I know you just want to have my recent "sighting" but I have to first get a few things off my chest so I no longer have to be the only one who knows what I think I have experienced. When I was a child between the age of 8 and 12 I had numerous odd experiences. I would on a regular basis have very vivid and frightening dreams of aliens. I had a very basic and happy childhood and was not allowed to watch anything that would have remotely inspired nightmares but I constantly had dreams of aliens. So much in fact I would fear the impending time each night that my parents would issue the bedtime order, knowing I had a very good chance of a dream. One dream I had in particular over and over again was me walking in my back yard until I realized I was walking on the body of a red alien type creature. I could always see the heart beating beneath me. When I would wake I found myself feeling as if there was a figure in my room. Out of pure terror I could not move, I could not scream. I honestly believed there was always someone there with me. I specifically remember always then feeling as if the presence left my room and I always was convinced I could see a light outside my window that was alot brighter than anything I would have expected in a tiny town in the middle of northern Minnesota. Anyways, I just needed to share that portion of what I used to experience but now I will bore you no longer and get to the sighting recently. I was up in the lake of the woods, minnesota side camping with my 3 friends and our girlfriends. All was as expected until the second night. My friends and I decided to take a hike around 10:30 after all our girlfriends went to bed. It was dark of course but that was part of the fun. We walked for a good hour until we all at once took notice of some bright lights. At first we thought it was some one else camping even though we hadn't seen anyone or maybe a patrol but again there wasn't much to patrol in the area we where in. So, I'm sharing this here because my friends refuse to talk about this and I have to share it with someone. They claim we must have been drunk, there is no way we saw what we saw.... but the fact is we all saw it and all talked about it immediately after. There was a bright flashing light and then all of a sudden a more subtle yet distinct set of lights moving in some type of organization. Did not seem random but rather planned. The lights moved very qui! ckly and then would stop and rest in some odd patterns. Then they would move again just the same. This all lasted several minutes and was incredible and terrifying just the same. Terrifying because we could not explain it. I took out my phone and got a 20 second video of the lights when they moved and stopped in that odd pattern. I dont know what happened, I cant explain it but it has been weighing on me for the past two months and I have done a ton of research for an explanation to the point of obsession. The worst part about this whole thing was my video is time stamped 11:48 p.m. Our experience ended shortly after. We freaked out for a minute and then walked back to camp. Maybe, it could have taken us 40 minutes to get back because we where koving quickly but when we got back all our girlfriends where up worried about usn they began to yell at us because we dissapeared for so long. We said it wasn't that big of a deal its only got to be 12:30 or so. My buddies girlfriend said it is actually after 3 a.m. . I do not understand that. How where we gone that long? Thank you for your time. I just needed to share this with someone and it feels better already, other than the dreams I used to have happening again. I'm sure that is just me thinking about the past though.

Durham, NC
Two sets of lights, each in isosceles triangular formation flew very slowly over a gas station in Durham, NC. This was across the street from Planet Fitness on MLK. I was just across the street. I wondered if it was a medium sized airplane with all lights turned off and the wings lit up, but that makes no sense. The lights were not normal airplane lights in any way. Also the lights moved very slowly and were only about 50 feet above the gas station. After about 45 seconds the lights disappeared behind some trees. I do not believe in UFOs but don’t know how to explain this.

Truck driver driving westbound on I 70 to the south witnessed a triangle shaped craft hovering in the air over a field to the south of I 70 in Lewisburg Ohio at first glance the truck driver assumed this was an airplane but once the truck driver that even with the craft he noticed that it was hovering and triangle shaped with roughly 9 Nine the lights in a triangle shape and one main center light in the middle of the craft. Also the driver must note that the craft emitted no sound on my stationary in the air.

White lights in a triangular pattern, it moved slowly but in sync. When I pointed to it to alert my son I could no longer see it. It didn’t fly off that I could tell, it was as if I had lost track of it. It just vanished. I know my son saw it too because he mentioned it looked like a V. It did appear hazy between the lights like it was cloaked. I don’t believe there was any sound involved at all. It was a clear night sky, I could see the stars well.

Was pulling out of Salem Bros. store on S. Crater Rd, Petersburg, Va, at 5:30 a.m. on 10/04/19 spotted a triangle shaped object in the sky. The UFO hovered in one place for about 5 minutes. On the side of S. Crater Rd. there were 6-8 deer standing at the side of the road.

Male, age 64, just witnessed a fast-moving triangular structure moving in the southeast direction above Livingston Parish, Louisiana. It appeared to be a grouping of dim white lights (10-20 lights) shaped in a triangular wing shape. Movement was very smooth, no erratic or sudden changes in movement, speed or direction. Could hear a muffled sound as it passed. The object crossed my vision for 4-5 seconds.

On a clear evening, Big Dipper was very clear, my Dad and I were sitting around a campfire. He was sitting next to me and said “look” in a surprised and alarmed voice. I was looking down but looked up and saw a very huge formation of triangles. At first it resembled a flock of geese but immediately new that was wrong. It resemble a flock of geese because of it’s ‘V’ formation and the distance between the triangles was similar to the distance between geese. The size was amazing. If I extend my arm and extend my hand it nearly took up my entire hand. There were 5 or 6 triangles on the left part of the ‘V’ and 5 or 6 on the other right hand part. Over to the right was another ‘V’ shape but further away or at a different angle. We only saw this object for 2-3 seconds. It was flying from east to west, almost directly over our heads.. Each triangle was the same shape and size. The size of each one is difficult to determine. I drive to Seattle Tacoma International airport frequently and when I see an airplane in the pattern I put my hand up in front of me to try to gauge the size in comparison. All the aircraft around Sea Tac appear to be small compared to these triangles. Both my Dad and I seemed to think the object was very high in the sky. My estimate is that each triangle was the size of 2-4 large aircraft nose to tail. Each triangle was perpendicular to the earth. The entire formation moved as one and traveled sideways. Each triangle appeared to be separate. There was nothing visible that connected them. There was no apparent indication of movement. There was no sound. It seemed to move with great speed. From the time we first spotted it to when it left our field of vision was 3 seconds top. We could see it getting smaller as it flew towards the Olympic Mountains. We think it flew out of our sight. If so the speed would be incredible. We regularly see jets flying towards the north end of the mountains on their way to Asia. We see these aircraft for more than a minute. Port Orchard is approximately 30 miles from Sea Tac. There were no lights we associate with aviation. The only light was a white-yellowish glow coming from each triangle. The glow was contained to the middle in a slight oval shape. Some of the light spilled over to reveal straight edges of the triangle. Each of the triangles had the same color and light amount.

Crestline, KS
I work as an airport firefighter. My shift starts at 2:00am. Since, I make this drive in the dark everyday, I'm very familiar with the normal towers, FAA obstruction beacons and such. On my drive in, near the small town of Crestline, KS. I looked North and noticed three very bright white lights in a perfect triangle pattern. They appeared to be hovering in place, possibly as low as 100-200 feet off the ground, but at night it's hard to judge that. Confused, as I knew there wasn't anything in that area cell-tower wise, my first thought was a possible military helicopter formation with their forward facing landing lights on. Again, since I work in aviation on the graveyard shift, I'm used to seeing aircraft lighting. However, these lights didn't have any of the other mandated FAA aircraft lighting. For example, there were no red beacons, no green and red directional lighting, none of it. Just three, perfectly still, perfectly symmetrical bright white! lights. Over the next 15-30 seconds, I had to keep looking back at the road since I was driving 65mph. Each time I looked away, one of the lights would disappear. First there was three, then I looked back and there were only two, then one. Until they were all gone. Still confused as to what I had seen I was simply looking in the general direction of the now dark space the lights previously occupied, and suddenly I saw a bright blue flash, followed by something streaking to the west as fast as I've ever seen anything move in my life. It disappeared over the horizon in just a few seances. That is when I realized it wasn't military helicopters.... I don't know what it was, but it was the strangest thing I've ever seen. I have not photographs or video as it all happened very quickly and I was driving.

Was outside heard jet engines overhead sound a bit strange, look up and there was to f-16s flying side by side more like in a slower speed making more of a hurling sound. Between the two F-16 was a triangle type aircraft,It seemed as if it was being escorted. The Craft was triangle shape with round shape edges and dark metallic color their Direction was Northwest then turned more so North

It was very easy to make out the shape of the craft due to the backdrop of the sky being many shades lighter, almost a dim blueish black color, than the craft. It was amazing how slow and low this thing was flying. I thought for sure it must be a plane or drone of some sort but looked around in the sky and could actually see other planes flying around much further away and looked nothing like this craft in comparison. The triangle was not very large, maybe 10-12ft wide, about the size of a king size matress or medium sized vehicle. It was moving very slowly and gracefully, almost making small S turns but at a very slow rate of speed, maybe 3 to 8 MPH. The triangle was flying very low, only about 20-40ft off the ground, I could tell that was the altitude because it was just slightly above the light poles and building that werent much lower than it was which were only about 100 yards away from where I saw it. As it flew slowly from Sount to North towards McClellan, one of the 3 lights slowly went out and stayed off for about 1.5 second and then started to come back on as another light started to extinguishing. The triangle craft continued its S turns and lights alternating until it flew back behind the building that I first orginally noticed it heading north towards. Keep in mind all this happened in a matter of 15 seconds or so, I have never seen anything odd like this in my life so the details of the peculiar nature of this craft made quite an impact on me. It's too bad I was so fixated on the craft and what it was doing that I didnt think to take a picture since this was so close and vivid in the sky, there is no way it wouldnt have shown in fairly good detail, especially with how good low light cell phone cameras have gotten. Anyway, just thought I would share what I saw. I suppose it could of been a drone of some sort but if it was, its unlike any drone iv ever seen before or anything that I could even find after doing a little research. I dont even think a drone would be able to fly as slow and as smooth as this craft was flying. There was no jerky movement or momentum, no changes in speed or trajectory. It was like it was able to effortlessly flutter through the air as if gravity wasnt there. Regardless, it was definitely a UFO, alien or otherwise.

2 Triangular shaped craft moving overhead separated and moving at a slow rate of speed with no audible noise. They moved together pretty much at the same rate of speed and pattern. The nuderneather of both craft we’re covered with lights lit up like a “Christmas tree.” They did not blink. I watch them until they disappeared in the distance. I have never seen anything like this in my life.

I heard a wispy noise outside at 5a.m. when I stepped outside there were four lights in a tight rectangle overhead. As the lights continued the turned into a square then as it got further away a straight line of lights. Craft was about the size of a commercial jet while in the square or rectangular formation. But twice as wide in linear formation. The sound was what a jumbo jet would sound like if it had its engines of a gliding. Like whispering loud wind sound. Approximately no more than two thousand feet high.

I’m a delivery driver . I was on a delivery when I got in my car I noticed a set of lights that were similar to airplane lights . I noticed whatever it was was at a really low altitude . I continued to drive and I got to a stretch of road where there isn’t much light and I noticed this “plane” was triangular shaped because the dark part was so dark it contrasted against the dark sky. It had lights on all sides and they were slowly pulsating on and off . It wasn’t making sound and it was slowly cruising at the same low altitude. It was also kind of making circles and turns at the same low altitude in a swift smooth manner . Nothing Ive ever seen before . I followed it for about 2 minutes and it then begin to pick up speed and I lost it after that.

Multiple low flying objects, seemingly in a straight path across the sky. Red and white flashing lights. These objects would appear from the treeline and cross the whole sky, silently, and disappear until the next one comes across the sky. My dad has said hes been seeing these for months, tonight was the first time I took the time to see for myself. Indeed what he says he sees, I saw too. Too low to be planes, no noise followed. Lights flicker, seems to be white on either side and red in the middle. I got video, but cell phone quality isn't that great.

My wife called me on the cell phone about 19:00. She was in Santa Rosa. I was about 5-6 miles S of her. She said there was a light in the sky and wondered if I saw it. As I was talking with her I went outside and observed the light she was referenced. The sun was below a nearby Mesa but the object appeared to be reflecting the sun. I took a picture but I estimate the object was 10-15 miles N, maybe NW from my position, It only appeared as a small dot! The objects movement didn’t seem to be any faster than the wind and eventually just faded with the sky getting darker. I did use a small pair of binoculars at one point and it seemed to be of triangular shape.

I was driving on the highway on a road trip and just before sunset I noticed a bright triangle shaped object in the sky. It had sharply defined borders and appeared to be made of metal because once the sun started setting the light was reflecting off of it making it appear to change color. I had an uneasy feeling and my gps started malfunctioning. I took two videos in the area (one of the craft) ten minutes apart yet the location stamps marked them as being almost two hours away from each other. I would have pulled over to take a clearer video but I had a very unsettling feeling that I shouldn't do so as there was hardly anyone around. I did see a truck pulled over on the side of the road with a man who was staring at it. craft didn't appear to be moving, but it was clear that it was, just very slowly. I was able to keep it in sight for 45 minutes to an hour before the sun went down and I couldn't see it anymore. I had my cat in the car and she was freak! ing out and meowing loudly for about half an hour as we drove under it. I had a feeling of being watched and the rest of the drive took me much longer than it should have. Very confused about that part as it seems I lost a couple of hours. I was experiencing a lot of neck pain afterwards and when I finally got to a motel to sleep for the night (around midnight) I woke up a couple of hours later with excruciating neck pain. No dreams either which was strange for me but then again I didn't sleep that long. Turns out I sprained my neck somehow.

My friend and I were sitting in the parking lot of a church from around 4:30am to after it happened. We were stargazing when around 5:20am we noticed what at first we thought was a plane flying very very slowly towards us. It was three lights in a line, the one in the middle was bigger and white but the ones on the side were flashing between red and blue. As it got closer it shifted and was in a triangle with the big light at the front. It flew very low and made no sound. It could not have been a plane or a drone as they make a lot of noise (from experience). As it passed over our heads we both got chills and a feeling of dread and fear. We were scared and left immediately after that. When we got back home I saw a figure in the woods that was not human and had like a blue outline of the form.

Late Friday night/ Saturday morning I was outside on my porch with two neighbors. The two neighbors were underneath the porch and I was standing outside of the porch observing a particularly clear sky, the Pleiades, and the Milky Way. I was facing south when a small triangular shape appeared overhead traveling northward from behind me heading southward in the direction I was looking and into my line of view. I yelled to the others to come and see this object. One neighbor came out from under the porch just in time to see it go over the house and disappear out of the line of sight. It was moving steady and seemed no higher than 60-100 feet at most. It was completely silent and the flattened tips of the triangle had a faint glow. It was also traveling not point forward rather with points to the side and back direction. We discussed that we did not know what we had just see as my neighbor went back under the porch. I kept looking in direction shocked at the sig! hting. Just then a large glowing object like a shooting star came directly from where the object disappeared to and shot off heading east. I was the only one that saw the shooting star.

Driving on the highway 5 going north, there was 3 white bright lights shaped liked disks coming in a straight line, it looked like it was coming straight to our car on the highway it was very close (less than half a mile away from us). As it got closer it went up and changed shape to a triangle and changed it's path to go right. It flew away so fast and changed shapes again.

Livermore Falls, ME
I’m an equipment operator at a power plant working night shift. It was a beautiful, crystal clear night, and I could see almost every star in the sky! While moving material in my bulldozer, a peculiar moving light caught my attention in my peripherals. So I turned my dozer around to get check out what I saw. To the south-west approx. 30-50ft in the air I see a spherical orangish orb, about the size of a basketball frantically darting around. I was a little alarmed and couldn’t figure out what it could be, and to get a better vantage point of the object I, drove my dozer up on top of the pile of material (approximately 55 feet high). It took me about 20 seconds to drive up there, and by then the orb was still visible, but a little further out and at this point I was having difficulty seeing it thru distant trees. I shut off my dozer and turned off the lights, and began to examine the area. At this point my supervisor, a very intelligent and rational degreed Engineer, drove around the pile. I presumed he had circled around the pile and continued back to the power plant, making a routine round. While panning the skyline from the top of the pile, I spot something peculiar at a low altitude, in the eastern sky. It was a prominent equilateral triangular craft with lights at each point, flashing sometimes in unison and at some moments, different times. The lights flashed blue at times, as well as red and brilliant white. The craft was just hovering there, completely silent. Occasionally it would dramatically dart in different directions, hovering at each pause. It was mind bending. I was about to call my supervisor over the radio, to tell him what I’m seeing, but decided against it, not wanting to be ridiculed and joked about for being “crazy”, or being told to put on my ‘tin foil benie’. The craft began to very slowly hover towards my location. I scrambled for my cellphone in hopes of capturing a video. At this point, I thought my supervisor had continued up to the plant when he had made his round about 5 minutes prior, but unbeknownst to me he had seen the same curious triangle as I, and had stopped to film it, and at this moment he was calling me over the radio, to ask if I was seeing this bizzare, anomalous triangular craft! I was perplexed and relieved that he was witnessing this as well!! I exclaimed that I was watching it too, and that I took a video, he replied that he was capturing a video as well and was baffled at this bizzare sighting. The craft began slowly heading west, in my direction, so I jumped back in my bulldozer, called my supervisor and told him I would meet him at the bottom of the pile to discuss what we were seeing. I quickly made it to the bottom of the pile, shutting my dozer back off, and told my supervisor that I had a pair of high quality 10x42 birders in my truck, and I told him to keep his eye on the craft while I go and get them. I sprinted about 100 yards to whe! re my tr uck was parked, grabbed my binoculars and sprinted back. He pointed to where the craft was, it was quite a ways out but we could still see it on the horizon where it appeared to vere at a sudden 90° angle to the south (as if it was going to circle around back towards our direction), I quickly pulled up my binos, panning to see the craft & as soon as I got it in my view there was a bright flash of light & the craft was gone! Faster than a snap of my fingers! My jaw dropped, & we both quickly looked at each other and said, “Did you see that!?!” We were perplexed frantically wondering what the hell this thing was & where it just went!?!? We stood there gazing every inch of the sky, looking for it, sharing our videos with each other and pondering as to what we just saw.. to the south of our location about 5 miles away, there’s a small private dirt air strip that hosts a couple of fly over events each summer. The small air field has a only a couple tiny hangers and can only accommodate small, single passenger personal biplanes. We are use to seeing the small planes in the area, and can easily hear them as well as high flying commercial jets, even over the noise of the equipment, so we were flabbergasted that in the silent of the night, with our equipment turned off, the triangular craft, flying probably less than a thousand feet in the air was completely. It didn’t make a sound at all, it was very eerie, causing the hair on my neck to stand on end. It’s also worth noting that high flying, commercial jets are an often occurrence, and we occasionally see the biplanes in the area, our facility is a Federally Regu! lated facility, so the low flying airspace around the one or two mile footprint of the plant is strictly governed, & the only aircraft that we see directly over head (w/ exception too high commercial jets at 25,000-30,000 ft) is the helicopter belonging to the power utility may fly over to do a line inspection. Other than that we never have air traffic above us.. So, that was another alarming factor of this sighting. After a few more minutes of talking with the supervisor we parted ways and went back to work. About 30-45 minutes later, 2 large (very loud) dark colored military style helicopters flew over the plant on the exact trajectory as the triangular object did just shortly before! And the next morning on shift turnover, an employee from another crew, who lives nearby, unprompted, asked me if i was able to hear or see the big military choppers from the pile last night, it was strange considering the nearest [active] military base is a couple hours away, and we rarely see training exercises in our area. A very bizzare one of a kind sighting, an anomaly I won’t forget !

I was watching for satellites when I saw 3 in a triangle formation. Moving in the fashion of a satellite with no blinking light and in high orbit. All moving at the same speed but in a triangle formation. Whatever it was it was not a solid formation we could see stars between the formation. It did not block out light from other stars. it could have been satellites all in Orbit together flying in a v but I highly doubt that.
