It was August of 2014. My mother, my father, and my niece and 2 nephews were at a Island Lake near Duluth, MN. They had taken the boat out to what we call “Boy Scout Island.” They were just hanging around in this little bay hidden from the mainland shore, when my oldest nephew spotted a reflective orb in the sky. My mother took several pictures but nobody noticed it disappearing. The photos showed mostly glare, but it was clearly a large round solid flying object. I was in film school at the time and had access to several filters I could use to investigate, so I made a pet project out of it. The few curve lines I was able to pull forward revealed a craft unlike anything I’d ever come across, and as a UFO enthusiast, I’ve seen a lot. I sketched it out and realized I might be seeing something new, so I decided to take my shot at giving it a name. My drawing was sitting on a newspaper covered with clothing ads, and I noticed a similarity in shape with the topside of the craft to a common pair of women’s underwear, so I called it “The Sexy Boombox.” A year later, while surfing the internet, I stumbled upon a video with a familiar thumbnail. The portion of video the thumbnail was taken from no longer exists, it had been edited out, but the thumbnail image remained. It was the ship from my mothers photograph, with a level of detail I never thought I’d be lucky enough to see. I got photographic confirmation that the details I pulled from my mothers photos belong to a real object. Since then, the link to the video that they accidentally left the original thumbnail on has gone dead as of 2018, but it remained up for several years before that.
