triangular object flying east with bright lights

AT APPROX. 1240 A.M. FLYING FROM LA TO TAMPA BAY. WHILE FLYING OVER DALLAS, WE SPOTTED 3 BRIGHT LIGHTS AT 37 THOUSAND FEET ALL IN A TRIANGULAR FORMATION. THEY WERE FLYING IN A EASTERLY DIRECTION AND IT DID NOT APPEAR THAT THEY WERE SEPARATE ENTITIES. THE SPEED WAS APPROX. .9 MACH OR BETTER, AND THE OBJECTS DID NOT APPEAR TO BE SLOWING DOWN.

THE LIGHTS THEN STARTED TO FADE, AND AS THEY DID YOU COULD START TO SEE A FAINT LIGHT THAT CONNECTED THE THREE OTHER LIGHTS, AND YOU COULD DEFINITLY SEE THE SHAPE OF A TRIANGLE. THE LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FADE AND EVENTUALLY DISSAPPEARED.

NUFORC Note:

We spoke with this individual about his sighting, and we found him to be extremely credible. He is a former military pilot, and he was promoted from co-pilot to pilot's training at about the time of his sighting.

This individual was one of two witnesses who appeared with me on the Art Bell radio talk program, "Coast to Coast," on Thursday night, November 11, 1999.

We believe the correct time for the sighting is 0240 hrs. (local), not 0140 hrs., as was first indicated by the witness. PD))
