An hour before sunset, a black and silver (reflective) rhombus-shapeshifting craft appeared over the lake area. It was hovering and rotating, shifting in shape as it rotated. It was pitch dark black but brightly reflective in sides toward the sun. It looked as though it was hovering in a holding position for at least a minute before it moved slightly further north and appeared to essentially evaporate into a rip in the atmosphere. I am certain it was not a plane (as we are near the airport), nor a bird, or drone. Definitely have never seen anything like this.

4 egg shaped crafts flying in loose formation under the moon.

While walking my dog around 5:00 this afternoon i noticed 4 roughly egg shaped crafts flying in a formation flying roughly north to south. Just below the angle of the moon at the time. I watched them for about 5 minutes before they disappeared. They did seem to be maneuvering to stay in a formation. I had thought they might be jets, but i saw no trails whatsoever.

Sighting of multiple flying objects, flying in unison back-and-forth, unlike birds

On April 6, 2025, at approximately 4:20 PM Central Time, I witnessed an unusual aerial phenomenon while at Overlook Park in Saint Paul, Minnesota. At first, I thought I was looking at birds, but I quickly realized these were bright, shining objects, very high in the sky, and moving in a way that didn’t resemble natural flight patterns.

The objects moved silently and in unison, shifting back and forth in a coordinated, synchronized manner. Their behavior did not match that of birds, drones, or aircraft. They maintained what appeared to be a triangular formation, and the light they gave off was unusually bright for the time of day.

I observed the phenomenon for approximately 30–40 seconds. There was at least one other witness, that I know, present who also saw the event. I captured a photo of the objects, which I can provide. It didn’t come out as clear as I would have liked, but at least it is something.

Environmental Conditions:
• Clear skies
• Daylight
• No audible sound from the objects.

Vertical Rectangle/Cigar shaped object

I was in the passenger seat of a car. My boyfriend was driving and slowed the car down because he was entering a yield lane. He came to a stop, and that was when I noticed something above us. Please keep in mind this happened really fast, within like 5 seconds. The object was at a tree tops height. The first thought that came into my mind was that it was a pair of sneakers on the electricity wires. But as I got a closer look, it definitely was not sneakers and it didn’t line up with the wires. The next thought I had was that it was a drone, but i have never seen a drone that looked like that. It wasn’t moving at all. It was just there, above us. It was rectangle/cigar shaped, standing vertically. It was about 4 ft tall and 2 ft wide. It looked like it was made out of metal. And there was a little circle right in the center. It reminded me of a camera lens. My boyfriend pressed on the gas to enter the street. I asked him if he just saw what I saw, and he said he didn’t. When I turned around, it was gone.

Angle of Elevation: 38
Closest Distance: 2-3 miles?
Estimated Speed: None to slow
Explanation: Planet/Star - Possible
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Bright light was seen, realized it was strange and twinkling in color. Moved side to side for 5-10 minutes.

I was looking outside and thought I saw a bright star or planet. Quickly realized that it was strange and twinkling. I began to watch it through my kitchen window. It was in between the Y of a large tree. I placed my hand on the window to keep my body still. I saw the object moving side to side. I thought that was even more strange and went to go get my husband. He came and saw it but I think he thought I was crazy. I then videotaped the 1st video at 8:36pm. It was 2min 16 sec long. It was poor quality and the object/light kept focusing in and out as I tried to zoom in. It hovered in gap between the Y of my tree for 5-10 minutes at least without moving. It was not actually in the tree but that is what have as a stationary object to compare to. I then called my dad and his fiancé who live 2 miles from me. I can see their house from my kitchen window to the west. They say they are going to drive around and look for it. They call me, can’t find it. I tell them the object is to the south, they can’t see it. I said they have to be able to see it. I said drive over to my house then because I can clearly see it. I go outside and watch the object and take the 2nd video of it. They finally see something on their drive over and she says it’s a plane. The object is clearly changing color to the naked eye but I can’t put my finger on what color exactly other than red is really sticking out to me. I know planes have white, red, and a green light. I have lived in the country most of my life. I am use to the pitch black, looking up at the stars, Milky Way, planes, Starlink line as they take off, and older satellites way up in space. This was like no plane I have ever seen. Planes disappear within minutes. I thought it could have been helicopters because of the side to side movement I witnessed but it was not moving for quite some time. After my dads fiancé said it was a plane, I didn’t argue and was cold so I went back inside. I then examined my videos and can clearly see color changing. After zooming in on videos it seems even move strange.

Silver egg/circular shaped object hovering above tree line, then vanished

I was driving about 40 mph heading south and to the right of the road about 1/4 mile away was one silver egg/sphere shaped craft. It was just hovering (maybe moving in the slightest if it was). The sun was behind me and was shining on the craft, the light reflected quite brighting on the northern side of it which allowed me to truly identify that it was a smooth sphere. As I observed it, I noted that it was much too large to be a drone and impossible to be a plane as it was only a sphere, no wings and it was hovering unlike any aircraft I’ve seen would. The sky was completely clear, not a single cloud and as I looked to the road for less than a second when I glanced up it completely vanished in thin air. Just vanished into thin air. My eyes did not drift away long enough for anything to fly out of my point of view that fast.

2 white lights perfectly circling directly across from each other in the sky until simultaneously went in exact opposite directions.

While driving westbound on Hwy 36 at around 8:30 PM on February 20, 2025, I was in the right lane with several other cars, all traveling at around 60 mph. The sky was dark and clear, with only a few visible stars.

Ahead of us, we saw two large, bright white lights about 70 degrees above the horizon in the WNW direction. They were far apart but moved in a circular pattern opposite each other at a steady speed. Before completing a full circle, they simultaneously departed in opposite directions—one heading east and the other west—at what seemed like an average speed. The entire right lane slowed significantly, likely because other drivers were also watching. There was a vehicle who must not have witnessed the event who ended up speeding by us in the left lane.

I briefly tracked the eastbound light until it left my field of vision but was able to observe the westbound light for quite some time. It didn’t follow a perfectly straight path or maintain a constant speed. Other planes crossed its path in the sky, providing a point of comparison. Their lights were significantly smaller and you could make out the different colored lights easily, even though they were obviously quite a distance from my but this light still appeared at a further distance away. At first, I suspected drones, given recent news reports, but they seemed too high and too bright. I then considered helicopters, but they would have had to be at an unusually high altitude with their spotlights on. Unlike typical aircraft, there were no visible colored lights—just an intense white glow.

I exited onto Dale Street and stopped on the Victoria bridge over Hwy 36 heading south to watch the westbound light. It moved slowly westward, gradually descending toward the horizon, though not in a perfectly straight line. It remained about 20 degrees above the horizon for a while.

A friend who had been driving the same route a few minutes behind me met me at my house just south of the bridge. We stood in the backyard and watched the light for another 10-15 minutes. It moved slightly but mostly resembled a bright star. If I hadn’t seen its earlier motion, I might have dismissed it as a star or a distant helicopter spotlight. Eventually, it disappeared behind the trees.

Three dark objects moving around below the overcast cloud cover.

I was putting groceries in my car when I looked up and was surprised to see three dark objects moving around above me to the south and east of the parking lot. The objects were very dark but at times seemed to have soft edges. The sky was a bright gray though heavy overcast from an approaching snow storm. They appeared to be disc-shaped. They moved around each other and slightly towards and away from each other. It was like balloons tethered together, which they might have been. I think there was a slight breeze at ground level but these objects were not drifting in one direction as balloons would do. They seemed to be gradually rising. They remained somewhat close to one another even as their positions rotated and moved a little towards and away from each other. Finally, a woman parked her car nearby and I asked her if she saw what I did and she confirmed she saw them too. When I said they might be balloons but weren't round she confirmed they looked flat. She asked how I happened to see them and I said they caught my attention as I was putting groceries in car. These might have been balloons someone released but they were not colored and very dark gray almost black. They were in contrast to the heavy cloud cover above them. At times the edges of these objects were somewhat blurred and imprecise. I aimed my inexpensive cell phone at them but they did not seem to register on the screen. I would totally dismiss this as balloons except for their dark color and appearing to be more of a disc though I was looking up at them at an angle. Submitting it in case someone else saw this.

Witnessed odd light near TV antenna, pursued, light evaded us until we stopped, then it turned back and came at us

At approximately 7:45 pm on January 30, 2025 I walked out my back door - at 15 E.Village View Dr. Apt. E - to empty garbage, when I noticed a bright white light hovering next to one of the nearby 1,000-ft tall television antennas. The light remained in this location for approximately half an hour, while slowly drifting away from the TV antenna.

I immediately put on my skeptic hat, and decided it was either Venus, or a drone operated by someone nearby. However, while it did SLOWLY drift away from the antenna, it's slow movement was still much too fast to be a planet or celestial body moving naturally across the sky because of the Earth's rotation.

What occurred next leads me to believe this was a UFO. I don't know what I saw. My girlfriend was with me and once she saw the light, it was her idea to attempt to catch up to it. So we got in the car and pursued. She doesn't know what we saw either. But each of us knows we just had the most profound UFO sighting experience of our lives.

We chased this light 30 miles west, at highway speeds, and we never caught up. It was as if the light was aware of us. We got closer to it a few times. But it was as if it was evading us. When we'd turn south, it would turn south. When we'd turn back west, it would turn back west. And when we stopped, it came back toward us.

When we finally decided to stop chasing the light, we were on Hwy 2 near Brookston, MN. As soon as we pulled over to stop chasing, the light also stopped, and began COMING TOWARD US. I have attached that video.

Obviously, this object probably has a rational explanation. But what we saw was incredible enough to warrant my reporting it to you. And we cannot explain what we saw.

This was no plane. No helicopter. No planet. It made no sound. And it moved quickly and abruptly in ways we couldn't explain.

I will attach video. I have more than 4 videos. At no point did we see any shape of an object. Only light. My girlfriend has a video where the light changed shape. My phone may not take great video. Hers does. So please follow up. Even if to debunk every whimsical notion of ours.

I need to know WTF we saw.

NUFORC Note:

On January 30, 2025, at approximately 7:42 PM in Duluth, Minnesota, Venus was prominently visible in the western sky. At that time, Venus was situated at an altitude of about 20 degrees above the horizon, making it the most likely bright object you observed. Venus is often referred to as the "Evening Star" due to its bright appearance shortly after sunset.

A bright planet (or star) in the lower sky can appear to move away from you when you're traveling in a car. This is an optical illusion caused by the relative motion between you and the celestial object.

Here’s why this happens:

Parallax Effect: Nearby objects, such as trees, road signs, and buildings, appear to move past you quickly, while distant objects (like a bright planet or star) seem almost stationary. If the planet is near the horizon, it may seem to drift away as your perspective shifts.

Curvature of the Road: If you're driving toward the horizon, the planet might appear to lower in the sky, making it seem like it’s retreating.

Your Brain’s Perception: Since planets don’t move noticeably in real time, your brain may interpret the changing perspective as the planet "moving away" from you.

This effect is common with Venus, which is often mistaken for a UFO because of its brightness and apparent motion when viewed from a moving vehicle.

Caught something in the corner of my eye and looked up to my right and saw a large golden orb going 100s of mph and seemed pretty low.

First off, as soon as I saw it I ran to my brother to look at an app that shows where planes are on gps and there was absolutely nothing even close to us. I got home from lifting and sat on the porch step waiting for my pet raccoons to come up to me when all of a sudden I notice something in my peripheral vision. I snapped up and to the right of me was a large golden orb or round shaped glowing thing that looked to be pretty low like lower than planes fly and it was silent and there was no flashing lights or tail or anything like that. It was going atleast 300mph like way faster than any drone or plane could ever go and I saw it for a total of about 5-7 seconds as it soared over the tree line. I had immediate chills and my jaw dropped, if I could have gotten a video of it, it would be the most viral unbelievable ufo video ever taken.

From Nest camera, faster than aircraft moving WNW across Minneaplis accompanied by strange noises and vibrations felt by homeowner

A friend of mine captured this last night at 10:34 PM from their front-door Nest camera. This is just south of downtown Minneapolis MN, and is facing east. The sounds heard in the tape are very eerie and not known if related or happenstance. Because there is perhaps a trail, I first thought comet, but then researched any comets and the only one around is near the sun and only visible by telescope, from what I gather. This is much closer and traveling much faster than air traffic. As I've learned meteors do not have tails, we are perplexed. Just thought I'd share for them. Air traffic does occasionally pass over, but this is way too fast. My friend also said both he and his spouse had awoken and felt strange vibrations. They are definitely not people who exaggerate or make up stories. OK to contact if necc. Email preferred.

Was out icefishing and when i looked to the west there were bright amber lights just hovering in the sky, then a second one appeared

I was out icefishing and stepped out for a bit noticing how bright the half moon was that was almost straight overhead. I looked to the west and noticed the first set of bright lights. The object was hovering. A second set of lights appeared just north of that. The lights were not as bright and there was very slow movement to the south. Then it disappeared and reappeared just like that. I then started walking to another fishhouse about 75 yards away, was about to knock on his door and noticed he was sleeping so I started walking back getting my phone out to try and record and it disappeared. I was watching the other lights that were really faint and when I looked back over the other one was back. The sky's were clear, no clouds in the sky and it was calm out. With the lights on whatever they were you could definitely make out the shape. Oval disc shape and no sound that I could here. With all the people icefishing in the area someone else has had to seen this. I witnessed this go on for 15 to 20 minutes and never saw them again that night.

I was driving to work north on Mn 107 at approximately 0645. It's just myself in the vehicle and no other cars around when all of a sudden, behind the trees, I can see a large cigar-shaped craft floating behind and then moving to above the trees. I felt as though the craft was connecting to me, and I felt an immense amount of peace, beauty, and understanding. It was about 12 seconds later when all of a sudden it turned towards me and disappeared, leaving me extremely nauseous for several hours after. No sounds, no exhaust or smoke trail/plume.

I feel as though this craft still connects with me, as I have been having flashes of scenes briefly in my consciousness that somehow seem to live hours to days later.

Later that evening, the skies clear, I remember vividly when all of a sudden the wind stopped, trees ceased to move, and I noticed a bird about 25 feet from me floating. No flapping, no sounds, just frozen. When I looked up, I saw the same cigar-shaped craft that I had seen that morning, and it then disappeared, leaving me back to the birds flying, wind blowing, and trees moving naturally.

NUFORC Note:

Time appears to have stopped.

UAP or Large Drone seen over Interstate 35.

Driver and passengers traveling on I35 South, just north of Clarks Grove, MN spotted a craft in the sky the size of an SUV with bright red and white lights (2 lights in total) that seem to have brightened and dimmed a few times. It was near the Clarks Grove exit and when getting off on that exit, it appeared to travel north at a high rate of speed. I didn't see it travel at a high rate of speed like described from eye witnesses of tic tac UAP's, but it was "suddenly" far away. See videos.

Strange line seen

Unlike starlink, this appears to be different. The spacing is odd and it looked too low to be in low earth orbit. The picture shows a smaller and completely separate event in the horizon that was taking place within 2 mins of the video. Note it is the small white dots.

NUFORC Note:

Nice starlink video.

Spinning Disc, flashing or strobing colored lights and it hovered maybe 15 sec and slowly straight lined to the north and zipped away almost disappearing instantly. No sound. It was maybe 150-200 yds away and maybe 800-1200’ in the air above the Mississippi River. Maybe 2-3 minutes later a helicopter came from the southeast and flew what seemed like the same path the object took.

I got up to see better and noticed a bright sphere to my left that was hovering while other UAP’S flew under and above. One sat across from the sphere and hovered too. The only UAP that was different was long with green lights down the side. The sphere actually disappeared in front of me.

Location: Minneapolis, MN, USA
Location details: I believe this object was over the Mississippi River about 42nd Avenue & East River Road

Shape: Changing
Color: Very Bright white
Estimated Size: unknown. Not in my skill set.
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: East NorthEast
Angle of Elevation: 23
Closest Distance: It was Several blocks away
Estimated Speed: stationary
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Stationary orb changed into a rectangle, likely over the Mississippi River.

The orb/rectangle was probably above the Mississippi River on about 42nd Avenue and East River Road. Ford Dam, lock and dam°1 is located at 5000 West River Parkway, Minneapolis, MN 55417-1609 · GPS: 44.916635, -93.203211. So that's about eight blocks from lock and dam°1 on the Mississippi River on the St. Paul side. Minnehaha Falls is just off the Minneapolis side of the River.

The appearance will be described in the layman's terms of my outstretched hand, and at the end of my hand, how the object measured from that vantage point. From that perspective it was a distant bright dot 1/8 inch that increased in size to 1/4 inch.Then it elongated and narrowed into length 1/2" and height 1/16". In other words, the bright dot doubled in size, and then it transitioned into a thin rectangle. It was a bit sparkly as it transitioned. As it expanded , there were areas of diminished brightness, in a sort of churning appearance of super brightness and slightly diminished brightness . Also, a few sparkles the formed during the process.

I only saw it as stationary for about 15 seconds. I stepped away for maybe 10 seconds to get a witness,but it had vanished. The sky was clear and cold at about 19°F (-7°C).

On a personal note, I felt wonderment at it's beauty and complexity.

Explanation: Satellite - Probable
Characteristics: Lights on object

Moved like satellite but with a very bright light that illuminated in consistent intervals

I noticed what I first thought was a satellite in the northern sky, moving north (angle of elevation decreasing). I did not see where it originated. Appeared to be at a very high altitude, no noise.

The object looked like a slow moving satellite when it was not illuminated, but would grow in light intensity until it appeared as bright as the ISS or Jupiter. The light was white. Then it would gradually dim and repeat after 4 seconds. It maintained this timed pattern the entire time I was viewing it until it disappeared from my sight behind our northern tree line. I filmed it with my phone, but was watching it with my naked eye the entire time. It appeared to maintain a fixed trajectory with no maneuvers.

This location is in dark sky country in the middle of the National Forest, less than 15 miles from a municipal airport. I see satellites every night. I have seen the ISS go directly overhead. I saw a Starlink satellite train move across the sky 3 years ago. I have never seen a satellite or any other plane/aircraft up here that has displayed this type of illumination.

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

NUFORC Note:

The dimming and brightening is likely the result of the satellite's rotation, as different surfaces are more or less reflective.

Location: Minneapolis, MN, USA
Location details: Multiple "drones" flying from east to west over Interstate 35 just south of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Shape: Triangle
Color: Black
Estimated Size: 15'×9'
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: North
Angle of Elevation: 25
Closest Distance: 500 feet
Estimated Speed: Varied
Explanation: Drone - Possible
Characteristics: Lights on object

Multiple craft with red and white flashing lights, unusual flight patterns, no noise, and many "hovering" over city skyline.

Driving north on I-35 through Burnsville, Minnesota, I noticed multiple small aircraft with flashing lights moving in flight patterns that are atypical of the usual sky traffic. They moved up and down, and changed direction faster than commercial aircraft. They were probably the size of a large suv, had 2 lights on the front, and one on each wing. From what I could tell they had wings, but were angled down. Most of them seemed to come from the east, where they would have passed over MSP airport, some stayed over the city skyline, some continued to the west/northwest. At one point a group of 3 came together before splitting into different directions. 2 of them had lights that flashed faster than the rest. None of them ascended/descended in a way that indicated they were departing from or arriving at the airport. I called my dad who lives in Minneapolis to confirm, and he could see some from his house as well.

I will note too that 1 or 2 seemed to be just orbs, with no physical "body", but those were never close enough for me to confirm this.

I work in the aerospace industry, albeit in a limited capacity, but have never seen anything like these.

Bright orb hovering for 30 minutes. Then just gone. No movement or other lights.

It was a crisp evening around 0 degrees fahrenheit. The sky to the east was clear and stars were visibly sharp. However, to the west it was cloudy and there were no stars visible. To the southwest of my location in the cloudy area I observed a bright sun-like orb. It did not appear to be that far away. I thought it might be a drone, but it did not move and made no sound. It also had no other lights. It sat there for about thirty minutes and then was just gone. There could have been a smaller, dim orb beneath it (but of that I am not certain). It was very stark and obvious it was something that should not be there.

Was on the couch and noticed lights outside. We are in a helicopter flight path for medi vac in the twin cities, but there was no noise. Typically the aircraft are super loud and low. Took a video as it appeared to be a large craft, silent. Mostly white light but occasionally could notice red. Guessing it was maybe up a couple hundred feet until it disappeared over the hill. The whole thing was very unnerving. We are used to aircraft. This was something different I can’t explain. I also checked my flight tracker app and nothing was listed.

Odd large rectangle gliding across the sky and then disappears.

My wife Erica and I saw a UFO this morning. We were driving towards the twin cities from Wisconsin. And Erica was driving. I was horsing around on my phone. Erica: “Hey, what’s that weird rectangle up in the sky?” Me: “It’s an airplane. flying towards the airport. It just looks weird because of the angle it’s flying. The wing from this angle is giving the illusion that it’s rectangular.” Erica, satisfied with my answer, agrees. I go back to my phone. And then her seconds later: “Dude! It’s gone! It just disappeared!” I look up. Absolutely NOTHING in the sky. It was at a size and distance in the sky that there is absolutely no way that it could have left our field of vision. It was a wide open sky in front of us. Nothing obstructing it. It was moving at a strange speed when we were watching it. I just assumed that it was at a weird angle and it was going in to land at the airport. And from our prospective it looked peculiar. Its trajectory was never descending. It almost felt like it was just gliding slowly across the sky. I’m not saying it’s aliens or anything. But it was definitely a surreal experience. Now I need to go do a deep dive on rectangular flying objects.

Pulsing chevron, hashtag shape dissolved into zigzaged lines

A flashing glowing chevron hashtag shape briefly appeared in the nite sky, it seemed to be obscured by vapor, though it was a cloudless night. Within several seconds, the shape seemed to break apart into ziz zagged, flashing lights, which moved very fast across the sky; moving much faster than aircraft. I have multiple degrees in the sciences, as does my husband; we can't figure out what could have caused this. It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

The Blackhoof Lights

This is a regular occurrence in Blackhoof township. What appeared to be a silent deep Red orb or craft was moving along the horizon from south to northeast. It continually changed elevation, made sudden brief stops and sudden acceleration. Occasionally the red glow seemed to extend below the craft in a line for a moment and the dissipate. It was hard to tell but it almost looked as if tiny red spheres were spinning around it at times. Was at least 10+ft across based on observed distance. Dipped below the horizon and disappeared at approximately the pinned location. I've viewed this phenomenon and similar on multiple occasions.

Bizarre light's moving in a line.

while cleaning with my significant other, I had stepped outside to obtain cleaning supplies from the vehicle. As I exited the vehicle I glanced up towards the sky at approximately 6;50 PM CTZ I noticed multiple objects illuminated moving across the sky heading from NW towards the NE skies above. It was this moment I called over my significant other to bare witness with myself. I then proceeded to count 35 glowing objects. during this encounter I also seen a blue flashing satellite in the back distance from which the objects had also came from the direction of the glowing objects. The glowing objects all moved in a direct path , as if a straight line was being sewn into the night sky. We cannot confirm that at the moment of us first catching sight of the encounter was the very first initial objects , but from our time of viewing we had seen the first three objects make the shape of a triangle. it should be noted that the end of the line also included what had also appeared to be another triangle shaped alignment of the glowing objects. During the last brief moments of the entire ordeal , we witnessed one break off from the end triangle and then proceed to accelerate at a faster speed than the others that had went before it. the end of time from sighting was at 7:06 PM CTZ

Bright green light in sky, looked like green inch worm, moving across sky and then gone.

I have a video if anyone wants to see. We had a party in our back yard last night with lots of lights and black lights, loud music, costumes, someone told us all to look at the sky. And it looked like a large green inchworm looking neon green light traveling through the sky and then after less then a minute, faded away and was no longer visible.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

Over Lake Minnetonka Sat. Oct. 26, 2024 7:59pm central. Looked kinda like a flying Amtrak train car brightly lit up.

I was with my mom and my aunt in the kitchen and on the deck. I was inside when called outside. In the sky was what looked like a low flying brightly lit up object. It made no noise we could hear. My mom has a video of it, but it is much smaller in the video than in person. Like moon shots always looking smaller than in person…in a way? Idk. Also it looks very bright in the video, and the details are harder to see. She is asleep now, but I asked her for the video in a text.

In person it looked like a city bus, with its lights on inside. Just flying slowly and low. I thought of the rv in space balls. I also thought it looked like a flying amtrak car. It was very lit up. Then it appeared to maybe disappear behind the trees. This was all at night btw. After sunset but rather dark. It was very easily visible.

Again, no noise. Not a plane. Not a helicopter. I thought maybe a predator drone, but it looked nothing like it when I looked those up.

I also have heard of a private company that surveills and records Minneapolis and the surrounding communities with a drone or glider or ballon, or all of them I forget, and they have detailed top down videos of every street everyday for police to use if needed. They sell it to them I heard. I thought maybe it was one of those, but why at night, and why lit up? And maybe the lights all turned off or it disappeared. It was tough to tell it went behind trees and we ran to the front and couldn’t see anything.

I’m sure someone else has seen something too, it’s not Monday it was Saturday night. It was very bright.

Afterwards I recollected space ufo movies like flight of the navigator, and others.

It was surreal.

We argued over whether or not it was aliens or man made.

I’m very skeptical of things. This happened a few hours ago.

Anyone?

-T in Minnesota.

I will try to upload a picture or video tomorrow if possible.

Moved slowly across the sky with no sound, then appeared to disappear into a slit in the sky

My husband and I were driving home. He was driving and I was using the opportunity to look out the window at the sky. I was curious if the comet was still visible so I was scanning the sky which was clear. As we got a couple of blocks from our home I saw this strange object. It was capsule or cigar shaped. Thicker than a cigar in proportion. It appeared dark gray with light gray window like patches along its side. We were turning corners so it was difficult to keep it in sight. I kept asking my husband "Do you see that?" It took three or four minutes to pull into our driveway and get out of the car. I was so enthralled watching it that I just didn't think of taking a picture. (I am an older person and don't think to grab my phone as a first reaction) It was moving slowly eastward. As I stood and watched the front end began to disappear. It was like it was moving into a slit in the sky. It took about 6-7 seconds for it to disappear completely. There was no sound at any point.

White Lights Moving Strangely in the Sky

We were flying from Las Vegas to Toronto on WS 1119. While we were flying south of Minneapolis, our pilots noticed strange lights flying around directly ahead of us.

I, as a flight attendant, went up to the flight deck to check it out.

While I was in the flight deck, we all witnessed this strange phenomenon. There were objects in the sky that would shine brightly and fade out only to then reappear in a different spot in the sky. The colour they would shine was dim white to very, very bright white. At times, they would disappear completely and come back in a different spot.

There were up to four objects. They were flying around: up, down, around one another.. They formed a triangle at one point. They chased each other at times.

We used a star ahead of us as a marker where the activity was. The star, obviously didn’t move, but the objects were moving and flying around.

We thought it could be satellites but there was no predictable pattern to their movement.

We estimated that they were flying much higher than us and definitely at a much higher altitude than a commercial aircraft could fly. We were basically flying at top altitude of Boeing’s 737-800.

Other pilots in the area also noticed the lights as we communicated with them on a radio frequency.

I, myself, was in the flight deck for about twenty minutes and they were very active during this time. My colleague also went to view this phenomenon and he witnessed the activity as well.

People who witnessed this: WS 1119 x two pilots, WS 1119 x two flight attendants, and other airline pilots in the area.

As it was dark, we could not take a video. Instead we took photos one after the other. When scrolling through the photos in sequence, you can see the movement of these bright lights.

Th captain used his DSLR camera to take photos, which he scrolled through, and we filmed on iPhone.

At first I thought it might be 1-3 military aircraft flying in my direction, but with time I could see that it is just hovering. It's kind of like a giant christmas tree in the sky. I work in the arly morning, so I stopped observing. Interesting though.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Made a sound, Landed

Five lights moving closer together and then farther apart in a circle, hovering in the sky above a clearing

I watched it for several hours outside my window overnight - 5 lights moving independently of each other. They would move close to each other and then further away, but individually, not in unison. They were typically in a circular/round shape but would periodically align in a vertical straight line. It also gave a very very faint high pitched sound. Eventually, the entire formation moved straight up into the sky and disappeared from view.

I walked out to the clearing the next day and found the spot it would have been to find a flattened area of my field in a slightly circular pattern and some vegetation that appeared to be slightly scorched. Approx 15 ft x 15 ft circle with an untouched spot in the middle. I took photos of the clearing and scorching during the day. I was not able to capture the lights from my phone.

Shape: Diamond
Color: dark
Estimated Size: A lot smaller than the plane

Direction from Viewer: Next to me and I was on the left side of the plane. (Probably north.)
Angle of Elevation: 15
Closest Distance: 100 yards next to plane & less than that below us
Estimated Speed: Faster than the plane
Characteristics: Lights on object

Four diamond-shaped craft flew below the plane going the opposite direction of the plane.

I had been looking out my window for most of the time since take-off because I am prone to motion sickness if I don't keep track of the horizon, especially during take-off and landing. We seemed to have settled into a relatively straight path, and the lights in the cabin were off. It was dark outside except for the lights off the engine and wings. I continued to look out and could view the engine from my seat (12A). It was foggy below us. Suddenly, a diamond-shaped, dark-colored craft sped past us. It was slightly below and next to the plane, going in the opposite direction. It had nonblinking white and red lights on the top and no visible contrail or exhaust. I was shocked because it seemed to be quite close. I only saw it for two or three seconds before it passed. I continued to stare out the window, grateful we had not had a collision. About 10-20 seconds later, an identical craft passed. It was about the same distance below us as the first one was but closer to the side of the plane. Another 10-20 seconds later, a third craft passed. Again, it looked about the same distance below us but was even closer to the side of the plane compared to the first two. I kept staring out the window, wondering what I should do or say, but it all happened so fast that I decided not to say anything. I didn't want to startle other passengers or have people think I was crazy. About ten minutes passed, and I continued to look out when the fourth one appeared. This time, it was under the plane. I viewed it in the space between the engine and the side of the plane. Everything else about it was the same as the other three. I was shook up but still chose not to say anything. I looked out the window for many more minutes and saw no more of them. (I assume the pilots saw also them and maybe other passengers, but I have no way to verify that.)

Stationary object with orbs rapidly moving around changing colors in an buoy like motion with a "stardust" glow

Time: 5:am
Girlfriend and I walking to gas station

UAP Shape and Structure: A central object was visible with spheres or orbs floating around it. The orbs varied in number (6-11) and moved rapidly in fluid-like, chaotic patterns.

Movement and Behavior: The orbs exhibited rapid movement and seemed to pulse or change direction erratically, similar to buoys moving on the surface of the water, as though connected by invisible ropes. The movement appeared 3D, with orbs possibly going behind the central object and emerging again.

Central Nucleus: There was a black nucleus at the center, giving the impression of a non-visible center or core.

Visual Effects:The orbs appeared to change colors, suggesting bioluminescence? Maybe pulsing? A stardust-like or plasma effect surrounded the UAP

Pictures taken outside of house and on the way to gas station. By the time we got back the amount of orbs and just generally visibility was much less.

Bright white light moving W to E

I noticed a very bright white light moving from W to E towards Lake Bemidji. From my viewpoint, it looked like it was fairly close to the ground (maybe several thousand feet up), and not a satellite or the ISS. There was no noise at all. It looked slightly orb or spherical shaped, but it was hard to tell, even using binoculars. I watched it as headed eastward over the lake, but then it seemed to disappear.

Orb split into two making pulsating triangular form. Could feel sensation in my eyes.

I saw what appeared to be an airplane flying over the trees flying southward in a straight line with green and red flashing lights. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed that it stopped still which caught my attention. I walked about 20 steps northward to a clearing to view it better. In the opening I saw this blinking light split into two orbs which moved slightly downward to make a triangular shape which was pulsating in colors around the edges, not moving or making sound. I watched for about 5 minutes before leaving to grab my phone to take a video but not a single thing showed on my screen. This pulsating continued and the shape seemed to almost stretch out into an oblong shape but I could not see the inner part only a colorful pulsating edge. I kept rubbing my eyes because I had the strangest feeling in them it was like they were straining or something. I was scared but I did not panic which in hind sight I should have been. In total I think this went on for around 15 minutes. It was something I can only describe as sci-fi movie stuff I just don’t know.

I have a personal history with a handful of unusual things but this tops the charts by a million. I have no personal or family history of mental disorders. I do not take any daily medication and consider myself sound of mind. I have no idea what this was but I am shocked.

At about 6pm +/- 10 minutes, a formation of black rectangular flew across I-694 Eastbound at the Hamline/Snelling overpass. At about 1/2 mile from the overpass, formation was just north of the HWY, visible through windshield. Just before driving through the overpass, formation was visible south of the highway through the right front passenger window, maybe over valentine lake. Would guess about 5 objects in formation, but objects were very close together and hard to count while driving. No wings or tail fins visible. No flight data corresponding to time range, location, trajectory, or formation found on flightradar or ADSB replay. No clouds in sky, bright daylight, but slightly hazy from forest fire smoke, visibility around 10 miles. Curious to find out if military craft or something else.

Consistent with report # Sighting 182766 . we are located north -east of that report

At the cabin--on a lake. Dogs were restless. Checked out the windows (all sides) ---no animals ...and, the motion lights (about 10 of them ) did not trigger on. Thought that perhaps a fox or opossum had returned to a spot under the cabin. Grabbed powerful flashlight and a pellet gun . Nothing. As I had triggered the motion lights--I turned the flashlight off. And when i got to the back deck --the timer on the lights turned the motion lights off. As I stood in the darkness I looked up a big dipper area and there were these lights moving in zig zag patter...seemingly random but for they were moving from the southern are of the sky --to the northeast. Let the dogs out but watched those lights for about 15 minutes. The dogs did not wonder far off either.

Can't say I believe these were aliens. But that night has stuck in my mind and today I thought I'd look this up on teh internet and found thsi sight and was amazed there was same related sighting: https://nuforc.org/sighting/?id=182766

A series of bright lights traveling from NW to NE in the sky (from the approximate location of the Big Dipper to Cassiopeia in the northern hemisphere) One would appear in one area of the sky and then travel approximately the same path to the other side of the sky, about every minute. Total duration of sighting was approximately 15 minutes, and I saw 20 of these things. Most seemed to disappear into a hazy patch of the night sky. I thought they were Starlink satellites at first, but they weren’t the “train” formation, or even close together at all. Most travelled approximately the same trajectory, though one seemed to move northwards toward the horizon and faded into the distance. Definitely not airplanes or drones. None appeared at the same time as any of the others. I’ve never seen so many moving objects in the night sky in such a timed pattern. I’m stumped as to what these were.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Emitted other objects

Circle of round white solid lights with what appears to be at least 2 other lights not in circles formation that blink in and out

My sister and I were driving in a storm at 9:30pm 8/3/2024 on hwy 212 heading from Noorwood Young America MN to St.Louis Park MN, I was driving. I saw a large round ring of non blinking white light in a circular shape. I asked my sister to film it but she kept telling me it wouldn't show up so I tried to catch a video while driving in the storm. I have 2 of my own short videos, one is 17 seconds and the other 10 seconds. My sister has a much longer video but not of the object specifically, she was interested in the storm but her video does show it as well, briefly. I have looked though the video, frame by frame and do not see any light from the ground. There are lighting strikes that light up the sky with the lights in the air but I don't belive I can make out if there is any defined object in the circle of lights (if it one object or a collection of lights in a circle). There are also 2 smaller lights that appear to be slightly different in color that are not solid, but appear to blink in and out/off and on. One is in front of and above the circle of round lights and one is behind and lower than the circle. Having been driving in a storm, I could not film more myself and my sister was uncooperative. I do remember that I looked up to see how far the nearest lightning strike was as we saw the circle, the closest strike was 9 miles away but at no point did we hear ANY thunder, at ANY time during the storm we were driving in.

Also, looking through the footage frame by frame it almost looks like it jumped forward at one point but I do not know if it was due to my sister's poor filming skills.

I am not adding my sisters video due to its large size but it is available on my sister's personal/privated youtube account. I would need to get her permission to share that information but would be happy to ask her if needed.
P.S.

I have been attempting to load the 10 second & 17 second videos but it keeps coming back with "code 0" error codes. I will add some still shots of the videos, but I would love to be able to share the videos if there may be another way to do so. I do have them on my FB account if that is of any help. I was unmarried when I opened my FB account, so it is under my maiden name.

I did screen recorn my attempt to add even just 1 video at a time and the 0 code showing up.

If there is another way for me to get the footage to you, please do let me know.
Thank you.

Very bright light in sky moving erratically in south to southeast. At first, I thought it was ISS, but it didn’t move in a straight line. It seemed to waver on its path, didn’t move very fast, and made no sound. Did not move like a typical satellite. It looked maybe spherical and had an orange-white tint to it. It disappeared from view behind the tree line. A minute later, I went to front yard with a clear view of the same part of the sky, it was no where to be found. Conditions were clear skies with a little haze from Canadian wildfire smoke.

An orb appeared in the middle of the sky, slowly traversed East SE performed a big S shape maneuver and then vanished

After having sightings on Friday (7/12/24), Monday (7/15/24) and Tuesday (7/16/24), I wasn't planning on going outside anymore to watch. However, my boss told me he would be walking his dog from 9:00pm to 9:30pm this evening, so I decided I would give it one more day of watching. While I was outside, I was chatting with my brother on Facebook messenger while looking due north from my patio. I didn't physically see it just appear, but all the sudden there was just an orb in the open sky moving in an easterly direction. Based on where I saw it in the sky and it's direction at that time, this orb would have been visible for 4-5 minutes prior to getting to that spot in the sky and that simply wasn't possible with me looking at this section of sky the entire time. I told my brother I needed to go as a bright object just appeared. I then recorded the object, which appeared to be a couple thousand feet above the ground. I watched it for a bit and then opened my flight radar app (on the video) and the only thing in that direction was a gigantic Airbus350 about 10-15 miles north, which would be clearly visible as a jet at that distance (I've did trial and error to see what different planes and jets look like at 30X zoom and they are all clearly jets/planes).

I then went back to recording the object. It eventually can be seeing moving behind a tree. At this point it get up to get in a better position to see the object. I end up standing between two trees and zoom in on the object again. At this point in time (2:08 in the video), the object changes directions with conviction eventually making a big S shape. It started out traveling ESE, then turned to travel NNE before again changing direction to travel SE, at which point it was going through the tree in the foreground again. I side stepped to get it back into the frame, but the object had vanished. I search around the sky both with my eyes and the camera with no luck.

Was out for morning walk at 7:15am in clear sky and I thought I saw an extremely large pelican flying high but seemed way too big and didn’t make any wing movements nor was it shaped like a bird I am used to seeing. No sound/propulsion but I’d guess the size of a jet. Just a steady pace until it was out of sight.

Orb captured in the vicinity of fixed wing aircraft with proof that the fixed wing was the only object transponding

After seeing an orb on Friday, 7/12/2024 and then another the following Monday evening which I physically saw appear out of thin air, I was going to watch the skies tonight to see if I could witness another orb and boy was I not disappointed. I actually saw an object at 8:30pm (will upload that video as well - 3rd on the list of items uploaded and is daytime with the PXL prefix) which left a trail behind it and looked almost like it split into two orbs or changed shape. However, I thought it could have been a jet at high altitude and a long ways away (later compared to jets I saw in similar vacinity and it was definitely NOT a jet that I saw).

For the main sighting it was around 10:15pm when I saw an orb to my north west. It was traveling south east (towards me) and looked as if it kept the path it was going it would have traveled over my neighborhood just to the east of my house. As I was recording it an airplane had just taken off from the airport (a mile to my north) and was headed over my house to the west straight toward the orb. The orb at some point changed direction as the fixed wing aircraft was headed right towards the object. It changed from going south east to and was headed almost due east for a while. At one point they were so close that I captured both the airplane and the orb in the same shot on video within a couple of frames of each other. At this point, on the video, you can see me open my flight radar app and prove that the fixed wing airplane was the ONLY thing transponding in the vicinity at that time.

I continued to record the orb and wanted to record it until it went out of sight. I moved from on my patio and walked into the yard in order to capture the orb through to the horizon as much as possible. As I set up to record it and right as I zoomed into 30X on the object my camera app malfunctioned/froze and closed. This happened at the exact same time that the orb disappeared into thin air from my naked eye. It just vanished at the same time my camera app froze and malfunctioned.

NUFORC Note:

Daylight vidoe appears to be an aircraft with a contrail behind it.

Saw an orb appear out of thin air and slowly travel across the sky over 5 minutes

I was talking on the phone with my mother about the previous sighting I had just 3 nights earlier (7/12/2024) when I saw an orb appear out of thin air as I was watching the sky. I was chatting with her about calling the local airport (it's an international airport) and talking with someone about what I saw and whether or not I could get radar data or something to be able to tell what I saw exactly. The man at the airport said my sighting was interesting and that he was going to have someone from the FAA contact me tomorrow morning. We had chatted for nearly 40 minutes about various things and I got bored of listening to her so I went to the same window to look outside to see if any other orbs appeared. I was looking out of the window for a few minutes before my mom told me "I better let you get ready for bed". I told her I was actually looking out the same window as the previous night and kind of described that it was still too light out to see any stars at the moment and right at that time an Orb appeared in the open sky out of thin air and was slowly moving ENE. I told her that something just appeared but I needed to look at it a while longer because I thought I saw something blink or have a protrusion out of it. I watched it for another 15-20 seconds and then I told my mom I needed to look at my flight radar app to see if anything showed up. I opened the app and there was absolutely nothing on the flight radar app within 40-50 miles. I then told her I was going to hang up and go record video of the object.

I went outside and used both my phone's video mode to record about a 2 minute clip as well as AZScreenRecorder app after that to record another 2 minute clip. The reason I used AZScreenRecorder app is that it allows me to record what my phone sees while in PHOTO mode and gets me up to 30X zoom instead of just 20X with video mode.

This object was the only "celestial body" in the sky at this time of evening. No stars or planets were visible to the naked eye. The object never changed speed or direction as far as I could tell. There were times on the video where it looked as if the object disappeared for a brief moment and appeared in a different area close by, especially at the very end of the AZScreenRecorder version.
I will be eagerly awaiting my call from the FAA tomorrow morning to say the least.

Unknown craft changing shape as it flies in low altitude

I was watching tv in my living room. Saw something in my perfect vision. It was just Hovering there, And it caught my eye. Luckily had stayed there long enough for me to whip out my phone. Managed to catch about 45 seconds of it. But as it Started flying away from the Hovering position, It appeared to change shape as it was flying away, Changing from the shape of what looked like saturn To a rectangle. I'm a Veteran of the US ARMY, 13F 2011-2013. I'm not a dumby. This was weird as hell. If that was a drone, fhe way it clearly shaped shapes as it flew away... Mind blown still...

I saw a quite bright light out the window moving, went outside to record it on video. Not on flight radar.

I got done tucking my son into bed and as I was walking up the stairs I saw a quite bright object in the sky, I paused to look at it quick because I thought it was Venus. To be honest, it was brighter than Venus. At this time it was nearly straight above the house. However the object was moving. I then ran back downstairs and out the walkout patio to watch/record the object. It slowly/steadily moved across the sky. I zoomed in on my camera on my phone and it just looked like an orb/sphere. I thought I was recording but was just looking at my screen. At some point I did take a picture of the object unknowingly. After I realized I wasn't recording, I then switched to my video mode and captured the object moving. Before it got out of sight I wanted to confirm it wasn't seen on flight tracking software. So I quit recording and there wasn't an object on the flight radar in that area, only one lone plane about to fly over my house. So I took a screenshot of the flight radar at that time and then recorded the airplane. Clearly different objects.

Looking into sky for satellites and shooting stars

Watching the sky as there was some shooting star activity. As I was scanning and looking towards what I think was east in the twilight. I kept looking for the “seven”sisters telling my friend theres seven stars in the constellation.

Suddenly a bright light caught my eye. Brighter than any star in the sky, then I saw another bright light (orb) directly underneath it and half the size. They simply astonished me while trying to form words or thoughts trying to figure out what was going on I barely had the chance to tell my friend to look. While stupefied I witnessed the larger orb and smaller underneath it move in what seemed a uniform symbiotic fashion. The orbs seemed to move on a lateral direction then in a forward (away) motion.

The orbs got very bright by the time my friend saw what I was seeing and confirmed it to me. I thought I was losing my mind. Seriously…. The simply faded out into the darkness …

My friend and I tried to explain it to our group shortly after … I said it must have been an exploding star for it to get so bright and fade away like that. But not two of them at the same time … my friend came up with the theory they orbs or lights faded away when the ship hit its light speed thrusters.

I waited a while to post this trying to se if there were any similar sightings or stories.. none yet. In Minnesota around that time

My partner and I seen a floating orb in the sky. Looked as if it had the surface of the sun or lava. It was in the clouds but we could see it for about 3-5 seconds each. Long enough to notify the other of the flying craft and them seeing it comically hiding itself with a cloud. The cloud moved as if it were a cartoon cloud being dragged in front of it. Like some other force hid the craft from us being able to see it. It was pretty low to the ground but still in the clouds.

Light traveling fast and then vanished, followed by another aircraft.

Looks similar to a shooting star but vanished after about 3 seconds. Wasn’t as high up as passenger planes and was going significantly faster (could be that it was closer to me vs a plane). I thought it could be a drone bc it was going so fast but it’s late at night so I’d imagine you couldn’t see much on a drone. The second aircraft was following it. This one had white and red flashing lights and was the same distance from ground level as the first one. I couldn’t really tell but the silhouette from the clouds made it also look like a drone. I couldn’t see in enough detail so maybe it was a a jet. The second aircraft never vanished and I could see it cross the sky the entire way. This is my third time seeing something like the first ufo in the area, all around the same time of night within the last 2 and a half years. The first one was green and the second one red. They both were like a flash across the sky and then vanish. And they are all during the warmer months.

I witnessed a ufo go above my head glowing bright green with a yellow center!

I got in an argument with my girlfriend, so I went outside for a walk up the hill and I sat up there on the cement wall on the sidewalk until I was ready to go back into the apartment and I’m walking down the hill slowly, and it’s very cold outside. I’m only wearing a thin sweater. As I’m walking back down the hill, I’m staring towards downtown Minneapolis at a red light coming from downtown. next thing you know out of thin air up in the sky appears a bright green ball moving fast overhead heading in direction of downtown where I was looking. It went straight cut left cut back to the right at an angle, went straight for a second, and disappeared back into thin air. then I stood there in shock for at least 30 seconds to a minute. Immediately after I processed what happened I went to call my brother, and when I got back inside, I instantly told everyone what just happened before going back to the earlier argument, which caused me to leave the apartment in the first place.

I was driving east when I looked up in the north east sky and saw what i thought at first was the sun shining off an airplane, it didn’t seem to be moving so I checked My Radar app and there was no aircraft in the area. Once i saw nothing on radar I looked back up to the sky and it was gone.

Woke up to a bright white light outside balcony window with a blue tint or like veil in the room.

It was super bowl night and I fell asleep on the couch after the game. I was totally sober. At 1:45 I was jolted awake to a bright round white light just outside my balcony window on the 16th floor. It seemed very close and at my level. There was like a light or veil that lit the whole room blue. I could not move but out of the corner of my eye i saw my dog running out of the room. The only thing I remember thinking and screaming in my head was THIS IS REAL, over and over. Then it just shot off in the blink of an eye. I do not know how long this took but I would guess over 20 seconds but for sure under a minute. This honestly and easily could have been a dream but I have never thought that once since it happened. I didn't sleep the rest of the night. The next night i was screaming in my sleep. My girlfriend was trying to poke me to wake me up and I accidentally hit her in my sleep. Since then I wake up every morning in almost a panic attack.

Location: Albert Lea, MN, USA
Location details: Above the City of Albert Lea, MN

Shape: Light
Color: White
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: NW
Angle of Elevation: 45


White light in the sky, no sound, and no wingtip/tail lights.

On the evening of 2/1/24 my young son and I went on a neighborhood walk after supper. I glanced up at the sky and noticed a light that looked like a slowly moving star. I then realized it was too close to be a star and thought it could be a small airplane. However, it had no wing tip or tail lights that flashed. It was a solid white light. Planes have headlights, but typically only use them for take offs and landings. The object was heading from the NW to SE. There was no deviation of flight pattern. It was moving too slowly to be a small or commercial airplane and the altitude seemed to be higher than a small plane and too low to be a commercial flight. See videos.

Three large orange lights . When I caught them on video they were already 10 times smaller then they were when I first saw them.

There were 3 fairly large orange orbs floating/flying together, but with some space between them. They caught my eye because the color looked like a fireball, they didn't blink or flash, they didn't have a crisp light like a helicopter or plane would have. I watched for a couple minutes before they slowly disappeared .

While in my backyard, I noticed moving white light in sky, which was clear with no clouds, and very dark out. This light was very bright and shiny, and moved overhead from a W/SW direction. I used my binoculars to see any details, but it just looked like a bright white light, somewhat spherical. As it tracked above my location toward the E/NE, it seemed to move in a slightly wiggling or erratic path. As I watched, it also seemed to slow down in its path. After about 2 minutes of viewing, I went inside the house to get a coat, and watch it from the front of our house. About 30 secs later as I went to front yard (thinking it would still be in sight), it had disappeared. I didn't behave or look like a high altitude satellite, which I've seen many times before. What was noticeable was its brightness and how close it seemed to the Earth (relatively speaking). I checked the location of the International Space Station, and the ISS was not above North America, so I don't think it was that.
