Kite hoax at 1:13 AM

(September 17, 2010) The Tucson Citizen reported today that an unidentified flying object seen flying over St. Paul, Minnesota was nothing more than a kite that's decorated with an array of light-emitting diodes (LED). The kite was flown by 34-year old man Ernest Sawka whom police cited for "disorderly conduct, public nuisance and being in a playground after hours".

Sawka previously had a warrant for charges not related to flying kites. But St. Paul police spokesman Andy Skoogman said that Sawka admitted to flying LED kites at night to "get a rise out of the public"...a charge Sawka denied.

Below is a video of what an LED kite would look like in the night sky:
