A Ranier, MN, witness reports watching and photographing a silent, slow-moving object that hovered for two to three minutes, then “turned in a circle motion” as it moved away, according to July 20, 2011, testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
“We all just were in shock and a bit freaked out, but amazed that it was so close,” the reporting witness stated. “I happened to have my phone and was quick to snap just one picture. It seemed like it was almost right over the top of us. And it moved some but not much. It turned in a circle motion as it went up into never never land.”
The witness submitted Image # 1 with the MUFON report, which was filed on July 20, 2011. The event occured on July 2, 2011. The above quote was edited for clarity.
Ranier is a city in Koochiching County, MN, population 188.
A Minnesota witness photographed this silent object hovering nearby.
Minnesota is a current UFO ALERT 5 rating, with a low number of UFO sightings nationally. Minnesota had 8 reports in June 2011 – while California had 42 UFO reports – the highest reporting state in the nation. Missouri is on our Watch List.
