Giant triangle-shaped craft at very low altitude right over North Minneapolis Sometime in the Summer of 1993, when I was 12 years old, me, my brother, and my best friend ((name deleted)) were playing outside. We were going about our business as usual on the blacktop hill at the school across the street from my house. The weather was perfect.

At any rate, I saw ((name deleted)) eyes get real wide as he looked at the sky. I looked up and what I saw was amazing. I saw what appeared to be a triangular shaped craft of some kind.

I can clearly recall that the bottom was bordered with a green glowing light, and there was a large circular orange light right in the middle of the bottom of the craft. So basically, I was looking a a big green-rimmed triangle with a circular orange light in the center. When I first looked at it it seemed like it was quite far away.

Like it was just passing overhead. But to my mixed horrer/awe/excitement as soon as I looked at the damned thing it slowly but surely started coming right at me. It felt as though I were attached to it by some kind of string, and that by looking at it I was pulling it towards me.

Like we were magnetically attracted and we had reached the point of no return, and a collision was inevitable. I also had this odd feeling that everything but me and the object had ceased to exist. I mean, everything was still around me, but it was like everything but me and the ship was on pause or something.

As it descended towards me I watched in awe as it just kept coming closer, and closer, and closer. And the closer it came, the bigger I realized it was. Eventually the thing got so low that I thought it would squash me along with 3/4 of my city block.

It was truly amazing. It was gigantic, and it came down right over me in the middle of North Minneapolis! I would have expected chaos around me if I had been thinking clearly. I mean, cars should have been pulled over honking, people should have been yelling, etc.

But no. Complete calm. And the calm seemed perfectly natural to me.

So, when the ship had come so low that i could hit it with a baseball it was like I snapped out of a trance and panic overwhelmed me. I immediately burst towards my front door across the street. Upon my first step was the first time my brother and my friend had entered my awareness since I first spotted the object.

I don't actually remember physically running across the street, but that may have been due to pure panic. Anyway, I got to the door with my brother and friend scrambling right behind me. I took one last look up as I darted into the house, and there was nothing there.

An odd side note. My brother only remembers seeing the thing from a very far distance. He remembers a big ass light far up in the sky and that's about it.

((name deleted)) remembers the thing descending, but he doesn't remember it getting nearly as close as I do. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).

There was a large bright white steady light that I could see behind the trees. At first I thought it was an airplane, but the light nev I was driving home from work at 11:45pm and I saw a large bright light at the end of the dirt road where I lived. It was behind the trees near my driveway and at first I thought it was an airplane but the light never moved.

When I pulled into the driveway, I saw that the light had moved. It was now lower in the sky and seemed to be maybe 2 miles to the east of my cabin. It didn't move or flash.

Very odd place for a light to be. I had 75 acres of wetland and it adjoined state land which is also wetland for several miles, then forest. I give this description to put into prospective that I lived at the end of dead end road with no souls living to the east of me.

The light was steady and was just above the treeline several miles away. I stood in the driveway and watched it for about five minutes. I went inside and let the dog out and then went to the window to look at the light again.

It had moved again. It was now north a bit and when I moved my head to get a better view from a different window pane, the light disappeared from view behind an out building. I went back out into the yard to see it again, but the light was gone.

Oval luminous object traveling north at tremendous speed. Elongated at exceleration. Was not transparent.

Sky: unlimited,clear visibility. My daughter (14) and I were in the front yard talking. It was 10:30 pm and the sky was absolutely clear with stars evrywhere.

Suddenly my daughter said "what's that". Looking over my shoulder there was an oval light source approx. 30 ft in diameter about 40 - 50 feet above our house.

It was not transparent as it blotted out the star field. As soon as both of us were focused on it the object elongated and streaked due north toward Minneapolis (40 mi away). It vanished over the horizon in 2-3 seconds.

I served 2 1/2 yrs in the 2d Marine Air Wing and have experience w/aircraft of all types. This was unknown. At no time did it fall to the earth.

but traveled a parallel path w/ the terrain.
