Triangle over Savage, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My first report was in Q4 2013. A friend and I had observed something from my deck. I've since seen in several times, including on this date with a different friend of mine. We were sitting on my deck, talking and enjoying a cool evening, when a fast-moving light coming up out of the south caught my eye. I pointed it out to my friend and he and I watched as the object continued to move north. As it began to pass over our heads (quite high, but not high enough to be a satellite), the object zig-zagged, and then suddenly made a 90° turn toward the east. There was no banking like a plane would have to do-it was a complete and immediate change of direction. The object continued toward the east before changing direction and heading north once again before suddenly disappearing. My friend and I stayed on my deck, trying to find the object, but we were unsuccessful. What we did see, however, was another object traveling rapidly up from the south, following approximately the same trajectory as the previous object. This object also changed direction abruptly, but this time this one went west. It zig zagged several times and then suddenly disappeared. Not long after these two objects were observed, we heard planes passing overhead at a rapid rate of speed-but we were unable to get out to the deck to see them. Savage had not been in the flight path for MSP or Flying Cloud on this night, so it was surprising to see aircraft in the vicinity.

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.

Same thing, bright amber light, moving fast and no sound. A third one came over and just disappeared right overhead.

There was a circle of 13 individual lights, stationary. In watching them, the upper left quadrant faded, then eventually came back. During that time the right lower quadrant faded, then the lower half faded. All lights then came back and slower start to fade individually. After 20 min, all but 3 lights on the left side remained, then a group of three in a different formation came back. It looks like it reformed but my view is blocked by large trees. As it is humid and cloud covered tonight, it was easy to see the lights weren't coming from the ground, pointing upward. There was no light trail and we live in an area that doesn't have dealership lights, sales lights, etc. during this time, both pets were feverishly running to the windows and l Starring at the lights. After that last group faded, they finally laid back down. all pictures I took ended up completely white. All video was black. Suspected advertising lights at a local casino. PD
