Cigar over Sauk Centre, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Elongated fixed object gliding northeast without noise. Too large, low, slow, and quiet to be an airplane. It had one bright but hazy white light in front and a smaller bright white light (no haze) on the tail end. The rest of it appeared to be invisible, except for these two lights. Where the mid section would be, there was small white light that appeared to blink slow and irregular. This was at 7:00 a.m., and it was dark enough to see the stars. At first I thought I was looking at stars until I noticed it was moving. Then, I could tell that it was much much closer than any stars could be. It was much closer than an airplane would fly.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #116604). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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 WAS GATHERING FIREWOOD AND LOOKED UP AT FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS A SHOOTING STAR. ONE LIGHT BECAME 3 LIGHTS IN A TRIANGLE FORMATION AND SHOT FROM SOUTH TO NORTH ACROSS THE SKY.

2 weird objects fly over our house and make no noise and about 2 miles away just appear to stop for about 45 min.
