Anoka Police Department employees are said to have seen an unidentified object in the sky last winter. They said when it flew away, it “skipped across the sky.”
ANOKA, Minn. — A new batch of files on UFOs has been released by the Pentagon, and among those files is a sighting by employees of the Anoka Police Department.
The report calls them UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) instead of UFOs. President Donald Trump directed federal agencies to release these records back in February.

Among the newly disclosed records is a report from three Anoka Police Department employees, who say they saw something strange on the western horizon on Feb. 19, 2025.
At about 1:17 a.m. the employees watched from the top of a parking garage at an object in the sky, described as being the size of a school bus.
“The UAP exhibited unusual, rapidly changing ‘tie-dye’ multicolor lighting which was inconsistent with known aircraft lights,” the report states.
The employees also said it moved rapidly and after about 90 minutes, they watched it skip “across the sky like a stone,” potentially towards Monticello.
One of the Anoka PD employees used binoculars to get a better view. They used the binoculars to take a video of the object, but the video came out blurry.
The report on this case includes another sighting a month earlier in St. Paul, where a man reported seeing a diamond-shaped object that bounced around the sky like a pool hall ball.
Within the report, officials said what was seen in Anoka may have simply been a drone.
The Associated Press Reports that Congress created an office in 2022 to investigate UAP and declassify as much material as possible. Its 2024 report found there has been no evidence that the U.S. government has ever confirmed a sighting of alien technology.
