With all the hoopla about the mystery balloons that were shot down over Canada, Alaska and just of the coast of South Carolina, there has been some speculation of UFO's and alien visits.

I think we all know someone that has claimed to have seen an unexplained object in the sky. Maybe you've seen one yourself. According to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), Minnesota has had it fair share of UFO sightings recently.

In January, Minnesota ranked 21st in the U.S. for sightings with 7 and that was just in January of this year. Other states reporting the same amount of sightings were Illinois, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Maryland and Oklahoma. California was way up on top of the list for January of this year with 62 sightings.

Recently, in an article from Robert Marsh on Newsbreak, a witness, last March, from Norwood Young America, Minnesota reported seeing a strange triangle-shaped object out of his kitchen window. “It was low in the sky; probably only a couple hundred feet up,” the reporting witness stated. “It appeared to be triangle-shaped but the points were blunt or rounded and it was bright orange like molten lava orange, and almost seemed to change shape a little or something."

The witness then moved to the back deck of his house for a better view. “Very odd maneuvering and not something one of our planes could do. All of a sudden the thing turned from orange to yellowish and white light. And a second or two later, it was gone.”

The witness said the triangle-shaped object didn't just jet off, it just instantly vanished. “Then, 30 seconds later, another object identical to the first craft flies nearly the same path and does the same disappearing act.”

I think we all wonder if there are really extraterrestrials visiting us. My question is, if so, does the government know and just won't tell us or is it all just chalked up to some other explanation? Military experimental aircraft?  Perhaps someday we'll know the answer.

LOOK: Things from the year you were born that don't exist anymore

The iconic (and at times silly) toys, technologies, and electronics have been usurped since their grand entrance, either by advances in technology or breakthroughs in common sense. See how many things on this list trigger childhood memories—and which ones were here and gone so fast you missed them entirely.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
