Full Description & Details

At 10:20 to 10:25 pm, myself and two friends had just parked my car in a large field beside lake Elmagnet which borders Burnsville and Apple Valley Minnesota. We had just sat down on the hood of the car as I noticed bright multi-colored lights blinking at an unusually fast rate. The lights were also colored every visible color of the light spectrum which at once seemed strange to me and sparked my curiosity. I continued to watch the object and after about 10 to 15 seconds, the object moved across a considerable distance so fast that I did not see it actually move but saw only a red trail such as one would see by moving a lite cigarette in the dark as fast as possible. This caused me to comment, (what the He_ _ ?) My two friends asked what was the matter, and did I see a flying saucer or something? I didn't know if I was seeing things right or if my mind had just played a trick on me or what so, I asked them to just do me a favor and watch those fast blinking lights in the sky. They obliged and watched the lights which repeated the manuvers I had first witnessed alone. They immediately became very excited and believed without a shadow of a doubt that this was in fact a UFO of some kind. I still didn't want to say what it was until I could see it up close and suggested that it might possibly be some sort of military test vehicle. I hopped into my car and moved it so that it was sitting on the incline of a small hill or mound in the field so that the cars headlights were aimed as directly towards the object as possible. I then began to flash the headlights on and off and from bright to dim and in an iratic fashion very quickley to try to draw the attention of anyone in the craft. At the time of the sighting the area was mostly farm land and undeveloped. The only other light was from a full moon or nearly full so my cars headlights were likely easy to spot from whomever might be flying the craft. The plan worked and while I was still flashing my lights, we noticed that the blinking lights on the craft had disappeared and were replaced by a single bright white light which grew bigger and brighter by the passing seconds. Then we realized why the light was getting bigger and brighter it was headed straight towards us. The moon was directly in back of the craft during its last mile or so before reaching our position and hovering directly over our heads. As we watched the craft, we could see that it was shiny and silver metalic in appearence and that there seems to be different diameter layers making up the craft. I remember thinking that it looked just like the saucer on the TV series (The Invaders). One of my friends went into a panic and became so frightened that he wet himself. The other friend was exstatic at what he was witnessing and began yelling to them to come on down. I was embaraced to be with either of them and thought that if they were wondering if they would find intelligent life on this planet that they would certainly have been disapointed at seeing such creatures. The one who had wet himself was trying frantically to hide himself behind the seat in my car and screaming like a woman that we were all going to die. I looked down for a moment at my friend in the car and tried to calm him down and when I looked up again, the craft was gone. I asked the other friend where the craft went and he pointed in a direction further into Burnsville. We continued to watch for what seemed like several minutes and finally we saw the craft rise up above the trees in the distance over the heart of Burnsville where it hovered for about 10 seconds or so. As we watched, the saucer/craft pointed what appeared to be a bright red lazer beam at an approximate 45 degree angle out into space, moved the lazer slightly and then shot out into space at such a rate of speed that we could not actually see the craft move but, saw only a red blur or trail in the direction that it traveled which was in the exact direction that the lazer beam had been pointing. After all these events had taken place I looked at my watch and it said 11:56 pm. The two friends that were with me reportedly witnessed a huge comet or meteor or something within minutes of seeing the saucer leave the atmosphere. I did not see the comet/meteor because I was busy starting up my car and looking down at the time. Something I feel is worth mentioning is, that within days or weeks following the sighting of the saucer, I came up with an idea of how to build a free energy device of which I wound up presenting to the MN state energy commissioner in person in the summer of 1979. The very next day two armed military police were waiting for me as I reported for work that morning and told me to drop the whole thing and that if I ever spoke a word of any of it to anyone that they would make sure no-one ever found even my bones. I was never able to contact that particular energy commissioner again as it appeared that he had been replaced by a woman I had never seen or heard of. I know how this sounds but I have many witnesses to everything I have stated in this description and this is only a small part of the story so that others might have something to relate to. I do not believe I am the first to experience any of these situations and niether will I be the last.

Sincerely,

J. D. Fauble
