Light over Brooklyn Park, MN

The report, as filed
A very bright orange light came towards my 2nd story bedroom window. It got close, then changed direction and slowly disappeared!

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

Heard booming sounds like thunder, but rapid; nearly constant. Witnessed 1 flash of light to the west. Watched sky after it ended. Fast moving light shot by going in direction of the booms. Flying about airplane height, but VERY fast.

Seen traveling west at low altitude. Had a cigar shape and slight dome on top visible because it was reflecting so much light. I know planes very well, and watch the skies daily. Never seen something like this before. It headed straight west and disappeared into the clouds. All this took place in a matter of 20 to 30 seconds. Pulled over and checked my flight radar app, nothing close to that size within 100 miles or more. No sound. No lights and it appears to be all metallic as it was reflecting so much light. Friend compared it to a B-2 flying off and me looking at it from back. Possible, but highly unlikely a B-2 flies so low over Minneapolis metro area.

There was a storm today in Minnesota and a grandfather figure of mine and myself love watching storms so we were hanging out in his garage to observe. Occasionally stepping out to observe the sky better. We stepped out to look more and were focused on a morning dove on the power line. But then we saw this strange, black object gliding across the sky. There was no sound, no visible lights, it did not look like any known object to me or the person with me, it was clearly not a weather balloon, and it was under the storm clouds. It seemed to be just a black sphere-like object, but then it made a slight turn (or it was spinning the whole time) and we saw curves on it and it had a metallic silver color on it as well. We kept our eyes focused on it as long as we could until it got too far away for us to see. Immediately afterwards, rain started pouring on us. It's almost as if it was riding straight in front of the storm. My grandfather figure used to be a helicopter engineer for many years and he said that in his fifty-four years of living that he has never seen an object shaped like that in the sky. The way it glided across like nothing and made absolutely no sound seemed so unusual. Me and him both strongly believe that we have seen a UFO. I, in no way, have had as much experience as him when in comes to aircrafts, but I want to be an astronomer, so there has been many nights were I have observed the sky with my telescope and I have done a lot of research, but I have never seen anything quite like this. I thought it was worth sharing.

I waa driving down 494 at 11:30 pm from a concert and I look up and see a solid red circular light just flying across the sky about 300-400 feet up. It's going decent speed. It flies from left to right then i see it stop and it sits there for a couple seconds then comes back from right to left then disappears. Sky was also clear at the time.
