Hello, and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode, we're talking about the North Dakota UFO
Roundup. That's correct, North Dakota UFO
Roundup. We'll take a look at some
sightings here from ufosightingsusa.com.
And then I want to look at a short story from 1934 just to
show the different kinds of UFO sightings that are showing up
there in North Dakota. And now I have to warn you,
North Dakota ranks dead last and number of reported sightings
based on just straight sightings.
But we find out here from UFO sightings USAA that adjusted for
population they ranked #35 on the list of states.
So a little below average. But the thing I found out about
the statistics, the fact that they ranked dead last overall.
And that's explainable easily because it there's such a small
state. Oh boy.
Let me tell you, mainstream media has taken that little
factoid right there and just run with it to make it seem like
North Dakota is the land of debunkers and non believers.
As if nobody has ever seen a UFO in North Dakota.
And I can tell you that is not the case.
Now we learned from UFO Sightings USA TODAY that there
have been 270 officially reported UFO sightings in North
Dakota from 1970 to 2023. Fargo ranks number one with 34,
then Valley City 26. Minot 25.
Bismarck 25. Grand Forks 19.
We find out that the most commonly reported UFO shape or
appearance is alike 41%. August is the big month of 14%.
Friday almost over 15. 1/2% of all totals. 11716 is a single
date with the most UFO sightings reported 3 and 2020 is the year
with the most UFO sightings reported. 25 sightings occur
more often during the night 8:00 to midnight just like every
place also seems like. And we go ahead and we take a
look at some of these reports. I had to do it just a tiny bit
of editing on some of them just to make a little bit more
readable, but we'll start with this first one from Jamestown,
ND dated August 12th 2023 10:50 PM.
UFO shaped star lasted one hour. Now this first account says the
star like light was moving erratically, first North and
South, then back and forth but at different speeds overall
heading toward the West. I'm a male in my 50s, my son is
a male in his 30s and two grandsons aged 15 and 11 were in
the backyard gazing at the sky for the persecuted meteor shower
which wasn't very active. My 15 year old grandson was the
first to notice the star moving erratically.
After a minute or so, we all observed what he had seen.
I was reclining in my 0 gravity chair, facing east, but looking
straight up. The star was directly above us,
perhaps just a little east of zenith.
It was certainly not a satellite.
I've seen many of those before and understand their movements.
What we witnessed resembled a *, but it was moving not at a
steady speed toward the West. It seemed to pause frequently,
although not for long and as all, and also shifted from side
to side, North and South, while maintaining its westward
trajectory. Sometimes it moves slowly and
other times a little faster. After about 45 minutes of
observation, it had to tilt my head backward to an
uncomfortable extent. All the other stars in the sky
remained in their general positions, but the one we were
watching had shifted considerably.
I also used a tree in my backyard as a landmark.
After an hour the star, quote UN quote had moved about 10° toward
the east. We didn't continue observing
until it disappeared. As it was getting late, it could
have been self illuminated or possibly reflecting the
sunlight. However, there was no change in
the brightness intensity. Wow, sounds like a very high up
orb. Strange indeed.
This is from Fargo in North Dakota.
It says was explaining another UFO story of a light like a
plane but no flashing lights and how it disappeared before I
could record it. I described my possible UFO
experience to a friend and as I was explaining it, it happened
again. But this time I kept watching it
until it just instantly disappeared, exactly like I had
predicted it because of what happened with the last possible
UFO. But this time I watched
completely and I had a witness watching too man. 5/21/23 12:00
AM It says UFO shaped light lasted 30 seconds to a minute.
Yeah, sometimes these things almost just seem to come to
people when they're talking about them.
There's definitely some kind of observer reaction going on here.
This is from Watford City ND 2/13/23 9:40 PM.
UFO shaped circle says I watched for 5 minutes 2 orange beams of
light that look like holograms. 1 disappears and reappears.
There are two circular green lights moving in all directions.
I was outside and saw these two orange beams of light.
They look like holograms and one disappeared and reappeared.
There are two green circles moving in all directions.
I took photographs and videos. I watched for 5 minutes and then
went inside. They could still be out there,
man. I can imagine seeing this thing
up there in North Dakota at the middle of nowhere had to be a
little bit spooky. This is from Minot, ND.
It says it looked like a big star, but it was moving.
Me and my neighbor were noticing a large, bright star, but it
started moving. And when it started moving, we
took pictures of it. It was bouncing all over, up and
down and sideways. My neighbor saw another one
later and she said her skin started burning like fire.
She started praying and the heat left her.
Wow, that is weird. That's from February 12th 2023
9:00 PM Says UFO shaped circle. Yeah, so many things seem to
have a very emotional, almost spiritual connection.
People talk about this all the time.
This one is from Sherwood, ND. It says 9/4/22 12:17 AM.
UFO shaped light lasted 10 minutes.
Found taking pictures of Aurora Borealis.
Was out capturing pictures of Northern Lights with my iPhone
11 to share with family. I walked one city block to get a
picture without so many trees I did not notice a cluster of
lights right away. I was more focused on the
Northern Lights. When I got back to the house and
clicking the phones to share on social media.
That's when I really noticed and zoomed in.
These pictures are not stars, planets or airplanes.
Now I looked at these pictures and these clearly look like orbs
to me. They're kind of there's, I don't
know, maybe a half a dozen of them in a in a straight line
perpendicular to the ground. I I posted a link at the Twitter
site and you can also find them over there at UFO sightings
where we get these here all from incredible looking things.
I don't know they're UFOs as far as I'm concerned.
Really really weird stuff going on there in shore, North Dakota.
Now here's one from West Fargo ND.
This was dated August 19th 2022, 10:11 PM.
It says a light that initially looked like a fluorescent light
glided from the West toward the east.
As light approached the 12:00 position, we both realized that
it was not anything we had ever seen before.
It was like a train of bright lights gliding E very long and
producing the noise. It was not an airplanes, jet,
helicopter, fireworks, etcetera. This was a spaceship.
Approximately 20 seconds after the sighting was all three
bright objects UFOs off to the north, following the spaceship
in unison. We did not have our phones
outside with us and thus have no pictures.
That's pretty cool. This is from Bismarck, ND dated
February 24th, 2022. It says appears on a clip from a
blanket camera. When I reviewed the clips the
following morning, I saw what it first appeared to be smoke
moving in the upper corner at 11 O 1:00 PM on Thursday.
Then it seemed like there was an object moving into position and
stopping. The clip ends with no further
movement. Later.
There's another clip at six O 9:00 AM Central time on Friday.
When I let my dog out, the disk is still present in that clip.
I've tried to figure out what it might have been, but to no
avail. I've never seen this on the
camera before or since. While it appeared to be just
north of the residence, I assume it was far in the distance as
others could have still been out and about and I don't know if
anyone else saw it. I did send the clips to family
members trying to get any explanation they may have.
I was thinking, I was thinking something military maybe.
Well, maybe military but just not of this world.
That's what I'm thinking. This is from Arctic North
Dakota. It says bright light going into
wooded area. I live on a farmstead and back
of my home is a wooded area. As I was in bed looking out the
window, there was a large bright light that lasted 3 seconds.
Right after you could see a light descending into the woods.
You could see this light hitting the branches as it went down.
I was not able to follow it due to some buildings and I was a
little afraid to go outside. I was by myself, don't blame me
there. I stated October 18th, 2021.
It seems like we're getting some fairly older reports here from
North Dakota. Well, I just encourage you folks
in North Dakota if you see these things, go ahead and report them
because it helps us all out. And there are some obviously
some very good sightings up there now.
This is from West Fargo, ND dated March 5th 2020 1:10 PM UFO
shaped. Other less than 5 minutes, I
witnessed a flying object flying relatively low and slow with
four perfectly squared lights marking the corners.
The bottom center had a slight orange glow.
I could not make out much of the body, but notice the front two
lights were slightly elevated in comparison to the rear.
No planes were trackable overhead on any of the apps I
have. That's the cool thing about
having the apps on your cell phone I suppose is you can track
these airplanes and if you're seeing a light up there and no
airplanes listed, it's one of two things.
Either. Well, it's unidentified for
sure. And it's either some kind of
military thing, Possibly, I don't know, maybe a balloon with
lights on it. Unregistered drone, but
definitely unidentified now. This is from Stanley, ND, dated
January 15th, 2021, 12:00 or 4:00 PM.
UFO shaped rectangle lasted 10 minutes.
A large object resembling a flat iron set motionless off the sky.
We were hauling a load of heating oil eastbound from
Stanley on Route 2 when my partner called my attention to
an unusual object on the north side of the highway.
The object resembled a dark colored flat iron, approximately
75 feet wide and close to 100 feet long from top to bottom.
I'd say it was 30 feet, and it appeared to be sitting on
hundreds of points or legs, keeping it between 15 and 20
feet off the ground. The weather at the time about
12:00 or 4:00 PM was 19°F with the wind blowing from the north
at 16 mile per hour, dusting to 23 and the skies were overcast.
I radioed the Police Department back in Stanley back at City
Hall and informed them about what we had seen.
They mentioned that another caller had notified them about
the object and that a deputy was on route to the location.
That is really a great sighting. Thanks to whoever put that up
there. This is something that should be
on The History Channel or something.
Just imagine you're driving along your fuel truck and you
see this 100 foot long, 75 foot wide UFO, 30 foot tall, shaped
like a flat iron. It says just suspended there
above the ground. That's me.
This is from Anna Moose, North Dakota.
And this one says large spinning colorful UFOs.
Starting at 6:00 PM we watched five of these doughnut like
spinners above our heads and smaller bright ones coming out
of them would fly in a line and then vanish.
At 11:15, PMI went back outside and there was one huge one, even
visible to the naked eye, full of collar and spinning.
These have been out here every night for the past month.
The ones from earlier, which we, which were emitted from the
larger ones, had moved across the sky, stopped, hovered
together, and then there was a flash of red and white and they
took off. Man, that's crazy.
It's almost like there's a swarm of them just kind of showing up
and just I guess letting people see what they've what they can
do. It almost seems like this one
here is from Valley City ND 8/11/20 11:45 PM.
UFO shaped light lasted 4030 to 45 seconds.
Lake Ashtabula high altitude or low orbit light moving at
extreme speeds and the zigzag pattern.
Lake Ashtabula is located 10 miles north of Valley City, ND,
where I had been stargazing and watching a meteor shower with my
girlfriend and my grandparents on this evening around 11:30 PM,
everyone started heading into the cabin to go to bed, but I
decided to stay by the fire for a while longer.
As I was about to get up, I saw what it first looked like, a
satellite. However, it moved at extreme
speeds in a zigzag pattern. It appeared to be at high
altitude or in low earth orbit. People know me as a space nerd,
so when I saw this and told my girlfriend, she believed me when
I said it was not a satellite or spacecraft.
It may have been blinking but I cannot remember for sure.
I'm also an aircraft pilot, so I know it was not an aircraft.
I like it when we get these from folks that are actually pilots
because, you know, they're trained to identify this stuff.
I mean, obviously it's a matter of life and death for them.
So I look at these guys being reliable witnesses in general.
Thanks to that person for reporting that sighting.
Now I'm going to close up here with a sighting from 1934, and
this comes to us from it, says syracusenewtimes.com written by
Cheryl Costa. The title says a 1934 sighting
in North Dakota. And then apparently this this
blog's out in New York, but they're talking about the site
in North Dakota. This is cool.
North Dakota is the lowest ranking state for UFO reports.
The state ranks 50 out of 51 of the only place lower for UFO
sighting reports is Washington. DCI didn't.
I didn't think that would be the case.
That's that's wild. This UFO sighting account was
shared with the National UFO Reporting Center in 2008 from
brothers Albert and Rodger. At the date of submission to the
database, Albert was 88 and Rodger was 83.
That's cool. Better late than never, huh?
The article goes on and says at the time of their UFO sightings
in 1934, Albert was 14 and Rodger was nine.
Their family lived on a ranch about 6 miles outside of Valley
City, ND, which is the county seat for Barnes County.
In the 1930s, Valley City had a population of about 5000.
These days it's about 6500. Roger said he and his brother
were out in open country about 1/4 mile from their ranch house.
At around 3:00 or 4:00 PM we were at an old gravel pit
checking for batchel holes, he said.
Roger later became a private pilot and stated that the sky
had high, overcast, no wind, and was quiet.
We heard a rushing sound, which got our attention, Roger said.
Looking up, we saw the objects moving from southeast to
northwest. They were out of sight in
seconds. He said that to him they seem to
be perfectly round and black. He likened them to a bowling
ball in size and low to the ground, perhaps 50 feet, low
enough that the two boys were able to hear a rushing sound as
they passed by. They flew side by side,
equidistance apart, not quite overhead, but off to the West of
us. Roger said his brother swears
the black objects disappeared into a cloud.
I disagree. I say they disappeared in the
distance, he explained. There aren't any clouds 50 feet
off the ground. Like most people who have
disclosed encounters with UFOs, the two men remember the event
that happened 83 years ago like it was yesterday.
North Dakota logged a 213 UFO sighting reports between 2001
and 2015. Orange County, North Dakota
logged two of those sightings which are credited to Valley
City. That's why let's just imagine
these two, these two guys out there, you know, back in 1934,
of course it would have been a lot younger then seeing what we
might call orbs just flying past making this whooshing sound
might just be a little bit of that muzzle orb flying that
close to the ground. You have to wonder if these
things aren't solid. And you know, in order to make
that, make a make a sound like that, the sound effect.
And also you have to wonder just what.
What in the world are they doing here?
Now? They tell us that on November
7th, 2016, here's some more reports.
At 6:30, PMA resident of Fargo was relaxing in a backyard hot
tub and observed a large triangular object.
Yeah, how's that for your hot tub time out?
November 22nd, 2016 2:30 AMA motorist in Bismarck observed A
circular object with green lights.
It disappeared within moments. May 31st, 2017 at 1:15 AMA,
resident of Wolfaton witnessed a huge orange collar ball fly
across the sky from north to South.
Amazing. July 5th, 2017 at 11:24 PM, a
resident of Fargo went outside on a muggy night while watching
a thunderstorm off the distance. He observed a bright white
circle of light that changed red before speeding away.
There you go. We have another one of these
things right near the thunderstorms.
I still think these things are somehow feeding off the weather.
July 12th, 2017 at 11:30 PM, resident of Cavalier reported 2
triangle objects hovering in the sky overhead.
He said one of the triangle objects took off suddenly at a
great speed. That's really neat.
So one of them just apparently stay there I guess and the other
one just starts off at, you know, at a high rate of speed in
one of these triangle UFOs. Now North Dakota may not have
the highest number of UFO reports, but they've got a lot
of good reports in there. And I think this is just goes to
show that these things are being seen all over the world.
It doesn't have to be in a particular state or particular
place. If you look up long enough,
you're going to see something. Until next time, this is UFO
Warning Over now.
