The Elmwood UFO Incident: A Police Officer’s Terrifying Close Encounter

In this episode of Just Another Tin Foil Hat with Zelia Edgar, we uncover one of the most extraordinary UFO cases in Midwestern history. On a quiet night in Elmwood, Wisconsin, police officer George Wheeler was on routine patrol when something incredible interrupted the calm. Spotting an orange glow near the Tuttle Hill quarry, Wheeler assumed it was a fire — until he got closer. What he saw would shake him to his core. As he reached higher ground, his voice crackled over the radio with a chilling message: “My God, it’s one of those UFOs again.”

This episode dives deep into the 1976 Elmwood UFO incident — a case that baffled law enforcement, captivated local residents, and left behind strange physical evidence that remains unexplained to this day. From Wheeler’s first sighting to the aftermath that turned Elmwood into a UFO hotspot, Zelia explores how one man’s encounter helped shape Wisconsin’s lasting fascination with the unknown.

👽 Listen now and discover why Elmwood remains one of America’s most famous UFO towns — where mystery still hangs heavy in the night sky.
