Appearance / Description of Object(s)

A bright light in the northern sky. When clouds were behind it you could clearly see the light was on the front of a large triangular object. 2 smaller lights came up from the ground to meet with the main one.

Size of Object(s)

When the object was at its closest, it was roughly just smaller than the size of the moon. As for actual size, I'm not sure since Im not sure actually how close it was. I would guess it would have to be at least 80 feet across, and could be much larger if it was farther away.

Description of Area / Surroundings

This is more of a rural area, halfway between St. Cloud and Cold Spring. I don't know of any special features nearby. Rockville does have a water tower, but that is south of the house and I was looking to the north.

Full Description & Details

I went outside to smoke at about 4am; just 45 minutes ago. I looked up at the stars and saw something strange. It appeared as a bright orangish light moving slightly back and forth in the north sky just above the treeline. At first I thought to myself, "What is that?" As I continued to watch, I thought I might have been just imagining it moving, and maybe it was a star or planet or something. To be sure it was actually moving, and not my imagination, I used the other stars as reference points. The light was definately moving, slightly back and forth, and up and down. Another smaller white light seemed to come up from the ground to meet it, then disappeared. Then the main object began its movement again, and seemed to be also slowly moving closer to me as well. A thin cload floated over. If it was a star it should have been coved by the cloud like the other stars were as it passed. But it wasn't! It was in front of the cloud, and that is when I noticed the light seemed to be at the front of a clearly large triangular object that was either quite large, or much closer than I expected. I had forgotten all about my cigarette, which had burned itself out. The time was now about 4:10am. It continued to hover over the trees as I continued to watch. The light still moved back and forth in a wobbly pattern. It was very hard to see the outline of the object now that the cloud was no longer behind it, but I believe the triangular object was rotating slowly creating the wobble of the light. Then there was a flash of light in the woods approx. 1/2 mile away and another light rose to meet the main one. Thats when the object began to move away slowly and become smaller and smaller in the sky. It was still visible as a very small dim light when I came back inside. I wanted to watch it longer but I was very cold and shivering since I had went out in only my robe with a coat over it. I tried to call my fiance but she didnt answer so I googled "minnesota UFO sightings" and that led me here.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

This was definately not a conventional object. It was not an airplane, too close to be a satellite. Blimps arent Triangular, and neither are weather balloons. I dont know what it was. It could have been man made. Im sure the government has stuff they test and dont want us to know about, but then again what would the be doing around here? It just doesnt make sense.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I did a little reasearch into it and the subject of UFOs, Aliens, Crop Circles, and Gov't Conspiracy has always sparked my interst.
