Rotating changing structure with detaching sphere

The volume of it was visible with naked eye until it got far enough in the distance, then it just appeared as a dot. I saw it from North Loop Minneapolis, but I would guess it was over St Anthony, then Columbia Heights, then fading out around Coon Rapids. The flashing of light caught my eye as I was eating dinner on the patio, Rotating and reflecting sunlight. A Spherical structure detaches and reattaches several times. Moving slowly. As I was recording, I noticed there was another seemingly identical object doing the same movement.

I am a 35 year old female. No drugs or alcohol involved. I was enjoying a meal alone on my patio.

By NUFORC / National UFO Reporting Center

The National UFO Reporting Center was founded in 1974 by noted UFO investigator Robert J. Gribble. The Center’s primary function over the past four decades has been to receive, record, and to the greatest degree possible, corroborate and document reports from individuals who have been witness to unusual, possibly UFO-related events.  Throughout its history, the Center has processed over 150,000 reports, and has distributed its information to thousands of individuals.

The principal means used by the Center to receive sighting reports is this website, which has operated continuously since 1994.   Prior to that period, the telephone hotline and the U.S. mail were the primary means of taking reports.   

The Center’s independence from all other UFO related organizations, combined with its long standing policy of guaranteed anonymity to callers, has served to make it perhaps the most popular and widely accepted national UFO reporting facility anywhere.   The website and hotline are well known by law enforcement agencies, FAA ARTCC’s and flight service stations, National Weather Services offices, military facilities, NASA, and many 911 emergency dispatch centers all across the United States and in many parts of Canada. Those entities routinely direct the calls they receive regarding possible UFO sightings to the Center.

One of the Center’s policies, which distinguishes its operations from most other UFO organizations, is that it makes available to the public all of its data in summary form. Detailed information is made available to experienced UFO investigators.   

The National UFO Reporting Center is a non-profit Washington State corporation, and it is applying for federal 501 C (3) non-profit status.
