Occurred : 9/17/2005 20:00 (Entered as : 09/17/2005 20:00) Reported: 9/18/2005 5:30:56 PM 17:30 Posted: 10/11/2005 Location: Newark, DE Shape: Triangle Duration: 1 minute Characteristics: There were lights on the object, There were aircraft in the vicinity or aircraft chasing the object
3bright lights trianglular shape like an airplane, but hovering We were watching heat lighting and turned onto a road when my husband noticed what appeared to be a very low flying aircraft at a highspeed heading toward us. Knowing there was no airport around we watched it fearing it was going to crash when it suddenly came to a complete stop and appeared to be hovering. It had 3 bright nonflashing lights in the shape of a triangle and there was no noise. We watched the craft while driving due to no place to pull over. We stopped at a light and we really don't know what happened, it either moved quickly or turned off the lights. A few moments later about 5 miles down the road in Cecil County, MD we noticed a large military cargo plane doing about a 15 mile radius circle around the two counties flying low as if it were searching for something.
