Slow moving black triangle 1000 ft high directly overhead I had an up close and personal encounter with a UFO back in 1986 and pretty much kept it to myself over the years until the Pentagon confirmed those leaked videos were legit. It was then that I stopped feeling like a freak and started researching OFU/UAP. I wonder if you have much knowledge regarding the black triangles they call T3RB.
The photos and videos I have seen over the last few years look very similar to what I saw only they all have either only one white light at each point of the triangle or the same but with a red light in the center. The lights on the one I saw was much different and I have never heard anyone else describe the same configuration as what I saw. The one I saw approached me coming off of Long Island Sound in Fairfield, CT and from a distance it looked like car headlights in the sky.
As it got closer, I could then see two more big white lights. They weren't beams of light, just bright white round lights. The two facing forward were on either side of the front point of the triangle about a third of the way back.
Then there was one facing down just behind the front point, and the fourth light was facing down at the rear of the triangle between the two points. It was no more that 1000 feet above me, moving extremely slowly and made a very sleight sound that sounded like maybe what a stoked wood burning stove would sound like. It was a very clear night and I could see the perfect black solid triangle and it looked to be about the size of a commercial airliner, not the size of a football field as often reported.
When it was directly above me and I finally processed that this was no aircraft of our making, as crazy as it sounds, the only thing that went through my mind was to hug the rear corner of my van and hope I wasn't seen and beamed up. After it passed over me, it flew about another 10 or 15 seconds then turned right and continued on it's way. When it turned, it didn't bank like a plane would, it kind of like rotated on it's axis and changed direction in such a smooth fashion.
People think I am crazy when I tell this story but I will swear it is true until the day I die. So my big question to you is have you ever heard of one of these triangles with the light configuration I described? I have never seen or heard anyone else describe a triangle sighting with the lights like I saw them. I am 1000% positive of the configuration.
I find it incredible for something like this to exist today let alone back in 1986. I would love to hear any feedback or questions you may have on this.

"Black Triangle" spotted in CT back in mid-eighties I was a teenager walking home from a convenience store job. I remember how clear the night was and no moon. Stars were bright that night so I was looking up at them.
I noticed first a green light, then the white light and red light in the shape of an enormous triangle slowly moving across the sky with no sound. Stars were completely blocked out of the sky within the traingle. Since it just looked like a shadow it's difficult to tell the altitude but it seemed very low.
There was nothing very unique about the lights, like any small plane, but the size of the triangle was astoundingly huge. Like standing under a wedge shaped umbrella. I never knew my experience was somewhat common until I read a news story today about "black triangles.
" These have been around a while. I'm glad I could finally validate what I saw back then, I never forgot it. I don't know what it was doing in New Haven but Sikorsky Helicopter is near here.

My brother and I were on top of our employer's building when i noticed a sphericle white light roughly 10 to 50 miles away. I thought it was a helicopter hovering in the dark sky. suddenly the sphere shot like a bullet straight toward us and over my head.
It was so fast that i thought it was a light turning off on an earth based aircraft, but i also believed that i saw a glimps of a trail straight over my head. then at that moment my brother said "wow! Did you see that?" I almost didnt believe my owne eyes until he said that. my response was "Oh my God.
you really saw that too?" this confirmed to the both of us that what we both could have passed off as some wierd hallucination was if fact very real. Since then we have seen television stories about space shuttle personel wittnessing similer "balls" of light.We had never seen these repoorts until the early 90's and our experience occured during the middle 80's.
I hope this information helps anybody with research toward finding more answers to all of the obvious questions about un earthly life. I understand that we cannot leave contact information such as "((e-address deleted)).com" so i am not using my "ENTER" key to submit this information as specified above.
I just used the "Submit Report" button at the bottom of the page. Thank you for reading this!.
