Triangle over Cochrane (Canada), AB · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was with my friend in his back yard standing up facing east south. My friend was facing me as we were talking. As I was looking at the sky I had seen 2 upside down triangles attached that were miles and miles up in the sky but not just height wise but it was a good distance because it shot straight down towards earth like a shooting star glowing bluish greenish. The first triangles point was facing down as well as the second triangles point attached to the base of the first one both facing upside down in the clear night sky. Not trail or anything was left behind only thing was me in a crazy realization of something else out their. My friend had not seen it due to the direction he was facing.

Driving with my son westbound on rr 262 I noticed a grey pie shaped object in the sky out of my driver side window. I alerted my son to look at it and he spotted it right away. As I was driving, I had my attention divided between the road ahead and the object in the sky to my left. I took 4-5 2-3 second glances at the object, which seemed to be standing stationary in the sky. The object began to rotate, appeared to turn black, then disappeared. After it turned black I looked away to check the road and when I looked back it was gone. No trail, nothing. Very clear sky with high visibility and ceiling. I have binoculars in my truck which I quickly passed to my son in the back earlier on in the sighting, and he struggled to find it through the binoculars, but he watched for the first 10 seconds or so. The object was triangular in shape. It looked proportionately like a thick piece of cake.. The tail end was also “v” shaped or possibly described as a shallow chev! ron shape when observed from directly below . There were no windows, lights, lines or markings on the objects surface and the edges were all rounded. Within 1 min of us seeing the object we witnessed a military plane flying in the direction of our sighting.

We went for a dog Walsh around 8pm. We noticed the a very strong light floating over the Rockies, then a set of various lights near it appeared to be flying on a straight line eastwards just above the Banff park area coming towards Cochrane. They didn’t seem to stop and we’re perfectly spaced equidistantly from each other. The as if at a marked spot, they’d disappear one by one everything their flight path raches that spot. We saw the same lights about 2 weeks ago and we counted 6. This time, the event lasted for about 6-8 mins and we lost count after 18 or more.

Hello By far not the first sighting we've had living here but this one was...epic, thought I'd share. First observed two lights traveling slowly one following the other (same as satellites) in a slow-straight line overhead. Knowing satellites never travel together in pairs I went inside my home to call my wife. At first she noticed the two satellite looking lights, then she panicked and said "There's more"!! We watched over twenty objects one after another slowly crossing the sky, appearing from the distance (+10 km) out of maybe fog or cloud (very dark out), traveling in a line above us heading from the West, eventually disappearing into fog/clouds and off into the distant glow of lights in Calgary in the East. The sky was very clear other than some fog in the far distance. My wife was counting the number of objects until ran back into the house for more clothing(-8c). I gave up counting as didn't find it important and started looking around for camera and neighbors, anyone to point out and share an epic moment with, but nobody was outside.(Too dark for photograph) Terrifying thrilling better than any Netflix. Hope others who may have seen this take a minute to back us up here.wow lol

My friend and I were driving my my house near a tri-school area when we saw a blinking white, green and red light object in the sky. It looked far away as though it was an airplane but I thought the flashing colours were strange. We drove closer and it was very close to us and low to the ground and we saw a flat triangular shape with three lights, one at each end. It was very close and we freaked out and drove up a hill as it started following really close and fast. We lost track of it and it disappeared. We drove out of the area we were in and saw it further away again we tried to follow it but it would disappear in front of our eyes. We started seeing a bunch of them (around 5-10) all around but they kept disappearing and reappearing in weird areas. At the same time we kept seeing balls of light around us that would disappear as well out of nowhere. This lasted about 45 mins before we left

Observed SW of Cochrane, distant triangle with 3 glowing lights left a "V" of cloud and disappeared (along with its clouds) after only a couple minutes. This repeats daily at/around sunset. Observed by my boyfriend and I- both 24, both skeptical people. He does insurance and I'm a massage therapist. Sound of mind people but we see this happen daily
