CASE 106540
entrance ramp from Maple Grove Parkway. I noticed six to eight low-flying helicopters in semicircular formation heading from the east towards me. Three seconds later I noticed a pulsating light from below the tree line approximately 300-500 ft to the east. The object then rose up almost above the tree line and seemed to tumble in place for one or two seconds before rising just above the tree line. Once the object was above the tree line, the lights were more like a blinding white staggering strobe lights with multiple locations. The object slowly headed north for two seconds, then seemed to jump eastwards towards Brooklyn Park almost out of sight, then jumped back and steadily moved from its original eastward position in Maple Grove heading eastward again along Hwy 610 towards Brooklyn Park/Coon Rapids until out of sight. The object’s profile came into view for less than three seconds after last heading and seemed to have a thin, dumbbell shape with a transparent-gold color???? While the sighting was unfolding, the helicopters seemed disoriented and broke visible formation. It has been about two hours since sighting, and I still can see burn-in when I close my eyes. During and 10 seconds immediately after sighting I felt nauseous and had sunspot/ flash-like vision in both eyes. I feel relatively ok now.” Minnesota MUFON Field Investigator William Odden closed this case as Unknown Other.

Minnesota witness sees several helicopters following an object just above the trees A Minnesota witness in Maple Grove reported seeing 6–8 low-flying helicopters that were following a pulsating light, according to testimony in Case 106540. The witness was in his car driving at 6:20 p.m. on March 2, 2020. “I was heading northeast turning onto the 610 eastbound 6 | JUNE 2020
In the report, Odden states, “It looked like a thin dumbbell shape with a transparent gold color filament between the ends; it was about 20 feet long and the “bells” comprising the ends were about a foot or two in diameter. During this time, it was pulsating very bright light and the helicopters started to go in two different directions—three in each group—as if they were disoriented. The pulsing light continued and the witness felt nauseous and he had sunspot/flash-like vision aftereffects in both eyes. This went away after two hours. There was no noise heard during the sighting from any of the objects. The UFO’s two ends would light up for a few seconds as it moved away. It would also go back very fast and then slowly east, then it jerked back until it was gone.” Maple Grove is a city in Hennepin County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 61,567 at the 2010 census but has been growing rapidly since then, as 2018 US census estimates rank Maple Grove as Minnesota’s eighth largest city with 71,807 residents.
