This is something that doesn't happen often out on the ice! A Minnesotan was out ice fishing earlier is month when they spotted something supernatural.

Over the past few years, talk of aliens and UFOs and such has become way more common. It's no longer taboo or weird to talk about.

In fact, there are a bunch of people in Minnesota and Wisconsin that have seen something spooky in the sky and reported it to the National UFO Reporting Center.

That's exactly where I came across this sighting, which happened in Forada, about three and a half hours from Duluth.

They were on the ice when they spotted an oval shape in the sky with amber lights. At one point, it was about half a mile away. After a minute, a second and bright object appeared.

The person who reported this said they thought the moon was really bright until they looked up into the sky and spotted the objects. They tried to wake others up and take a picture, but the objects were gone too quickly.

The weather was calm that day, according to this account. Here's another thing that stuck out from the report:

With all the people icefishing in the area someone else has had to seen this. I witnessed this go on for 15 to 20 minutes and never saw them again that night.

Wow! This person seems pretty confident in what they saw. Did anyone else notice something in the sky around the same time? Let me know!
