COMMENTS:	The 4 of them were camped in a very remote area at Voyageurs National Park, near the Canadian border, since last Friday morning. On Monday night (early Tuesday 12:50 am). He and his friend were half asleep in their tent, but the other 2 were still star-watching. One of them asked the other "what star is that?" It was no star, because it had a red ring around it, plus it started moving around. Three of them watched it for close to an hour, as it stayed in the same general area of the SW sky, moving up and down, sideways, doing loops and figure-8s. It disappeared and came back several times. The sky was completely clear that night, they could see all the stars, so he knows this object was not just going behind clouds. When he found his binoculars, he looked at the object and could see a very bright white center light, 2 brighter reddish lights on each side, and a small red light at the top, and another small red light at the bottom. All 3 of them looked thru binoculars. By the time the 4th guy woke up enough to watch, These witnesses are all law enforcement officers. The area they were camped in was very rugged: rivers and bays and cliffs. Keith could see the outline of a craft, but not the actual craft. The lights, however, moved in tandem, as if attached to a solid object.
