I was walking my dog with my son like I usually do around 9-10 pm and my son said “look dada” and he had pointed out a flying plane that you could see the red blinking lights and such and I’d say 4 seconds later, I looked away and looked up again and i see a HUGE triangle ship “gliding” across the sky. It was flying above the plane my son had pointed out and it was completely silent. The lights were bright in a perfect shaped “V” on the front of the triangle and it was flying about 78 degrees from the horizon so it was kinda above me. It was so big and I stared at it in awe and I had goosebumps and I felt happy as hell. Never in my life I have never seen anything like that and something that HUGE going across the sky and I say it was “gliding” because it did not move like a normal object. It seemed to go across the sky so effortlessly by just simply “gliding” on it. Lasted a solid 10 seconds max but that’s being lenient, it went across the sky really fast until it got out of my view across the top of my apartment building .

I had been texting my friend after putting away the dogs in the garage and I walked outside and heard what sounded like a plane. I looked up and saw a triangle of three green and white dots steadily moving across the sky. I tried to take pictures but they wouldn’t turn out and the UFO looked like a blob on camera. Soon it was out of sight Begins trees and I no longer heard it.

I am a police officer and deputy sheriff. While on duty after dark, near the top of my windshield (frame of view) I witnessed movement in the sky (southbound direction of view). Upon concentrating my focus, viewing through the low light, I was able to make out a triangle craft, with 3 dim green lights per side (just bright enough to assess size, shape, and movement). The craft moved to my right (westbound). Due to tree coverage, I lost sight of it quickly, to which I never located it again, maintaining visual contact for less than 10 seconds. While it appeared very low, it is difficult to determine distance, size, and speed, given the relationship between those factors. I did not hear any noises, however I was at speed on the roadway inside a vehicle. I am privy to what helicopters and airplanes look like in the sky, frequently working alongside medical flight crews in the area, and where nearby airports are, making me somewhat familiar with common areas of the sky in which low air travel is common. This was unlike anything I had ever witnessed. It should also be noted, that within approximately one hour of my sighting, I responded to a call from a homeowner reporting hearing something running outside of his home, to which he stated did not sound like an animal. The callers’ residence was in the direction from which the object came when I witnessed it, as the crow flies, in a heavily wooded and forested area. There were no other similar or relevant calls, and no reported sightings through our 911 center.

I was sitting on the street in front of my house, with my relatives, then I suddenly looked up at the sky, and then I saw some lights in the sky, at first I thought it was a plane, but it wasn't because it was completely shaped, and the lights of the planes are red, and the lights this time were orange, these lights were forming a triangle. Then my relatives also started to see these lights, I asked one of them to take my cell phone so I could take a photo of the UFO, but before bringing me the cell phone that was inside the house, the UFO disappeared in the middle of the clouds, when the clouds gone, the UFO was no longer there, it simply disappeared. Sorry if my English is bad, I speak Portuguese...

Cowes, ENGLAND · United Kingdom
In the early morning of Sunday 29 October 2023 at a mid-point of 05:30 for 4 minutes (between 05:25 earliest to 05:35 latest), an unusual large triangular aircraft (Vulcan bomber sized but just a triangle - no fuselage or front cockpit) was seen clearly by two observers as it passed over West Cowes, Isle of Wight, UK. It was on a flight path from the south south-west (e.g.direction of Brighstone, IOW) going over West Cowes IOW where the High Street meets Birmingham Road and went away toward the north north-east (e.g. over The Solent sea channel and toward Netley, Southampton). Only the lights were seen when it first appeared but the whole solid triangle shape emerged as it approached us and passed overhead. Elevation when the lights alone were first seen in the clear, dark sky was ca. 36 degrees according to my inclinometer (below Venus and the Moon), which puts it at about 1,200 feet altitude, then it overpassed us and the solid grey triangle shape showed against the night sky and could be seen clearly. It had non-conventional (illegal by CAA standards for port and starboard illumination?) navigation lights: green constant strip-lights along both wingtips and a powerful red lamp in the central underbelly which occasionally blinked but not in a set pattern. No white navigation lights were seen. The green strip lights seemed inset into and along the front wingtip surface because I could see the grey horizontal top and bottom metal surface lines of the wing sandwiching above and below the green light layer. It flew unusually slowly, coasting as it came toward us in a straight line and the engine sounded so muted that nighttime background noise of street lights and very distant traffic hummed louder, so it was hard to pick its sound out of the background. It looked too large and heavy (60 tons plus?) to stay in the air at apparently near to stalling speed and in the absence of any powerful jet engine roar. The wingspan appeared to be about 160 feet. The triangular fuselage was dull grey but I could see some striations (not perfect linear marks) running from the back to front of the triangle underneath. This aircraft was headed in the direction of, but not going to land at, Southampton Airport as I contacted them and they said local bye-laws for operation do not allow them to receive aircraft before 06:30. I assume this was a new type of US military stealth aircraft but it was not a Northrop B2 Spirit as that design is smaller, lighter and has an incomplete triangle shape (gap at the rear). The Raider was announced recently but it looked even larger than that and the navigation lights on the craft we watched are in different positions to the more conventional lights on a Raider. Also, the rear side of the triangle we watched was almost filled in, not quite a straight edge but close, whereas the two known aircraft which I mentioned have an open gap or zig-zag rear. I tried to photograph it but my phone does not have a night setting so it came out dark. My daughter tried to take a film in the dark (attached - she sent it to me the next day, so that may change the nighttime film's timestamp to daytime?) as it began to go out of sight over the roof line of our house but all she recorded was the big red central lamp. The triangle did not contrast enough to show in the darkness on the film. I have no idea if this was an unannounced human-made stealth aircraft (is the TR3-B real?) or if it could possibly have been something more exotic and not man-made. Has anyone else reported seeing this please?

Davis and Woodland (beetween; closer to Davis), CA
There were two yellow lights, it seemed like the bigger brighter one was still, but the smaller one was seemed to be moving. The bigger one was moving with the smaller one, as if they were connected on one craft, but it only seemed like the smaller one was moving up and down. Another light appeared above the bigger one. It was the smallest, it too was yellow. It seemed like, as we were driving the lights were moving across the sky, only the smaller two were going up and down. When we were getting close to Davis, the lights seemed brighter and bigger too sort of a bright reflection on them. And then they disappeared behind the trees, even when we looked at the direction they were, we couldn't see them.

Government Hill, AZ
A friend and I were walking a dog on east bound US Forest Service road #336 heading toward Apache Lake AZ from the Mills Ridge Forest Service Road #429. We looked up and saw an enormous white triangle craft oriented with the one point situated straight down. The craft appeared to be a bit longer than wide. In three seconds the craft narrowed and then disappeared - it did not fly off. One instant it was there and the next instant in time it was not there. The craft was enormous as we could compare it to the mountains on the east side of the Salt River Canyon. It was about 1/3 the height of the mountain side which mountain is estimated to rise 2000 feet from Apache lake level. I estimate craft was between 500 and 1000 ft in length. The craft was approximately 2.5 miles from us as measured on Forest Service map. From this close distance it was simply enormous. There was no noise, sound or exhaust from craft.Color was a milky white with sharp distinct edges. No lights were observed and craft was not reflective. Weather was clear and the temperature was in the 60s Fahrenheit. Sighting spot: (33.6731349, -111.2189123) Craft spot: (33.6572906, -111.1776200)

Avondale, TX
As my partner and I were driving home very early that morning I noticed what appeared to be the lights from three airplanes on the approach to Hicks Field just SW of me in Saginaw, TX. I thought there was about to be a collision between the three lights until I noticed that the three white lights moved in tandem with each other. As I watched it became apparent they were part of a single craft. As it got closer the lights continued to move. The triangle was slowly rotating, if I remember correctly, in a clockwise motion. So no point or side was a leading edge as it came in my direction. It flew with the bottom slightly angled/elevated so that I could always see the three lights on the bottom. As the Triangle got almost overhead I heard what sounded like a very vague HUM. It was so soft that had there been any other noise I would have never heard the hum. I am not sure if because it was so vague that there was a “pulse” in the hum. It was difficult to tell since it was so quiet. As the rotating Triangle began passing overhead it slowly turned in a more Eastward direction. It was such a gentle slow turn, while rotating and so huge. It was stunning to watch. As the lights at the corners came overhead I thought how they looked “flat”. It reminded me of recessed ceiling lights. The lights were not very bright and simply looked like diffused soft white bulbs. The lights were seamless in the bottom corners of the triangle. As the middle of this triangle came virtually overhead what appeared to be a blue/purplish "haze like" light in the center. I tried to focus on one of the edges or corners of the Triangle as it passed. It was so dark though that without the lights on the corner bottoms I could barely make out the entire shape. The sides and corners seemed rounded but it was so dark. Up until that moment I really considered I was seeing a low flying dirigible of the Air Force from Carswell AFB (Now NAS) in Ft. Worth. And I thought it was extremely stupid to be flying low across the approach of an airport. That was until I realized how big it was. I have seen dirigibles many times and they are loud when that close. This was silent. And the rotation!? The tilt? A triangle? No dirigible could fly like that. I could not take my eyes off the triangle. It silently moved away and towards the approach of Alliance Airport runway. But as it moved East I lost sight of the lights as the tilt of the triangle was now away from me. The top of the triangle had no lights and was just a black mass disappearing away from me. As the Triangle moved away I got out a camera I had in the back seat. I tried to get it in the viewfinder but it was so difficult to see in the dark that it was impossible through the camera. I took some quick pics of where I thought it was but the images came out to nothing. I was telling my partner what I was seeing but he would not get out of the car. And would not look up. I have asked him for years why he did not get out and look. To this day he just says he doesn't know.

I was working night shift on break at work in the Spokane Valley when I looked up and was gazing at the stars. When I noticed movement out of the corner of my eye, I then honed in on a triangle shaped group of 3 lights that were very dim, no brighter than the background stars, that was definitely closer then the stars, moving rapidly while rotating slowly. No flashing lights or sound was emitted.

My girlfriend picked me up to go to the store. As soon as we started heading south we noticed 3 very bright lights in the sky, flashing colors not typical of aircraft, satellites, planets or stars. I immediately had a gut feeling I knew what it was. Upon driving to the store to get a better view, I noticed they changed positions slightly. Once at the door I was able to locate them again and finally snap a picture with my phone that has 100x zoom. As you can see, the light pattern is not typical of anything usual. I proceeded to try and take video, but my camera can't take video at that zoom level. We went into the store and came out. They were all gone.

Driving down the hill from the center of town, on the way to pick up my wife from work at Christopher heights, me and my children saw three solid orange lights in the shape of a big triangle hovering silently in the sky for about 5 seconds then we could not see it any longer. After waiting about 15 minutes for my wife we headed home the same direction we came, again seeing the same lights hovering over the old state school grounds where there are two new rotaries. I pulled into one of the rotaries to stop and look at the craft it was very big was not a helicopter or a plane and had like I said three orange solid lights shaped like a triangle we watched it for about 2 minutes before the lights just went out and disappeared.

About 835 pm I observed a large triangular craft approaching from the west. It had very bright lights that strobed and it moved slowly to the south until it disappeared from my view. I could not hear any sounds coming from it. I was seeing it from a distance. Probably half a mile or so. I tried and failed to get a picture. I did not have anyone with me. I am a retired chemist.

San Pedro, CA
I like to sit in my San Pedro backyard and satellite watch. Tonight, at about 7:43, while facing south toward Catalina, a silent, dim, compact triangle with about 5 lights flew from the east toward the west. It looked almost translucent. It was about the size of what I imagine an F117 would be. The speed was brisk but not fighter-jet speed, if that makes sense. There was a light hazy cloud cover hanging over the coast that served to amplify the sighting. Stars and satellites could be seen in spite of the clouds. At first I thought it was a ‘V’ formation of seabirds. My next thought was, ‘that’s a flying triangle, omigod!’.

Large triangular craft with three turbine type hover engines displaying undulating white and red lights moved over my head slowly and very quitely. But also made the birds quiet. The craft moved directly over my head, I could not tell it’s depth or if it was manned or man-able I thought at first it was a military survillance drone (?)

My husband and I both witnessed an object in the sky with 2 bright lights and smaller ones beneath. It stood still for minutes and then shifted swiftly to its left. I then came inside and waited for hours and I looked out and it had moved farther to its left. It stood still and I saw the smaller lights beneath it blink. I have seen it for several nights and again Sunday night in the same area and when daylight comes it is gone. Witness is looking with binoculars in one of the photos. The moons of Jupiter appear as smaller lights beneth the planet when viewed at magnification. The only contraindication to this is the statement that it suddenly moved.

While at the Arkansas River in South broken arrow I was taking pictures noticed a triangular craft hovering in the sky I went to switch my tablet over to video and as I looked up it seemed to be a flash of light or like a mirror reflection and then completely disappeared without any movement or sound. I scan the skies around seeing no aircraft heard no aircraft at all...

Idaho Falls, ID
I work medevac and fly on a pilatus PC-12. We were en route from Salt Lake City UT to Idaho Falls ID. We started tracking a series of lights (3-4) to the North East of our position around the time we hit the Idaho/Utah border. One of the lights appeared to have a parallel flight trajectory to the east of us off our right wing. It was several miles out. We radioed in to the SLC ATC and inquired if there was any traffic in our vicinity. We were instructed that there was no traffic. No other aircraft responded on the radio about being in the area. There was nothing on radar or a transponder signal. Eventually the light disappeared, but reappeared at a higher altitude, and there was 3-4 lights moving at a speed not consistent with any aircraft that we would be familiar with moving in random but smooth patterns. We were at 20k feet. These lights would fade in and out and all have different vectors. Eventually they all met up, formed a triangle formation with 3 points of light (one on each corner) and one faint light in the middle and it moved up and vanished. We landed at Idaho Falls and still noticed 1-2 lights at a time coming down (possibly through the atmosphere) flying in random patterns at different points in the sky, then vanishing. This whole phenomenon lasted about 45 minutes. We are pretty used to seeing meteor showers at night since we fly a lot of night missions, but none of these lights had the characteristics of meteors based on movement. It was very awesome to see.
