Triangle over Monticello, MN

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I went out to take garbage out and I was looking at stars. Then, I saw again This triangular thing moving slowly towards me. It hovers real slow. I looked over across street and saw one more of the same thing. I have seen this at least four times since I have been here.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #125874). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

Monticello, MN

At about 1:20 am CDT on October 5th, 2014, I was lying on my bed on my Macbook Pro. The curtains of my north-facing window are open, as is the window. I happened to look up from my Mac and glance out the window, only to see a pulsating red light. The pulse is almost exactly one per second, rhythmically, like a dimmer being turned all the way up and then all the way off. The pulsating light was quite a bit larger than a blinking red wing light on a jet, at least three times as large. As best I can judge the distance, it appeared to be within five to ten miles of my house. The object was moving — slowly and without variance in speed — pretty nearly due west, at maybe a third or a fourth the speed of a low-flying light aircraft. The experience lasted twenty minutes. The object gradually moved out of sight to the west, never changing course or speed, never altering the rate of pulsation for its light, never changing size or growing dimmer except insofar as distance altered its visibility. The object made no noise whatsoever, not of jet engines, nor of helicopter blades, nor anything else.
