Reported: 1999-08-29 00:00 Pacific
Duration: Several Days at the same
No of observers: 2

Location: Bloomington (East Bloomington), MN, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

This seemingly craft has been hanging around here all summer! But tonight it came closer and we could see three lights in the shape of a triangle. It circled our house for awhile. It seemed to hide on the horizon and when I went outside to let the dog in from the backyard it came up towards me. I didn't hear a sound the whole time. We live right by the main international airport and we also live by the military base. Is this a new aircraft they are trying? It hovers! It sits in one place for a while (3 minutes, 15 minutes, hours... then with no warning it flys. It flys like an airplane, but I get the sense that it, or they can see me because it reacts to me when I go out of doors! Very strange! Have seen similar triangular lights following jet contrails in the sky throughout the summer! I pulled my husband out twice to look because I didn't want to think I was seeing something that could be explained away as a regular aircraft. The oddest thing about this experience was that there was no sound at all the whole time!
