Summary/Description: Playing with friend in yard. Got dark. My mother screamed to get in. Looked up large dark gray triangular object with lights above us. No sound. It was in the summer of 1956. My mom has since passed.

A girl I was playing with when I was about 8 yrs old were stooping near the trees in the backyard playing with dirt. It was the afternoon. It got very dark. We thought it was clouds when my mother  yelled for us to get in the house.  When we looked up there was a huge triangular shaped object  hovering over us. There was no sound. We ran into  our houses. By the time I got up the steps it was  gone and my mother was calling the police on the phone. They told  her it was probably the  government testing a new aircraft. The craft was a dark gray it had lights in each of the  points blinking on and off. The bottom looked like it had indentations . That is all I can really remember. But it  never made a sound and as fast as it came is as fast as it left.
