NUFORC Sighting 129031

Occurred: 2016-07-23 02:00 Local
Reported: 2016-08-04 13:14 Pacific
Duration: 20-30 seconds
No of observers: 5

Location: Caroline (Canada), AB, Canada

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

equilateral triangle of lights few overtop of us, twice.

First sighting around 2 am, first spotted as a very bright star appearing from the west, fairly low to the horizon maybe 20 – 30 degrees.

Bright star appeared to be traveling west to east approximately 100 km’s away from our position (south of rocky mountain house, northwest of Caroline).

As the star (at this point identified to be more of a very bright light) traveled west to east, two smaller lights appear behind it forming a equilateral triangle, each light moved in unison, really low orbit and very fast. No sound or light diffraction was noted. The three lights continued to move in unison eventually disappearing over the ridgeline (our POV) to the northeast of us. Might have come within 50 km’s of our position at its closest.

Second sighting happen approximately 2 hours later, exact same appearance and characteristics as first sighting however now the three lights travelled north to south and flew directing overtop of us. Once again no sound or light distortion was observed.

No aircraft were heard or observed that night (we were pretty deep in the bush and could easily hear objects such as planes).
