I was stationed in Minot ND back in 1965 I worked Minute Man Missile Security. I don't remember the exact month but I do remember it was winter. For those who don't know the terrain in that area its flat and very few trees very few. Anyhow there were several Missile sites about and all with Motion sensors for protection. The system was not the most dependable but somewhat got the job done. I was part of the group that would investigate the site area when a problem occurred. We would be sent out if Launch control couldn't get a reset on the system. After we had checked the area and nothing found. Another attempt would be made to reset the system by Launch Control if that failed a Camper Truck would be sent out to secure the site until it could be repaired. The night before my encounter I don't remember the time I think around 9:00 PM one of the Campers on one of the sites reported Lights in the sky flying around making 90 degree turns and all kind of crazy moves. Something that nothing mankind has can do.
Well the next night we were told to go see about a site that control couldn't get a reset on. I was the driver of a 4 door Dodge 4x4 and yea we had them back then. When we arrived at the site we noticed a light about the size of a street light across and down the road a bit. No street lights down any of these farm roads out in the middle of nowhere. So after checking the site we were told Launch Control had got a reset. We decided to check on this light. Well as I approached it it began to move and the faster I got the faster it got. That old Dodge wouldn't do but about 85 and down that old dirt road I guess that was fast enough anyhow. Well we went about 2 miles and the road made a right turn. The light kept going straight and went out of site. I've never seen anything before this one or after. Just my story and something ill never forget.
