Reported: 2017-04-12 12:35 Pacific
Duration: 3 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Townsend, MT, USA

Shape: Triangle


I observed three triangular luminescent objects in delta formation pass silently overhead very quickly.

I'm a musician. On August 25, 1990, I was playing a gig in Townsend MT outdoors behind the Mint Bar. I know the date because I have records of all my gigs, and I played at this place only once.

During a break, I stepped into a gap between the Mint and the building to the north. I was facing north. Within the narrow space, there was nowhere to look but up.

I saw three luminescent, triangular objects in delta formation fly very quickly from east to west; they spanned that stretch in less than three seconds. I heard no immediate or delayed sound. A rough estimate of altitude is 10,000 feet above the surface.

A few years later, I was playing music in Europe with a couple musicians from Montana. One of them was living in Great Falls MT in 1990. I talked about the experience, telling him only that I had seen three luminescent objects.

He asked, "In delta formation? Traveling fast?" I said yes. He said (although we had no means to compare dates), "I saw them too. We had stopped near Eddie's Corner, and I saw them fly overhead - very fast." Although this happened 27 years ago, I recall it vividly. I hadn't thought of it for quite some time until recently reading "Montana UFOs" by Joan Bird (2013).
