Plasma Shower???

I decided to lay in my hot tub at about 7 pm on Sunday, March 6th, 2016.

About a half an hour later I noticed out of the corner of my eye to the north what I thought was a wave or ripple in the sky which is very typical when the northern lights are going to put on a show.

I got a different show instead.

I saw 30 to 40 "somethings" between 7 pm and 10 pm - it was almost like watching traffic or a decent metor shower.

They were triangle shaped to blob shaped. Most were translucent or perhaps a hazy or streaked white and at arm's length 2 to 4 inches in size.

Two I saw very clearly and one was a three points of light triangle. The other one had several orangeish lights.

I have been an avid sky watcher for 15 years and spent most of the time watching commercial aircraft fly over. Never seen anything unusal until recently.

Is southern Minnesota in a flap right now?
