Summary/Description:

IT was 1987 two identical ships came from the north over state HWY. 25 Going south toward the power plant they were about as high as the smoke stacks on the power plant. I could see 10 to 12 port holes of white light on the bottom that help see the size of the ship big wing it had round front that angled back at about 100 feet on both sides then on each end a round corner went straight for about 30 feet than round corner and angle in on both ends the middle was round THE SECOND ship was about 50 yards directory behind the first ship. as they flew toward the plant they looked metallic maybe 10 to 20 feet high not sure the height was the same all the way across there was no port holes or any kind of lights visible on the side. when they got even with the plant west of it the first ship the left side of the ship went up at a 45 degree angle and the second ship went up also and they turned away from the plant at a south west direction. there is the Monticello Nuclear plant across the Mississippi river also.

1992 I was working 2nd shift in Plymouth. Look up THE Elk river MN. UFO SIGHTINGS Terry Townsend came in to work and was talking to Norm the guy I car pool with later on I talked with TERRY about his sighting he said he was close to the ship one thing Terry left out of his report that I seen was it was raining hard that morning and Terry told me that the rain was not hitting the ship. ON the way home Norm was driving I ask him what he thought of Terry UFO story he said he full of shit then I said i Believe him cause I am sure I seen a UFO.

Then he told me he Believed him too started telling some years early his wife worked day shift and when he got home the lights were on he still had to unlock the door his wife was up and told him aliens came into the house the door was locked and took her to there ship in a open field close to the house and did some test on her they did not poke her with anything they used devices on her over her body and she was aware what was going on and brought her back to the house of course norm thought she was crazy. she told him if you do not believe me you do not love me . so in the daylight they both went back to the field norm said there were spots spread out in the area where these pads had sunk into the ground about 2 inch deep. they both agreed not to say anything to anyone not even the relatives he said he added another lock on the door. I never did ask him what the aliens looked like.

The reason he told me about it was when he got home the lights were on again his wife was up and said the UFO were over by the Elk River area so he comes to work and there is Terry telling him about seeing a UFO. Norm lives south of Clear water. after thinking about it the two ships I seen one of them could be same ones I seen that took norms wife. My parents had a farm right on little twin lakes north east of elk river. Terry said he seen the UFO by Allian Techsystems use to be Honeywell not sure if the same company today. I was born in 1953. the neighbor work there when I 6 to 10 years old some Saturday mornings here explosion I was told it was testing the triggers for nuclear bombs. the neighbor kids and a couple kids went out on the land and ran around they were testing the listening devices to see the could tell if it was a humane or deer. my uncle had a farm next to Honeywell which they bought they were allowed to live there and farm until he passed away and my moms sister moved to town. About that time when I was 16 I WAS deer hunting a small woods on my uncle land next to Honeywell and had a helicopter circle around me until I left.

Historical Context: UFO Sightings and Energy Infrastructure

The Becker, Minnesota encounter is part of a long-documented pattern of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) being observed in close proximity to major energy infrastructure. Power plant sightings, such as those occurring near the Sherburne County (Sherco) Generating Station or the nearby Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, are often categorized by researchers as high-interest events due to the apparent attraction of these craft to large-scale power sources.

Regional Patterns in Minnesota

Minnesota has a rich history of such encounters, particularly in the Elk River and Becker corridor. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the region saw a spike in Nocturnal Light (NL) reports that frequently involved metallic, wing-shaped craft similar to the ones described in this 1987-based testimony. The witness’s mention of the Elk River UFO sightings involving Terry Townsend provides a crucial link to a broader wave of regional activity that suggests these craft were transiting specifically between key industrial landmarks.

Technical Implications of “Port Holes”

The description of 10 to 12 port holes of white light on a 100-foot wing is a recurring detail in mid-western UFO reports. Unlike conventional aircraft, which utilize navigational strobes, these “port holes” are often described as being part of the craft’s internal structure or propulsion system. The witness’s observation that the rain was not hitting the ship in the related Elk River case suggests the presence of a localized field or “plasma sheath” often theorized in unidentified flying object physics.

Summary of Findings: The Becker Industrial Encounter

The sighting near the Becker, Minnesota coal power plant on September 15, 2022, stands as a significant case due to its proximity to critical energy infrastructure and its correlation with other regional anomalies.

• Intelligent Maneuvering: The craft demonstrated coordinated movement, with both ships banking at a 45-degree angle simultaneously to turn away from the power plant.

• Structural Detail: Unlike typical “lights in the sky,” the witness provided specific dimensions, describing a 100-foot wing with 10 to 12 illuminated port holes along the bottom.

• Regional Correlation: The testimony links this event to the well-known Elk River UFO sightings and provides secondary corroboration through a coworker’s account of an encounter in the same corridor.

• Physical Anomalies: High-strangeness elements were noted, specifically the observation that heavy rain did not hit the craft, suggesting a localized force field or specialized propulsion environment.

• Strategic Proximity: The proximity to both the Sherco Generating Station and the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant aligns with a global pattern of UAP interest in electrical and nuclear energy sites.
