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]

Big bright orange light in the sky above lake superior

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.

Alright I’m doing this on my phone but I was snapping friends and excited to see a storm from my deck. I’m watching the clouds roll in and about 50-100 ft not super high but 2 glowing balls are headed from over the hill towards superior (I also have a video my roommate who witnessed it with me got one caught in on film when I was trying) they flew like just over the power lines like light softballs or something of that size. I thought it was a bird but it looked like it was on fire like a firework. I’m like that can’t be a drone I just seen 5 of them. All different courses but mostly towards superior at different angles just like fast floating in which made me think this isn’t a drone race or something. I saw one maybe 200 ft up headed same direction a few minutes later and pointed it out to my roommate. She was snapping the double rainbow the clouds were giving and caught the tail end of the last one. I thought I was the only one to see it with her but my g! aming buddy said his girlfriend and neighbor just witnesses one in proctor which is like top of the hill before you enter duluth. I saw roommates snap and told her to save it and email it so it didn’t lose quality and you can still see the object and they all looked just like that one. All towards superior but different trajectories. Only have the one video was hoping more people saw it and reported it.
