I was walking to my girlfriends house and happened to look up and saw two "ufo" and they seemed to follow me , then they separated two went one way and one went to the right , I couldn't see anything except circular lights very bright, definitely no airplane or helicopters or small air craft very round. Thank you

Austintown, OH

Triangular craft seen while driving on I76E, object first spotted at my 10-ll o'clock position. It appeared as a airplane headed directly toward me in the night sky with a landing gear light. I travel this route every m-f night. I know that no radio attenas are in that area and that they are usually red. This made me assume it was just an airplane, as this light was white. When I finally got closer to this craft, I could tell it was just hovering perfectly still. Not going up,down,left, or right. Not even affected by any wind. As I finally had sight of it now in my drivers window I could tell that it was dark grey or black in color. Each side was approximately 100' in length. It was about 2000' in altitude. Not quite a mile from the interstate. It was positioned with the point I first saw facing west while the other points faced north and south. The west points light was flashing constantly while the north and south points were on solid. The craft was over the east side of the Meander Reservoir area. It was in my view until I couldn't look back any longer. I wanted to take a picture of it on my phone, but was in disbelief of what I was looking at. I had a feeling to just keep moving so thats what I did. For quite awhile I debated on turning around and getting that picture. I've never seen anything like this In my life. I'm a 33 year old truck driver with a clean record with backround check required endorsements. Was just an hour into my work shift.
