Circle over Burnsville, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While driving East on County Rd. 42, I witnessed a bright white circle shoot down at approximately a 90-degree angle oriented behind the Fairview Ridges Hospital. The object left no trail and was larger than what could be interpreted as a shooting star or any other celestial body.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #144522). 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 returning by the Pkw 13 at 11:45 pm in a south-west direction and I saw in the suspended sky a formation of lights perfectly aligned in a circular way, the sky was cloudy but I do not know if it was a single object or if they were several in formation, I have the impression that it was a single object perfectly suspended, located very high without initial displacement, then began to move maintaining the same distance between the lights that made it up. The event lasted at least 5 minutes while I was traveling in the same direction.

I saw a circle of bright white lights up in the sky looking south towards Lakeville, MN. Remained stationary - did not move. I was on my way into work at 2:30AM. Possibly casino advertising display lights?? PD

While driving with my sister, heading north, we witnessed a ball of greenish white light hovering in the sky, far brighter and larger then an average star. It then began to plummet eastward, starting on fire and leaving a tail of flames behind it in the sky. We lost sight of it once it hit the tree line.

Got home from work around 3:30am. Decided to unwind on my back deck. Happened to look up while Star gazing. While doing so I happened to spot three very bright circular objects moving slowly across the sky in a triangle formation like nothing I’ve EVER seen before. These objects proceeded to hover over my house for about five minutes while I watched in PURE confusion, giving what I was witnessing. They all would move slowly back and forth over my house. If I had to guess these objects were just inside our atmosphere or right above it. Then one by one they took off and disappeared literally in the blink of an eye! LITERALLY! Like speed of light fast. But before they took off/disappeared they would slowly move back and forth before they did. I haven’t come forward until now giving how talking about something like this, or even claiming to have witnessed they unexplained, usually brings scrutiny and skepticism. Folks also would’ve thought I was crazy or super tired. But I wasn’t, I was way too wired to be tired. I was also sober as a whistle. I also didn’t know how to report something like experienced or that you even could. My regret from that night was being in too much of a shock to pull my cell phone out to record. I still don’t believe what I saw myself still to this day.
