Foreston, MN: Orange sphere causes 2-hour missing time incident
A witness in Foreston, Minnesota observed a large amber sphere spiraling through the air in May 1973. The object appeared to land and change colors before shooting upward. The experiencer discovered over two hours had passed without memory, indicating potential missing time.
Background
In May 1973, an unnamed individual was seated inside his vehicle in Foreston, Minnesota, while observing relatives driving across a nearby elevation. The incident occurred after 10:00 PM CDT when the observer turned toward his left side and noticed a large amber sphere moving in a corkscrew pattern through the atmosphere.
According to documentation submitted decades later in 2007, the subsequent moment the individual recalled was looking forward to see his sibling's vehicle lights approaching from the ridge. When he glanced back toward his left, the amber illumination had shifted hues while apparently resting upon the terrain. Upon turning white, the craft ascended vertically into the sky.
The experiencer encountered significant temporal displacement during the incident. Although the episode seemed to last merely sixty seconds, over two hours had actually elapsed since his sibling had initially departed the area. The reporter stated he possessed no memory of what transpired during this interval, characterizing this as a potential close encounter with unaccounted time loss.
The case was submitted to The Black Vault in 2007, with the investigator noting the confusing chronology. The experiencer mentioned the craft touching down but provided no specific details about the site or physical evidence. The investigator intended to contact the reporter for clarification regarding the sequence of events.
