Madison, Wisconsin - A 22-year-old downtown resident told Madison Police he spotted a mysterious unidentified flying object Thursday, April 16 at James Madison Park.

He said he was in James Madison Park, 314 E. Gorham St., at around 7 p.m., when he saw a strange object in the sky that alarmed him.

He described the object as similar to "the top of a big water tower," only wider and larger. The object flew about 1,000 feet above the tree line and appeared to land behind a grove of trees, he said.

Police were unaware of similar reports.
