Hemet, CA
On September 15th, 2018, at approximately 8:00 PM, I was in the parking lot of Derby's Bar & Grill in Hemet, California, facing the street when I saw an inverted triangle-shaped craft. The craft was black with four small white lights on each corner and one larger white light in the center. It appeared to have a faint purple "aura" around it. The craft was moving from left to right and was completely silent. It was maybe several hundred feet in front of me, and less than a hundred feet from the ground. I observed it for about 10 to 15 seconds before it disappeared from my view. I did not see anyone else outside during the sighting, and I have not made any formal reports about the incident. * The attached image is a quick rendition I made in 2019. The craft was slightly larger than I drew it, pretty much filling the gap between the trees where the drawing appears, and equilateral.

The only buildings that would be in the range of a small drone were the school, the fire department, an auto repair shop and a few houses. There didn't appear to be anyone walking around either. And, we couldn't hear any sound coming from these drones. When we started to get creeped out is when we counted 50 of these things. They were coming from all directions and just circling us. They remained stationary in the sky probably about 30 feet above our heads. We couldn't make out any details other than the lights. More drones continued coming seemingly at random over the next hour. That's when we finally decided to leave.

Ottertail, MN
It looked like a large reflective object - moving southwest over Lake Otttertail - me and my sister saw it moving pretty fast across the night sky after the moon had set, so it was very dark with lots of stars - we couldn't tell how close to us it was - no lights at all on the object but we think we could see the edges - it was all rounded - there were no sharp edges - because it was reflective - My sister and I were up visiting our parents for their ((deleted--50-60th)) anniversary at their lake house on Ottertail Lake in Minnesota.

Fairfield, CA
Hello! I recently experienced an extraterrestrial event that was not a UFO, but could have been "alien" activity. I was doing research on Malaysia Flight 370 and was piecing things together with a few friends (such as the fact "they are not human" was said in the blackbox recording and the plane had simply disappeared). I was extremely tired so I had decided to put my computer down and to go to sleep. I fell asleep and the next morning I woke up and saw a triangle mark on my right thigh. I sent an image to my friend, she saw it immediately in the photo replying "what ((two words deleted)) is that, you probably got abducted." That hadn't even crossed my mind. Then I was thinking about the research me and my friends had done the night before involving the sentence "they are not human". This seemed very stupid to me and I was thinking I had just overthought the situation. A few nights later, I felt a pinch on my rib, and immediately passed out (it happened fast and I had no intention of falling asleep, but woke up the next morning). The area on my rib that felt pinched the night before felt extremely bruised. I looked at it to notice that it was a triangle mark, and hurt extremely worse than the one on my thigh. I do not have a picture of this one. Long story short, I woke up with triangle marks on my body, TWICE. My orange tabby also kept biting at the marks, which he never bites me. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Lors d'un week-end avec sa famille, entre 17h20 et 17h50, le témoin observe un objet étrange dans le ciel. Il voit « un triangle noir équilatéral traverser lentement le ciel silencieusement en tournant sur lui‐même ». Cet "appareil" lui semble plus grand qu’un avion de ligne, ses cotés reflètent la lumière du soleil et semble l’intensifier et il fait des petits flashs par-dessous mais c’est peut-être simplement le reflet. Au début, le témoin pense à un satellite en perdition, mais l’observation dure trop longtemps. L’objet traverse lentement le ciel en perdant un peu d’altitude au bout de vingt minutes, il reprend lentement de la hauteur en changeant légèrement de direction, à la fin ce n’est plus qu’une étoile scintillant en plein jour. Un seul témoignage sera recueilli. La consistance* est bonne avec un témoignage complété d’une vidéo qui a pu être exploitée. *selon les critères du GEIPAN, la consistance est la quantité d’informations considérées comme fiables et objectivées, recueillies pour un témoignage. Le témoin a probablement observé un ballon fantaisie (ballon festif gonflé à l’hélium), porté par le faible vent local. Notre analyse (voir le compte rendu d'enquête) s’appuie sur les éléments suivants : - La forme et la couleur du PAN sont conformes à ce qu’il est possible de trouver en matière de ballon fantaisie. - Le déplacement du PAN s’effectue dans le sens du vent dominant ; sa forme en « triangle » contribue à ce que le vent le fasse tourner sur lui-même comme rapporté et visible sur la vidéo. - Sa vitesse, faible, semble également compatible de celle du vent. L’étrangeté perçue par le témoin est créée par l’incompréhension du phénomène, la non identification de l’objet observé. « C’est quoi ce machin » dit le témoin dans la vidéo. Le silence, le mouvement (« tournant sur lui‐même ») et une évaluation disproportionnée de la taille (« cet appareil devait être plus grand qu’un avion de ligne ») contribuent également à l’incompréhension. Après analyse, l’étrangeté du cas est assez faible. L’ensemble des caractéristiques physiques et dynamiques du PAN sont conformes à l’hypothèse étudiée. Le GEIPAN classe ce cas en « A », observation très probable d’un ballon fantaisie porté par le vent. [GEIPAN classification A — Ballon]

California Gully, VICTORIA · Australia
It was in the middle of the day, I was sitting on an oval with my friend and I look up and see a giant metal triangle hovering without moving a bit away from us, not to far away, maybe half an oval away. It looked like it was solid metal and after a few seconds of hovering in the same spot it zoomed away very fast over the tree line. It was a nice sunny day without any wind. It definitely wasn't a drone or a weather balloon. The metal didn't look bendable and looked like a solid triangle just in the sky.

California Gully, VICTORIA · Australia
(This is my second report of it because I have more information) It was in the middle of the day around 12, and me and a friend were sitting on an oval and I look up and see a giant metal pyramid just floating without moving up in the sky, it was pretty close to us. It was maybe around 8 feet on all sides. It looked like solid metal without any lines, dints or scratches and looked unbendable (it was silver, not quite reflective for it being metal looking and nothing on it just metal). Definitely not a drone or a weather balloon. The sky wasn't windy. It stayed in the same spot unmoving for around 30 seconds, then darted away very fast behind the treeline. Me and my friend were surprised and we talked about it afterwards, and then after a few days I brought it back up and she had totally forgotten about it like it never happened, although I know it did.

I had my 10x50 binoculars with me and was able to view the object with them. Once I was looking at the object with the binoculars, the object faded from view. I estimate it was in sight for 10-15 seconds, yet this may not be accurate.

Muskogee, OK
On the morning of 9/2/18, at approximately 6:47 a.m., I went out on my balcony for a smoke. As always, my eyes were to the sky looking for satellites or meteors. My balcony faces pretty much due north, and I noticed what I thought was an aircraft moving from the southwest to the northeast. As my eyes focused, I saw that it was triangular (or 3 white lights in a triangular shape), and none of the lights were flashing. It did not seem to be moving any faster than a regular commercial airliner would. I have large trees in my neighborhood and it appeared just above them on the horizon. For scale I would say it was about the size of my little fingernail held at arms length. I'm not good at judging distance, but If I had to guess, it would have been southeast of Tulsa. If you drew a line from OKC to Tulsa, this seemed to be the path it was on. There was nothing extraordinary about its speed or movement. I just thought the triangular shape and non-flashing lights were odd and I would report it in case anyone else saw it.

I stepped out onto my balcony and saw an unusual looking star-like object hovering at approximately 5000 ft and approximately two miles to the south of my location

Was outside with my dog and heard like a lawn mower (not airplane/not helicopter) sound coming from North of my house. Looking around both my dog and I until bright white & green disco flashing lights were all on the ground around me and over me it flew directly above my house headed south and disappeared into the sky.

The power just went out for about 1min. Then came back on. I went out side to investigate and instantly noticed a flashing in the sky. It was a couple flashes then spread out to 3 flashing lights into a triangle. Then flashed a couple times then spun in a full circle. Then they came to a small faint triangle flashing then repeated that pattern over and over. A few times when it spun in a circle it went in opposite direction and had 5 lights. The event happened in the NW direction.

We were driving on highway 152, coming from San Fransico heading home to Porterville around 10:50 pm. I was the passenger and my hubbybtge driver when he spotted 3 lights pretty low I thought they were drones or kids plying with some type of flying planes, the lights were not big they had to be the size of a cantaloupe each and 10 feet in the air, then all of a sudden the lights disappear and my husband who is driving can no longer see but me as the passenger can turn and since there was a full moon I can see the shape of a triangleular plane but no lights are on and no sound and it starts moving and as we continue to be driving I can see it moving in the back and then it flies always at a low height and it’s gone. I can’t believe i even looked up this site I don’t know what I saw last night I just know that it’s something I never thought i could see and I’m in amazement.

I was walking towards the entrance of the park. I was just snapping away photos. It was still light out but getting darker. I took a total of 12 photos. I posted to my facebook page. One of my friends commented on one of the photos what is that. I reviewed all twelve photos and found to odd things on two separate photos. One had a triangle partially obscured but definitely three sided flying overhead away from me on the opposite side of the riverfront. In another photo maybe taken seconds after that a bright white light flying above on my side of the riverfront over the bridge. In other words both objects converging but on opposite sides of the river. I listed myself as the only witness because I was the only one who witnessed this. No one else looked up. I didn't witness it I only found out after what my friend had mentioned. Both made no sound whatsoever. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous, and provides no contact information.

Eastford, CT
I saw a massive, dark (black or dark gray), object passing high over the treeline and below the clouds. It was the shape of an isosceles triangle, much wider in the rear, and the 2 rear corners had intermittently flashing lights. I am unsure of the color of the lights or if they were even colored. The object was huge and moving south. There was no sound at first and then I heard helicopter type of sounds but none were visible.

Saw something in the distance. Stared at it for about a minute and it began coming closer. It was triangle shaped and it started to follow me and lower in closer to the direction i was walking. I turned around and called someone close by to pick me up. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I witnessed 4 orange lights moving west. 3 in an inverted triangular pattern with another one following a short distance behind. After approximately 1 minute the pattern of 3 vanished while the single light continued on the same course for another minute before doing the same.
