Triangle over Wellborn, FL

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I saw a light in the sky brighter than venus approaching my position from the south. The sky was clear, light breeze temp 74 degrees. The craft was moving very slowly to the north and passed directly overhead. I estimate its size as large and at about 20K feet. As it passed overhead I could make out the triangular shape. there were small lights at each point and a large bright light in the center. There was no sound and no contrail and no strobe light. Passing overhead it changed course to the east. Again no sound. I lost sight of it over Lake City. I checked flightaware for air traffic and nothing was within miles of my position. I had a strong flashlight with me (1500 luniins) And attempted to signal it there was no response. DAMN second time in three years.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #155656). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Ask for the records

What would the paper say?

For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

Wellborn, FL

I was sitting on my deck looking at the sky. The weather is clear. 2045 I saw a bright light (like a search-light at a distance) It was in the western sky approximately 2 o clock, traveling north to south. After about 15 seconds it simply faded and vanished. Again, no clouds. No noise and no aircraft strobe. It was a point of bright light about 3 times the size of Venus and many times brighter. Venus had already set behind the trees so it wasn't Venus, and Mars was in the 10 o-clock position. I initially thought it might be the ISS but the shape was not correct. I've seen the ISS many times and it is bright and fades from view, but it is angular in appearance, almost like a Greek cross. Five minutes later I saw a roughly chevron shaped craft with bright lights emanating from the front leading edges. This appeared to my north at about the 11 o clock position moving west to east. It also slowly faded and vanished. No clouds, no noise, no strobe. I immediately went inside and checked the plane tracker website on the chance it was a plane and I merely misidentified it somehow. No aircraft were shown in the vicinity. I'm retired and I spend a great deal of time plane watching day and night. I am also ex-military (police) and I've worked for the dept. of defense. I know a military aircraft when I see one. And these were not. I often have fighter planes from the neighboring AFB train in the airspace above where I live. (During the day) The sound is deafening. I know it sounds corny but the way these objects/craft moved, fading and vanishing reminded me of the old Star Trek and ships cloaking themselves. I know how that sounds but I'm trying to be accurate and convey exactly what I saw. I have only seen/interacted with an unidentified flying object once before and that was in 1989 in Alabama. So its not like I see these things "regularly". I know what I saw. (No it wasn't satellites either. I've seen satellites pass over my place on clear nights and they are tiny TINY points of light---these were larger and much more substantial. So satellites, planes, planets and the ISS are OUT as explanations. Forgive me for not taking your call earlier this evening. I was in my workshop. If you have any further questions please call me.
