A triangular light configuration some moving at will, typically stationary. I observed the same light configuration the previous evening approximately the same time. Light color appears to be white although observed o moving with red lights. These lights are not position/navigational lights.

My daughter and I were driving north on route 288 when we saw in the distance 3 sets of Red and Blue lights hovering in the sky in a triangle formation. As we got closer we could clearly see the individual units were also triangle shaped, black with Red and blue lights and they hovered at equal distance from each other. They were quite large and were about 100 feet above ground level (best guess). We were in disbelief and I told her quick take a picture. She turned around and tried to take a picture out the window and they were gone. I looked in the rear view mirrors and they were gone.. Just vanished.

Richmond (near), VA
Was driving to Canada from Florida and was near Richmond on 95 when girlfriend though there was a thunderstorm because there were big flash outside. I didn't mind, but around 30 sec later, I checked to my right and saw a black triangle shaped "UFO" with big bright white lights to each corner flying by.

Leesville, SC
In December 2015, I was sitting on my back porch and noticed a big triangular shaped object in the sky. It had 3 red lights. I tought it was some type of plane at first but the object stayed in one place for approximately 20-30 minutes. I also then thought it was some type of radio tower although I had never saw a tower there before. I decided to try at take pictures of this with my phone. I could not see the objects lights in my phone, but I snapped several pictures anyway. All I could see on the picture was black. After twenty or thirty minutes the object began to move. It lowered slowly behind a line of trees and then it was gone. Ive never saw it there again. I really had not gave it much thought until today when I was scrolling through my pictures on my phone. The pictures I had took that only showed a black screen before now have an object in them. It's hard to explain the pictures but I will try and upload them for you to see.

A Light twinkling in the sky floated and changed position every few minutes. It was the shape of a triangle/tree like, with orange, white and green lights. It floated over the city and moved forward and backwards and over the course of an hour it had moved across the sky from south to north. I Tried to use binoculars but they were outdated, fuzzy and I could not see the actual form, just the lights. There was no sound. Our city noted the police department could be testing drones however I don't think they can go that high or have a battery life of that long. After 2 hours I had to go to sleep however the object was still in the sky, but I don't know for how long. Usually there are aircraft in the area no matter what day of the week, but there was none this night which is very unusual.

Pingree Grove, IL
I was driving east down route 72. I began my commute around 5:10 pm. On the horizon I noted an extraordinary amount of “stars.” Upon further thought, I dismissed them as planets as they seemed much too bright to be stars. There was a cluster of three directly ahead of me. When I looked to the left and right of them, I noted an unusual amount of points of light. I thought it was peculiar. One of the points of light, my so called “planet,” shot straight north. That is when I told myself, “Oh. That’s no planet. Planets don’t do that.” Suddenly, the entire sky was nearly pitch-black. The sunset had completed itself though it seemed faster than normal. I began watching the sky after I saw the “planet” shoot north. I saw a flying object, triangular in shape. It had light on the three points (red and white). The lights were solid and then they began to flash, almost mimicking an airplane. Then another object appeared. I had stopped at the red light at the intersection of 72 and 47, headed east, towards Elgin, Illinois. At the light, I starred at the sky and kept watching the flying objects. Once I cleared the stoplight, I pulled over the side of the road, slightly pass the John Deere place. I exited my vehicle and looked at the night sky. Some of the flying objects looked like airplanes, some were triangular and unfamiliar to me. Some made airplane noises, some were silent. I took out my cell phone to record footage but the quality is much too poor. I put my phone away and decided to watch for a bit. Some of the flying objects seemed to be flying in harmony—it almost looked like they were communicating. All the vehicles were flying at different heights. I looked at one of the triangles, one closes to the ground, and I thought to myself, “Come closer,” and almost instantly the vehicle came closer, hovered above me and my car and then flew off. Its lights were off and it felt like I was being watched. I cannot say how far off the ground it was. My highest count at any given moment was 14 flying objects—some airplanes, some unknown. I got back into my car and drove into South Elgin, Illinois. I stopped at a store on Randall Road. When I exited my car in the parking lot, I checked out the sky and noted only 4 flying vehicles. Three were definitely airplanes and the other was too far away to say. I told my friend of the encounter and she said she and her mother witnessed it, too, near their home in Kirkland, IL.

a triangular shape craft the size was about 10' x 10' x 10' about 1000 ft. in the air with three lights from the bottom. The craft rose from a lower to a higher elevation in vertical motion. There was no noise and no blinking of the lights. The lights were a dull yellow like old headlights. It appeared to be monitoring something in the area. This is the third sighting in same area. that area is a huge cow fields with some trees off of highway 101.

Sugar Grove, OH
Around 9:00 PM, I went outside with my dog and decided to walk down a long staircase that leads to a small dock on a lake in Hide-A-Way Hills. I notice a very bright light shining above the other side of the lake, above the trees. This is a common occurrence because various airplanes fly over the area. However, this light was considerably brighter. At first I thought it might be another plane but it seemed to be taking longer to travel overhead. In fact, I waited three minutes for the light to fly over the lake. When it finally did, I noticed that there were no blinking lights, and that the bottom of the craft had small white lights at all three vertices, forming a triangle shape. There was also a red light in the middle of the craft. The craft made no noise at all and seemed to be flying just above the tree tops. I’d say maybe 300-400 feet in the air. Most airplanes that fly over are ate a much higher elevation. As the craft passed by my left side, I made sure to wait for any sounds of a typical airplane, but I just couldn’t hear anything at all. It’s a very, very still night with a bright full moon. The whole time I was observing the craft looking South. The craft was traveling North and eventually passed my left side above the tree tops and disappeared over the hill. I should also note that I had just finished watching a comedy prior to going outside. As soon as I rounded the corner of the house to descend the staircase, the light emerged over the top of the trees on the other side of the lake. It felt oddly coincidental. Absolute perfect timing with a clear sky and full moon. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hi! I just recently submitted a report for a sighting in Sugar Grove, OH, regarding a triangular object. I must have accidentally entered in the wrong date because I witnessed this object on 11/25/2015. It's currently listed as 9/25/2015. I was wondering if you could update this report for accuracy when you get a chance? Thanks so much! ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM)) Date corrected on December 04, 2015. PD

Chesapeake, VA
We were driving home from the movies in Chesapeake va back to elizabeth city on 17south and to our left a few miles ahead of us, we saw high in the sky looked that looked like car lights facing the north. Of course the craft of some sort was a lot bigger but left us thinking is there a giant flying car. But it was dark and we figured it was lower flying plane. Then in the background we actually seen a plane which looked like an ant compared to this thing. As we got closer we were just like maybe it's a light tower of some sort for it hadn't moved since we first saw it. When we got parallel to it we couldn't imagine a light tower being so high in the sky. So we pulled over to try and get a better view and that's when it started to move north. Didn't shoot thru the sky just casually went north towards Chesapeake. Freaked out that it even started moving we jumped back in our car and took off watching it disappear into the dark night through the side view mirrors. This wasn't a plane of any sort and I'm a huge skeptic. Wasn't a chopper. Something that stays suspended thru the air that long and then takes off it was really odd and got me looking on the Internet for anyone else whom may have seen it. It also had blinking lights behind it that I saw as it started to take off

November 23, 2015, Approximately 6:44 pm. Driving east towards Fremont, NE. Noticed large bright light in sky. Large light blinked twice and then went away. As we drove closer we pulled over and it flew right over us. A large triangle with one white light on each end of the triangle. One red light in the middle of the triangle. This flying object made no sound whatsoever. The object quickly moved west and all lights were turned off. Except for the red light which you could see in the distance.

Shirley, MA
It was 11:30 pm. No stars seen, since there was cloud cover. I heard a loud rumble noise. I ran to the window since I have heard sounds before. 2 long triangle crafts flying near each other, in a stand up position slowly flew from East to West. Both had lights many lights on on the underside. It was above the tall pines and low enough that I saw it all so clearly. It moved slowly out of sight in the same stand up position..but not up. I got my cell phone ready if they returned, but they did not. This past 8 months I have heard many sounds in the skies here..but what I saw was not planes.

They both appear to be like glowing in and out and their just white colored. I don't hear any noises from it either. My dog is next to me and keeps barking at the sky, not sure what that's about.

Gilbert, AZ
At 8:25 PM, my three kids and myself witnessed what appeared as three yellowish lights in the southeastern sky. We were driving on the Loop 202 freeway heading eastbound. I thought maybe it was three helicopters as we have an increase of military activity on the weekend. I pointed the lights out to the kids as they approached us. What flew over us was on black triangle with three lights that had the brightness of streetlights or a tad brighter. I had the windows down in the car and slowed down to try and identify the craft. This triangle made no noise at all and was about 1000 feet above us. The children wanted to know what aircraft is that huge and shaped that way. I had no answer. I've seen stealth aircraft fly over at NFL games and this wasn't even close to the size of a stealth. This was about four street lights long as I stand outside hoping to see this again! A reference note....I have worked in the airline industry for over 20 years and have never witnessed anything flying like this.

Franklin, TN
My cousin, my child, and I were driving coming down a hill and I noticed bright lights in the sky right above the tree line. At first, I believed it was an airplane, but it was too low and the lights did not move instead they remained stationary. My cousin sitting next to me in the passender seat also noticed these light without me saying anything. I told him to try and record it and we did catch it on video. What caught our attention was how low the lights were to the ground the shape as we approacued closers was triangular and had about 6-8 very bright lights surrounding the triangular shape. The object was directly in top of the neighborhood we were heading towrds. The light then proceeded to move across the street and directly above the tree line in the neighborhood across the street from our destination. We lowered our windows and did not hear any noise coming from the flying object, it was completely silent outside. In the video you can here me saying, " is it landing?" As it appeared the object was falling towrds the ground very slowly. Then it started to move along the tree line parallel to the road we were driving on. As we turned into the neighborhood of our destination, we felt uneasy because the object was literally flying parallel to our neighborhood and we still had a very clear view of it. The flying object appeared very large in size and triangular, the lights were bright white, did not flash, and seemed as if they were attached to the object. We got to our destination and looked out the house window to see if it was still visible, but the trees obstructed our view. The whole incident lasted about 5 minuses that we personally saw, though there is no way of knowing how long it had been hovering above the spot where we first saw it.

Phoenix, AZ
We noticed a large bright light which, seemed low to the ground coming from the N.W. Phoenix area towards 39th Lane and Camelback Avenue. As it got closer it became clear that it was an aircraft. It had 4 normal colored lights on the front of the object, facing outward & not too bright or too dim. On the top of the aircraft were two attached but, different lights. (On the left: a red slower flashing light & on the right: a faster blinking bluish light). The aircraft was triangular in shape & the only way I can actually describe it as I witnessed it, is: Push all of your fingers outward on your left or right hand, (as far as you can), and imagine it filled in by a darker beige color, with the front lights in between each finger. The Aircraft passed over us at 39th Lane & Camelback and landed just passed 39th Avenue & Indian School Rd. Therei s absolutely NO Where to land an aircraft of that size, over there.
