Oldest UFO Sighting In Minnesota Still Has No Explanation

People have been seeing strange phenomenon in the sky since the dawn of humanity. You can even see them depicted in the Bible and across history and civilizations. So, they've been around a long time, but we're just recently having the government acknowledge, publicly, that the phenomenon is real.

I stumbled on a story of a very old UFO sighting that is from even before the Roswell incident in 1947. Those crashed UFOs in the desert is the beginning of the UFO interest in the modern era, so sightings reported before that could be considered even more authentic. Oh and by the way, Luis Elizondo (former member of Pentagon UAP Task force) says that Roswell incident did in fact happen.

South Long Lake 1932 UFO Sighting

The National UFO Reporting Center keeps track of ufo sightings online. Obviously the internet wasn't around in the early 20th century, so many of the reports were filed years later. One in particular caught my eye, as a woman shares the story of what her mother saw near Brainerd, Minnesota.

The story goes that the woman's parents were at their cabin on South Long Lake near Brainerd, Minnesota in the fall of 1932. The weather was nice and they were outside enjoying the weather. Suddenly, they saw a sing light flash across the sky. It paused and hovered over the lake for 5 minutes before taking off. It was completely silent.

Timeline rules out many other things.

In 1932 there wasn't much air traffic. Not to mention they didn't have any planes that could hover or accelerate that fast. Helicopters weren't around until later that decade (the first practical one was invented in 1939.)

It couldn't have been a drone, a satellite, or anything else commonly mistaken as a ufo, because none of them existed.

Something Else?

It couldn't be a meteorite or fireball, because those don't stop moving. Shooting stars don't stop and hover, and this light was reported to hover directly above the lake. Whatever it was, it was something supernatural to be moving like that in the sky in 1932. There simply is no other explanation.
