Le 28 septembre 2015 à 5h26 un témoin à l'extérieur observe durant 5 secondes le passage silencieux dans le ciel d'une forme triangulaire rouge (extrémités rondes rouges, l'objet lui-même étant moins lumineux que ses extrémités). Le PAN se déplace parallèlement à l'horizon, en un mouvement rectiligne et disparait instantanément dans le ciel profond. Un seul témoignage est recueilli. Le témoin observe un triangle rouge limité par 3 lumières rouge vif ; il est possible que la forme triangulaire soit une illusion de perception (illusion de contour), et que seules les 3 lumières soient bien réelles. Le relevé des passages de satellites sur Calsky indique deux satellites visibles à l'horizon Nord Est où observe le témoin : USA 16/NOSS 1-7A, et Lacrosse 5 Rocket. Il y a bien un 3eme satellite sur la même trajectoire : NOSS 6 (D), mais il passe 10 mn plus tard. On ne peut donc pas corréler directement l'observation du témoin avec ces 3 satellites, à moins que la modélisation Calsky soit imprécise. La couleur rouge serait étonnante, mais à basse élévation, ce serait envisageable du fait de l'épaisseur de l'atmosphère traversée. On peut aussi penser à des lanternes thaïlandaises se déplaçant vers le Sud, poussées par le léger vent de Nord (cf Météociel) mais le jour et l'heure (lundi matin) paraissent peu compatible avec cette hypothèse. Le GEIPAN classe ce phénomène peu étrange en catégorie C par manque d'information permettant de confirmer ou d'infirmer ces hypothèses. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]

Lincoln, NE
On the night of the Lunar Eclipse, I went outside about half past midnight to get some cool air. I lit a cigarette and proceeded to scan the sky to see the moon. The moon was bright in the western sky. However I looked up to the east and I saw red, green, and white lights blinking in the sky in a triangle shape. As there is a Skunk Works base not too far south from here I thought it might be a stealth bomber coming in, because it was much larger than say a 727.. which is usally the biggest passenger jet to land in Lincoln. Once I put my glasses on, I could see a Triangle Craft hovering over the southeast. I watched it for around 30 minutes before I came inside. About an hour to an hour and a half later I went back outside... and to my surprise it was still there.

about 10pm (lunar eclipse) i was swinging in a porch swing chair laying down. on the opposite side of the sky as the moon i saw a cluster of what appeared to be stars. i knew that was not normal so i had looked fully at it. i saw the v shape of lights moving. at this time i shot up and looked, there where about a dozen dimly lit white lights moving really fast and flying really smooth with no noise. but there was one light off center more inside the v. i saw no strobes (to indicate nav lights) so it wasn't a formation of jets. im rather excited to witness something like this.

Salem, MA
I was outside the university watching the blood moon/super moon. There were over 50 students present watching the moon. It was still in the process of being covered since it was only about 10 pm. I am a loner so I went to watch it alone on one of the benches meanwhile everyone else was sitting around 150 feet from me. There were 2 girls sitting on the other bench near mine to my left. Everyone was preoccupied in their chatter and I was cold and bored with nothing much to do so I kept looking around. The moon was to the right and so were the big crowd of students. However when I looked to the left a very large aircraft went by. I couldn't believe what I was seeing since I have lived near the airport for 18 years and am very aware how aircrafts look and could easily identify them at night. This was different though since it was triangular in shape and upon closer inspection it was made of a black metallic object. I thought I may be overexagerating which is why I I spoke up and asked the girl next to me if she thought the plane looked odd. I pointed the plane out to her and she agreed that it was in fact unlike anything she has seen before. I had my IPad in hand since I was taking pictures of the moon and quickly took pictures of the object. At the same time I was focusing on the sound it was sort of whizzing but it made no sense because there was no way you could hear an airplane in Salem. It was a hard sound to make out because of the loud chatter and laughing of the students. It was going too fast my camera couldn't focus so I tried to do the best I could go get one picture that could at least make out the light formation that I was seeing. Although I could see the plane in decent detail my camera only picked up five lights in a triangular formation. The sort of formation that birds use when migrating. I could only get two pictures in poor quality because of how quickly it had happened. I presume no one else saw it since there was no one freaking out like me or the girl next to me. Eve yone was occupied looking the other way towards the moon.

My wife and I were sitting on the back deck with our children watching the Supermoon/Lunar Eclipse. At 9:43, the kids had just gone inside when my wife and I saw a triangular craft directly in the sight of the moon. The craft had blue and red lights blinking rapidly, and there were stationary lights shining on the bottom. While in sight of the moon, the craft maneuvered with 90 degree angles and what seemed like sharp figure 8 motions. A few seconds after moving sporadically, the craft stabilized and flew in a straight line out of sight. Besides the impressive maneuvering, the triangular craft moved at a rate of speed seeming faster than what a jet would. The craft looked solid with its triangular shape.

I thought maybe it was just from the rains, but as all the clouds moved out, the triangle remained in the same spot. I went to bed and woke up about 6am and went outside to see it was still there. I ran inside to grab my phone and when I came back, you could only see where it had been and now it’s gone.

A massive triangle was spotted overhead while I was viewing the eclipse. It was moving northward and completely silent. Only the points of the triangle were lit - diamond white light. At an arm's length the space between each lit point was approximately 6 inches, indicating a very large object. I believe it was exo-atmospheric. When I became aware of it, I saw it "glide" across the space of sky for about 10 seconds before vanishing. It seemed to move effortlessly. I have been observing objects in the sky for more than 20 years. I am familiar with various types of satellites and aircraft. This one was peculiar.

There was a dark triangular very large in the sky. It produced an odd sound and had dim lights. It went in a smooth track and disappeared into the sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My wife and i were driving north of the CT 15, and I was looking at the super moon, all of the sudden this huge bright object appears from nowhere (V-shape) flying very slow towards the moon, then while I start looking for my phone to take a pic, the object was vanished like it never been there.

Loomis, CA
I was looking out the kitchen window and my eye caught a huge light flying very low. I continued to watch it and when it flew over the house I was able to see the bottom of it. It seemed to be a triangular craft because the lights I saw on the bottom of the craft were lined triangularly. There were three lights on the bottom of the craft that looked like a triangle. The object was very loud as well. Creepy!

It was approximately 10PM on 9/26/15. I was out in the back yard smoking a cigarette and checking the hot tub. I saw an object approaching from the Southeast. Cloud cover was cumulo-stratus, and there was a full moon. This is why I could see the triangle shape. I can’t estimate speed but it was jet aircraft type speed or greater. I was in Navigation in the Navy, and am an expert boater on the great lakes. The craft had an amber colored light on its starboard side and roughly half way down the leading edge of the its wing. It made absolutely no noise and the light was steady with no flash. Typically, you observe a green light on your left wing and a red light on your wing on approaching view. I was stupefied, as the steady light remained visible as the object went by CPA, and light remained visible as it went away. I thought this was all very peculiar and impossible. The object must have been slightly climbing as it disappeared into the clouds as it went over Lansing, Michigan. It was heading on a direct Northwest direction in terms of Cardinal headings and in TRUE degrees and not magnetic. So, about the time the first object fades into the cloud,; another identical craft approaches from the Southeast and roughly on the same line as the first but slightly on a path to the right of the previous object. Same thing, steady amber light, no flash and no noise. The second object appeared not to be ascending but on level flight just below the cloud ceiling. The third object was exactly the same as the previous two and it approached from the Southeast as well and was on the same line but slightly to the left of the other two objects. At first, I thought UFO, but the silhouette was more like a stealth fighter. Trouble is, I am guessing cloud ceiling was about 10,000 feet and visibility was unlimited and these were much too big to a stealth fighter. I estimate size at jet airliner scale or slightly larger. One last thing; that amber light was particularly large.

I thought I saw fireworks in the distance, but orange fireball kept rising and moved toward me and across the sky, directly overhead from me, and my house and disappeared past the tree line. It appeared to be 1/8-1/4 mi overhead, silent, well-lit orange triangle moving 80-100 mph. I'm a 54 yr. old male. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

The lights changed colors and l noticed about all the colors of the spectrum. I grabbed my phone and took pictures, then video'd the object. The object continued to hover silently in one place. The object began appearing and disappearing, finally disappearing with one beam of purple light coming down from the clouds.

I was driving and to my left, saw a triangle shaped object with 3 lights underneath - hovering in place, about the same distance as a low flying plane. It was large, and perfectly symmetrical. No forward movement for at least 30 seconds. It then started to slowly move, as I drove by a building and lost sight of it. The next evening, a Facebook friend wrote of an account he had just witnessed, in the same town. He spoke of a triangle object, with three yellow lights underneath, about a mile up, and the size of a football field just hovering in place. He ran into his home to show his wife, and when he came out, it had vanished. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

1. Venus was MUCH brighter. 2. Venus didn't have a hazy yellow triangle shape around it. 3. Venus didn't have a separate flitting "sparkle" light. 4. Venus didn't move. 5. Venus didn't eventually fade out leaving behind that optical illusion that when you slightly avert your eyes, you can still "see" it. (No clouds, other stars still clearly visible). Just thought I would clarify. :)

I got up at about 4:20 am. Went upstairs to the bathroom. Had heard on Facebook about a sighting the day before near our neighborhood, looked out window, not expecting to see anything, but there WAS something. Triangular pale yellow light, not solid, but still triangular. Small bright white dot of light in the center, and a "twinkle" light appearing and disappearing all around it. Object made no sound at all. It moved very slightly in various directions, very deliberately. Took video of it on my daughter's iPad. Did not film the object well. My daughter, 16, got up and watched it with me for about 10 minutes. The "twinkle" light had gone by this time, but we both saw it move. After a while, it grew dimmer and dimmer until it was gone. Possibly Venus?? PD

While standing out on Cocoa Beach, my wife and I saw a triangle shaped object appear and travel up the coast moving at an extremely slow rate of speed. It had dim orange lights on the bottom of the object. It passed directly over us and made no sound at all then vanished. I never believed in U.F.O.'s until last night. It really startled me. I worked as a Deputy Sheriff for ten years and now work for the federal government. I have no reason to lie or make anything up. I would love to have someone's take on this if they've ever see this object before.

While driving to work on Karcher road I spotted 3 bright blue lights in the shape of a triangle. The lights were blinking not in unison but one at a time, going from right to left to center. While watching the object, the blue lights switched from 3 down to 1 blinking blue light. The object did not appear to be moving at a high speed and was heading towards Boise. There were no other colored lights on the object- Blue lights only! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Was heading down the interstate from Salem to Luka and saw what I thought was a purple star in the distance. I pointed it out to my friend and we realized we were getting closer to it. It wasn't a plane, it wasn't moving at all. We passed it a little to the left and we saw it had flashing red green and purple lights. Don't know what it was but it wasn't moving at all.

3 lights orange moving switching places to create different shaped triangles two other lights seemed to dart in and out up and down through the triangle. Clouds were extremely low so lights were very close.

Saw a bright light in the sky. As I took a closer look I noticed it was hovering far in the distance and it was flashing red, green, and white lights. I watched for ten minutes and then went inside to get my parents, we all then went outside and witnessed this object hover high in the air for a long duration of time. We then witnessed two (what we were assuming were jets) fly toward the hovering object at a very fast rate and got very close to it and flew away. We then watched it slowly descend over time until it disappeared into the distance. This all happened over a duration of 1 hour.

Noticed a a flashing like out side of your living room area. When I noticed it was flashing blue/red/white/purple. I got up to try and get a better look of it outside the window. I saw it south east it was moving East toward Pottstown direction. When I got up to see a better look it had turned a white and moon type of yellow. But too close to be the moon or any stare because it was moving through the trees. Plus, the other witness that I was with say it first moving in the East direction. I ran out side and at that point only could see the blue and red flashing light then lost it though the trees. This object was low to the ground and to big to be a airplane or a helicopter. I would guess that the object could have not bin more then 4 miles. There was no sound just brilliant flashes of blue and red light.
