From: "Donna" To: artesia@usa.net Subject: Strange lights in Minneapolis Minn area mid 90's Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2000 15:59:26 -0600 I have always wanted to see something... but my logic usually makes that impossible. Following I have included the only 2 times that I have ever seen ANYTHING! one we figured out and the other is still out there with big ??? all around it. If anyone else saw anything like story #2 please post it on here. thanks My "identifiable object" story I am the sceptic of the first sort.. wanting to believe in things but always seeing a plausible explanation to things. The only time I truely believed that I was seeing something was when I was in highschool with 2 other people drivig thru a heavy fog in front and about the car was a large bank of lights.. resembling lights around a saucer shaped object.. as we stared and got closer and closer and it was almost over the car.. all we could say was oh my God! I am surprized we did not crash.. we all saw the pole that the round bank of lights was attached to appear out of the fog.. it was a tall light in the middle of a mixmaster type area of the road. I had one brief moment of truely thinking I had seen the real thing. Now for a real unidentified object story On a business trip in Minneapolis back somewhere between 1994 and 1997 I was staying at a hotel across from the Mall of America (out by the airport). I was on the trip alone and was bored so I went and wandered around the mall for a couple of hours.. When I drove into the hotel parking lot and parked I notices outside of the drivers side window of the car how bright and big the moon appeared. Very beautiful... then I noticed two comparitively smaill dots of light below the moon ... from the perspecive of the oversized moon they were not much bigger than 3 or 4 pinheads (assumed they were ar a very great distance) a few inches apart (imaging the moon as the size of a saucer plate .. each dot appeared a few incles below the moon (perspective wise) one to the left of center and one to the right of center.. if the moon is the size of a saucer plate I would describe the "dots' as the size of a bottle cap maybe smaller (an pencil eraser .. on the end of a pencil) anyway.. by the time my attenention focused on these dots and wondered about them (they were standing still at that point) they "suddenly" went upward and inward in a squiggedly route until they were one light and then their light disappered into the light of the moon. This all happened in the blink of an eye.. and left an impression kind of like a camera flashing into your eyes. I sat there a few minutes with my mouth open. then when I went into my room I drew a picture of it on a napkin so that I would not forget. The next day the whole incident was almost as if it were a dream. I really did not know what to do with the info so I think I just stashed it away. I have told only a few people about the incident and still have no idea what I saw. I am very sceptical but I know that I saw something and I can not find that the pattern of movement can be attributed to a star of similar body.. I can't remember when this happened . If anyone else has seen something similare in the Minniapolis St Paul area I would love to know about it. I saw a show on the History channel today about UFO's and this made me wonder if anyone else had witnessed anything of that description. Please send to artesia@usa.net and I hope that they will pass it on to me or I will read it as a post on this site soon. Thank you |
