Duration: 2-3 minutes

Location: Jordan, MN, USA

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

First we saw about 20 black hawks high in the sky, and they seemed huge proportionally. Then we saw about 8 white small (maybe round drone shaped?) aircrafts flying very high and very close.

First we thought it was weird for white birds to be flying in formation and so high. Then we saw them descending rapidly in formation and with bright lights facing us.

Suddenly, they change direction and disappear.

They all re-appeared and repeated same process again. Disappeared and I'm not going away until I see them again

Location: Jordan, NY, USA

Shape: Sphere


We were using a Bushnell Equinox Z night vision monocular; the night was clear. While we looked in the direction of North suddenly a sphere appeared in the viewfinder. It went left to right, then behaved in an erratic manner, dropping down suddenly.

We shined a laser pointer in its general direction; it seemed to hesitate, then continued to head in an easterly direction. We lost sight of it behind a tree. We have a film.




NUFORC Note:

The witnesses apparently have a film, but do not appear to have sent it. They remain totally anonymous, and provide no contact information, so we have no means of contacting them. PD

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Left a trail

25 miles from Jordan, Montana, driving North on hwy 200, 7:40pm, November 17th, 2016...the sky suddenly lit up, so bright like it was daytime...my first thought was that the moon had come out from behind the clouds and then I remembered we had had a full moon several days ago.

Off to the East, I saw what I can only describe as a "comet", or what I think one would look like. It was a bright green bright ball with light trailing behind it, tails? And it fell off into the dark sky and disappeared.

The entire experience was less than a minute, feels considerably longer because of how detailed I remember the experience being and all the thoughts I had in the few seconds trying to rationalize what I saw

This isn't a report, but I would like to explain the recent reports of the lights in Minneapolis, MN.

These are advertising lights for a casino called Mystic Lake in Shakopee, MN.






NUFORC Note:

We agree. The lights probably were from the casino. PD

Occurred: 2014-03-20 20:00 Local
Reported: 2014-03-20 22:48 Pacific
Duration: 20-25 seconds
No of observers: 3

Location: Jordan, MN, USA

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Lights on object

Narrow, long object with 3 green lights (top row), 3 red lights (bottom row).

Statement 1st person:
On March 20, 2014, at approximately 8:00 pm, I saw a UFO in Jordan, Minnesota. I saw it with my mom and dad. My mom and dad were watching TV, when my mom spotted something in the sky. She called me over and we looked. The UFO was towards the East, and it was a little lower than a normal plane would fly. It was a circular disk with three green lights and three red lights in a row. It was about the size of 1/3 of the moon. The lights were three times the size of an airplane’s lights. It hovered up, down, back and forth in a strange routine. It stayed there for about 20 seconds, hovering in different positions. When it left, it looked as if it was diving. It was lowering away slowly, but then dashed away very quickly before it disappeared from our point of view. It looked like it lowered behind the house across the street, yet I felt it was miles away.


Statement 2nd person:
I live in Jordan, MN. On March 20, 2014, approximately 8:00 pm, my wife and I were in our family room watching TV. I had just gotten up from the couch and was walking to the kitchen when my wife yelled, "Look at this!" I turned and noticed she was looking out our windows toward the East. I looked immediately out our dining room patio door also towards the East. What I saw was three very bright green lights and next to that three red lights. All were very intense, and the object seemed to be suspended. The object was approx. 20 degrees above my plane of vision and appeared to be very close, like it was in the neighboring development just above the house that is across the pond in our backyard. But it wasn’t close, I would say the object was 1/3 the size of a full moon from my perspective.

As I watched it, it tilted slightly, then dipped only to come back to the same level it had been at. This happened a few times, all the while those 3 green and 3 red lights were extremely bright, I would say 3 to 4 times the size of a landing light on a plane, and by the way, I am a private pilot, licensed since 1996, so I am familiar with airplanes and what they look like in the sky, this was no airplane. One of the times it tilted and dipped, I saw what appeared as a circular gray shadow underneath the lights, also there was a red flashing light underneath. This whole thing lasted maybe 20 seconds.

The last thing I saw was the lights fell away to the right and continued until they were out of sight, blocked by the house behind ours. The rate at which it descended was smooth and very quick. Our house is approx 30 miles South West of MSP airport, and we always have airplane traffic visible to the East on a SW heading, again, I am use to seeing the rate at which they pass by our house while they are climbing to altitude. The object moved down and away at a rate at least 5 times that speed.


Statement 3rd person:
I live in Jordan, Minnesota; approximately 35 miles Southwest from Minneapolis. I often look out our Living Room windows facing East to watch the planes from the MSP airport fly past our home. Tonight, March 20th, 2014, at dusk, I looked out the window and about 200 yards away, above our neighbor’s house I saw an object hovering in the air with extremely bright lights. The long, horizontal shape had a top layer of three greenish-blue lights and a bottom layer of three red lights. My husband, also curious about these lights, opened the patio door to listen for sound. I thought as close as this thing looked to our neighbor’s house, we should be able to hear it; but it was quiet.

To help you gauge the size; If you hold your arm out straight and flex your hand, (palm away), the size of each light was comparable to a pinky fingernail. Then, your arm still stretched, tuck your thumb and pinky finger into the palm of your hand and the width of this object in the sky would be comparable to your three middle fingers held tight together.

The object would move a little to the left/downward and then be steady, it moved like this a few times. The next movement convinced me these lights were not a standard item you see in the sky. If you can imagine the shape of a banana, the lights tilted and dipped in an arch shape movement and then hovered again at a lower level in the sky. This movement was extremely abrupt, then steady. The object then glided swiftly at an angle (downward) and we lost sight of it behind the neighbors house. We saw these lights in the sky for about 20-25 seconds.




NUFORC Note:

We spoke via telephone with two of the three witnesses, and they sounded to us to be exceptiongally eloquent and sober-minded. We suspect that all of the witnesses are exceptionally capable, and have reported here quite accurately. PD

Jordan, MN two orange globes

My neighbors and I were sitting at our bonfire when I noticed a bright orange light come into view. It flew over our heads as we were all staring up at it my neighbor yells out here comes another one it flew in the first ones exact path. Both were silent and the only noise we heard was the fan from my air in the house and crackle of the bonfire. They were flying at a much slower pace than an airplane. I could tell they were rather close to the ground but could not judge an aproximate distance. The globes seemed to be about the size of a soccer ball from our distance though. They were headed southwest, they took a slight curve to the west about a mile after passing over us. Both than stopped and hovered in location once they had gotten what seemed to me about five to ten miles away. The one in lead was on the bottom right and started to sway left and right and than moved upwards towards the tailing light as they got closer the lead than faded out. The tail li! ght than hovered for around another fifteen seconds until it faded out as well. My neighbor tried to capture video of it and her phone died seconds after pointing it towards the globes. Her battery was fully charged and has never had problems with phone battery in past.

I was out side at about 7:30 at night with my telescope, when I happened to look up at the sky and saw what I at first thought was a shooting star until I noticed a single red light on it's side.I took a guess that there must have been a light on the other side to.It was flying at an incredible speed,somewhere around the speed of light.I wasn't able to see any thing else because before I knew it,it was gone.

Very bright "wing span" lights too large to seem like a plane with about 5 green lights in circular pattern in back on 2 very low pla

We were approaching an intersection on state Hwy 169 and a county road next to Jordan. As we were approaching the intersection, I notice 4 very bright lights - in a pair above the treeline in the west.

I didn't know what they were and my boyfriend thought they must be tower lights of somekind. I was not aware of any toweres being built there, but thought it might be a reasonable conclusion.

As time went on, I thought they were moving to the east and toward us and the town. At that point, we thought they might be military planes as there is a strip in the area somewhere. But, I felt these craft were too big to be military planes. However, it was dark and so one couldn't see much but the lights.

As we passed through the interestion, I continued to watch and noticed the lights on the craft. I felt they were not the usual lighting of commercial planes. I am not that familiar with military planes, but the back lights did not seem to reflect that of tail lights - but a circular set of green lights (maybe 5). There was at least one red blinking light.

We turned around to get a better look while the crafts were flying over the Hwy. We thought we would be able to get a good look because they seemed to move slowly. But, as we turned around, we were not able to see much else at a close range. They were at a low altitude like military planes, but we did not hear any loud engine sounds like I have heard in the past. I guess I didn't think that much about it because we were in a car and may not have been able to hear a noise like that.

I think the biggest thing that stands out is that the "wing span" of the bright 2 lights (left and right) seemed way too wide for a plane and most of all, I have not seen green lights like that before on a plane. I have seen lots of military planes in the area and this did not seem to be like what I had seen before.

This witness might have seen C-130 Hercules planes flying in formation into the MInneapolis airport. I go to school in Mankato which is south of Jordan. I foten see C-130s flying one after the other heading north following 169.
