2005: Triangular Craft Sighting

THINK ABOUTIT SIGHTINGS REPORT

Date: May 13, 2005

Sighting Time: 12:19 A.M.

Day/Night: Night

Location: Kirkland, Washington

Urban or Rural: Urban

Hynek Classification: NL (Nocturnal Light) Point or extended luminous source observed at night.

Duration:

No. of Object(s): Single

Size of Object(s): as big as a 747 or at least ¾ of a football field

Distance to Object(s): I estimate the craft was ¾ to 1 mile from my position. I estimated altitude 200-350 feet from ground traveling 70-110 knots “banking” (more like floating) towards the port/left.

Shape of Object(s): Triangle

Color of Object(s): Perfect black triangle with 9 orange/yellowish lights on two sides of the triangle, one on tip four following each leading edge, with none on stern/back end of the triangle. The color of the lights was a very light salmon/orange-yellow. The lights glowed with barely detectible movement similar to air heating phenomena which you see on heated roadways, but in this case, the area was confined to the lights themselves.

Number of Witnesses: Single

Summary: Perfect black triangle with 9 orange/yellowish lights on two sides of the triangle, one on tip four following each leading edge, with none on stern/back end of the triangle. The craft made barely, if any noise, and seemed to be defying the laws of gravity and aviation as it was floating and banking left.

12:19 AM May 13, 2005
Location: Kirkland, WA
Weather: Light stratus towards the West, clear towards the East
Light Pollution: moderate due to ambient light and humidity seemed high as stars were not well visible. The sky was one or two hues lighter than its normal black due to humidity and light pollution. My view of the craft was 45 degrees up from terra facing due East.

Observation of craft:
Discovered the craft due east in my field of view and the craft was traveling north. I estimate the craft was ¾ to 1 mile from my position. I estimated altitude 200-350 feet from ground traveling 70-110 knots “banking” (more like floating) towards the port/left. Craft leveled off traveling towards the NE and became undetectable as it became level, in perfect stealth. The craft seems to “float” like observed satellites float in an arc across the sky, but this craft floated in a straight line close the earth. The size of the craft was as big as a 747 or at least ¾ of a football field.

Personal notation:
I was going out to drop some recycling material at 12:18 AM PST and heard or sensed something very subtle in the sky. Directly in front of me due East, I looked up 45 degrees and saw clearly a perfect black triangle. The craft had lights on two sides of it and they were no brighter than dim stars, but they were all uniformly spaced and of the same color. The craft was traveling north. I was dumbstruck as the craft made barely, if any noise, and seemed to be defying the laws of gravity and aviation as it was floating and banking left traveling towards the Northeast. I use the term “banking” lightly because it was not relying on the air to the bank, it was more like it was just righting itself to level as it floated. I strained to hear anything and could not but sensed great power or energy. I was amazed at the razor-sharp edges of the triangle and was struck by the clarity of the salmon-colored lights that ran up one side of the triangle leading edge and up the other side but not on the part of the triangle which was on the back. I remember thinking, those lights are designed to be subtle and not seen. I saw that the craft was leveling off and as soon as it did it completely disappeared. (This next part is based on human intuition and is understandably arbitrary) I remember thinking “ok, is that one of us?” but I didn’t get the feeling that it was. Something didn’t feel right. I felt like there were people on board but the feeling I had was that they were super-intelligent, like test pilots (I have an old acquaintance who was a test pilot and he was the smartest person I have ever met) but that they were with some power or government that superseded everything. I felt that the people on board had a sort of clinical superintelligence if a person can sense such things like this. That’s just what I felt, I can’t dismiss or excuse it.

My overall feeling was one of amazement, also a very ominous feeling which turned into excitement and fear.

Here’s the sad part of this… I had been doing night photography for the last couple of nights and had my digital camera ON.MY.NECK, but I knew that I couldn’t dig it out of its bag, power up, switch it to the manual, then turned the iso to the max, the f-stop to the max and a 1/3 second exposure, as I was wrapped up trying to soak in as much detail as possible. I just didn’t have time and I knew it instinctively.

12:19 AM May 13, 2005 Location: ((address deleted)) Avenue by 124th Avenue, Kirkland, WA 98034 Weather: light stratus towards the west clear towards the east Light Pollution: moderate due to ambient light and humidity seemed high as stars were not well visible.

45 degrees up from terra facing due east est altitude 200-350 feet from ground traveling 70-110 knots banking towards the right leveling off towards NE becoming undetectable as it became level, perfect stealth.

Object: perfect black triangle/ 7 lights on two angles of a triangle, one on tip three following each leading edge, none on the back end of the triangle.

The color of the lights was a very light salmon/orange-yellow. Lights glowed with barely detectible movement similar to air heating phenomena on heated roadways, but in this case, the area was confined to the lights themselves Easy to track as it was banking to its forward right edge. I had a clear view of the bottom of craft as it was banking but when it leveled out it was GONE/perfectly stealthy.
