CHISHOLM, MINNESOTA
25 SEPTEMBER 1965
At O755, observer noted five orange colored objects in the western sky.
These objects appeared for about thirty seconds and were moving toward the north,.
at an elevation of about 3o°. All of a sudden three of the objects made an abrupt
turn toward the southwest and the other two seemed to just disappear. During the
entire time of the sighting the objects seemed to keep the same altitude. Observer entire time of the sighting the objects seemed to keep the same altitude. Observer
also stated that the objects were moving much faster than a jet, which she had also stated that the objects were moving much faster than a jet, which she had
watched beiore watched before. Particular attention was given, by the witness, to notice if there
were red or green lights which she had seen on distant planes flying at night, but
stated there were none.
COMMENTS
The observation has characteristics of being either aircraft or a balloon;
however, certain factors conflict with such a conclusion. A weather balloon from
Duluth would have been in the area at the time of the observation, however, the
duration conflicts with this conclusion.  Since the witness insists that the
objects traveled much faster than an aircraft and made extremely abrupt terms,aircraft
are ruled out as an alternative. Also, there were no reported aircraft in the area..
As such, the case must remain in the unidentified category.

A call was made on January 14, 1966, to Miss of
Chisholm, Minnesota. Reference to sighting of 25 September 65.
Report remains in unsatisfactory condition owing to absence of
quuntitative data. Almost entirely possible that it was that of an
aircraft. As long as the witness insists that the lights traveled
faster than that of an aircraft and made a extremely abrupt turn, :
The case must remain in the unidentified category..
