Cylinder over Chisago, MN

The report, as filed

As it got closer the bright light got bigger and as it was almost tripled in size. Just before it went directly above us the light dimmed, and as it dimmed it turned into a cloud like formation, making the whole body translucent all we could see was the out line even though it was right above us, the sky was clear with no clouds. It turned its direction and started going north and disappeared into the northern lights that were out that night and were able to be seen pretty far south that night. This was not part of a spent rocket cylinder especially since how slow it was moving and its ability to turn and head directly north and go from a dark object with a bright light to translucent with no light and we weren't the only eye witnesses that summer night last June.
