Triangle over Fallon, NV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I observed a small, triangular-shaped craft in the sky above the City of Fallon, NV, on late Sunday evening of Memorial Day Weekend 2016. Upon exiting my vehicle in front of my apartment, I looked up at the sky to admire the stars as it was a fairly clear night. Fallon has a fair amount of light pollution making it difficult to see a lot of stars. I looked at a patch of clouds in the eastern sky and observed a pale glow reflecting off of the clouds and some type of aircraft coming through the patch, heading toward the west. It was flying in a straight path at a relatively fast pace, but not unlike a jet airplane flying at a low altitude. It appeared to be small and triangular, blackish in color, with a pale light on each point. But its size is relative to its altitude so I am not completely sure how small or large it was. It may have been flying at 5-10,000 feet relative to the eastern patch of clouds. I noticed how it covered the stars as it passed ! above, which made it easy to track its flight path in the sky. I only observed the craft for approximately two minutes or less and it was out of my line of sight quickly. I was standing 20 feet from my one-story apartment door which impaired my sight to the west. I doubt I would have observed much even if I went to my backyard as there are trees and other houses on the other side of the street that would have also impaired my sight. I entered my apartment shortly after that and did not observe anything else.

When my family and me lived in Fallon Nevada one of my siblings went to sleep on the couch with our father at night she woke up to see a bright large orb come from behind the fake fireplace the orb formed into three conjoined entitys all three varied in height one was tall the other mid tall and another that was short the entitys were shadowed silhouettes that was in the dark kitchen all three entitys had red glowing eyes and watched her fall back to sleep the supernatural didnt stop there they followed us elsewhere to many different homes when my sister was at our grandmothers house she went to play in her shed our grandmother was a doll maker so the shed was filled with dolls while my sister was playing in the shed she saw one of the dolls arm move in the corner of her eye then my family and me moved to the state of Washington that is when the supernatural began to occur to me one night our parents left my siblings and me home alone since we were left alone we had to lock all of the doors this one night all of my siblings and me stayed in the first story room together then suddenly both the front and back door that had been locked slammed open in sync then we heard someone enter through the back door it sounded as if they were wearing flipflop shoes and held keys they ran quickly through the kitchen, living room and then they ran very quickly upstairs my sister looked out the back and front door and there was nobody then we went to check upstairs we checked the closet, bedrooms and bathroom it was as if the intruder dissapeared and on a different day my two siblings and me was left home alone we stayed in the first story room suddenly we heard someone walk upstairs they sounded heavy and as if they had large boots on I even heard the floors squeak as they walked through the two bedrooms and bathroom the entity would even walk down the stairs to make it half way in the livingroom before walking back upstairs and repeating the process we became scared and called our parents I cant remember if they answered the phone and on a different night my mom my two siblings and me watched the T.V. together in her bedroom suddenly we were interrupted by the sound of the radio that had turned on by itself in the room beside us we all got up to investigate the radio the radio had no power source such as batteries, plugged into the wall or a disk it seamed impossible yet the radio played music that would statick in and out and I cant remember what the music was I just remember it was loud inaudible and it would statick and on a different night our father was gone so my sister slept with our mom in her bed when my sister woke up in the night a tall shadowed silhouette of man stood at the foot of the bed he was about a couple inches shorter than the ceiling with shoulders about the width of the doorway with red glowing eyes and he was nearly transparent my sister became scared and tried to wake up our mother once she failed to wake her up she hid under the blanket and fell a sleep and on a different night I felt afraid of the dark so I slept with my parents on that night I woke up to the sound of someone moving the cents and other belongings inside the dresser drawer that was beside the bed that was behind me once the sound stopped and continued again I turned my head around to see who it was I expected to see someone standing by the dresser I instead had made eye contact with an entity that did not blink or move that was silhouetteless in the dark closet and was eye level to me that had humanoid shaped eyes that completely glowed a bright blood red soon after our eye contact I quickly turned around as I turned around my body became stiff because of my fear of the entity I managed to turn completely around regardless of my newly formed stiff body once I was turned around I looked over the shoulder of my father who slept beside me I wanted to jump over him so that I was barricaded from being the closest to the closet while I looked over him I felt like I was running out of time to take the huge decision that felt like a risk to jump over him I then instead laid my head to rest on the pillow I pressed half my face as hard as I could into the pillow I felt grateful for my hair that fell infront of my face that partially hid me while I closed my eyes as hard as I could as if I dared myself not to look at my surroundings again as I laid there I held in my cries while my heart was beating fast because I was scared and I felt exposed and watched aswell as if someone hovered over me I was also a little curious to see if the entity had moved or left me alone after I laid there for awhile I eventually fell a sleep I never again woke up to the entity after that night I would even have dreams about the same eyes I saw that night in my dreams the eyes watched me from the vents and on a different night while my father was trying to sleep he heard someone rush quickly into the room then he felt someone grab him by his leg just above his ankle then he was dragged half way down his bed with such strength that one side of the bed was pulled away from the wall once my father immediately got up to fight who ever it was a large dark mass taller than he was materialized infront of him within a matter of seconds the mass shrunk to my fathers height my dad then got his arms and hands ready into a punching position he was barely able to make out the mass do the same action as him then the mass dissapeared into thin air after the mass left my dad was in stress and called for my mother that was in the bathroom once she walked in the bedroom she believed him because the bed was pulled from the wall then my father went back to sleep my father would also fall a sleep and wake up to the red glowing eyes that watched him from in the closets and he also felt like the closets were sometimes unnormaly dark and he felt watched from the closets and on a different night I tried to sleep when suddenly I felt water sprinkle accross my body I saw water droplets on my arm and I felt the moisture I looked at the ceiling from my bunk bed to see if the ceiling was leaking and it was not I felt like it was strange then I went to sleep one morning when mom, sister and me were about to leave for school I stood above the stairs waiting for my mom when suddenly I noticed the inner ball from a bouncing ball that made the ball light up roll toward the bottom of the stairs I watched it flicker its many colors of light as it rolled around it would stop and roll around again then it rolled away from the bottom of the stairs and when I was at my grandmothers house I sat on the floor with my sister then between us a small bright glowing gold orb came from the floor the orb would jump in and out of the floor before it disappeared back into the floor I was shocked and asked my sister if she saw the orb and she said yes and belongings would also disappear or be moved we also heard the cabinets and drawers slam open and close from downstairs and things would be pushed off the counters by itself we then moved to Nevada on my first year here I was outside at school talking to my friend suddenly a large dark shadow dashed across the sky so fast it was like I blinked I looked over to where I thought the shadow had gone I asked my friend if she saw what I saw she didn't answer me until years later I brought up the topic and she said yes my sister also saw the shadow on the same year my grandmother and my parents and me was outside my father asked me to grab his keys that was inside on the counter once I went outside to give him his keys they all were talking about a dark disk shaped object that flew over them and they were barely able to see it among the night sky after that i looked up at the sky hoping that I could see it too eventually we went inside and for about a few nights someone kept pulling my blanket off of me but I was always tired to open my eyes to see who it was and someone sat on my hip while I was a laying on the

There were about 10 UFOs that were in a line. They were only about 3 visible at a time. One by one they started to disappear when they traveled to a certain point in the sky. They all seemed to be going the same speed and traveling the same distance between each other and at the same elevation.

A pinpoint of light just below canis minor was slowly engulfed by a small white blurry puff. I pointed it out to my husband. We watched the object move in an accelerating straight line towards Regulus, just under Jupiter. As it moved steadily across the sky, the puff of whitish mist around it steadily grew in circumference. A tiny pinpoint of light could always be seen at the center of the growing "puff." The object moved steadily across the sky toward Regulus (I whipped out my star tracker app to track it), it suddenly slowed and came to a stop just under Jupiter. The puff continued to increase in circumference and dissipate. The object then began to move slowly again towards Regulus. As it approached Regulus it again slowed, stopped. The tiny pinpoint of light could still be seen, the white puff around the object had now grown in size to such a circumference it could barely be seen. The light then disappeard as the puff of white completely dissipated. ((ADDENDUM FROM MR. TED MOLCZAN, OF SEESAT-L)) Hello Peter, The fuel dump from the Centaur stage of last night's Atlas V launch, was widely visible to the unaided eye from N. America. It began on Mar 13 at about 04:15 UTC, and was visible for about an hour. Ed Cannon, a long-time member of SeeSat-L, described his sighting as follows: http://satobs.org/seesat/Mar-2015/0143.html The Centaur was on a high-elevation pass, that moved west to east across the southern sky. It climbed in altitude from about 2,500 km to more than 20,000 km, on its way to its apogee of about 70,000 km. Best regards, Ted Molczan ((END ADDENDUM)) We suspect the sighting is due to a fuel dump from an expended "Centaur" stage of an Atlas V missile launch. We express our gratitude to Mr. Ted Molczan for the "heads up" on this incident. We copy below his e-mail of March 13, 2015, about the incident. PD

Driving North on Lovelock Highway near Coleman Rd, I noticed 4 lights in a parallel line which seemed to be coming toward me from the North-Northeast. They appeared to be near the Fallon Airport and I initially supposed them to be one of the large Navy jets heading toward the base. As they continued to approach, I could see that there was no body to the aircraft, but four separate lights which then changed from a parallel line to a triangle, with the 2nd light from the left forming the apex. After about 5 seconds, the lights simultaneously blinked out. I was unable to see any other sign of them. When I made it home a few minutes later, only the brightest starts and Venus were visible in the sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
