Taos, NM
At approximately 6:30 am on 3/13/18, I walked out to my front yard, after letting our dog outside, to close our gate that had been left open all night. After closing the gate, I noticed a flash of bright light up in the sky, out of the corner of my eye. I focused my attention to the area where I saw the light and saw it flash again. Even though the object was very high in the sky (much higher than a passenger jet flies) it was almost like a very bright spotlight shining down on me. It is probably the brightest light I have ever seen in the sky. After seeing it flash two or three times like that, on the third or fourth time it flashed it was three separate bright lights in the form of a triangle. On the next flash it was back to one light only. The object was generally moving from the west to the east and was moving much slower than any satellite that I have ever seen before. At the same time there were several military aircraft in the sky, which is not unusual for our area, but none of them seemed to be paying any attention to the object as it kept moving towards the East. I was an air traffic controller in the United States Navy and know about aircraft and what they look like and how they behave in the sky and have never seen anything like this before. The extremely bright light was flashing with the approximate interval of 15 to 20 seconds (way too long an interval for either commercial or military aircraft) and there were no green or red lights associated with it. If the light had been considerably dimmer and if it was moving faster, I would have known that it was a satellite, but I don’t think this was the case. I watched the object for about 10 minutes and lost sight of it.

At approximately 02:55, I was standing outside, with clear sky, when from the South West a triangular object entered my field of view, moving from the South West toward the North East rather quickly, making no sound.

Centreville, VA
On the night of 3/10/2018, my husband and I were on our back porch and regarding the stars. We were both looking up and commenting on how bright they were and looking for constellations we are familiar with. Suddenly, we both zeroed in on what appeared to be a triangle of lights with the bottom missing moving across the sky. There may have been about 7 or so lights per side, I did not count. The lights looked about the same color and size as medium-large stars. It moved north west at a relatively low altitude/speed and disappeared behind the trees. I could not make out any specific body of a craft, we could just see the lights. I have seen a lot of airplanes, I know what those look like. I could see those this evening as well! This 2/3 triangle could not be explained, and I have never in my life seen anything like it. It was not normal. Whatever it was, it was pretty remarkable to see and I am happy to have seen it. Little background - upper-middle class full time business professional working mother. I have all my marbles. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and found her to be exceptionally eloquent, and unusually objective in her description of the sighting event. We suspect that she is an excellent, and highly reliable, witness. PD

I estimate the sides of the craft to be about 250-300' long and probably about 20-40' high - it looked the size of a large box store up in the sky. The outside or "skin" looked to be absorbing the street lights off of Ford road as they reflected off the street and illuminate the bottom and edges of the craft but the light looked to be absorbed which provided a strange visual of the light moving along the "skin" kind of like when you heat up a piece of metal and at the part of the metal that is being directly heated being a darker color and then as you move away from the flame location the color changes - almost like a mirage or it was absorbing the light shining on it. The craft made zero noise or sound. As we cleared the sound retention wall on S 275 we expected to see this huge craft parallel to us but it simply vanished.

We saw a triangle shaped object with 3 lights on the points of the triangle. It was moving pretty fast and disappeared at about 1 minute and 30 seconds towards the Wal-Mart across Route 518 from my location. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Winchester, VA
there was a bright shining light, i looked out my window and saw around 20 triangle shaped objects in the sky. They had red lights on all three on the corners except for one craft witch had green lights. I went to take a photo and they didn't appear threw my camera lens. about 30 minutes in all you heard was a high pitch noise then a gigantic triangle with blue lights appeared then all the ships including the blue lighted one disappeared. then reappeared for a few seconds disappeared leaving a blue trail behind. I think the object might have landed. then took off and left. We are not convinced that this report is a serious-minded submission. Possible hoax, we suspect. PD

Break in the clouds gave way to a triangle craft spinning in formation like levitating freely. That is what made us know it was them. It made both me and my friends eyes start watering instantly. I yelled up to it, "We see you" And threw up a peace sign then it disappeared. Also to add, my friend's car battery had just died and i was trying to jump his car when this happened we both looked up same time.. Not sure if any time was missing as we were stunned. We attempted to contact via telephone the source of the report, but was unable to reach him. We question whether the report is since, but we can never know for certain. PD

State College, PA
During stargazing, we noticed a large, triangular shaped “transparency” moving across the sky--approximately southwest to northwest. It moved rather quickly for its size (about the time it would take to watch an airplane go across the sky). The size was that of about 15-20 airplanes (as seen from the ground) clustered into a triangle. The shape moved very steadily without zigzagging or changing speeds. The shape was very obvious and visible, yet the object looked essentially transparent. Truly the oddest thing I’ve ever seen.

Chicago, IL
Saw a triangle shaped lights in sky around 19:00 in the Avondale neighborhood in Chicago. Lights were no more than 3k to 4k agl. They were going in a northerly direction. They were not too bright an amber color. About a minute into seeing them they made a sharp turn west, seemed to go up and disappeared.

Villa Rica, GA
A buddy and I were on the way to Atlanta. When we got on I-20 coming from the Carrollton/Villa Rica exit, I immediately asked him what we’re these three lights sitting directly over the interstate and not seeming to move at all. The three lights moved slowly to the right side of the road and at this point we started trying to rule out any and all explanations. The lights then started moving over the interstate and we got a full visual of the shape. There was three bright white lights with small lights leading to the center. After we noticed the first three crafts we also noticed two more of the same crafts flying off into the distance. Although the three original crafts were still together they started to make formations. The first formation was a perfect triangle of the triangle ships over the Lee road exit. We lost sight because of the trees shortly after we got to around six flags. This formation of the same three crafts was in a perfectly straight line with two of the crafts heading towards Atlanta and one was heading back towards the the Lee Road exit. I thought about this until my head literally hurt and I’m still lost at to what we saw.

A low hovering triangular shaped craft with 3 non blinking lights. Craft was directly over a house not moving and it was low enough that we can see the outline of the craft!

Underwood, IN
On several occasions now I have observed multiple objects with three bright white lights in a triangular pattern. They are always in or around the same area of night sky which isn't to far away from where a major airports air trafic circles when waiting to land. I first thought it was possibly a helicopter because it seemed to hover in the same place briefly before moving on again as if on a Sunday drive. There's no audible sound which I can hear nor can I see any kind of chemtrail. All I know is that I've lived in this area all of my life and never have I or anyone else for that matter seen anything like it up until a few years ago??

1 year ago, I saw a triangle shaped craft up and close as it appeared motionless above a neighbor’s home almost appearing as if it was observing what was going on in the home at that time. I will write that repot in detail and post it soon. Let me just say the object I saw up and close WAS some type of triangular craft, it could for a lack of a better word camouflage itself, blending into the sky as if it was a small cluster of stars. It was very quick and stealth. It made no sound or had no exhaust or heat signature!! These crafts fly above t! he VA beach sky’s day and night. There are bright triangular crafts that the military use and hide in plain sight, they appear to be stars but are some type of craft that have extremely bright lights, I have seen them up close, and personal too, I believe they are some type of very Advanced MILITARY DRONE. Not much bigger than a vw bug but quick fast stealthy, they can move around. Just look in to the night sky for a triangular shape that appears to move just a bit. They are there every night and day.

Wenatchee, WA
Hello, At 6:45pm on February 23, 2018, I arrived at my home in Wenatchee, Wash., after having a music practice. I went into my backyard, as I always do, and I looked up into the sky, (I am a long time respected investigator/researcher, citizen scientist) There was a light storm approaching from the West, with light broken clouds . I immediately noticed 2 white balls of light moving perfectly together (when I held my hand up they were about the length of my hand from light to light), but then I saw there was a third light forming a triangle and this was coming from the East over Badger Mountain and flew over me going West into the storm, Then I noticed another one, 3 lights forming a massive triangle these were moving fairly slow but perfectly in unison with each other, then right next to it there was another one and behind it another one, there were about 5 to 6 giant triangles that I saw all moving together heading West over the twin peaks area, I ran inside and grabbed my camera and tried to get a picture of the formation but could only get 2 lights in the pictures I took, when I zoom in on the lights there seems to be more than one object and very strange forms . I look up into the sky every night and this is the first time I have seen these massive triangles over the Wenatchee area but I have also seen some very strange lights at out cabin on the summit of Badger Mountain and I saw a U.F.O. during the daylight while I was building our cabin and I reported it here .

Witnessed 3 red lights in triangle formation seemed to be one giant craft moving NE seemed massive from my vantage point, also slowly moving in front of object a more conventional plane maybe fighter jet, no noise? Two minutes later, several small objects planes or drones following behind triangle, all different flight paths, staggered in speeds almost felt it was an escort for the mysterious triangle ship, after 10 minutes out of view and no other planes for 30 mins, felt eerie, I have no other experience to compare this to.

Rochester, NY
On February 21st, 2018, at around 8:30pm-ish, my two friends and I witnessed a triangular shaped UFO near St. John Fisher College. The object was a large black triangle, with a bright light on each end of the object. The object also had grey lines on the bottom, which were visible as a result to the light. My friend pointed it out to us and thought it was a drone. The more we looked at the object, we realized that it was not a drone, it had to be something else. We were only able to look at the object for about 15 secs because it vanished out of no where.

So I grabbed my phone and went outside to take a look. Going out the back door, I thought it was very quiet. I should have heard it. I walked down the steps to behind my car, and as I looked up this huge craft flew directly over me. It had to be over 75 ft across with three white lights, one on each corner as it seemed triangular. Dwarfed our two story farmhouse and me along with it. It was so large, I remember taking a step back and a breath as it was right above the roof. It took 5 seconds to completely move over the house. No sound. I took several pictures as it left heading west. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Was taking my dog out in my backyard, and saw a large dark triangle crossing the sky. It was clear and starry, no clouds. The ship had no lights at all. Flew south to north and I lost its sight due to buildings other side of the road. The ship was totally silent.

Probable conventional[A19] De Beaune-La-Rolande, Centre · France
Le 15 février 2018, vers 21h30, un témoin circulant sur l'autoroute A19 entre Beaune-la-Rolande (45) et Chilleurs-aux-Bois (45) observe, sur sa droite, un PAN de forme triangulaire doté de deux lumières rouges. Initialement, le témoin pense qu'il s'agit d'un avion, mais il remarque que l'objet effectue un virage à droite en traversant l'autoroute devant lui, les lumières rouges devenant bleu ciel. Il signale également la présence de deux lumières blanches situées sous et à l'avant de l'appareil. L'objet effectue ensuite un second virage à droite pour longer l'autoroute. Le témoin tente sans succès de photographier le PAN et ouvre la fenêtre de son véhicule, sans percevoir de bruit provenant de l'objet. L'observation, d'une durée estimée entre 2 et 5 minutes, se termine lorsque le PAN disparaît dans un nuage. La consistance* du cas est moyenne, avec un témoin unique n'ayant pas réussi à prendre de photo du PAN. *selon les critères du GEIPAN, la consistance est la quantité d'informations considérées comme fiables et objectivées, recueillies pour un témoignage. Dans le cadre de cette enquête (voir le compte rendu d'enquête), nous avons examiné l'hypothèse selon laquelle le témoin aurait observé un avion militaire, hypothèse qui apparaît probable pour les raisons suivantes : - Présence à environ 30/40 km de la base aérienne 123 d'Orléans, vers laquelle le PAN est dirigé en fin d'observation. Cette base abrite des avions militaires de transport, comme par exemple le C-130 Hercules. - Les couleurs observées, rouge et blanc, correspondent aux feux réglementaires en vigueur en aéronautique. La teinte décrite comme « bleu ciel » par le témoin correspond en réalité à un blanc légèrement bleuté. L'absence de signalement du feu vert, généralement positionné sur l'aile droite, peut s'expliquer par les positions successives de l'appareil par rapport au témoin, limitant sa visibilité. Les conditions d'observation étaient particulièrement défavorables : il s'agissait de nuit, dans un véhicule circulant à environ 130 km/h, sous une pluie active avec les essuie-glaces en fonctionnement, tandis que le témoin restait concentré sur sa conduite, réalisant un dépassement au moment où le PAN traversait l'autoroute. Ces facteurs ont très probablement contribué à empêcher le témoin de reconnaître l'appareil, malgré ses déclarations réitérées évoquant un avion. En conséquence, la perception précise de la forme de l'appareil ainsi que des bruits moteurs n'a pas pu être assurée. Notons qu'un avion militaire le C-130 Hercules présente une configuration de feux de navigation proche des lumières décrites par le témoin (présence de lumières blanches et rouges), bien que nous ne puissions expliquer pourquoi le témoin évoque deux feux rouges alors que cet avion n'en possède qu'un. Le C-130 possède également des feux anticollisions blancs et rouges qui peuvent tout à fait être éteints par le pilote pour des nécessités d'exercices, ce qui pourrait expliquer que le témoin n'ait pas mentionné avoir vu de feux clignotants. Enfin, le comportement du PAN, qualifié par le témoin d'« inhabituel », contribue à la singularité de l'observation. Ce phénomène peut s'expliquer par la vitesse relativement faible de l'appareil ainsi que par les variations importantes de sa vitesse apparente, telles que perçues par le témoin, résultant à la fois des deux virages successifs effectués par l'avion et de la vitesse de déplacement du témoin. Le délai important entre l'observation et l'enquête n'a toutefois pas permis de confirmer formellement la présence d'un tel avion à l'endroit et au moment de l'observation. Le cas est classé en « B », observation probable d'un avion militaire. [GEIPAN classification B — Avion]

I was driving north on I-20 at about 8:30-9pm. When i noticed a large Triangular craft that seemed to make no noise while flying through the sky. Theres a naval base on Whidbey Island, so crafts are not unusual although it was flying much lower than anything I have seen before. There were two almost spot light looking lights coming off the bottom. I only saw it for about 2 minutes, and it didnt make any extremely strange maneuver while i watched it.

Trinidad (close to NM border), CO
My wife and I were traveling back from Trinidad, Colorado, back to Addison, Texas, where we live. We were within a few miles of the New Mexico border. It was very heavily snowing and we were driving in the mountains, so it was very dangerous. Well, off to the right, just barely above the tree tops was what I now realize to be a boomerang shape, except with points on the front of the aircraft and and points on the wingtips so not rounded like a boomerang. It was so so so huge. Its had the round like or dome shaped lights that were all on the bottom of the aircraft. There were 5 lights on the bottom. There was one light at the center or front and then a light on each wing in the middle and then a light on each wing at the end near the two wing tips. This plane was basically gliding just barely over the tree tops and it appeared to be looking for somebody. In Texas, we constantly have police helicopters shining lights down and looking for somebody, and I thought thi! s was some military plane doing the same thing. It was gliding so so slow though. Maybe 20 mph tops. I could see the color of the plane due to tue snow on the ground and the moonlight helping light everything up. It was either grey or silver in color. I pointed it out to my wife in a shock sort of panic mostly because it was ao huge and so close. My wife kept saying where and I kept pointing it out between the trees. I have no idea why but I am the only person of the two of us who was able to see it. Once we passed being directly across from it, I could no longer see it. I kept trying to see it in my rearview mirror and mirrors on my doors but I couldnt see it. It was too dangerous due to the snow and ice on the mountains for me to use my cell phone or even pull over at all due to the semis behind me that were honestly scaring me pretty bad. I relied on my wife and her cell phone and for whatever reason, she just couldn't see it. I kept asking her how she could not see it because it was probably the biggest aircraft id ever seen flying that low in my life, and we were in the middle of nowhere with the only lights beyond the ones from the plane in the woods being the lights traveling along this road in front of and behind me. I couldn't believe she couldn't see this too. I'm not sure if anybody is familiar with this road, but its the main interstate coming out of Trinidad and close to the New Mexico border and in the area that is in the mountains and has no street lights. I was paying attention to the surroundings on my way to Trinidad in this same area except in the day time unlike when I was driving home to Texas. It was the middle of the night, probably around 2:00 AM or so and very very dark. This area is the area that has a lot of very very old looking powerline poles that really make you wonder how the people who put them there, got them there because these poles were on the steepest of mountain sides but someone still got them there. Hopefully, sonebody knows or is familiar with where I am talking about. I spent the entire rest of my drive home googling military planes and the stealth bomber and tried to even figure out if there were new military planes that basically hover. I came up with no answers. It wasn't until a friend joked saying it was a probably a UFO, that I googled into triangle shaped UFOs which lead me to boomerang shaped UFOs and then once I googled boomerang UFOs, I found the exact shape and light location as the what id call UFO that I saw. The ones that I found online were all black colored and the one I saw was not so that was the only difference in the one that I saw because the one I saw was either grey or silver or just really light in color. They showed some boomerang UFOs online with 7 lights on the bottom. That was not the one I saw. The one I saw had only 5 lights on the bottom.
