Huge black triangle with 3-4 lights on the sides floating above my house. I was on getting out of my car when I had a feeling to look up in the sky, I looked up and noticed an object I have never seen before. It was a huge black triangle with 3-4 lights on the side of the craft.

It was moving very slow, I didn't take my eyes off of it but told my brother who was with me to get out of the car, as soon as I said that it started moving faster and disappeared. Like invisible , I could not follow it with my eyes anymore. I saw it for about 15 seconds, I should have recorded it butt I was astonished I was looking at a UFO.

It was the size of a house just floating there. There was no way it was any aircraft I have ever seen. I will attach a picture that I drew immediately after I saw it.

Military aircraft escorting glowing orb south of Kennewick Washington. My wife and I observed a military aircraft escorting a glowing orb south of Kennewick, ,Washington on a date and time given. The military aircraft was following behind the object and continued the escort until it was out of sight.

It approached us from the south from the direction of the Boardman bombing Range in Oregon and headed in a north easterly direction. The aircraft had clearly visible aircraft navigation lighting. The glowing orb that it was escorting had no such lighting.

I am fairly certain it was a military aircraft because I could not find it on my phone app that tracks commercial aircraft. Typically, military aircraft do not show up. However, commercial aviation and general aviation aircraft do show up on that app.

Silent Red pulsing sphere moved from the south toward us then moved west until view was blocked by a structure after two minutes. On Sunday May 17, 2020 at 9:53 pm, I saw a red sphere in the sky. It was silent, and the red sphere light seemed to pulse.

It moved westerly and my visual ended when it went below the roofline of the shop in my neighbors’ backyard. Initially I thought it was the planet Mars, just particularly brilliant. But when I realized it was not stationary, I snapped a quick photo and then returned to the house to get my husband.

We both returned to the backyard and it was moving and seemed closer to us and moved westerly. It appeared to have a whitish haze around the sphere that emanated about two times as wide (also circular habit seemed dimmer on the upper left side) as the red pulsing sphere and the aura lasted only a few seconds, then it returned to a solid pulsing red color (my husband saw it pulsing red and blue). I’m not even sure if I would call it solid.

It soon was starting to go behind the large silver maple tree in my neighbors’ backyard so I walked! about 40 feet south so I could continue to keep a visual on it. I was able to capture several short videos on my iPhone and then it appeared to turn southerly and seemed to be moving away from us moving in a southwest direction and downward rather quickly. This whole experience lasted from 9:53-9:54 (21:53-21:54) before it moved out of my sight because a structure was blocking my view.

I believe it was about 50° off the ground when I initially saw it and when I lost sight of it, it was about 25° off the ground. It appeared to be a bit larger than Mars is to the naked eye and I approximate it did appear to get a bit larger as it moved across the sky. There were few clouds in the sky mostly toward the north (none in the area that the object traveled) and there was no wind.

Two objects chasing each other around night sky Two star like objects quickly zipping across the sky. At first, they appeared to look like two shooting stars with no tails but they continue for several seconds. They appeared to be chasing each other.

They quickly changed directions and almost disappeared but they then reappeared again, zipped around and finally were out of site. Moments later a flashing light from the same vicinity flashed several times (5 seconds between flashes). We thought maybe they were an airplane light but they didn't change locations.

It flashed about 5 times and stopped. I am not an active follower of this page but wanted to report this as it was a peculiar incident.

We saw on Wed March 11 at 9:45 pm in Kennewick a group of red lights heading east in the sky. at first we thought that's weird planes flying at night.there was no sound.

when we focused our eyes it looked like a huge Hexagonal shape going slowly. It was huge. I ran out outside and it lit up the lower part of the sky and was gone.

I've been trying to find any one who saw anything on this night.

it looked like some kind of scouting mission if im being honest i had just got home from work and met my roommate out on the lawn of our apartment (5100 west Clearwater ave. ) when we all saw three black diamond shaped objects in the sky above the city, it is undeniable they were positioned vertically and moving through the sky horizontally while also moving at a very slow speed in tight formation, they then acended vertically after making an almost 90 degree stop and disappeared from sight so quickly that they were gone in seconds which leads me to beleive it was at a speed not possible for aircraft designed by humans, the three aircraft did things any educated human would know is impossible for our aircraft designs started with the mechanics of bird flight, almost like they wanted it to be irrefutable that this was a military op with secret tech i have no video but a great memory and decent sketching skills if an drawing is needed, not even sure where this will go or why im writing it but i believe someone should know ! since it could have something to do with hanford seeing as its only hundred or two hundred miles from where i saw this.

Orange color oval with light on top and many lights on the bottom very distant through a telescope. UFO report of sighting 8-11-16. The purpose of this report is to identify objects that I have seen through my telescope, and not to claim a sighting of extraterrestrial aircraft.

On August 11, 2016, at 8:10 pm I observed a bright spot in the sky with my naked eye that was obviously not a star as the stars were not visible this early in the evening. After a few minutes I realized what I was seeing was not something I have seen before so I shot a picture and a short video with my cell phone and got my wife to come outside to have a look also. Using a 7x35 binocular I was able to resolve the object into a disc shape but no other detail was visible.

I set up my C-8 Celestron telescope to have a better look. The object resolved into an orange color object that was oval shape, had a flashing light on top, was rimmed with what appeared to be many lights around the circumference of the bottom side that were dimmer than the light on top, and seemed translucent like a fabric. After a few minutes of observing, I attached a video camera to the telescope and recorded a few minutes of video in two recordings.

After bumping my telescope I was not able to find the object again as it was getting farther away and dimmer during the observation. The video capture settings, frame rate at .844 per sec.

is to slow to stop movement so there is some motion blur in the images but enough detail to see structure of the object. The orange color had faded to whitish purple by the time I got the video recording. I do not see the lights that were around the bottom of the object in the video image that I saw through the eyepiece of the telescope.

The sighting lasted from 8:10 pm to 8:53 pm about 43 minutes until I lost sight of it. The direction of travel was southeast, and the object got smaller by about half and was viewed by me and my wife, before I went to video capture. My telescope was hastily set up and there were no stars to polar align the mount so the tracking is off a little with respect to the stars.

The tracking motor is running at sidereal rate and I used the manual slow motion controls to center the object when it ran out of the field of view. I have been using this telescope for 18 years and this camera for only a few times. I am experienced with deep sky astrophotography with several camera types and several telescope types for 17 years.

Technical information: Telescope, Celestron C-8 telescope, 200mm mirror f/10 with f/3.3 focal reducer. Calculated focal length 686 mm.

Camera, ZWO ASI 120 MC color video camera with 3.5 x 3.5 micron pixels, 1280x960 image size.

Capture at .844 frames per second. All technical data is available.

Approximately 420 frames of data available with object visible. Two video files 903 MB and 893 MB. Three still captures from video.

Approximate RA 21h 46m, DEC 9 deg.

3 large silent, slow moving fiery orbs moving across the sky in an arc, one after the other in a timely manner. 9:50 PM After coming home from a walk, the two of us noticed an object in the sky. There were 3 large, fireball-like orbs smoothly traveling their own curved routes, one after the other.

They were a bright, rich orange, colored and glowing like fire. The first moved towards us, then turned in path and continued to the left of us (North), dimming increasingly but maintaining its size, pulsating, and controlled demeanor. About 3 minutes after we first spotted it, right as we were struggling to keep track of it in the distance, the second appeared from the same place the first had in the sky.

It seemed to move slightly closer towards us, turned at the same point as the first, and followed in the same direction but in a tighter arc. When what seemed to be the exact same amount of time in between the first and second sightings had passed, and it was just getting out of sight, the third appeared. After turning, this one made the widest arc and came closest to us by doing so.

Despite standing in the middle of a parking lot, staring up at the sky, commenting, and recording the encounter, it was as if all pedestrian traffic resumed minutes after the third had passed, and the one person who did walk right by us in the middle of the event didn’t seem to notice either us or the sky. There were no clouds and stars were out.

Observed three fireballs in triangular formation. Objects were moving slowly accross sky. NNW heading.

Hovered for 3 to five minutes. Before fading up and to the west. Objects made no noise like a rocket would.

At first glance it appeared as a plane on fire. But when object hovered and made no descent, but Instead ascended. Myself and witness could make no sure deduction as to what we were seeing other than UFO.

Kennewick residents witness 3 orange lights in formation, with 4 indivdual lights following for several minutes. At approximately 12:26 am pacific time, I stepped outside my home to check that my garage door had been closed before I went to bed. I turned to step back inside and I noticed three bright orange lights in a triangle formation to the West.

I thought it was peculiar they were not moving very fast at all and seemed to be hovering (we have many aircraft flying over head to and from the commercial airport, but these lights were different). Then after only a few seconds of observing them, it appeared that they began to rotate on one axis, then on another but remaining in triangular form and distance from each other. As they began to rotate in unison, two other large orange lights emerged in my view, following closely behind and in the path of the first three lights.

I could now see five lights. I then ran inside, got my wife out of bed, and she then confirmed she could see what I was seeing. She witnessed the three lights in triangular formation, and the two lights following closely behind.

I ran back inside, and woke up my visiting parents so they could also observe. The four of us watched as the three lights in triangular formation separated from formation and slowly rose in altitude in to the clouds illuminated by their light. As they rose we began to lose sight of them, two additional lights came in to view, and began to follow the first set of two lights.

All lights were moving in the same general path, rising in altitude above the clouds and out of view. Yes it was early New Years day - No, we were not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain semi-anonymous; provides little contact information.

reddish orange triangular pattern of lights. At approximately 9:00 pm on January 2, 2015, I stepped out on my back porch to have a cigarette. In the south eastern sky I saw a triangular pattern of lights.

The lights were reddish orange in color; the brightest of the lights was at the top point of the triangle. The two bottom points of the triangle were slightly dimmer. There were dimmer lights along the connecting points of the triangle.

It took me a minute to comprehend what I was seeing, it was amazing. As the lights were getting dimmer, I shouted to my sister in the house to hurry and come see this. When I first saw this triangle there were approximately 10 lights.

By the time my sister saw them, there were only about 5, with the brighter points of the triangle still visible. All of the lights got dimmer and faded away, some of the lights veered off from the triangular pattern.

13 sightings of large, fast moving, silent, triangular/V-shaped objects/bright lights since March 2014 I have been seeing large, fast moving, silent, dark/transparent triangular, V-shaped objects and bright lights in the sky on clear nights since March of this year (13 sightings through October 3rd. The sightings have become more and more frequent. I am starting to see two on the same night.

I have entered only my latest above because the form only accommodates one sighting. Here is my log: I reported the first one I saw this year to MUFON (case #55584). I saw it in the early morning hours of March 7.

I did not send the report until April because it took me that long to work through it in my head. I had a similar sighting several years prior at my previous home ten miles to the east of my present location but did not know where to report it. I have been keeping a log of the sightings since March (dates, time, shape and direction of travel) and just found your site.

Last night I saw two within 3 minute of each other and want to see if anyone else is reporting the same activity. My husband saw one in August and is convinced that they are military drones. Here is my log.

Please note that each of sightings are silent, high altitude, and fast. By fast, I mean seconds to cross the sky. March 7, 2014 12:45am – 1:15 am (Original report to MUFON case # 55584) I was facing south on a clear night with no moon, looking to the southeast when a very large, high altitude vessel blocked my view of the stars.

If I had not been looking where I was, I don’t think I would have seen it. It was dark, no visible lights and almost seemed transparent or as if it was reflecting the starlight, almost invisible. It was a large, triangular/boomerang shape that had rounded corners and the back was indented (not a typical straight lined triangle, but not a typical boomerang either).

It was completely silent and was moving faster than the high altitude planes I see all the time. It passed just slightly to the east of me, moving south to north. July 16, 2014 10:33 pm Very fast, dark, silent, V-shape moving W to E.

I could only see the leading edge of the UFO as if it was reflecting starlight. I could not see rest of it. August 3, 2014 10:10 pm Very fast, dark, silent, V-shape moving W to E.

Again, I could only see the leading edge of the UFO. September 1, 2014 12:15am Very fast, dark, silent, V-shape moving S to N. I could only see the leading edge.

September 3, 2014 10:54 pm 2 fast moving bright lights moving very close together coming from the SE to the NW split very wide apart in an outward motion but continued to travel at the same speed in the same direction until they were out of sight. September 4, 2014 11:30 pm A bright flash in the same SE location as the lights seen the night before (Sep 4, 2014). September 21, 2014 2:32 am Steady light traveling E to W about ¾ the speed of a shooting star.

Did not change speed, intensity, or direction. September 21, 2014 10:19 pm 7 dim lights in very fast, dark, silent, V-shape moving NW to SE September 25, 2014 11:34 pm Bright lights (1 or 2) moving very fast, E to W. Did not change speed, intensity or direction.

*September 30, 2014 9:34pm and 9:43pm Faint V-shapes moving slower than previous sightings. I could only see the leading edges. The first at 9:34 was N to S.

The second at 9:43 was angled slightly NW to SE. October 3, 2014 11:25pm and 11:28pm V-shape with 7-9 dim lights on front edge fast moving NE to SW. I could only see the leading edges.

The second at 11:28, direction was angled slightly more WNW to SE but was a straight line angled SE to NW, not v-shaped.

Triangle lights. Kennewick, WA, 11/29/13. My son saw three dots of light shaped like a triangle.

The video is on his Ipod. When watching the video there is another small red dot of light in the distance. He states that it hovered and moved in a strange manner and that there was no sound.

I could not tell for myself because he was talking the whole time. I have also seen lights in the sky but always tried to explain them away.

Bright flash of white light seen in Kennewick night skies. Was looking northward, and overhead in my direct line of sight nearly straight up, saw a very bright flash of white light. It flashed and was gone.

Much brighter than an aircraft light. I have seen of few of these in the last few months. They ony flash for an instant, but are quite bright, and large.
