NUFORC Sighting 36501

Occurred: 2004-04-21 00:40 Local
Reported: 2004-04-24 09:42 Pacific
Duration: 30 sec.
No of observers: 1

Location: Santa Fe, NM, USA

Shape: Circle

There were three balls of light flying in a long triangle

April 21st,12:40pm. Three circles, flying in a long trialgle shape (<)very fast.

I went out to watch what was left of a meteor shower and saw this instead. It was very dark in the sky in back of these shapes. They appeared to be light (yellowish) but also kind of transparent/slightly glowy. Each had a smaller circle within the circle,like a dot in the middle, which was darker. The three flew at the same speed in the same direction. And then disappeared. I often enjoy the evening skys here, and know there is lots of airforce around. I have seen many different types of planes at night, never anything that looked like this. My husband asked how big they were and if I could put my hand over them when I was watching. Which I believe I could.The time was very short in duration that I was able to see this, but the sky was clear and my first reaction was, "Whoe,...what the heck was that!"

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS))

Not a hoax, just what I saw and an update

I entered a report and saw that a notation had been made stating there was rapid fire entry (?)from the same computer and it may be a hoax. Please know that this was no hoax, and do not discount it just because I may not know how to use this computer properly. I do not remember, but may have thought it did not enter and resubmitted it. I have never sent one of these and was not enthusiastic about giving out my personal information. My husband had suggested I write you because he said he has heard about these flying spheres/in a triangle form before and thought it was worth noting. And with that, I will also tell you that on 04/27/2004 at about 10:00pm, I went out in the yard again. Curious from the night before and now instead of coming from the south to the north I saw crafts going from north to south. These were not the 3 sphere shaped/triangle I saw on the 21st. I would say 1 every 10-15min flew overhead. These had noise (the other did not). These had 3 round lights (not independent spheres). Some of them had 2 yellow and one red light. And you could see the triangle shape on these. My impression was that this was some sort of airforce practice run. Or my personal interpretation was that someone wanted anyone who saw the thing on the 21st to think it was one of these because they were so loud I kept coming out of my home every time I heard one.

(I had called your hotline, but it was always a recording). Thank you.
