Details of Incident:
Bright red non-flashing point-source of light, with 6 rapid flashing lights.
Peter, I am a sailor and an electrical engineer with 35 years experience. I am also an ex-MUFON 
investigator in Minn. (resigned when I moved out of state). I was watching the night sky which was 
crystal clear, moon was a sliver, and low on the horizon. Stars were very clear and bright. I noticed 
that there was a extremely bright red non-flashing point-source of light that had 6 fast flashing 
(~6 flashes/sec.) red strobe-like lights on it's front and two slower flashing red lights on it's back 
end coming over the southern horizon and moving directly north at a modest rate of speed ( it took 
perhaps 2 minutes to traverse horizon to horizon). The flashing red lights were strobe like point-
sources (not diffused at all)..similar to the light from a red LED with a clear cap. It was at 
approximately 10,000 ft. AS it cleared into the northern horizon, a second object, similar to the 
first but different, appeared on the southern horizon in the same place as the first one did. This one 
had two red non-flashing point sources of light, directly opposed from each other ( like a barbell 
with lights on it's ends), and 3 flashing red lights on it's front. It followed the same path as the 
first light, and as it passed by, the front lights disappeared behind the body of the craft..it was 
easy to see the shape when this happened. It looked to be a wing shape. AS this light cleared the 
northern horizon, another red non-flashing light similar to the first appeared at the southern horizon 
and followed the other two in the same path and altitude. THis one was the same as the first object in 
it's light configuration and speed of flashing. AS the third object cleared into the northern horizon, 
another red non-flashing point-source of light came into view on the NE horizon, traveling SW. This 
one had a red non-flashing center and 3 or 4 rapidly flashing red lights all over it's body. It seemed 
round in shape. I watched these with a 50 power binocular. THere was no mistaking these lights from 
commercial or private aircraft. There was no similarity at all. The feeling I had was of a series of 
vessels surveying the area. Keep up the good work!! ((name and address deleted))
