NUFORC UFO Sighting 156412
Occurred: 2020-05-12 02:30 Local
Reported: 2020-05-12 00:59 Pacific
Duration: 3 minutes


Location: Hermantown, MN, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

Bright light moving across sky at upbeat pace toward Lake Superior until undetectable by the eye.

I went outside to walk my dog before going to bed at around 2:30am. I live in a townhome complex in Hermantown, MN. As I was walking my dog, I heard a sound that I can only describe as ominous. It was like a low grumble/rattle and sounded almost like construction equipment. Confused, I looked around and saw nothing nearby, and due to the time, nobody would be working.

I decided to call a friend, as the feeling of something bad about to happen made me feel extremely worried of being outside. As I walked around the townhome complex, I was gazing at the stars, as the sky was pristinely clear. I saw what I assume to be an airplane (a few rhythmic blinking lights moving at average speed). Then, as I scanned the sky, I fixated on what appeared to be an extremely bright star. As I watched this star while talking to my friend, I noticed it was moving.

I stopped walking to ensure I wasn’t seeing things, and the object continued to move across the sky smoothly yet quickly headed north/east (toward Lake Superior). The object moved at an upbeat pace, and appeared to be getting smaller and smaller. I walked around the corner, as it was about to be blocked from my view by one of the townhomes, and by the time I rounded the corner a minute later, it was gone. The eerie feeling had left my body, too. The airplane was still visible in the sky. Overall, I was shocked that I saw something so clearly that looked so much like a star. It blended in perfectly to the night sky, only detectable by a still eye. It was brighter than all other stars, however dimmed as it got further away and smaller.

details of my first sighting of triangle in Hermantown. I don't know its altitude, but it took up half my windshield!

first of all, i'd like to say i'm very excited to share my observations with this site(which i just discovered). In roughly august 2001, i was driving northbound on highway 53 through hermantown. when i got to the dopplar radar, my friend's dad(itting shotgun), pointed to a "airplane" on the left side of the road. i thought nothing of it at first, but then realized it was much too large to be a commercial jet and started watching it. the craft continued to cross the highway directly over my car. i stopped right on the highway(as other motorists sped by!) the craft took up over half my windshield relatively-wise and i saw it clear as day. the most striking characteristic to me was that the craft did not seem aerodynamic at all! it was like a triangle, blocky ship(like a triangle brick, very thick)ttom. it was not smooth and was covered in what i can only describe as"piping and ductwork" this thing looked like it should just drop from the sky like a brick. it was equilateral with had a large white light on each corner and a blinking red light in the center.i got out of my car to listen and there was no noise. i know this thing landed just over the treeline, not more than 500 ft from hwy 53! it was right next to the ANG base(which is definitely in operation, by the way) on the right side of road by Pure Pleasures and the national weather service Dopplar station. this was the most exciting thing i have ever seen and it gave me newfound faith in the strength of the US military. if this thin could carry troops or tanks, it will change warfare forever. i watch the sky by hermantown everytime i drive by it; and i'm willing to bet this craft lands here every day around 10-1030. i have seen the light pattern numerous times(app. 4-5)n, but never anywhere near as close as my first sighting. this ship has enormous capabilities, possibly cloaking( in one daytime sighting, the ship seemed to be the same blue as the horizon, only the bright lights showing) it also moves very fast(one evening sighting, the tri-light pa! ttern wa s over the treetops traveling south parrallel with the highway seemed to kick it down and go really fast towards hermantown. this light pattern was as big as a nickle relatively speaking.) sorry if this message is too long, but i'm excited that theres an organization that studies this type of thing. i dont want to jeopardize national security, but this craft is real and I personally believe it is based out of the hermantown air national guard base. your investigators best time would be between 930-1030. there are numerous business parking lots right along the highway. If i owned a camcorder i'd be there already! i just wonder why this craft has been stationed up here so long(at least one year) i hope this information leads you to an equally as amazing sight as we were treated to. Peace ((name deleted))

my feiance and I were driving home from a weekend out of town. We were driving south on hwy 53 just north of hermantown minnesota..When we noticed a rather low flying aircraft with a whole aray of lights coming from it.....Not like a normal jet with lights flashing and headlights blaring forwards. The lights on this craft were emanating from it....they were very bright and there where many of them....At first we could just see a side profile and it was very difficult to make out a shape...as it got closer it came along side of the freeway with us and you could make out a shape that being a trianglular and very large with 9 lights on the bottom..six yellow,three green, and one red at the very rear....The aircraft was about 100 feet above our heads and made no noise what so ever.......
