Unknown over Forest Lake, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As we watched in bewilderment, there were 3 ufos. Triangle formation at first. Then, the objects would dart around, zig zag, sometimes you could see only 2 then one then 2 then 3 etc. objects at time appear to come close but stayed very East. I saw the report from Bayport, Mn today. I knew I had to fill this out and put this on record. They would go up and down, no pattern I could discern. I remember clear as a bell. But not the date. My ex and I do not speak. His name is ((male's name deleted)) works at Century College in White Bear. He and I were married at the time of this observation. The sky was dusk. A pinkish hue. They stood out clearly. They were far so I can’t say shape. I saw the lights of the crafts And there were three crafts. I saw them in formation as a triangle first then it was like a scattered display of zigzagging and movement With not direct points but like scribbling on a paper? That’s how the flight pattern appeared from my position on Lake one, of Forest Lake that summer evening. I keep looking up. I know about the clouds too. The date in this report above? My phone is not accepting the movement to move the date so I’m putting todays date that I filed this. Thank you

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.

Two black triangles with solid red lights in each corner flew above my head and past me in front. Disappeared over a wall so only about 50 feet from the ground given the angle I lost sight. About 15-20 feet length. Flying silently together. Flew like a drone would fly and only flew in a straight line.

today at 3:28 pm i was at my storage unit in Forest Lake, MN. I parked in the front of my unit facing south. I had a very good view of the south sky as well as west and east other than some trees on the west side of my view. I was sitting in my truck on the phone facing south. Sunny afternoon. I noticed what looked like a meteor very white like a cloud, shaped like a falling sphere of white gas. Very white, and looked more like a cloud than anything else, but it was traveling west to east at a 45 degree angle coming down towards the earth. It had a tail that would shrink and than get longer every few seconds. suddenly it faced straight downward like it was falling from the sky. I video taped the entire event, but my phone camera did not seem to pick up the image. I looked out beyond my camera as it was recording and I could see it perfectly, and when I returned my vision to the camera it wasn't in the viewing area recording. It went west to east. a je! t plane like a 747 through right through my line of sight of the object. The 747 looked 1/10th the size. I am sure the pilot(s) on that jet saw the object. The object also had very small white popping lights like a sizzler but far less lights popping. I lost sight as it went down beyond my line of vision of the trees but looked like it was going to land somewhere. Hope someone else had seen this and reports it as I have.

I was heading north on 35w. I was just passing forest lake exit, when I noticed an object flying in the air. This object was in a shape of a long oval with a small, oval-shaped object right next to it. It was moving very fast. When I looked up at it it was shape shifting to 3 little ovals then shaped into 4 little ovals flying in align of one another heading from the east side of sky to North west sky. I watched until it disappeared. I pulled off at Wyoming Exit, and it was nowhere in the sky. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Star gazing, about 25 minutes into it we see a HUGE rectangular craft with a white light at each end. We could see right through the object.. As it traveled in a west to east direction it made no sound, and it moved at an angle. While noticing a light at each end, the strangest thing was we could see the stars behind it as it passed through the sky making it pretty much invisible. (minus the two white lights) There did seem to be some disruption in the atmosphere right around the object as it went from west to east. CREEPY!

Saw object high in the sky moving slowly, sometimes nearly stationary and then in multiple non linear directions returning closely to its original position. It was very clear in the sky and we could see color light (blue and red) moving continuously around the edge. It was to the south of the Lake. After approximately 5 minutes it turned to the NE, climbed higher into the sky and moved fairly quick to the North towards Duluth. It disappeared completely within minutes. It was an incredible experience.
