11-28-04 At 6:00 pm cdt,me, my wife and my grandauther were ridind around on farm to market roads approx. 25 miles from athens tx when my wife noticed a bright light in the sky. it changed direction instantly and disappeared traveling south to north. we continued driving and began to see more lights,all flying south to north.during the next 25 minutes we saw arond 2 dozen more.they were flying at different altitudes. we stopped at a roadside rest area on hiway 31 4 miles west of malakoff tx. as we set their we seen one comeing towards the rest area flying lower than any of the other craft. it was shaped like two triangles, big ends together,with a white light at each corner. on the long ends was a red blinking light and a green blinking light.it to was flying south to north. we viewed this craft for 25 to 30 seconds before it was out of site. there was no sound. the other aircraft that flew over low enough to see any detial were all shaped like a triangle with3 white lights.in all, from 6pm cdt to 10 p we saw approx 60 aircraft flying from south to north.

11-28-04 Thank you again for your telephone call to me. It trhilled us all to know someone else had a sighting the same night we did.You said she was in lewisville, tx which is in the same direction the craft we saw would have passed over if it continued on the same path. How interesting!After our sighting of the low flying double triangle craft at malakoff,tx we came back to our home in athens and got my binoculars. As i told you we continued to see extremely heavy air traffic coming in from the south appearing to be at different alititudes.We drove toward the south then i stopped off of hiway 287 on 488, there was another aircraft coming toward us. I watched it with my binoculars. As it passed over i could clearly see a single triangle shaped aircraft with a white light on each corner and a red blinking light on the right tip.A green blinking light on the leftThe more i think about the aircraft at malakoff, if you took two of the single aircraft and connected them where there should be some kind of thrust output,then turned it sideways that would be exactly what i saw at the roadside park.I stated that the malakoff aircraft had 4 white lights, all the others had 3 lights, maybe when they docked with each other two of the lights on the rear are covered up by something.Then again maybe the single triangle aircraft were usaf stealth fighters following the aircraft i described at malakoff,tx.
