CROOKSTON, Minn. (trfnews.i234.me) – A strange object in the sky has sparked curiosity in eastern Minnesota on Monday morning.
Justyn Ostby, who was about 15 miles north of Crookston, reported seeing and recording the unidentified flying object while heading east on County Road 21.
“I happened to notice this big, bright star in the sky and out of nowhere comes this short tail,” Ostby said. “Most times with a comet, you’ll see it light up the sky. There was no light behind this—just a massive black object moving across the sky.”
According to Ostby, the object traveled in a southerly direction, moving quickly from just below a star to the horizon in roughly 40 seconds. He noted it had no lights or flashing markers, unlike an airplane.
Photos and videos captured by Ostby show the dark mass crossing the sky without illumination. He hopes other witnesses may come forward to confirm what was seen.
The sighting comes as UFO reports continue to generate attention nationwide. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not yet stated the event.
