The report, as filed
Just before 11pm, im sat by the lake where i live looking up at the clouds when i noticed a perfect triangle shape thats just pure black, it looks attached to a much larger normal shaped-normal coloured cloud, but this triangle was huge, had no lights on or, nor any sound came off it, but after 3/4 minutes i looked back up and it was gone. And im only a few miles from Stansted Airport
