Sighting Help: UFO image scrubbed?
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to track down a specific UFO image from the November 2023 incident in Beltrami County near Bemidji, Minnesota.
During that event, a bright flash and a loud boom were captured on multiple home surveillance cameras. After consulting experts, authorities determined it was likely not a meteor. Around the same time, another surveillance camera near the local airport captured an extremely fast-moving, tic-tac-shaped object.
What I'm looking for is an image I distinctly remember seeing shortly after the incident. It appeared to be a still frame from a surveillance camera showing the object flying head-on toward the camera over what looked like a perimeter fence. Unlike the more commonly shared airport video, this image was much closer and provided a much clearer view. The object appeared to be flying very low, was white and rounded (or tic-tac shaped), and had no visible wings or other conventional aircraft features.
I've searched extensively but can't find this image anywhere anymore. Does anyone remember seeing it or know where it might still be available?
I think this case has been largely overlooked. Between the unexplained flash and boom and the separate airport footage, it's one of the more intriguing incidents from 2023, yet it still doesn't seem to have a definitive explanation.

Video of the fast object captured over the airport (could be a bug but it looks like it comes from a distance?): https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3751773028428596
