Radar sighting, to significant to not report, this should be looked into and verified.

I am an avid weather watcher, and I have been watching this object on radar for a half hour, it does not appear to move, it's extremely large based on what I am looking at.

It's due south of Minot, ND. Clouds around it are moving but it is stationary. There is a possibility of a radar glitch, however; There is also a possibility of it not being a glitch. This is very unusuall, I have been a hobby radar watcher for many years.

This hits numbers on my list of weird. I would report this as a significant odd radar sighting.

Found in this location using this radar, have screen captures.
