I also have seen a triangular flying object that I could not identify back in 1983. It was in my hometown in Massachusetts in the back yard of a friend’s house at approximately 10:00pm on Thursday, August 11th. The sky was clear but not pitch black. The moon was about 1/4 full and the stars were very bright.
My friend saw it as well but refuses to speak of it to this day. The object was roughly triangular and very black except for 3 lights...in a row from front to back...all 3 of them were red. It appeared mostly as a dark area that was moving and blocking out the stars as it moved over us.
This object was very large. Based on the aspect of its silhouette to the surrounding trees, I estimated its size at about 300 feet long on a side. It was was only 50 to 100 feet above the house’s rooftop. It seemed to move slowly from East to West and made no noise that I could discern. We were in a rural area where there was no traffic noise. What was odd was that there was no noise....and I mean NO noise from any source...crickets or otherwise.
The whole sighting lasted about 60 seconds as the object moved along over a wooded area where we were unable to follow it. It looked to be moving slowly but was moving faster than a running man on the ground....my guess was about 15 mph.
I suspected something of a military nature except for the apparently noiseless propulsion system it used. I’ll never forget it. It was a striking looking vehicle.

Wow — thanks for the story. I wonder if these things could be something like high-tech, manueverable blimps?

That seems to be a common pattern in rural areas - EVEYTHING shuts up and hunkers down.

CNN News 1997-Phoenix, Arizona Phoenix, Arizona, 1997. One of the most publicized UFO events in history was accompanied with many photographs of a giant UFO. First observed in a hexagram pattern at about 7:30 PM over the Superstition Mountains area east of Phoenix, the characteristic 8+1 formation of amber orbs was next seen in two separate arc patterns with "trailing lights" over the Gila River area at about 9:50 and again at 10:00 at the southern edge of Phoenix, where they were seen by thousands and videotaped by a handful who had camcorders close enough at hand to catch the fleeting minutes of their displays. Many other photographs and video film have been taken over the city of Phoenix.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Now folks with merely ignorant derisiveness will forever be the clueless folks to you they deserve to be.
