Triangle over Over Toledo bend lake, TX

The report, as filed

Me and my mother were on the porch facing the lake from the Louisiana side. Semi cloudy day late afternoon. I noticed a bright light bust through a cloud seemingly just over the lake. I couldn’t make out the object perfectly although it seemed to be in a triangular shape. My mother says there were 3 lights close together. When the object went through the cloud it created a plume that made me think for a moment I was seeing a space shuttle take off from Texas and I caught it mid way. The light was in a clear part of the sky and it seemed to just fade out of sight. And then the cloud plum dissipated quickly after letting me know it wasn’t chemtrail. Strangest encounter I believe I ever had. Usually during sunsets crafts in the sky look like shadows because the sun is on the far side. I can’t explain it nor can my mother. She was on the phone at the time of the incident and I didn’t want to snatch the phone from her hand and I didn’t want to take my eyes off of what I was seeing. This encounter lasted what seemed like a minute or 2. I wish I would have grabbed the camera because in my opinion this encounter would have made the news. FYI we’re not far from Fort Polk.
