- Within a day several reports from friends and family have come to me.
- Two from staunch skeptics of the paranormal. Some backrounmd info: I and
- all parties concerned live in Pittsburgh, PA and one night my sister was
- on her way inside her house when this very bright light shown on her.
- There was no source she could pinpoint, just an extremely bright light
- which was tight (only shown on her and a small area surrounding her), the
- light apperared to come from a low angle but as she said for the short
- time it was on she couldn't pinpoint it. Her fiancee' is a real skeptic
- and he had the same thing happen to him on the way into the house.
- Blindingly bright light which stayed on for about a second and had a tight
- focus. Light too bright to pinpoint in such a short period of time. THEN
- tonight (or this morning) the very same thing happened to a friend of mine
- in my driveway (the other incidents happened at my the couple's house
- which is mile from here). Anyway he too is a big skeptic of the paranormal
- yet he yelled for me and asked "Did you see that? Did you see that!" To
- which I responded, "See what?" and he related the same details as above
- but he said the light had a somewhat greenish color. I then told him
- about my sister and soon to be brother-in-law's sighting.
-
- Some nights before we were in my driveway and spot a craft (won't
- call it a plane yet) which had 3 lights on it in a triangular formation
- and a red "beacon" light underneath. Now what drew our attention to it was
- it's wobbly motion at first. It seemed like it was floating like a falling
- leaf. (since we live on a flight path to the Pittsburgh Internation
- Airport which is about 3 miles away, we see planes and helo's all the
- time). We ran out into the street to get a better view and at the same
- time it came out from the trees it was behind at a fairly rapid (but still
- within normal aircraft flight characteristics) speed. The craft seemed to
- be at about 2,000 feet but it is hard to estimate distances at night. All
- the while no sound was heard until it was directly above us. It slowed and
- paused in mid-air for a second and emitted a real low but audible rumble
- which seemed to come on instantaneous, as if someone said "OK, turn on the
- sound". Most jets, civilian and military are pretty loud at this height
- when they are directly above you. Anyway all of us agreed it was strange
- but pretty much agreed that it was somekind of military aircraft. We could
- see a faint outline of an elongated, acute triangle with rounded edges but
- it was very faint the only wreason I think we saw it was because the
- underside reflected no light and the backround was brighter due to the
- clouds. Had this been a clear night I doubt we would have detected an
- outline. Anyway, has anyone else had any sightings of unusual nature in
- this area recently? If so let me know.

- Hi Joe,

-
- A possible UFO flap may be begining in the Escondido, California area.
- My sister has sighted the same UFO three times in the last 2 weeks. It
- appears as an orange light at first and closer up as a triangle shaped
- craft with lights on the corners. She saw it very close up and stated
- there was no sound...

-
- My daughter and I saw a triangular-shaped craft fly very low over our yard.
- It had rounded corners and lights in the corners and though it just skimmed
- the trees it made no engine sound - only a "whoooosh"-like noise. It was
- not flying fast and there were one or two others in the area at the same
- time but not as close. It almost seemed as if they were surveying the area.
-
- There were newspaper reports soon after that confirmed our sighting but we
- never reported it. Is this a common shape???
- [END]
-
-
- "Is this a common shape???"
-
- I think the answer to this question is becoming increasingly obvious. There
- are many similar reports to the above.
-
- The Indiana sighting from the early 1970's is almost identical to the craft
- you describe and implies that such craft have been around for some 20 years,
- however, there are reports of triangular shaped craft which go back to the
- early 1940's, at least.
-
- The precise pencil-beam light is particularly interesting. This is a
- characteristic reported in the Belgian sightings from 1989:
-
- "Starting early Dec 89 the BAF has been contacted on several occasions by
- eyewitnesses who observed strange phenomena in the Belgian airspace. On some
- occasions they described the phenomena as a triangle-shaped platform up to
- 200 feet wide with 3 downward beaming projectors, hovering at +- 100 m
- above...On the first occasion the F16 arrived +- 1 hour after the visual
- detection. Nothing was observed. On the second occasion, pilots could
- identify a laser-beam projector on the ground."
-
-
- There is a picture file in .GIF format which is available from BBS's and ftp
- sites and is a photograph taken in 1990 (by a policeman, I believe) in
- Belgium. It is generally entitled BELGUFO.GIF and shows a triangular shaped
- craft with rounded corners. The craft has one light at each corner and a
- central light.
-
-
- "...a triangle shaped craft with lights on the corners."
-
- "...a triangular-shaped craft...It had rounded corners and lights in the
- corners..."
-
- "... an elongated, acute triangle with rounded edges... which had 3 lights
- on it in a triangular formation and a red "beacon" light underneath."
-
- "...a triangular shaped craft with rounded corners. The craft has one light
- at each corner and a central light."
-
-
- It's just _too_ much of a co-incidence, isn't it.
