ELMWOOD, WI – It was hot (as usual for the last weekend in July) for the Elmwood 45th Annual UFO Days Celebration, but it was “Out of this world” again with lots of visitors who came to the Village that has had more Unidentified Flying Object (UFO), sightings than Roswell, New Mexico has. Interestingly the United States government changed from the term UFOs to UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon) last July of 2023 as it opened some of its previously closed “Classified” files on this interesting topic. I don’t think Elmwood has any intention of changing the name of its popular annual celebration to “UAP Days.”
As Elmwood has embraced its 45 years of UFO Days Celebrations, more attention (even a New York Times article published in 2023) brings visitors to come to this normally quiet Western Wisconsin Village of 820 earth bound souls. It this special weekend only that you can get a tasty UFO burger of UFO brat along with other delicious food items to be found at UFO Days.
This year had a unique presentation at the Pierce County Historical Association (PCHA), Elmwood Branch with a featured display entitled,” In the News: Elmwood’s UFOs.” This insightful history displays featured news of the past Elmwood UFO sightings with local newspaper clippings from the 1970’s and 80’s. This included the infamous Elmwood UFO Landing Pad Proposal that never quite “got off the ground.”
