Ok: so I was outside looking at the giant amazing sky, when this… I don't even know how to explain it but… V shaped thing came into my view. It could not have been more than 500 feet up off the ground, was very faint, I did not discern a tail, and the sides of the V which is basically two thirds of this triangle were emanating this strange glow that kind of reminded me of embers in a fire burning low. The part of the V that I was able to see was flying low, and was comprised of circular rotations that made up the V… If that makes sense? The object came into my site went over my head and literally into the darkness and it was silent, but it felt like something… Some mass… Had passed really close to me. The faint orange lights in the circles were turning, themselves in an erratic fashion but it kept in a straight V until I looked for it to hit the horizon and then it was a straight shine of light, and then gone.

Le 19 septembre 2015 un témoin regardant les étoiles et en particulier la Petite-Ours est surpris de constater le déplacement rectiligne de 3 spots lumineux gris fixes formant un triangle isocèle dans le ciel. Aucune trainée, aucun halo, aucun bruit ne sont remarqués lors du passage conjoint des trois spots. Ces derniers s'éteignent progressivement sur une seconde. L’observation a duré 8 secondes au total. De suite après cette observation le témoin suit le passage d’un avion traversant la trajectoire du PAN. Aucun autre témoignage ne sera recueilli. Le témoin ne peut donner l'heure exacte de l'observation mais donne cependant une indication (essai en rugby des français contre les italiens) : l'enquêteur a pu déterminer l'heure d'observation qui est 22h31(voir le compte rendu d'enquête). Des hypothèses aéronautiques (passage avion), aérospatiales (satellites ou lancement de fusée) ont donc pu être étudiées. D’étrangeté moyenne, mais de consistance suffisante, ce cas peut être une méprise possible avec un vol d'oiseaux éclairés par une source lumineuse au sol. L'aspect non ponctuel des spots lumineux composant le PAN ainsi que sa vitesse angulaire rapide sont compatibles avec cette hypothèse. De plus, il existe deux sources pouvant potentiellement éclairer des oiseaux par en-dessous dans la direction indiquée par le témoin. Ce cas est classé B, méprise possible avec un vol d'oiseaux éclairés par une source lumineuse nocturne. [GEIPAN classification B — Oiseau]

The object was flying at a constant speed for 40 seconds when it disappeared in the clouds. Amazing!

Baltimore, MD
Out of no where, a second aircraft appeared where we saw the first one. There were no clouds in the sky for the object to go behind. The second aircraft moved just as slowly, and began to follow the first one until they were both out of view. There were 3 of us that witnessed these crafts. We also live in a city where airplanes fly over all the time. These were not airplanes. We shot a video from our phone, but all it shows is two glowing dots. The only value is to show how slowly they move, and the flickering glow of the sphere.

La Grande (atop Mt. Emily), OR
After watching the black triangle craft for a couple of minutes I noticed A SECOND TRIANGLE incoming from the North. Shortly thereafter, the two black triangles joined at the hip and began flying side by side until out of sight, a short time later. Both craft appeared to be of the same make and design. FINAL NOTE: During the summer of 2014 I spotted two more of these black triangle craft. The first craft I saw flying overhead in Pateros, Washington. A few weeks later I saw another one of these craft flying over near Hanford, Washingtion. Each black triangle craft have matched in size, lighting and performance. These craft move very slowly as you may already know. I ATTEST THESE STATEMENTS ARE TRUE AND ACCURATE TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. Thank You....

This sighting happened on 9-12-2015. As I was outside walking my cat. On my way back inside. This happened around 9:15 pm and 9:20 pm. I spotted a flying Triangle down the road flying over tree's and power lines. I seen 3 solid large white lights (Not flashing) On each corner. It had no sound what so ever. I never seen anything like it before in this area.

I was driving west on Hwy 62 at the 35w interchange. Sky was clear and I saw a black object that looked like a hang glider shape/triangle floating in the sky. I thought maybe a military plane (B-2 spirit). It started to turn and looked very thin and disappeared.

Ardmore, PA
My wife and I parked our car right off county line rd a block up from Karen's hair in Ardmore Pennsylvania . We started walking north twords my friends house above Karen's hair. As we walked we observed a triangle shaped aircraft with 3 purple circle lights on the bottom. We stopped for 5 to 10 mins and observed the Triangular aircrafts were floating about a half a mile in the air. This Triangular aircraft appeared to be slowly towing an identical Triangular aircraft. The towed Triangular aircraft seemed in complete control defying physics. No visible tow line but it was being towed. They appeared to be floating almost cutting htrough the night sky .As the 2 Triangular aircrafts flew north silently a third Triangular aircraft appeared from the south east and proceeded to catch up and help tow the 2nd Triangular aircraft making for a total of 3 dark colored Triangular silent aircraft

We were lying on the beach, looking at the stars, and noticed 3 lights in a V-pattern moving in abnormal fast directions. At times we could see parts of the craft body due to distance. It went on about 15 minutes and was our first sighting

Chardon, OH
Perfect triangular shape with fainter white lights at all three points. A very distinct red slowly blinking light on the bottom of the craft with a good amount of distance between the red light and any of the white ones. It moves pretty slow to the northeast with no sound. I watched it for about 7 minutes. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a plane especially because planes have a couple different colors of blinking lights and this craft was low enough that I could see detail.

One huge dark triangle aircraft flew slowly past my back yard at an unusually low altitude. The craft had green red and blue lights on it. It made a loud humming noise as it cruised.

I was walking to my mail box,and I heard what sounded like a engine. I saw a triangular ship with one light blinking on and off like it was failing. I chased it cause I knew what the ship belonged to. It disappeared into the tress of my neighborhood. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Cicero, IL
Witness 1 Three orange orbs were spotted in a triangular formation by three witnesses at 1054 pm in Cicero, Illinois. The orbs moved north across the sky at high speeds and seemed to turn, in unison to head east then slowly faded into the distance. They were similar to the altitude of commercial aircraft. Witness 2 Reports a triangle shaped air craft flying north overhead. I can describe the flying formation as similar to birds flying together in a triangle. They also looked similar to birds. I believe the object was either reflecting light or emiting it. Three dim lit UFO(s) flew together one leading the two space crafts behind along the two sides. I recall the three objects rotating in a unison pattern. They did move together to change direction in the sky from north to east slightly in the sky. 10:45 PM CST

It flew in a straight line heading west then turned southwards. There was no sound coming from the craft whatsoever. There was 3 lights in a triangle shape that did not flicker or blink. We stopped to look at it, and it was completely gone.

Helena, MT
On 9/11/15 at approximately 9:00 pm mst, Helena, MT (near historic downtown) I was in my yard with my girlfriend and we were looking at the stars looking for the fall/winter constellations when a completely silent triangular object with three dull amber circular lights appearing to be approximately 1 ½ to 2 times size of a full moon. The object darted across the sky at an inexplicably high rate of speed in a southeasterly direction then vanished.

Mayflower, AR
My father and I where unhooking the boat from a day of fishing at my house. I noticed a very bright light moving rapidly from the south. As it was nearing closer into my field of vision it was displaying erratic fly patterns. Zooming side to side before stopping and hovering, then moving quickly back and forth and stopping again, no noise. I ran inside and got my wife to come outside and also grabbed the binoculars. When I focused on the craft I could clearly make out 3 white lights and one blue light lined up horizontally. The blue light toward the left end. There were no flashing beacons or red lights displayed. We sat there and watched it for approximately 3 minutes and my father said it had to be a drone. I asked if he had ever seen a drone and he said no. The craft disappeared behind the tree-line and he left to go home and I went inside to take a shower and my wife came back inside and said it was back while I was in the shower and I ran outside! with only my towel on, as I was making my way to the door the power went out. I opened the door and my neighborhood and perhaps the city of Mayflower was in a blackout and there was the craft just hovering in the sky that was changing different hues of blue. The power then came back on and the craft continued to hover for about 2 minutes then disappeared. Caught on video with an I-PAD. Weird stuff. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Greetings Peter Davenport, I received your reply from my other email address. The video was shot with an IPAD as stated and is very shaky and grainy as my wife was shooting it and kept moving around. You can clearly see at one point how the street lamp was barely glowing after the power went out and then was brightly lit suddenly when the power came back on. I am no authority on such sightings and it very well could have been a drone, I guess, but it moved really fast in from the south and the height was hard to judge but looked to be a half mile to a mile up and the movements were very precise when shifting directions. Considering this event was witnessed with a power failure also led me to believe it may not have been a drone. Again it could have just been a coincidence. Also our house is located right under a street lamp that kind of hinders the quality of the video. You can clearly hear us getting excited when we witnessed the event. I am skeptical of sending this video to anyone because I wish to remain anonymous as well as have our voices muted in the video or altered if I do send it to you. This is my wife's second sighting at this address but my first. Her first sighting happened (with no video) in the fall approximately two years ago in the daytime when she witnessed a huge cigar like shape that was holographic/translucent in physical form that passed right over the house with no noise. As it passed over, the power lines that ran in front of our house shook violently according to her. According to her this was craft of no earthly origin, that much she is certain of. No one else apparently witnessed the event and I had a hard time believing her, maybe not so much now. This object also came out of the southern hemisphere. Just some noteworthy info..there is an air force base not to far from here (20 miles or so) also. The Jacksonville Air Force Base as well as Camp Joseph T Robinson, a military training facility are both in close proximity to each other and our location. Please respond to this email if you need to contact me. ((END ADDENDUM)) Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Evans, CO
I witnessed 6 dimly lit orange red colored V-shaped lights flying in a V formation. It appeared fairly close, but made zero noise. I noticed some movement in the corner of my eye and when I moved my head to look at it, I noticed it was something like I've never seen before. The 6 lights were either separate objects, or separate lights on a single object. They moved in perfect synchronization. I had my cell phone with me, but by the time I opened the camera app, the object was gone.

It was a little past 22:00 hrs. last night. I was outside letting my dog use the restroom before I put him into his pen. Something caught my eye in the sky. It seemed that it flashed that is what caught my attention but as I finally focused on it, it was black looked kinda triangular was silent and didn't move like a bird. Was very steady not very high in the sky at all and was moving southwest.

Probable conventional[D139] De Ecrainville, Haute Normandie · France
Le 6 septembre 2015 à environ 10h40 une automobiliste est surprise par une ombre qui semble cacher le soleil. Tout en conduisant et en se penchant à l'avant, la conductrice aperçoit, à travers le pare-brise, une forme triangulaire légèrement incurvée sur les cotés avec un rond plus clair à chaque extrémité. L'ensemble est d'une couleur noir mat. Averti, le passager avant ouvre la fenêtre mais ne voit rien. L'automobiliste continue sa route. Un peu plus loin, les deux témoins verront le phénomène s'éloigner en direction de Breteville (50). Aucun bruit n'est entendu. Aucune lumière n'est vue. Un seul témoignage est recueilli. L’hypothèse de l’avion est la plus probable (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). En effet, le dimanche 06 septembre 2015, il y a eu un évènement à 13 kilomètres de là plus à l’ouest. Il s’agissait d’honorer les pilotes de la grande guerre et deux avions Rafale de l’armée française ont survolé la baie d’Étretat vers 10h30. Il est tout à fait possible qu’un de ces avions ait survolé exactement le lieu de l’observation et en soit l’origine. La description de l’avion par le témoin peut faire penser à un Rafale, avec des différences qui peuvent résulter des conditions d’observation difficiles (observation principale rapide car faite par un conducteur juste avant un rond point). C’est l’absence de bruit qui a le plus étonné les deux témoins et le fait qu’apparemment personne d’autre n’ait observé ce phénomène « nous étions un dimanche matin, il y a des promeneurs, d’autres véhicules … ». Mais il est possible dans certaines conditions de ne pas entendre le bruit d’un avion (voir à ce sujet l’excellente étude de Gaelle Fedoce), et le GEIPAN sait aussi par expérience que la « surprise visuelle » peut masquer ou inhiber la perception sonore. Le fait qu’il n’y a pas eu d’autres témoignages plaide de fait en faveur de l’hypothèse avion. Les autres personnes ont pu observer dans de meilleures conditions la même chose que les deux témoins et reconnaitre un avion, dans ce cas aucun besoin de témoigner. Faute de disposer des données radar pour cette observation et des trajectoires exactes de ces deux Rafales, nous ne pouvons pas valider définitivement l’hypothèse qu’un Rafale ait pu survoler la voiture des témoins. La deuxième hypothèse, celle qu’un drone civil ou militaire se trouvant dans la zone, est moins probable (évolution angulaire trop rapide). En conséquence le GEIPAN classe le cas en B : méprise probable avec un avion. [GEIPAN classification B — Avion]
