NUFORC Sighting 148587

Occurred: 2019-08-31 22:44 Local
Reported: 2019-09-01 11:28 Pacific
Duration: ~30 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Minnetonka, MN, USA

Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Lights on object

we saw an oval of lights in the clouds at night with breaks in between so it wasn’t a solid oval.

it was 10:44 pm when my friend and i saw the lights. we were parked on a side part of the road where excelsior blvd and saint albany’s bay rd intersect at (44.9066, -93.5380). it overlooks a highway and it has a good, clear view of the sky.

we saw the lights in the sky and thought it looked weird. we couldn’t see any objects because it was kind of cloudy where the lights were so you could only see the lights through the clouds.

my friend thought the lights were from the high school football field lights so we drove there (about 5 mins away from where we were parked) but it wasn’t.

the lights were a white color and were in the form of an oval from where we were but i feel like it would look like a circle if we were directly under it. the lights in the shape were not a solid oval, there were breaks in between the lights. the oval also looked like it was a pretty big size too.

we couldn’t really see it move considering we were moving most of the time in the car to try to find possible answers. we only saw one but it could have been 10-ish small objects in the form of an oval.

NUFORC Note:

We suspect that the witnesses were observing the advertising lights being projected on the bottoms of clouds by a local casino. PD
