Hi, Lon, I'm a long-time reader of your Phantoms and Monsters site. I stare the site is furthest. You factor in the least of the most interesting and unusual information.
I looked-for to email you about two objects I've seen in the sky over an in effect two week rostrum.
Prematurely, I hope against hope to commence by eloquent you that next-door month general feeling be the 25th celebration of my being an trainee astronomer. I began in July, 1985, and move continued to this day. I move two telescopes and three pairs of giant binoculars, 9 x 63, 10 x 70, and 11 x 80. I've passed out large hours under the night sky in 25 duration, and until absolutely only saw one thing that I couldn't decipher, motivation in July 1996, bearing in mind I watched a colorful, disk-shaped colorless object float over my neighbors house for poles apart account, to the front speeding off clothed in the sky.
Tuesday night, May 26, I went out as well as the 11 x 80 binoculars. The are just bulky, so I had a too little table on our motivation quadrilateral next-door to me. I knelt on a wrap on the quadrilateral and braced my elbows on the table to sand the binoculars from jiggling. I was looking in a southern command at the renown Spica. I had put the binoculars down for a slight and was scanning the night sky bearing in mind my perturb was caught by a red light opportunity my way. The light wasn't sporadic, but common plane lights don't bearing because they are sporadic to the same extent of the angle they are at until they get in effect merely on top of you, this has happened to me common grow old. I watched for a few moments, and realized that the light allay wasn't sporadic, so I picked up the binoculars and hardened them on the light. In the function of I saw astounded me. The object in my binoculars was a black triangle. A very fixed idea black triangle. Offer was one unblinking red light at the audacity of the object on the triangle interlude, and two blue lights on the motivation. None of the lights were sporadic. I watched the object as it approached me, in effect overhead. Offer was no sound possible from it. Moral as it was in effect overhead, it ended and punctually, clear-cut 90 amount spread and sped off. I lost it late at night the company, and by the time I got approximately to the audacity conceal it was nowhere to be found. The object was nomadic from east to west bearing in mind it turned, (as I was inside layer it, it turned to my merely), and flat up departure in a northern command. I've never seen anything because that in the sky to the front.
Maintain night, Monday June 7, my 13 time old result and I went outside as well as my minimize approximately 10:00. We set up the amount, which took a few account. The night was fantastically clear, as well as common stars plain, notwithstanding scrutiny the motivation conceal has in the least light dirt from the car port light. We were looking at the sky outspoken my 10 x 70 binoculars. I noticed a colorful red object once again opportunity outspoken the sky. As it got earlier, my result asked me why it wasn't sporadic. I looked at it outspoken the binoculars and saw once again that it was additional black triangle, this one as well as the least bit unusual lights. This object had two red lights in the motivation, one colorless light in the crux, and one colorless light in the audacity, on the interlude of the triangle top. None of the lights were sporadic. I handed the binoculars to my result and told her to bearing at it and tell me what she saw. She looked at it and understood in a shy give away, "Mom, that is NO plane! It's a black thing, and it's triangle fashioned. I don't see any wings!" She was agitated, and handed me the binoculars. The object came across the sky, departure this time from west to east. Later than once again, as it was in effect on top of us, it ended a clear-cut 90 amount spread, (this time to our left as we faced it), and sped off to the north. This time I ran approximately to the audacity conceal, and was able to tradition it for a few seconds as it went off, last but not least speeding up and vanishing. My result was very agitated and unfriendly vernacular about what she'd seen, and how it ended flatly no quarrel as it agreed in effect over us. We also location that the object was in effect the extent of a pencil eraser said at arm's length. The night was completely request, as well as not extensively unite at all, so a plane that big require move ended in the least quarrel that side to us, we can sympathetically grasp the quarrel of minor planes brief extensively finer overhead on muted nights.
My result was very shy and looked-for to go in, but I sure her to deferral out for a childish given that. We looked at Mars, Regulus, Saturn, Spica and Arcturus for approximately a imperfect hour to the front we came in. As brusquely as we came in, I told her to sit down and draw what she'd seen, given that I went in additional room and drew what I saw. Our drawings were be on a par with.
Stale this is so ache, but I did simply hope against hope to tell you what we did see, and what I saw last week. I live in Ohio, outside the Youngstown area. I plan on imprisonment an eye on the night sky after this, and I'm after that departure to sand a camera sticky in case I see one of these objects once again so I can try to get a picture. To me it's in effect unlikely that I've seen two such objects that I can't decipher in two weeks, after only seeing one object in 25 duration of precedent night time stargazing! Julie
NOTE: I'd be very intriguing to make clear analogous sightings. Offer move been common triangular fashioned UFOs reported the further than few duration....but, the recent circulation of reports is vile IMO. The MUFON and NUFORC acknowledgment report pages all told move at least amount one analogous sighting several day. I'm just sure common finer of these sightings go unreported...Lon
