All Reported UFO Sightings in Williston, North Dakota

Strange craft may have caused shorts on rail road tracks I worked for the railroad and was called out on a trouble call early AM in the mourning. The trouble call was that the two tracks had a short for several miles. This was unusual because to do this it would cause four circuits to go bad at the same time.

Each circuit running through the track has its own back up batteries and it is unheard of for all four to short at same time. I got on the track with my high rail truck and headed west inspecting the track as I went. About half way I noticed a flash of light coming at me at a high speed.

At first I thought meteor. It startled me and I slammed on my brakes. By the time I stopped a blue light hovered about 20 ft away from the front of my truck.

I tried to back up and it shot to the rear of my truck forcing me to stop and go forward again. It then shot in front of my truck again. I stopped again the craft then hovered around my truck making quick moves right to left.

This lasted several minutes. I finally got my wits back and took several pictures with my cell phone. Shortly after I started taking pictures it shot off to the south at high speed and was gone.

I have the ability to monitor the shorts on the track with my laptop in real time. Within minutes of the craft leaving the shorts went away. I cleared the trouble ticket as problem cleared on its own.

Later I told my supervisor and manager and showed them the pictures.

Needless to say i didnt get any sleep and by the time the sun started to come up it was gone. ((NUFORC Note: Probably not a UFO.

PD)).

Three orange dots in a triangular shape over ND My friend and I were outside having a cigarette. My friend stated "UFO! and pointed in the sky. I looked up and saw three orange dots traveling northeast to Southwest.

The dots were in a triangular shape traveling at a high rate of speed faster than a shooting star. The dots were spaced evenly as they moved. Just before we lost site of the shape the bottom two dots broke formation and headed in opposite directions as if the shape were expanding.

The dots picked up speed and we lost site of them.

Driving at night, saw a blue light, all electronics suddenly shut off Conditions: clear night sky, dark, no weather. I was driving eastbound on 1804, east of Buford, heading towards Williston. I was driving a 1998 Lincoln (great condition) and had 3 children with me, 2 of whom were sleeping.

My oldest child (12 yr old) was awake and recalls the event as well. With peripheral vision, I noticed a bright blue light traveling above the tree line, about a mile away, at the exact speed we were traveling (65 mph). This took place over about 30 - 40 seconds, until I recall turning my head to get a better look (by now I had ruled out almost everything else that could be doing this).

I can remember gazing at the light briefly (it was definitely above the tree line, and there was sky noted between it and the earth, with nothing holding it up) before EVERYTHING 'electrical' in my car shut off briefly before returning to function as though it never happened. I'm talking headlights, every dash light,stereo, cell phones, hand held video games, MP3 player.everything.

I don't recall the engine ever sputtering. Afterwards, I noticed that the light was no longer following us. I was so calm, almost as though it were no big deal; I'm the type of person whose heart usually stops beating at any driving 'close call'.

Talking with my son later, he said it was almost dream like in recollection (he normally has impeccable recall). I also recall getting to our destination later than expected and wondering why. (This doesn't need to be included with the report, but it is interesting) Almost 10 years later, an MRI of my brain showed a perfectly square abnormality that only appeared in one imaging slice, which means that it was extremely thin.

Neurologist said he'd never seen anything like it and joked about it being an alien implant.).

Full Report Text:

I was approximately 8 years old. My sister was driving us home, located towards the north end of town. It was an overcast day, slightly misty, but not so much so as to impede visibility to a large degree.

We were alone on the road, and I noticed some objects to the left of the car, very low to the ground, pacing our car. I recall my sister being frightened, and I was scared as well. I recall her speeding up to try and outrun the objects, but they stayed with us.

Interestingly, the next thing I remember is being on my front step, and it was now very dark, and much later. The whole missing time thing. I've never spoken of this with my sister, and now, so many years later, I am not really sure about how to bring it up to her.
