Formation over Duluth, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was on the north shore of Lake Superior later in the evening and over the lake came a formation of lights that at first appeared to be a very long/wide aircraft with two bright yellow lights and smaller green and orange lights on either side. It came in close very fast and had no sound at all. It appeared to stop and hover and a few smaller individual lights came shooting off and quickly faded and disappeared into the distance. All of this with absolutely no sound. The larger object then seemed to just get farther away as the lights eventually faded completely. It was hard to tell if the object was going up or away or turned away in a certain direction. The entire event lasted only a couple of minutes. What I remember most was the fact it was absolutely silent and seemed to hover very gracefully while the small lights shot out very quick and graceful as well.

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 have been processing that this contact has been ongoing over one year which resulted into face to face contact. Most of this started with electronic interference in my phone and laptop, other unexplainable phenomenon. I heard a sound outside my bedroom window, it sounded like a bird, or clicking noise. I went outside and looked up and saw a hundred or more orbs floating. I called to them, as I was somehow unsurprised due to the ongoing strange events. I was frightened because anyone would be. But I held composure and called to one, it flew down nearer to me, but took a while. I spoke to it and said I was going to get in my car and go somewhere there would be more room. I drove to the pier and lighthouse, I did see a few fishermen on the dock, but no other witnesses at the lighthouse where they reappeared, then, there were so many more. And one green, oblong looking plasma - towering, it was probably 20 feet high. I saw it flying from the back of the orbs and they let it through to come closer to me. I spoke to them, and asked them to come closer. It took a while, but they did come and I was around 20 feet from the green one. It looked lumpy or asymmetrical. Not uniform light, like the white orbs. That's because it had overlapping parts. It unfolded. I said, "I'm Dana" and pointed to myself. This is where I get emotional. During the time I was having electronic events on my computer, where it would shut off late at night, or I'd have trouble using it - I was producing art, as an artist and writer. I wrote a poem about my childhood and created a lovely piece of art to go with it. This light being, after I said, "I'm Dana" - actually shapeshifted into a character I described as myself as a child per the poem, in color and shape. As if to say, "Yes, Dana, we know you" You all must know this is going on. I'm struggling emotionally as this is powerful in someone's life. Are there any support groups or therapists who deal with helping someone process this kind of contact? This has been a good experience, and I consider them loving, and peaceful. But I feel isolated and would love some support from others who have maybe gone through this. After this contact, all the electronic phenomenon stopped. What next? Does anyone know what happens next? It doesn't feel like it's over. [NUFORC annotation: Hoax - Possible]

Today I was driving at 4:55pm from Duluth MN to Superior WI. Was driving on Interstate 35 south heading up the Bong Bridge entrance ramp and straight in front of me low in the sky was a black round object with two points on it (I found a Navy ship surrounded by UFO's video on You Tube that shows a similar object but what I saw was upside down from what the video shows) Object was moving slowing, I could only look at it for 20 seconds or so since I was driving 50 mph.

We stopped at a wayside rest on the Scenic Highway heading back towards Duluth. We were sitting on top of this cliff watching the lake and the rain clouds across from us over Wisconsin. Against the dark clouds of rain we saw this white snake like formation. We thought they were birds, but birds don't in a line and dip up and down like your moving your hand in a wavy motion. We watched it until the snake like formation disappeared.
