Long Craft Spotted Over North West Alabama

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.

Triangle UFO in Ewing, Kentucky

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
