| Large, triangular object gliding silently but very quickly across visible sky. We were watching the Persids Meteor Shower. The sky began to shimmer slightly above us, and a triangular shape of three lights appeared. At first it was disorienting because we were looking for meteors, but this object appeared, and we didn't know what it was. After a few seconds I said, "It's a UFO." It moved very gracefully; the best way I could describe it would be "gliding." It was absolutely silent. The object moved from just above us to near the western horizon within the space of a few seconds. It was really large, but the realization of that didn't occur to us until after it disappeared. Only then did we get a sense of how huge it had been. The object seemed to be quite high in the air, but it covered a much larger area of the sky than any airplane would have. It looked at first like three stars moving at the same time, but it was apparent there was a solid object, not three separate ones. It glided silently across the visible sky and then seemed to vanish as it had appeared -- with a sort of rippling of the air. |
