North Dakota UFO Sightings in 2001

Full Report Text:

Coming from Grand Forks going west on highway 15. We were looking at Christmas lights when we noticed 5 white lights to the south of us in a circular position.These lights were big not like an airplanes.

They flashed one at a time, when the last one came on the others disapeared.Then the lights disappeared.This was a moonless night and we didn't see what shape the object was that the lights came from.

So as the lights dissapeared we looked for a sign to let us know our location and it said Aneta 3 miles.That's it.

Looked like a satelite, but made turns and loops Saw at what first appeared to be a satelite tracking accross the early morning sky just before daybreak. It then started to make movements (s-turns,loops, etc.).

This went on for several minutes and then the light went to the north at a very high rate of speed out of sight. I saw a similar event two years ago in the same area. ((NUFORC Note: One of two similar reports for the same date, from the same witness.

PD)).

moving objects in the sky Okay we were sitting outside having some tea because it was so warm out. All of a sudden my auntie seen something behind us and I looked back and I seen two star-looking things going in unison towards my right. I couldnt beleieve that I was actually witnessing something because I always try to keep an eye out for unsual activity in the sky.

anyway we sat there for an hour watching these move around in the sky all over. At times there was also a flashing one in which the the others seem to go towards. I know for a fcat they were NOT fighter jets or planes or falling stars and even satelites.

Red -orange firey disk that flew past me slowly, and then speedup and was out of sight in about 10 seconds. I was traveling on Highway 85 in southwestern North Dakota near White Butte the highest point in North Dakota. I saw what I believe to be two commercial aircraft flying from east to west approximately 30 miles south of me, actually all that I could see was their strobe lights steadily flashing across the southern sky.

As I was driving along and observing these flashing lights, a saucer shaped craft went past me on my right side. The craft was flying vertically, at about 100 feet above ground, about 200 yards to the west of the road, traveling at a speed of about 100mph. The craft then speed up and started gaining altitude,and looked to be heading straight towards one of the commercial aircraft that I was observing.

It only took the saucer shaped aircraft about 6 or7 seconds to close the gap between it and the airliner,it looked like the saucer just missed the airliner to its rear and then in about 2 more seconds the saucer was clean out of sight. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD)).
