Probable conventionalOlonne-Sur-Mer, Pays de la Loire · France
Le dimanche 17 mai 2020 un témoin observe, à 1h du matin et pendant 10 secondes, un objet d'apparence très singulière, de forme triangulaire, volant à vitesse constante face parallèle au sol et possédant 3 points lumineux blancs à chacun de ses angles. Sa couleur semblait se confondre ou déformer légèrement l'apparence du ciel en arrière-plan. Un seul témoignage a été recueilli. Le témoin a très probablement vu 9 lanternes thaïlandaises. Le jour et la période sont des critères compatibles : nuit de samedi à dimanche au printemps sont typiques et propices à un lâcher de lanternes en plein air, dans le cadre de festivités locales ou privées (mariages, baptêmes…). De même, la forme ponctuelle de chaque lumière décrite par le témoin est totalement plausible, l’éloignement des lanternes empêchant de distinguer leur forme. De plus, la station météorologique de Château d'Olonne, située à 8km du lieu d'observation, fait état d'un vent de 8km/h du Nord vers le Sud au moment de l'observation. La vitesse, la direction du vent sont également compatibles avec un lâcher de lanternes. La luminosité des points est également compatible avec cette hypothèse. En effet, le témoin indique « de la luminosité d’une étoile moyenne dans le ciel », ce qui est tout à fait comparable à celle, apparente, de lanternes. La couleur blanche des points lumineux n'est pas la plus courante, mais on la retrouve fréquemment dans des cas avérés de lanternes. L'absence de bruit, le nombre de points lumineux sont également compatibles avec cette hypothèse. L'étrangeté perçue par le témoin réside dans la forme triangulaire observée. Lorsqu'un observateur voit un ensemble de points lumineux, il est fréquent qu'il interprète cet ensemble de points comme un objet unique délimité par ces points lumineux. Cette illusion, nommée « illusion de forme ou de contour », se produit sur des lumières indépendantes les unes des autres, typique d’un lâcher de lanternes. Elle peut aussi se produire avec un avion quand les ailes sont mal visibles : le témoin reconstitue alors un volume noir limité par les lumières visibles. En conséquence, le GEIPAN classe le cas en B : observation probable de lanternes thaïlandaises. [GEIPAN classification B — Lanterne thai]

Changchun (China) · China
Rough location: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Nanguan+District,+Changchun,+Jilin,+China/@43.864411,125.3574016,17.71z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x5e38464aa3601083:0x3590d87ce9d59cf6!8m2!3d43.863989!4d125.350173 Yitong River, Nanguan District, Changchun, Jilin in the northeast of China. Date: May 15, 2020 (approximate) Time: 18:30 (approximate) I was feeling quite good about myself for having finished the second draft of my novel, and decided to go out for my usual evening walk by Yitong River. I walked out of my housing near the KFC, made my way to Ziyou road, walked by the restaurants, and down the footpath which lead towards under the Ziyou road bridge, turned right, and walked under the bridge. Not long after I’d emerged from under the bridge and had just passed by the small amphitheatre where people were dancing, I heard a collective “Phwoar!” behind me. A sound of excited awe and curiosity. I spun around 180 degrees, and there I saw it, rotating silently, hovering not much higher than the tree tops. A large, black, windowless, triangle shaped object with blinking red lights on each corner. I wondered to myself “Is that a drone?” before it stopped rotating, and moved not quite straight up (slightly north-ish) at incredible speed, and then it was gone.

Montrose, CO
Clear, no moon, unlimited visibility, no street or house lights, very rural area. While outside I observed a black triangle craft slowly moving from southwest to northeast directly over my house. The craft made no sound, no engine sound, no contrails or exhaust observed. Estimated from 500 to 800 feet above me, about the size of a small house, moving very slowly. Craft had a series of white lights on sides and stern, which was a rounded concave shape. No reflections of any kind seen, the white lights were quite brilliant but didn't reflect off the craft itself or light up the ground. Craft appeared very smooth with no detail or markings seen. The black color is hard to describe, it was VERY black. Observed for about 5 minutes. I've seen military aircraft in similar shapes, and there is a small airport a few miles east of me. This was not a typical aircraft, there were no typical red green running lights, no strobe lights, and no engine sound. I am a retired ! police officer, trained to observe. This sighting has really disturbed me.

Wellborn, FL
I saw a light in the sky brighter than venus approaching my position from the south. The sky was clear, light breeze temp 74 degrees. The craft was moving very slowly to the north and passed directly overhead. I estimate its size as large and at about 20K feet. As it passed overhead I could make out the triangular shape. there were small lights at each point and a large bright light in the center. There was no sound and no contrail and no strobe light. Passing overhead it changed course to the east. Again no sound. I lost sight of it over Lake City. I checked flightaware for air traffic and nothing was within miles of my position. I had a strong flashlight with me (1500 luniins) And attempted to signal it there was no response. DAMN second time in three years.

Black River Falls, WI
A coworker and I were standing out back of hardees and witnessed a bright orange, triangular shaped craft weave through the sky being followed by a military jet. We witnessed this craft maneuver UNDER the military jet and then simply disappear. This craft was so oragnge, and so bright it almost looked like fire. Not to be confused with a fireball, it was NOT spherical, it was triangular.

Triangle craft flew by at a low altitude, gliding slowly, and was dimly lit up. It was flying towards the East.

Kingsford, MI
Was outside watching the sky with binos to see comets etc when the feeling like static electricity came over me. I was compelled to look upward above my head and clearly saw a triangular craft travel at high speed overhead me. The craft made no noise what so ever but it did make me feel drawn towards it. There were no lights to be seen as it moved from the SE to the NW in the sky at about 100 to 300 ft above me, instead it had something I could only describe as either active camo or a cloaking device that was active as it moved. This effect made it easy to see in the sky as it sped by even in the dark, allowing me to estimate the craft to be similar in size to a B-52 or some similar sized plane or jet but without any features we would recognize today. I wish I could say 100% that it looked like the so called TR3B but with how fast it was moving I could not get that clearest look at details that would lead me to believe one way or another but it was very similar to say the least. I am part of a very military back-grounded family, including my own time and tour of duty over seas so i am familiar with stealth aircraft in action as well as many other aircraft. I have even been inside of a B-52 so I remember how large it was, and this triangular craft was similar in scale for sure. I would love to know what it was I saw last night

Granby, CO
A friend and I were sitting outside on the deck for lunch. I looked up and saw three triangle craft flying in a tight formation through the clouds directly over us. We watched as they flew North and did a loop as a formation at a lower altitude below the clouds. They each looked similar to a B-2 bomber but not with the same points in the middle rear of the craft. They looked like just a flying wing and they were black with a little brown underneath. When they did the loop they turned to a shiny, white color in the sun and then back to black as they completed the loop. They stayed very close to each other but were moving around as they flew. Their flight characteristics were different than any jet I had ever seen flying before though still similar with a general forward direction. They seemed to be shaky and slightly erratic. After the loop they descended and broke formation slightly and then flew North until we could no longer see them. We never heard any je! t engine or other noises and they did not leave a contrail or exhaust. The whole sighting lasted less than two minutes.

El Paso, TX
On Monday 5/11/2020 at around 10 pm MST in El Paso, TX; my 3 family members and I observed a small triangular pattern of three white lights hovering very high in the sky over the west side of El Paso. Our home is on the east side of El Paso, very close to the El Paso International Airport. So, we were viewing the lights from east to west over the tops of the Mount Franklin mountain range. The three lights would flash / twinkle randomly and occasionally remain solid. The three lights did not separate from the triangular pattern and after about 30 minutes they completely disappeared.

Stratford, TX
Standing outside looked up and what looked to be a triangle shaped craft. Lights on the perimeter gave it its shape.. The moon was full slight over cast sky. Craft was moving slow at approximately 1500 feet. Got in my truck and was able to follow it as to how slow it was moving. This made absolutely no sound. my flight tracker app and no planes in the area.

Greensburg, PA
Around 3:30am, I was driving along Route 66 southbound just heading into Greensburg when I first caught glimpse of what I thought was a star, but this thing was super bright, even brighter than Venus, that it immediately caught my eye, so I knew it couldn't have been a planet. At that point, this thing had to have been about a mile and a half away, and the closer I got to it, it seemed to just hover in the same spot. I passed Shop 'n Save and this thing is now almost right overhead, and I could tell that it was a triangular formation of three lights, and it was literally floating across the sky at a snail's pace. I also noticed that one of the lights were pulsating on and off. I continued on towards Greensburg and lost sight of the object. Not sure what I had seen but it gave me a pretty weird feeling.

Midway, TN
At approximately mile marker 22, four triangular shaped UFOs flew across I-81 at midnight under the full moon with the moonlight reflecting off the clouds. They traveled from the west side to the east side & made a hard right hand turn as they descended below the tree line. Each craft had a large red light in the center and one white light on either side of the big red light. I saw them from my 18 wheeler as I was driving south on I-81. My dash camera was on & I’m going to check it for video.

South Williamsport, PA
This was a very bright orange wegde shaped triangle seen at night, flying silently. There were no flashes, like on an airplane, the entire craft was a glowing fire-colored orange. It didn't make any noise as it flew probably 1000 feet above the ground. We watched until the trees blocked our view. It flew in a steady, straight path.

Hamilton (Canada), ON · Canada
Around 22:00 hrs I went outside and looked North and was observing the Big Dipper. At that time I saw several orb like bright figures dancing in the sky above me. At this time I had observed 6 and all were headed South East. At this time I texted my 15 year old daughter to come outside. Upon her arrival we witnessed approximately 6 more of these orb like crafts. Although all headed South East some would quickly accelerate higher up in the sky only to almost bounce back to their original location. After about 20 minutes the activity died down. We decided that we should go back in the house but decided to take a few more minutes to observe. At 22:54 we suddenly observed an enormous boomerang shaped object slightly to the East of our location. I would guess that this object was approximately the width of a football field. This object was approximately 500 feet above us. This object was silent and did not have any lights. I am assuming that it was metallic in colour as it seemed to reflect the night sky. I immediately felt all of the hair on my body stand up. It moved very slowly Southbound. We observed this strange craft for 10 seconds before it vanished completely. At approximately 23:00 hrs we observed a helicopter in our area which was strange for so late at night.

Triangle shaped spotted by Frame Park. Disappeared from sight after getting almost underneath in car. Thought was a plane before realized there weren’t any lights on the front and the only outline was from the silhouette on the clouds. Blinking lights on each point of object.

Kearney, NE
I was out walking after dark on the drive in front of the country house. I felt euphoria and elation. When I looked to the horizon, 2 UFOs were flying away in an ESE direction. They were far away but large, flying in a straight line, so maybe they flew over my head but I didn’t see them until they had passed. They looked just like the UFOs in the Phoenix lights case. I took notes in my iPhone afterwards. Sometimes my phone would crash, but only when I was out walking after dark. I have hours of lost time where I don’t remember anything.

Tulsa, OK
On 4/28/20 at 8:27 pm I was taking pictures of the sky after a thunderstorm. I caught an airplane on approach to Tulsa International Airport. The craft appeared out of nowhere from a cloud bank. It made several abrupt movements. As the airplane got closer the craft rose to a different position and vanished in a blink of an eye.
