. She asserts her Husband took them a few weeks ago (around the first week of January) in Wisconsin near Green Bay. I reserve judgement but I will say it is very similar…

Thoughts:

In my opinion, if these photos are indeed fake, it seems that there are only two plausible explanations. The first possibility is that they have been expertly manipulated using Photoshop, showcasing a high level of skill. The second option, though less probable, suggests that an object was propelled into the air with lights attached. However, this second scenario appears less likely due to the apparent size of the object and its positioning behind the branches, seemingly high up in the sky.

​

Metabunk’s attempt at debunking them suggests that they could be doable using Photoshop, but that doesn’t mean they are fake:

Would be nice to have more information from the original witnesses.
