In 1976, police officer George Wheeler reported encountering a massive UFO and being struck by a beam of light that knocked him to the ground. Six months later, he was dead. Other witnesses reported unusual activity surrounding the encounter, adding further intrigue to an already remarkable case. Even more compelling, Wheeler’s experience was part of a broader wave of UFO sightings reported throughout Elmwood, Wisconsin before and after that night. What was happening over this quiet Midwestern town? And could Wheeler’s mysterious encounter have somehow contributed to his untimely death?
