Location: Bigfork, MN, USA

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Outdoor grilling with neighbor, when he spotted red glowing object in the sky. Altitude of object was approx. what you'd expect from a small plane, but there was no noise from it nor the blinking light[s]. I can only guess its distance because we couldn't be sure of its scale.

It moved from south to north at a steady but slow pace.... We had trees near us that obscured it partially, but actually had time to try [unsuccessfully] to get our wives to come out and view this. We had been out on our pontoon less than an hour earlier on probably the calmest evening I can ever remember so thinking this was a burning ember being blown about by the wind wouldn't have made sense.
