Oval over St. Paul, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I step outside at my front porch for a cigarette and probably for almost approximately 3 minutes prior while I was out there, I spotted the first air craft. All I could see was a big bright ball of red light above our road/street 15-16ft from my house. It stood still in the sky and I don’t know how long it was already there. And I didn’t thought anything about it at first until I took a few step forward to try to take a good look of it and that’s when it moved and shifted to the right. It moved pretty quickly towards our dead end road an then it came back towards where it had been above me. It came a little slower than when it had moved before. Then it started to flash some kind of light blueish bright lights from the aircraft. Those blueish lights doesn’t flash like any normal airplane would. There’s no way and there’s no way any airplanes/drones moves like how this aircraft moves and how fast it was flying up there strangely. The big ball of red light it doesn’t flash and it doesn’t go off. It continuously was very visible. I cannot make out how this aircraft looks like. It stopped a few times where I am an then it just moves strangely back and forth rapidly in strange movement. A n then I notice when the first aircraft moved towards hwy I-94, another aircraft moves in towards above the houses across from my house. It was moving at a slower paste than the first one. But it seemed to be following the first aircraft. The second ship you could tell that its an oval shaped bc it had diminish whitish lights aligned together giving out the shape. And its color is like a metallic/grayish color to it. It’s only a few minutes then the first aircraft flew quite fast off my left towards the other side of the neighborhood into the sky and it’s gone and strangely so did the second aircraft left shortly after. I want say during the time I spotted the first aircraft to when I saw both of the departure of the aircrafts, It’s probably appro! ximately close to 15 minuets maybe a little more? I did called! a dispa tcher at around 9:00 pm and she was kind enough to stay on the line with me while all that was going on until an officer came by, but he came a little too late to help witness what i’be seen. And sadly I truly thought I have proof of a video I took on my phone before contacting the dispatcher but I didn’t have it. I must of have miss record and was in utter shock when I couldn’t find it. And in all honesty, this is truly my first experience and I feel overwhelmed by this experience. I like to say really that I DONT want to experience something like this ever again. But I know what I know now and that’s enough for me. I just hope that least there was somebody else that have must of seen it too and have some type of footage maybe or at least seen it. I sound like a total nut case bc I didn’t have what I was asked of but left what I have to tell.

Was driving home after work and I saw 4 bright lights sitting hovering in place just above the highway. I thought it looked very strange and opened my window and I saw what looked like a single engine prop plane with 4 very bright lights hovering in place not moving with no noise about 250 feet in the air it continued to hover in my rear view mirror as I past it and I turned around to see if it was still there but it was not, possible I could just need some sleep but it was strange enough to call a family member about it.

A friend and I were sitting on the deck at my house. We were looking at the moon facing south and out of nowhere this bright red light moved into view going west. It moved pretty fast and then abruptly stopped and hovered for a few seconds. Then it moved up really quickly and again stopped. The red light changed to a dim green color, then faded out into white at which point it changed back to bright red before moving west again. It dropped down again and hovered a few seconds before quickly moving west and out of view. It was about 9:00 at night. There were no clouds in the sky and it made no noise. I don't know how high up in the sky it was but I'm guessing a height at which a small plane would fly. There is a lot of air traffic here but I've never seen anything that would just suddenly stop and change color like this. I can't figure out what this was!

Heading to bed at 23:40 and glanced outside the window and noticed a very bright object in the western sky. I thought it was a planet or a light but upon closer inspection, I noticed that there was movement - hovering sideways. I asked my wife to come to the window to get her take. The first words out of her mouth were, “Holy heck! What on earth is that?!” We both noted that it was moving/shimmering side to side. Unfortunately, I left my glasses downstairs but even so when I stared closer, I could see that red and bright yellow lights were swirling around the object's center. My wife had her glasses on and, again, corroborated my description. It hovered for about 15 minutes and then dropped slowly downward. Unfortunately, a large tree obscured most of the detail, so we didn’t see where it went. The object appeared to be far away, so it was difficult to determine size.

so my husband was out having a cigarette and called me out to look at the weird lights above the tree line. bright lights one at a time about 15 seconds apart. they were in a horizontal line. they got to a certain point and just disappeared. They must've been very high as they appeared as really small dots. so weird. one just drifting across the sky in a straight line followed by another followed by another etc there were 11 total. it lasted about 3 minutes. I called my daughter and she said spacex was supposed to launch satellites. so I went in and checked and they were supposed to launch in a couple of days this was the 14th . very odd indeed.

ok so I just sent in a report and was looking and it was basically the same as a report on 3/15 regarding looking like satellites, but ours was from south to north not west to east the burnaby canada sighting.. just wanted to update.
