ARTICLE LIGHTS EDIT KEN PFEIFER 8-20-15 PIC 1 STRANGE CIRCLE OF LIGHTS WITNESSED OVER MINNESOTA AUGUST 9, 2015 ……..MINNEAPOLIS MINNESOTA Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sunday, August 09th, 2015, @ 22:30 hrs. (Central) — Multiple witnesses observe a peculiar ring of lights, which hovered in the nighttime sky for up to an hour. At least one witness reports that the lights were visible for up to an hour.  We wonder whether the formation might have been advertising lights, but some witnesses reported that some of the lights disappeared before the rest of them did, which seems to us to militate against their being part of an advertising display. We would like to invite anyone who witnessed the formation of lights, or anyone who knows what the cause of them was, to submit a report, using our Online Report Form.

Witness 1

Lakeville, Minnesota – 08-09-15 Shape: Circle – Duration: 1 hour A circle of 12 white lights, not moving. The sighting was of a circle of 12 white lights, which were stationary in the sky. They would occasionally fade and then come back bright again.  We watched for about an hour before they completely faded, no idea how long they had been there before we spotted them. A second smaller circle of lights could be seen under the first one as it faded. We have some good photos. Three other people, a mile from our house, also saw the same thing after we asked them to look.

Witness 2

Location: Edina, Minnesota – 08-09-15 Shape: Oval – Duration: 1 hour An oval of lights in the distance moved to another part in the sky in a blink almost.  My brother walks to his job at the hospital in Edina. It was around 11:30 when he called and told me to look outside. To the southwest, I saw this very wide oval of soft lights in the distance.  It stayed there for until it faded for a second and reappeared just a few feet to the right. (Distance of a foot compared to the sky.) It faded again.  I dont know what the …. I saw and I called everyone I could close to me but they live at least 30 minutes away from me, so I don’t think the viewing was correct for them. My brother saw it and so did I.  Freaking out right now. I don’t know what to thing about this.

Witness 3

Chanhassen, Minnesota – 08-09-15 Shape: Circle – Duration: 10 minutes Circular object with bright lights seen in suburban Chanhassen, MN.  Perfect circular shape. Bright lights above the thick clouds. Appeared and remained stationary for a few mins (about 10 mins). Then disappeared when an aircraft approached.  We live in a very quiet neighborhood. No lights were beamed from below. It wasn’t flying in the air like a kite with lights.

Witness 4

Lakeville, Minnesota – 08-09-15 Shape: Circle – Duration: 15 minutes Circle of white lights, not moving, not high in the western night sky.  This was a very large circle of lights, all white and in equal size. There were approximately 8-10 lights, spaced very evenly apart.  The circle appeared to be over interstate 35. This was in the western sky. It wasn’t that high in the sky, the lights were not bright, but soft as I believe there was a slight cloud cover. The circle was not moving.

Witness 5

Savage, Minnesota – 08-09-15 Shape: Circle – Duration: 25 minutes Circle of lights in the Savage sky. There was a circle of 13 individual lights, stationary. In watching them, the upper left quadrant faded, then eventually came back. During that time the right lower quadrant faded, then the lower half faded.  All lights then came back with slower start to fade individually. After 20 min, all but 3 lights on the left side remained, then a group of three in a different formation came back.  It looks like it reformed but my view is blocked by large trees. As it is humid and cloud covered tonight, it was easy to see the lights weren’t coming from the ground, pointing upward. There was no light trail and we live in an area that doesn’t have dealership lights, sales lights, etc.  During this time, both pets were feverishly running to the windows and one staring at the lights. After that last group faded, they finally laid back down. All pictures I took ended up completely white. All video was black.

  • My friend and I saw this too. It was the night of the meteor shower. We wanted to watch it, so we drove out of the city of Minneapolis to get away from the city lights. We drove south, then onto a small road in the middle of some cornfields. We were in the Lakeville area. We watched the sky for about an hour, and I saw that oval shape with lights. I kept trying to rationalize what I was seeing. I thought it was Mystic Lake, but we were not close to Mystic Lake, nor was it in the right direction. It didn’t move, and it didn’t look like lights coming from the ground. Later, as we were driving back to the city, I saw it again in the sky, and it was not close to Mystic Lake at all. It was further south and west of Mystic Lake. It looked like it was south of Buck Hill Ski Hill. Mystic Lake was further east. I couldn’t explain it and forgot about it, until someone else shared a picture and this article.

    • My husband and I saw this too. We saw it tonight when we were driving on I – 35. We were in the Lakeville area. No idea what it was, and I didn’t see anything coming from the ground.

  • we saw a very similar phenomenon on 02/23/17 at around 8pm in Eden Prairie MN.
    there were 12 soft lights positioned in a ring. the ring seemed low to the sky. on that night there was patchy cloud cover and minimal wind. there was no moon. moon set was approximaetly 5 hours before we saw the lights. sunset was about 2 hours before we saw the lights. it is not clear how long the ring of lights had been in the sky before we saw them. they were in the sky for about 20 minutes more before the moved further south very slowly and en mass. there was no sound associated with either the lights or the movement of the lights.
