Triangle over McLean, VA

The report, as filed

For the last couple of weeks my girlfriend and I have been followed by several different crafts, including a large triangle craft which I have seen up close with geometric patterns with red and white lights on the wings. It all started when I noticed these star like objects at night over my house that would move sporadically, almost as if they would glide, increasing their movement as night progressed. Whenever i tried recording it through my phone all that would show up is a flickering light that flashed red and white, moving all over the screen. I observed these lights almost every night for the past month until we started being followed. The night before the following started, in the early hours of the morning I had the urge to look out of my bedroom window only to see that the star/object in sky moving left to right and in circles with tremendous speed. For the next three nights I noticed some sort of orange orb at night, which seemed to hover a little bit above tree level. Its moved in a stop and go motion as if it was chugging along. It would appear over my house as soon as I got home work. On the third night, I was at a traffic light getting off a ramp from 495 south heading to my brother's house in Falls Church (which is several miles away from my parents house), this orb appeared from the clouds in the distance and kept getting closer to my direction, at that point I was clearly able to recognize that it was the same thing I had seen the last two previous nights. This time at a higher altitude. When the light turned green and I started to drive I saw the orb picked up its speed and seemed to be keeping up with me until it disappeared into the clouds only to reappear again when I got out of the car. Later that night at my brothers I was smoking a cigarette outside with my friend and staring at sky , as I was explaining to him what I saw earlier that evening, we saw a bright orange light in the distance that caught our attention. We watched as it was moving slightly in our direction, at this point we could not clearly make out the object. About a minute later we! lost sight as it went behind a couple of trees only to appear a couple seconds later heading in our direction, now we were able to clearly see that it was some sort of triangular craft of substantial size that seemed to fly extremely low and slow right over my brother's neighborhood. It was moving so slow and close that my friend and I were able to make out geometrical patterns that were lit up in the middle of the craft. At which point i pulled out my phone and ran after it to record it as it was passing by. As I ran the craft appeared to pick up speed, and quickly descended even lower until we lost sight of it behind some townhouses. I was able to capture it on my phone as it was speeding away. When I checked the footage I saw that it had picked up a lot of static when I focused the camera on the craft. All you could hear is a distinct low pitch humming, barely audible if you were indoors which I found incredibley odd considering the sheer size of the craft. Two other different crafts that were more difficult to see, proceeded to fly in the exact same flight path and descended very quickly as if they were going to hit the ground. All of them with distinct red and white flashing lights. When I drove to go pick up my girlfriend I saw that these crafts were following me at a distance. At this point I became very concerned and pointed them out to my girl as we drove back to my place. Even she wa! s able to tell that the movement of these objects were different then that of a plane. These crafts seemed to be able to hover and ascend straight up without moving forward. Since then I have noticed these crafts as well as other odd flickering lights that move wherever I go, flying/hovering around the general location, and seems to increase everyday. My girlfriend and I decided not to tell anybody for fear that they would think we are crazy or on drugs. Tonight my girl and I saw more of these things in the sky then we ever have. Bright flickering lights that somewhat resembles a star from a distance that will disappear and reappear in different locations. On top of that a number of odd things have been happening to my girlfriend and I including: seeing things at the corner of our eyes like a light or something that passed by very quickly, sensations that someone is in our bedroom with us, getting headaches/pressure at random times, odd noises and thumps and electronics malfunction more often than usual. Forgive me for writing this much but we have felt unsettled for the last couple of weeks and do not know what to do. I have not been able to sleep well for fear of what can happen to us and I can hear these crafts flying over my house all times of the night. I also tried calling the hotline on the first night it occurred but was told "they generally don't believe people that say they they are being followed" and was told to write a report, which was quite upsetting considering the nature of this website.
