Formation over Duluth, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At approximately 7:03 A.M. on the morning of 1/10/15, I went out to pick up my newspaper. In the Northern sky (North of my vantage point), I noticed a light moving from West to East. It was bluish to green in color. The strange thing was that it had 3 plumes coming out of it. One plume was directly behind it and two others were coming almost straight out the sides. It was very bright and easily noticeable. Following behind the first were three more. They were single lights, almost as bright, but smaller and yellow colored. There were no plumes on these lights. All 4 lights were following a same flight pattern, but far enough apart that there is no way it could have been a single aircraft. The first (plumed), third and fourth lights were in a direct line. The second light was higher in altitude. I waited for 5 more minutes after they disappeared into the horizon to listen for possible delayed jet engine noise and there wasn’t any noise whatsoever. Whatever this! was there is no doubt that all 4 lights were flying in unison on the same flight pattern all the way across the sky.

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.

I have been processing that this contact has been ongoing over one year which resulted into face to face contact. Most of this started with electronic interference in my phone and laptop, other unexplainable phenomenon. I heard a sound outside my bedroom window, it sounded like a bird, or clicking noise. I went outside and looked up and saw a hundred or more orbs floating. I called to them, as I was somehow unsurprised due to the ongoing strange events. I was frightened because anyone would be. But I held composure and called to one, it flew down nearer to me, but took a while. I spoke to it and said I was going to get in my car and go somewhere there would be more room. I drove to the pier and lighthouse, I did see a few fishermen on the dock, but no other witnesses at the lighthouse where they reappeared, then, there were so many more. And one green, oblong looking plasma - towering, it was probably 20 feet high. I saw it flying from the back of the orbs and they let it through to come closer to me. I spoke to them, and asked them to come closer. It took a while, but they did come and I was around 20 feet from the green one. It looked lumpy or asymmetrical. Not uniform light, like the white orbs. That's because it had overlapping parts. It unfolded. I said, "I'm Dana" and pointed to myself. This is where I get emotional. During the time I was having electronic events on my computer, where it would shut off late at night, or I'd have trouble using it - I was producing art, as an artist and writer. I wrote a poem about my childhood and created a lovely piece of art to go with it. This light being, after I said, "I'm Dana" - actually shapeshifted into a character I described as myself as a child per the poem, in color and shape. As if to say, "Yes, Dana, we know you" You all must know this is going on. I'm struggling emotionally as this is powerful in someone's life. Are there any support groups or therapists who deal with helping someone process this kind of contact? This has been a good experience, and I consider them loving, and peaceful. But I feel isolated and would love some support from others who have maybe gone through this. After this contact, all the electronic phenomenon stopped. What next? Does anyone know what happens next? It doesn't feel like it's over. [NUFORC annotation: Hoax - Possible]

Today I was driving at 4:55pm from Duluth MN to Superior WI. Was driving on Interstate 35 south heading up the Bong Bridge entrance ramp and straight in front of me low in the sky was a black round object with two points on it (I found a Navy ship surrounded by UFO's video on You Tube that shows a similar object but what I saw was upside down from what the video shows) Object was moving slowing, I could only look at it for 20 seconds or so since I was driving 50 mph.

We stopped at a wayside rest on the Scenic Highway heading back towards Duluth. We were sitting on top of this cliff watching the lake and the rain clouds across from us over Wisconsin. Against the dark clouds of rain we saw this white snake like formation. We thought they were birds, but birds don't in a line and dip up and down like your moving your hand in a wavy motion. We watched it until the snake like formation disappeared.
