Chevron over Trimont, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was coming home from the library and, as I always do, made a glance toward the Coming home from an errand, I always glance up at the sky before going in the building where we live. I noticed a small, white object fairly high in the sky (maybe 60 degrees above the horizon and moving slowly toward the west,southwest. It was moving slowly, and gradually got closer. Although it was very high, I could still see wings, like a bird, but very small and, with no tail or anything ahead of the wings. This part of the country is farming country, and in the warmer months it's common to see hawks circling high in the sky, looking for prey on the ground. But now we have snow cover and its hard to imagine hawks being able to see any little critters running around down here with all of our snow cover. Plus, I have NEVER seen a bird that high! So, go figure.

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 sitting in my car, facing south, waiting for my wife(she was visiting a resident in our local nursing home). I noticed a small gray object 30-35 degrees above the horizon, traveling straight west. At first I thought it was simply a "floater" in mt eye, but then realized it was going straight west at a rapid pace. Trimont lies six miles north of Interstate 90, which travels straight east to west through this area, and I wondered if this object was following the Interstate toward Sioux Falls, SD. When the object was roughly straight south of us it seemed to drastically increase its speed, and joined another object that was just ahead of it and also traveling west. I hadn't noticed this object until the gray object pulled along side of it. This object appeared to be black in color. Just a second later the two objects became lost amid nearby tree branches, and that was the end of the event. This whole occurrence couldn't have lasted more ! than 3-5 seconds. The speed of these objects, whatever they are, is absolutely phenomonal!!

We were sitting outside enjoying the late afternoon/early evening. I happened to look up in the sky and saw a white rectangular form climbing steeply into the sky. At one point, the sun reflected brightly off of it (for several seconds). It climbed very quickly-to the south/southwest and disappeared when passing over, then beyond a tall cumulus cloud in the distance. By this time, it merely a white speck in the sky. It was completely silent. It didn't have wings. It was in a position where we would have heard the sound of it, climbing into the sky. I've never seen anything like this in entire lifetime+. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Sorry about the date. It was early evening Wed. June 28., ((END ADDENDUM))
