National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 3/15/2009 23:00 (Entered as : 03/15/09 23:00) Reported: 9/5/2009 10:03:00 PM 22:03 Posted: 12/12/2009 Location: Muscatine, IA Shape: Triangle Duration: 20 seconds Characteristics: There were lights on the object, There were aircraft in the vicinity or aircraft chasing the object
Triangle object with 4 white lights silently flys through the sky very low to the ground. A few of us were standing in the back yard around a fire late at night. I turned from the fire to warm up my back side and just stared up at the cool night sky. The moon was bright and there were a few slow moving clouds, the stars were shining bright. I noticed what I thought was one small cloud moving faster then the others, that is what first caught my eye. Then I realize it was not a cloud but rather a dark triangular object moving silently through the clouds. The object flew in a straight line and I did notice 4 large lights underneath, the lights did not flash or blink and they had a strange color to them. The color was like an aluminum flashlight beam. I yelled at my wife and her brother to look but the triangular object was too hard to see, they looked further on and saw an airplane in the distance. I kept my eye on the object; it was low to the ground, triangular, silent, with 4 eerie white lights. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date is approximate. PD))
