Ramsey 1998
On Sunday, August 23, 1998, a family was entertaining two friends at their home
in Ramsey, Minnesota (population 12,408) when something unusual happened.
"Our three children were outside playing 'flashlight tag' when they became very
excited and requested that I come out and see the 'strange red lights' passing
over our house," the mother, who declined to be identified, reported.
"I proceeded to grab my camcorder and rushed outside into a very clear and
dark night. My 10-year-old son, Ariel, pointed out the light, which was
approximately one mile away and moving slowly in a northwesterly direction
toward Elk River. My first impression was how large the lights were at the
estimated distance. Their size can be compared to a standard commercial-radio
tower beacon when viewed from a distance of a half-mile."
"There appeared to be two flashing red lights, which were spread apart from
each other at an estimated distance of 100 yards and at an altitude of 500 feet
with a white light directly above. Their speed was unusually slow--100 miles per
hour--and about it the horizontal lights blinking erratically approximately ever two
to three seconds while the light above blinked each five to seven seconds."
"According to our 9-year-old daughter, Tanya, before we came out of the house,
the two red lights did a complete 180-degree rotation around their horizontal axis."
The woman captured 10 seconds of video before the UFO passed out of view.
Ramsey is on Highways 10 and 169 approximately 30 miles (48 kilometers)
northwest of Minneapolis. (Many thanks to Tim Hagemeister of NACOMM for this
