As My wife and I were delivering Newspapers throughout Rural Bosque County Texas, We observed an unusual set of lights hovering in the sky,they were much too low to be a star and as there was very little movement for a while we decided to stop and look at it.When we got out of the truck We observed this object move up and then down even lower then it origanlally was,there was no sound noise or anything around us..As we went back to delivering our papers we noticed that no matter which direction we turned this object was always right in front of us..This went on for over an hour of driving and delivering,and as we made our way further south,the first object became two sets of lights..As we topped the hill Headed towards Clifton Tx(probably the highest point in Bosque County)we stopped and looked at it again..As we observed the two objects the one northern most shot straight up and disapeared. As we stood there and watched the remaining object it began to seem as if it were getting closer as it soon took on shape, and one set of lights,turned into 2 and then into 3...The lights seemed to be in the form of a triangle and flashed multi colors.. After about 15 minutes of watching we went back to work and as we made our way further south my wife looked out her open window and said it looks like a giant triangle..I immediately stopped and at this point you could see the out line of something between the 3 sets of lights that appeared to be a Huge Triangle..As we watched the lights suddenly got bright enough to light up the area around us,it was light enough that we could see the deer in the area as if they were out in the daylight.At that time I got on the CB radio to ask if any of the local Truck drivers were observing this,but the radio and my truck just went dead!Then just as quickly as it lit up it was dark and my truck started right back up,we got in and went back to work and observed this object go up and down and every now and then it would zip from one side of us to the other and then back again! We observed this till about 6am when as we made our way across the Whitney Dam the object was highly visible and looking more like a triangle,then suddenly it shot up and to the side and was gone! Also I am unable to recieve Collect calls,but if you have any questions please Email me,I check it 2-3 times daily and will repond as soon as I get it!
