Mystery over Minneapolis, UFO sighting with six glowing rings (Minneapolis, Minnesota)

📍 Location

📝 Description

Latest synthesis: On the night of February 2025, three Minneapolis police officers reportedly observed a spherical UAP with six glowing, color-changing rings. They watched from a parking garage and one officer briefly pursued it in a patrol car. The object reportedly hovered around 10,000 feet, exhibited periods of slow and rapid (up to hypersonic) motion, produced lift without audible sound, and reportedly interacted with a civilian helicopter before ascending and moving north. The sighting was said to occur near the Prairie Island Nuclear Power Plant in Minnesota. Reports were filed with the Americans for Safe Aerospace, a nonprofit led by Ryan Graves, and later picked up by various outlets in October 2025; some outlets speculated the phenomenon could be atmospheric scintillation of the ISS or other conventional explanations. There has been no official government confirmation or widely corroborated video at this time.
