A then 19-year-old was riding his bicycle from Minot to his home sometime in thesummer of 1978 on a warm still night. Noticing what appeared to be a yardlightin a farm field, he stopped to observe and was captivated by the oddity for manyminutes. Then the light began to rise from the ground and a ring ofapproximately ten yellow lights came on. The object seemed to have a dome abovethe ring of lights. Two brilliant white "headlights" came on simultaneously. Alllights shone steadily and without rotating as the object moved slowly (20 mph orless) at an altitude of about 1000 feet away from the subject, back toward himwith a banking maneuver to within a quarter mile, then away again, suddenly atgreat speed. When closest to the object, the witness hair stood on end, thoughquite possibly from exhilaration (no fear per se recalled). The object was lostfrom view as it sped NW in the direction of Minot AFB. Sighting duration: 45minutes.
