Triangle Shape
Triangular craft hovering over I-70 in OH
July, 24, 2004 - Lewisburg, Ohio, United States
The object was triangular in shape, but not a perfect triangel. The nose was more narrow, then it contoured out. There were two lights on the outer "wings" that blinked in sync about once per second. The front of the craft put off a decently bright glow, but was not a beam of light. View full report

Flying triangle over Vancouver, British Columbia
2004 - Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
I WITNESSED A Dark Triangle, with 3 soft RED lights at each of its points, which, (for whatever reason) would suddenly pulse brightly. It came up from behind the top of the apartment building across the alley and traveled over the course of the sighting left to right. This TRIANGLE was moving through the sky point up. There was no noise as I watched this Dark Triangle move slowly from the EAST to the WEST. If I had to describe its movements, I would say it was meandered, slowly with no seeming purpose.

'A triangular craft was moving across the sky above us at an altitude similar to airplanes in this part of the city (near Boeing field, not far from SeaTac Airport). It had a light at each of the points that was a dim orange and the lights seemed striped rather than solid. The craft was completely silent... We realized that [our dog] was trembling and then he became lethargic and lost his balance.' View full report

Triangle UFO in Ewing, Kentucky
April, 2002 - Ewing, Kentucky, United States
From the witness: "When we got to our home, at the end of our drive was a black triangle with 3 dimly lit lights. The triangle made no sound and was just barely clearing the trees. The triangle traveled very slowly so its ability to maintain altitude was not due to aerodynamics. The next day my son and I took these photographs and added in a black triangle graphic to show what we saw." View full report

Large black triangle craft with glowing red portholes in the Arizona desert
September, 2001 - Near Phoenix, Arizona, United States
"Saw a huge black triangle with glowing red port holes in the Arizona desert. It was moving slowly along a river where i was camping. It was blacker than night with 6 large glowing red port holes along the side that I could see. The red portholes glowed but did not emit light. They did not brighten up the area or any of the surroundings. The craft was just sort of "gliding" along. Like anti-gravity." View full report
