Changing over Tofte, WI

The report, as filed

We are on a trip to the North Shore of Minnesota, it is currently January 25th, 2021. Whilst driving back to Tofte from dinner in Grand Marais my fiancé, driving, yelled “look, what is that light, what’s that”. I was on my phone and didn’t look up fast enough. He stated that “it was a round white orb that started dim, increased in brightness and made a sharp turn before jetting away and disappearing (5-10seconds). I then started looking out the front window, a minute later I saw an orb appear, EXTREMELY bright, dim, go back bright and disappear. Then another 1-2 minutes later I saw the same orb appear, my fiancé and I were both shocked saying “what is that”, the orb then split into three orbs in a horizontal line, hovered for about ten seconds, came back together, and disappeared. While this was happening the two cars in front of us slammed on their breaks, we assume because they were seeing what we were. All of this happened on the shoreline of Lake Superior. I’m not a believer in UFOs but I sought out a place to report because this was extremely strange and scary.
