On February 21, 2011 at 10:10 PM I went out on my deck to have a cigarette. It was 10 degrees F with a cold 10 mph breeze. The sky was clear and stars were everywhere. As I looked in a east northeast direction at about a 25 degree angle a bright object with unusual lights got my attention. I distinctly saw a three dimensional object with colors on each point. (Icosahedron, I had to look it up.) Each edge on the shape almost appeared to be lighted, as the ambient light reflected off of the surfaces. On every one of the vertices there was a colored light, one of four colors in no particular order. Blue, orange, red and yellow. The object did not appear to be moving nor did the lights blink. I got my Nikon D-50 with a 500mm lens and set it on a tripod. The view finder confirmed what I saw. Unfortunately the camera wouldn't capture the image in auto mode. In manual mode, I got some images using about a one second exposure. They are not the best, but one image does validate what I saw. As far as the other image? Camera movement? I don't have a clue. My best guess for the size of the object is 50 feet in diameter about with a distance of more then 25 miles away at an altitude of 2000 feet.' | Clear Lake, Minnesota, United States | Date: February 21 2011 - 10:10 PM | UFO Shape: Ellipsoid | Photographer: Lee C.
