No of observers: 1

Location: Two Harbors, MN, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Bright circular light seen in the night sky.

I walked out the back door of my house onto the sidewalk that leads to the garage behind my house. It is not a long walk, probably about 20-30 meters from door to door.

I was looking south toward the moon when all of a sudden I seen this very bright circular light in the sky. I regrettably had left my phone in the house so I couldn't snap any pictures or take a video of it.

The light didn't move to far before it started to dim out and then just kind of disappeared. I stood there for a couple minutes after I had seen it just to make sure it didn't come back, but did not see anything. It was only visible for about 20 seconds before fading out.

I've never seen anything like this before in my life and it was silent. I heard nothing that resembled the sound of a jet/plane or any kind of helicopter so I know that it wasn't any kind of plane flashers or a spotlight of any kind.
