Green Bay has the third-highest total of publicly submitted UFO reports among Wisconsin cities in a new local-media ranking. WFRV Local 5 published the analysis on July 11 and updated it July 13, drawing on a Stacker review of records held by the National UFO Reporting Center.
The count lists Milwaukee first with 142 reports, Madison second with 135 and Green Bay third with 67. Kenosha follows with 49, then Racine with 41. The article also lists Oshkosh, Appleton, Waukesha, Janesville and Sheboygan among the state's ten leading cities.
According to WFRV, Stacker counted NUFORC submissions from 1995 onward and excluded entries that named more than one city. That produces a repeatable city-level total, but it does not resolve duplicate witnesses, mistaken locations or differences in how often residents know about and use the reporting system.
These are reports, not confirmed counts of anomalous craft or even unique events. Population, air traffic, weather, satellites, local media attention and willingness to report can all affect a city's total. A raw ranking therefore cannot show that Green Bay's sky is intrinsically more unusual than that of a smaller city with fewer submissions.
The ranking is still useful as a map of public reporting behavior and as an entry point into the underlying records. Its responsible use requires examining individual submissions, dates and possible conventional explanations rather than treating the position on a list as evidence for any one claim.
