UFO\/UAP Sighting in Southeast Minnesota<\/strong><\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong>
\n– Time:<\/strong> 7:04 PM (local) on March 2, 2025
\n– Location:<\/strong> Approximately 20 miles west of Rochester, Minnesota
\n– Key Features:<\/strong> Rapidly flashing lights in a cross pattern, undetermined shape, estimated altitude of 500 feet, typical speed for small fixed-wing aircraft<\/p>\n

Details of the Sighting:<\/strong>
\nWhile driving home on Highway 14 with my wife after spending time in Rochester, I noticed an unusual object just after 7:00 PM. The Rochester area has a small airport nearby, and Minneapolis, a major hub, is about 80 miles to the north, so air traffic is normal. However, this craft exhibited an odd strobing light pattern that didn’t seem to comply with FAA regulations. It was flying at a relatively low altitude\u2014about 500 feet, in my estimation\u2014and at a speed consistent with small planes.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t discern its shape clearly, but my wife suggested it appeared circular, while I only caught glimpses without any definitive silhouette. Curious, I rolled down my window to listen for any sound, but couldn’t hear anything over the road noise. The object seemed to fly directly overhead, and I even got a view through my sunroof. <\/p>\n

Having followed the UFO topic for several years, I find it challenging to remain objective, which is why I\u2019m sharing this account despite the poor quality of my video (taken on an iPhone 14, for those interested). Interestingly, prior to spotting the object\u2014within a mere 10 seconds\u2014I had a fleeting thought about how none of the promises surrounding UFOs have come to fruition and wondered if it was all just hype. Though I often contemplate UFOs, and it feels like a coincidence, I thought some of you might find it intriguing that I experienced that thought just before the sighting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
