Full Description of Event/Sighting: My family and I were driving south on Hwy 47 near Hampton Minnesota and saw a very fast moving blue strobe-like light moving north that was east of us about 500 yards parallel to us.

 

We were in a rural area and there is no road 500 yards east of 47. There are only roads that go perpendicular due to the farmland and trees. The light seemed to be moving about 80 miles and hour (although it was hard to tell since it was going in the opposite direction) and very low to the ground.

 

There were no other lights on it, so when the strobe went off intermittently, we could not tell where it was until the strobe flashed again and it was much further away each time. My son thought it looked like a large blue lightening bug moving fast in a very straight line.

 

My husband the adamant skeptic was nearly speechless and I wanted to go back and search for it. I was out voted and we soon lost sight of the light. The whole incident was about 3-5 minutes long. We were 10 minutes away from our home, which is also located in this area that is all flat farmland which follows the Cannon River. This thing covered about 5 miles in 3 minutes.
