| Flying Triangle Around 7 PM est on January 18, 2008 I witnessed a large triangular shaped object on Estes Drive in Chapel Hill, NC. I was driving at 35 mph and spotted a large object with a bright white light surrounded by two larger red lights hovering just above the treetops surrounding Estes Drive Elementary School. It was approximately 200-250 ft. in the air. There is a small airport close by, but this was not a plane. The object was moving extremely slowly in a straight line. It made no sound, and the lights were steady, and did not blink. As it's a two lane road and I had traffic approaching and traffic coming up behind me I could not stop or turn around to get a closer look. When I reached the end of Estes Drive, at the corner of Estes and East Franklin (approx 1/4 mile from the sighting) I could see a pair of lights in the Southern sky splitting apart, one went to the left (the East) while the other rose to the Northwest. The Northwesterly object continued rising and then switched course to the East.
