Occurred : 8/13/2017 05:00 (Entered as : 08/13/2017 5:00) Reported: 1/1/2019 1:42:49 PM 13:42 Posted: 1/4/2019 Location: Des Moines, IA Shape: Light Duration: 15 minutes Characteristics: The object changed color
Light in the sky that randomly changed color. I had been driving from Minneapolis to Des Moines and had dropped a friend off West of Des Moines. As I drove East on I-80, I saw a light that was moving in strange ways. It was most definitely not a plane. It was moving behind clouds then back out into plain sight. There were no flashing lights on it, but it kept changing color seemingly randomly. It would change between red, blue and yellow. I pulled over to get a video with my phone but when I got out of the car, it was gone. I had this odd feeling that it knew I was watching it… as if there was a connection between the object and me.
