Chevron over Bloomington, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Fast moving formation of 4 diffuse lights in a chevron pattern moving east to west. Spotted over head moving west at a high rate of speed. No sound. Lights disappeared sooner than I expected they should have. Not sure what to make of it. Clearly seen and moving fast. Lights were dime sized held at arm's length. Lights were not pin point, but rather larger and diffuse. White in color.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #145408). 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.

The two crafts was camouflaged as small clouds going West bound but the problem was no wind and no other clouds in sight.

Many UFO's spotted flying from South SW to North NE in a straight line. 100+ white dots with no tail or trail were less concentrated and even few and far between at the head and tail. Very concentrated in a perfectly straight band all the same size and luminosity. We could not determine the distance of items and there was no breaking or burning noticed as they flew across the entire sky. Took about 2 minutes to fly across they sky. This was right over the Mall of America. My dad and I were mesmerized by the objects as they looked like a fleet. The last few objects were noticed to be following far behind but were traveling the exact same speed as the rest of the objects. I have a picture of this but it's not high quality. Possible sighting of cluster of Space Link satellites?? PD

All of a sudden I shouted "WOAH!" at which point he stated, "I saw that too!" Which really shocked and excited me that he did, because I am usually alone when I see strange things in the sky, or people I am with just don't ever see what I do, most likely because they aren't paying attention, and as for me, my eyes are always in the sky! Even this time my friend wasn't really paying attention and kept looking at his phone but this object was so bright and low to the ground that it caught his eye. I'd say it was at around the hight of the Mall of America. Which would be illegally low for a plane to be flying. The object made no noise at all and I'm not sure how to explain the shape of it with one word but it looked semi-long, cylinder shaped with round edges in the front and back. Idk if you call that cigar shaped or what. It was VERY bright and glowing a neon green and blue-ish like meshing together. Looked like something that glows in the dark but brighter than any glow in the dark toy thing I've ever seen. It was traveling north, the same direction I was and it came about very fast, seemingly out of no where. It was like its cloaking mode malfunctioned or noticed we saw them at which point it did not get far at all ahead of my car before it just vanished right in front of us, just dissapeared so I don't mean it vanished out of view. It just plain old vanished right before our eyes! About a month after that event, I saw the same exact looking object do the very same thing, and also not too far away from the first time, but I was driving alone. So a few weeks go by and just last night I was at work (which is with-in just a few miles of the other events) and I hear my co worker talking to someone explaining what she had seen fly right above her while she was standing outside our work having a smoke and that the thing had vanished right before her eyes, right before looking like it was going to fly right into these apartments, and she described it looking exactly as what my friend and I saw. So needless to say I hopped in that conversation real quick haha. These 3 events all happened in the same area within 5 miles of eachother. It is right near the Minneapolis-St Paul airport but we know what planes look like and this thing was most definetely no plane I have ever seen. I'm sure I will see it again sometime. I also take lots of videos of the sky because i tend to see things quite often and I have a couple still images from different videos of something no one can tell what it is. I may post them.

Both me and my boyfriend saw a oval shaped ring of lights in the sky last night, July 15th. The balls of light were too big to be stars and the shape didn't seem to be moving, just hovering. There was no outline to the thing, just glowing white lights. There was a haze around all the lights, they weren't like regular aircraft lights. We both saw it and tried to record it, but it was too dark to see anything on a phone camera. There was only one oval shape. It looked like it could have been hundreds of feet in diameter if it was a UFO. We sat and watched it for about 5 minutes and then we drove away and didn't see it again.

On my way home on 494 and highway 5 there was 3 bright light in the sky kinda over the Mississippi River in a slanted downward angle sitting motionless the lights would fade out and back on like they where going around something but they did not move in any direction just hovering there for almost 10 mins then just vanished. Advertising lights at a local casino? PD
