Digital photo of possible flying triangle over Marfa, Tx 10-28-2003 In 2003 I was in Marfa TX and took several digital photographs of the amazing sunset. Yesterday, while reviewing these photos on a much larger computer screen, I noted what I had missed initially, i.e.
, among the clouds the appearance of a triangle of evenly spaced, round circles which, because of their regularity in spacing and shape could be judged to be non-clouds. This"formation" of circles is adjacent to two very bright cloud formations which seem much brighter than the surrounding clouds. I note that there are no other reports of sightings from this area during this period, so I am reluctant to conclude that they are actually a "flying triangle," but it is hard to dismiss this possibility when looking at the photo.
Full Report Text:
Object flying in a sloppy figure pattern changing colors is what I saw. Object was flying in figure 8 pattern. It was changing colors red, green, orange colors.
It was about maybe 1000 ft in the sky. I was directly under it when it was flying, it was a sloppy figure pattern. I was the only one on the road driving a 18 wheeler.
I was driving eastbound on US 90 ,could see something that looked like a star didn't pay to much attention to it. When I got closer could see it was moving in a figure 8 pattern changing different colors. Then I was directly under it no was on the road used the restroom on the side of the road looked at for about 5 minutes while it did the figure 8 pattern.
Didn't want it to come down jumped in my truck and drove away. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).
