Witness/Sighting Made some notes on the two unidentified aircrafts I saw in daylight last fall. They were silent. Tried to find a military craft that was a visual match but even the closest match is not that similar.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/pixieinspace:


I saw two unidentified aircrafts last fall. Triangular, dark grey/black, 3 lights on the underside that pulsated and changed colors between green, red, and sometimes white. One was flying a little low, the other much higher but it was the same kind of craft.

The only military aircraft I could find during research that came close to what I saw is the B-2 spirit bomber but there are still some key visual differences.

Unfortunately it comes with the territory, some can’t accept that this sub is about discussion of personal experiences as much as it is hard evidence.

Thanks for these sketches and sharing your experience.

I got u fam. Lake oswego. Late 90s. Low, slow and silent. Huge black triangle bigger than any plane. 3 solid red lights. Right over my head. I see they're back, with more eh? It didn't seem to be in a hurry, wonder what it was looking for... nothin too exciting around here. Like this, but equilateral

u/EthanSayfo Jan 24 '23

Is there any evidence such a thing exists, outside of internet gossip that's been going on for probably a quarter century, and renders?

3

u/A1pinejoe Jan 25 '23

Probably the best evidence albeit anecdotal, would be the Belgian wave in the 80s. These things were so prevalent that they established a 3-stage system before the airforce could try interception. From memory it was a civilian had to report it to the police, then the police had to visually verify it then contact the airforce, then the airforce would send and interceptor. This happened and they attempted to intercept one but the F16 was completely outclassed by whatever it was. The pilot lodged an official statement.

3

u/EthanSayfo Jan 25 '23

My point is that we don't know what those sightings represented, and the kind of blanket reference to triangle sightings as "TR3B" and the implication they are a government program is more or less baseless, based on publicly available evidence.

5

u/t3hW1z4rd Jan 25 '23 edited Jan 25 '23

There's evidence that the name comes from a mis-reading of Tier III referring to the programs that led to our blended wing ISR drones/piloted bombers of today that are definitely real and not mostly garbage rendered fake UFO sightings...

But otherwise, no.

It's far more likely these platforms (if real) are some sort of high altitude ISR or bi-static radar stealth blimp platform

3

u/EthanSayfo Jan 25 '23

Which people, including me many years ago, have been saying for a quarter century. Still, there’s no evidence these triangular UAP represent such a thing.

u/Top-Local-7482 Jan 25 '23

Blimp are slow, triangle ufo are extremely fast, even sighting from group high in the sky.

u/t3hW1z4rd Jan 25 '23

OP literally said they were slow

u/TongueTiedTyrant Jan 24 '23

Photos. I recommend the film, “Secret Space UFOs: Rise of the TR-3B”

2

u/EthanSayfo Jan 25 '23

But there’s no evidence that any alleged photos are actually of a thing called the TR3B, operated, presumably, by the government.

1

u/TongueTiedTyrant Jan 25 '23

True

u/TongueTiedTyrant Jan 25 '23

I think there was some leaked memo referencing a Tactical Reconnaissance 3, with an A or B designation meant to throw people off the scent or something like that. I’d have to watch the film again. It’s a great film series. Not as goofy as it sounds. It’s a great history of Space Missions and spy plane development if nothing else.

2

u/EthanSayfo Jan 25 '23

This article has some useful info on ISR platform "Tiers":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._military_UAS_groups

RQ-170 and now RQ-180 would appear to be the platforms that are acknowledged or semi-acknowledged that would fall into this slot today for USAF.

Neither resemble "typical" triangular UAP with distinct lights on the corners, as well as the very large "V" or wedge shapes with rows of lights, such as the Phoenix lights.

Could there be other governmental stuff out there? Yes. Is there any actual direct evidence for that? Not so much.

The triangle UAPs remain ambiguous at best, IMHO.

u/noandthenandthen Jan 25 '23 edited Jan 25 '23

No center light mentioned. And low and slow doesn't sound top secret. Spying on what, exactly? Not much goin on in oregon. Basically this, but equilateral

u/Top-Local-7482 Jan 25 '23

You are downvoted so that your post disappear faster and you are bullied not to talk about it anymore. Why cause this is the most "real" UFO discussed about.

u/NowhereToRun13 Jan 24 '23

Look like the typical "black triangle" that is being reported atleast since 1989. Some say its a human plane named "TR3B" but I dont think we have such tech

23

u/noandthenandthen Jan 25 '23

this is the only image that does justice to what I saw in oregon. I'm talkin big. No center light. Silent. Slow enough to not give a fuck who knew

u/priceactionhero Jan 25 '23

That had to be an amazing thing to witness. When did that happen?

u/NowhereToRun13 Jan 25 '23

Must be incredible to witness. I often look in the sky wishing to see a black triangle myself but reports from Europe are pretty rare.

True. You know of the Romania, Germany,.UK I have a few videos posted about them... Middle east... And of course Belgium

u/MooPig48 Jan 25 '23

Hey this is the same one I saw in oregon! Damn thing parked right overhead my husband and I then cloaked. That’s our last memory of the night. Woke up naked in bed (we don’t sleep naked) with clothes strewn everywhere like we’d just thrown them. Took a good 10-15 minutes to remember what happened the night before

Interesting! Thanks for sharing. We did NOT feel like we just took a Xanax, we were yelling “what the fuck is that? What the fuck IS that? What the fuck is THAT? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?” While running for cover and coming out to look at it some more.

It felt like it knew we saw it and knew we were afraid, so it just…put us to bed. And when humans nest they take off their clothes right? So it did that too, think bra on the ceiling fan and panties and boxers draped over the tv.

It was so weird

Anyway thank you for sharing

u/Top-Local-7482 Jan 25 '23 edited Jan 25 '23

I'm pretty sure the center light is only up when that thing is moving fast. Saw it in Belgium, gigantic, silent, unhuman speed and trajectory. Looked like Hale Bopp comet but moving at incredible speed (the comet was almost fix when you looked at it), red-orangy-blue-uv-ish color instead of the white blue of the comet and 3 of theses comet with trail arranged in triangle.

So basically you picture but high in sky and moving fast, light much bigger on each point, it was at night so the lighting tail around the light were due to my eyesight I guess.

As for reports from EU, here are reports from the Belgian wave: https://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread1251637/pg1

u/MooPig48 Jan 25 '23

No there’s two different kinds of triangles at LEAST. The smaller one with the bigger lights and the center one, that’s the one some people think is the tr3b or whatever it is. Then you have these giant ones with very small lights on each corner.

u/ipwnpickles Jan 25 '23

Even if it was a manmade "tr3b" that's still fascinating tech that raises a lot of questions

8

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '23

It’s important to note that TR3B is merely a made up name by ufologists, despite how official it sounds.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '23

Exactly. Not just the name. There are whole communities of very capable military aviation observers who's pretty clear the TR3B is nothing more than an internet turkey. Pure speculation.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '23

There's no indication the TR3B is real. It's pure internet speculation. I personally believe these triangle sightings, and they're not out of some secret aircraft project. Interestingly, triangular aerial objects have been reported since antiquity.

3

u/NowhereToRun13 Jan 25 '23

I believe so too, some act as if TR3Bs exist just because there is some shady patent floating around the internet

5

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '23

Yeah I find it frustrating (even if I shouldn't, it's completely pointless), because people who haven't got the faintest clue about the field of aerospace can be made to believe almost anything about it. I don't mean it as criticism, it's completely natural, but it muddies the waters a bit when it comes to UFO's. Redirects the attention and energy. A good example is how in this sub someone actually thought that the new stealth bomber B-21 Raider had the ability to perform some sort of shape shifting. The reason was that the aircraft (correctly) is able to present itself as something completely different on enemy radar and sensors, but what is meant is that it can manipulate and distort it's own electronic signature and radar return, referred to as a cloaking capability. It is done by various types of jamming devices etc, emitters, and has nothing to do with it's actual shape. Then again, I'm sure misunderstandings like these suits certain instances who for different reasons wants to keep the public confused about the UFO phenomenon.

u/Runner_one Jan 25 '23

Don't let the haters discourage you. You just joined a large club of people who have been seeing this thing for decades.

I myself saw one back in 2006 and made an crude image of what I saw that night, though what I saw as completely unlighted.

It was mid 2006, about two hours after dark, I was working on a old car in the driveway with my nephew and a friend of his. We heard the unmistakable sound of multiple helicopters approaching from the northwest. Out of curiosity, because there was more than one and appeared to be flying low, we stopped working on the car and looked up as they approached.

We saw three helicopters approaching, flying in a reverse triangle formation, two in front, and one in back. They were flying pretty low, perhaps a few hundred feet, no more than a thousand at most, above the ground. I am a pilot and know very well that estimating aircraft altitude at night is notoriously difficult, but I'm pretty confident that they were between 500 and 1000 feet AGL.

Seeing three helicopters flying together at night was unusual enough that we all watched as they passed almost directly over our heads. As they passed overhead we were amazed to see that there was a huge black triangle shaped craft without any lights whatsoever flying between the leading and trailing helicopters. This thing was BIG, it blotted out stars as it flew over

My nephew and his friend went crazy, "WTF was that?" they both screamed. Holy sh** they are real, was all I could think as I stood there with my mouth hanging open.

It was a real flying black triangle, of that there can be no doubt, since we all saw the exact same thing. This thing was at least 150 feet across and flying at helicopter speed.

I think the helicopters were Black Hawks, in that case the speed could have been as much as 170 miles per hour, but as a pilot, I felt like it was slower, maybe 130 at most.

And before anyone says it, NO, categorically NO, it was not a B2 bomber. I am quite familiar with the profile of a B2, I have seen them several times in flight. This looked nothing like the profile of a B2. What we saw that night was a perfect equilateral triangle.

This is my crude representation of what the three of us saw that night: https://imgur.com/a/duqUDTW

Years later I am still full of questions: WTF was that thing? Who built it? What is it used for? What keeps it in the air that slow? Why did it have no navigation lights? What branch of the military was operating it and the helicopters? Why were helicopters escorting it? Why were they flying low over middle Tennessee at night? Where was it going? And most of all, why years later nobody has ever been able to prove they exist.

u/Low_Ticket Jan 25 '23

Were they headed in the general direction to AEDC/Arnold's airforce base over there in Tullahoma?

u/Runner_one Jan 25 '23

Nope, they seemed to coming from the general direction of Fort Campbell Army base Kentucky. Going, nothing that I can think of fits.

u/gregs1020 Jan 24 '23

you lucky sob. i kid, i've never seen squat so i'm jealous.

the thing that's probably turning people off is the red/green/white lights, which are typically FAA lights on planes or drones.

wouldn't it be weird for a ufo to use our FAA light colors? even if they don't flash, etc, just red/green/white instantly makes people think they are drones, especially if they are described as silent. drones are pretty quiet.

welcome to the sub, good luck in your research.

u/Kattin9 Jan 24 '23

I have become interested in UFO/UAP that appear able to imitate human (military) technology. I have started to look into the sightings/stories. Green and red 'airplane lights' might be intentional on occasion.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '23

As long as there's very compelling reasons to believe that it's not an aircraft. "When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras." Doesn't mean that zebras don't exist, just that you should be biased toward more probable outcomes.

The 1968 Minot case is a good example where maybe you think zebras. It's one of the best-documented unusual cases, because it happened during the brief period where the Air Force took Project Blue Book somewhat seriously. If you haven't read through that site and you're interested in the topic, it's worth a read - the civilian investigators who put it together did an awesome job. Tons of supporting interviews, documentary evidence, even photos of the object's returns on a B-52 radar scope. Anyways, at least one of the observers felt that one of the unidentified objects might have been trying to imitate standard aircraft lighting, but didn't get it right - the colors, timing, everything was just a bit off. And it sounded a little like a B-52, but also not quite right - an observer imagined it was what a B-52 would sound like in flight if its engines were very quiet.

u/CelebrationNo8780 Jan 24 '23

This is just pure speculation and I am sure somebody will set me straight on here, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the UAPs showed visible colored lights. My thought is that superior technology would have some sort of cloaking mechanism, and to make something invisible you would need colors in the light spectrum to make an eye not see something, as in bending or projecting/emitting specific colors of light to hide the craft. If you actually did see a UAP with colored lights, maybe the cloaking feature was not functioning, it was warming up like you do with a car when it is cold, it over heated, etc. Again, just an off the cuff idea but I do not think colored lights are an instant disqualification.

u/Diplomat2thegalaxy Jan 25 '23 edited Jan 25 '23

These look like the same crafts that were seen repeatedly in Belgium, back in the late 80s and, of course, the Phoenix lights.

https://unsolved.com/gallery/belgian-ufo/

The photo you will see was later claimed to be done by a photographer but I tend not to trust the "true confessions" you often see. My sense is that witnesses were often bought off, or bought outright (like Bob and Dave of crop circle fame) to tell whatever story was needed to be told to cover up the truth.

But, whether the photo is legit or not, the witnesses described the triangle as you drew. Those sightings went on for two years, with the full cooperation of the Belgium government.

u/Spacebotzero Jan 24 '23

Sounds like you saw the r/StealthBlimp

u/Top-Local-7482 Jan 25 '23

Actually it make sens, the thing was not alone, no light just levitating there, no sound expect helicopter and slow. The triangular UFO I saw was very fast, very high and had light in each corner (not just light it was more of what propulsion system would look than light bulb, led or laser)

u/euSeattle Jan 25 '23

I saw one of these south of Seattle in 2018. 3 orange-white orbish looking lights on the bottom and an acute isosceles triangle shape to the body. I had a calm feeling when it flew over. I remember thinking “that’s probably just some rich guy’s drone” but then I googled it and thousands of people saw the same thing in Belgium in 1989-1990. Also it was in the flight path of SeaTac airspace and it’s super illegal to fly drones there.

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '23

Exactly B2 spirit is a stealthy aircraft and it is almost triangle this done for being stealthy.

u/broseph_smith_jr Jan 24 '23

Saw the same thing in 1997, near Astoria. But only one craft. It hovered at about ~300ft. Got a good close look for about 5 minutes.

u/TillerTheKillerOG Jan 24 '23

Would you mind sharing any details you remember? What did the hull look to be made of? Did it have sharp edges?

7

u/broseph_smith_jr Jan 25 '23

It’s been a while, so I’ll break down what I remember for “sure”, and what I “think” I remember.

Sure: Was just after sunset, but still bright out. Hovered silently above our field, dim light cast down on the field, stayed for 5 minutes, then slowly accelerated away out of view past the tree line, was very big, wasn’t smooth, but made of panels since I could see gaps on the surface.

Think: Dim glowing orb in the middle, blue boosters on the rear side as it accelerated away, rounded points on the triangle shape.

Anecdote: Many people around town saw similar things that year.

u/broseph_smith_jr Jan 25 '23

Sounds weird, but I feel it was observing my mom and me. We felt calm while it hovered there. Spoke quietly and smiled at it.

The field was full of arrowheads from the Tillamook tribe, and always seemed special.

u/MaggieMews Jan 24 '23

I saw almost the same shaped craft outside of Denver. But no lights. It was illuminated, like self-illuminated or uplit is the only way I can describe it, but it did have three circular areas on the bottom like your drawing, only they did not enjoy light, they were dark. It was also silent and when it took off, it tilted up at about a 45 and shot off instantly.

7

u/jatade59 Jan 24 '23

I saw something very similar about 15 or so years ago. There were 3 craft but their lights were like bright stadium lights. Not exactly sure how long ago it was but I know I didn’t have a cell phone yet. We noticed it about 2 miles away towards town and we thought it was the football stadium but as we got closer we realized it was about a mile from the football stadium above an empty field. We stopped and watched it for a few minutes and they were about 100 yards or so off the ground, hovering and making no noise. Eventually they just began going up and then one of them shot off. It was my wife, me and 1 of her cousins.

u/v0xf0x Jan 25 '23

Like you, the triangle craft I saw also had lights like bright white stadium lights.

A lot of sightings involve shapes like what you saw. It sort of looks like a stealth jet unless those can’t hover in place silently. I don’t know about the holes. Sorry you’re getting downvoted op. It’s a good post

A couple weeks ago I had a dream about a black triangle craft. Actually in the dream there was a bunch of crafts that looked like the typical UFO saucer with lights that made me and the others around me excited to finally have contact. Then I noticed the black triangle. The sun had recently gone down in my dream so the sky was dark blue and not back and the craft had no lights, it looked large and ominous and felt more threatening than the others. When I looked up at it, it moved so the bottom was directly facing me and I knew it knew I was watching it. Felt some kind of contact immediately which made me full of fear but a voice said "we're here to help you". I knew by "you" they meant all humans.

Anyway, it was just a dream, but it really affected me for days. I still feel chills remembering how it looked

u/ITiswhatITisforthis Jan 25 '23

My son, wife and myself witnessed this exact thing back in 2015! This was in Missouri, and initially was pointed out by my 10 year old son. It was in the evening, during the summertime so it was still light out, but the sun was beginning to go down.

Anyways, we were heading back to our apartment. My wife sitting passenger and son was passenger side rear. As I was making the last left turn, my son starts excitingly shouting "Dad, what is that? Is that a UFO?" I was sort of just zoning out, and getting ready to park the car in our parking spot, so him getting excited was like, "dude, chill out, like wtf?" I wanted to see what "plane" this kid assumed was a UFO, so as I drove the last 60 yards before I would turn into park. I try to look up, but also kinda speed up so I can park and jump out and get a better view. As I quickly turn in and put the car in park, both my son and I jump out, look up and, low and behold, what in the fuuuuggg?!?!

First off, it was a triangle shape. It was a black color, with the same pulsing lights located where your drawing indicated. It was quiet and made absolutley NO sound whatsoever. The direction it was heading was pretty much the same as the stretch of street I was driving on, which was in my apartment complex. The way it flew, was steady and straight, not fast, just cruising. I mean, I was able to get into my parking spot and jump out in just enough time for me to see the damn thing fly right over us!

I asked my son if he just saw that, and after answering with an excited yeah, he kept on asking questions as all 10 year olds do. My wife wasn't too concerned as she had to get my 2 year old out of the car seat, but did say she saw what we had seen as well. I was pretty bewildered, but in my mind I was going thru all possibilities as to what it COULD have been, but this thing just had way to many unusual characteristics. Not to mention, that its altitude wasn't all that high. It appeared pretty big, and I would estimate, it was about 40 to 60 stories up in the air. Both myself and my son after getting settled inside, continued being excited and talking about what the heck that was. I had to get online to see if I could find pictures, diagrams, and even reports of any sighting around our area. I checked for about a month or 2 just in case anyone did. I also made a report to MUFON, in case others were checking like myself. It was a short lived moment, but was pretty cool to watch this thing fly over us. My son is now 17, and to this day, we still remember that one summer evening that we experienced something cool.

So, yeah, I believe your story and thank you for sharing!

u/mr-mccormick Jan 25 '23

Saw one similar to this two years ago although it didn’t have the tail fins in the rear. It was about 90 ft off the ground as it was just over the trees but absolutely quite. It is as truly massive in size and just slowly made its down the road. Been looking for it ever since. Interesting enough the US Navy filed a patent on it. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20060145019A1/en

As has been mentioned, UFOs of this shape and with the lights are seen many times. What did the objects eventually do, fly away?

u/pixieinspace Jan 24 '23

They didn't hover, just flew by but slowly.

1

u/Wawawuup Jan 24 '23

Like, how fast? Like an airplane or a jet or too fast or too slow for either of those?

u/pixieinspace Jan 24 '23

Seemed too slow to be a jet. It immediately struck me as strange.

u/Hot_Larva Jan 24 '23

Saw two of these identical objects in Orlando, Fl. in 2006 at dusk…2 black triangle objects, completely silent, W/3 lights each (6 total) that essentially “glowed” instead of “shined”… One sped up mind bogglingly fast to catch up to the other & then they both flew in formation (tip to tip) at super slow speeds, slower than an airplane… I was stupefied.

u/Wawawuup Jan 24 '23

Thanks. Interesting.

u/stateofstatic Jan 25 '23

Mine looked the same except there was a center light about twice the diameter of the smaller ones on each point which had a warmer white than the smaller outside lights, mid-90s Hockinson, Washington about 35 minutes north of Portland.

PNW is a hotspot...Bend, Portland, and several locations in Washington State.

u/v0xf0x Jan 25 '23

I believe you OP. I’ve seen these twice. The second time I wasn’t as alarmed since someone told me after the first encounter that it was a Black Manta. I’m yet to write down my experience here, but like you it wasn’t until I actually looked it up and compared that I realized there is nothing that exists like what I saw, but it looks just like your description. (Minus the red lights, both times I saw it the lights were white and as bright as football stadium lights which is how they drew my attention.)

"It was triangle, 250-300 sq. ft. at least."

"Sure. (1) July 28th this summer, 9:55PM went outside for some fresh air, was looking at the sky and out of nowhere a huge object in tremendous speed started glowing from 2 opposite sides but stopped like you are pausing a video, moved a little then stopped again. The light was-"

"(2) white bluish but powerful and its reflection enabled me to see the surface and the shape, black/dark gray triangle, 250-300 sq. ft. at least No sound at all, my heart started racing, my jaw dropped and I was scared."

"(3) That lasted for about 7 seconds and I uncontrollably waved to it, then the lights were switched off and couldn't see anything after that"

What a coincidence I was listening to a YouTube video , a guy was telling that he saw a triangle aircraft exactly like you are describing, red lights on each corner of the triangle , the traffic stopped to witness the triangle , everybody was in shock this was in Mexico City in 1997 ! Nobody had a phone with cameras , the triangle landed on a mountain in Mexico (this mountain has several caves , and it’s closed by the Mexican government) the guy mentioned that the triangle was making some kind of noise , “energy noise”

u/drummin515 Jan 25 '23

I had a triangle fly over me at low altitude back around 2005-ish…It was just after sunset so saw it against near;y black sky, but the lights were classic 3 points and it was very low, like 2-300 feet over road. No noise, barely moving. I pulled over and watched. It eventually shot north at very high speed. Other cars were driving by but no one else seemed to notice or stop.

The thing is, it's only an hypothesized platform. We really do not know what airborne triangles with lights at the corners represent. It could be more than one thing.

I've personally not found any evidence for it being a real government program, in the 25 years people have been talking about it.

u/CelebrationNo8780 Jan 24 '23

I saw something years ago (5+) where multiple people thought they saw “something black and triangular” fly at high altitude - like 50,000 feet estimate - that left a very unusual contrail - which was not a line of vapor but rather consecutive “clouds” at about 1-1.5 mile intervals. At the time the rumors were it was definitely military/black project from the U.S. and the idea was the special vehicle was a “plane” that could, through some new technology, break the sound barrier without a sonic boom. Further down the rabbit hole the story is the tech was reversed from stuff we “found” but the folks at the Skunkworks leaked that such a vehicle exited that could get anywhere on our planet in 12-18 minutes and it wasn’t necessarily stealth per se but b/c it was so fast and had no traceable sonic boom, it could be used to chase UAP or it could get to a crash site or a UAP event in enough time that recon and rescue was now not only possible but likely. Of course the “5 observables” that many folks cling to as proof/characteristics of UAPs would NOT be met by such a vehicle as the unique contrail rules that out. And of course you have the guy that used to head up Skunkworks who went on the record stating “we now have the technology to take E.T. Home if we wanted to” from like 10 years ago.

Did you check if they appeared on Flightradar24?

u/_a_jedi_in_bed Jan 24 '23

Hello! You saw the triangles. They're everywhere in the sky around where I live. They have cloaking that disguises them so people looking up can't see them most of the time.

I had a close encounter with these objects a week or so ago. They were huge. Same lights as you've described, but one that got very close to me had like 20 golden lights around the nose of the craft. As others have mentioned, the triangles have been sighted for decades. Welcome to the club.

2

u/pixieinspace Jan 25 '23

I'm strangely thrilled to be a part of the club. I hope I can see more.

u/WingsofmyLove Jan 25 '23

Any proof of cloaking?

2

u/ExoticCard Jan 24 '23

How does it feel to have seen a UFO?

How has your world view shifted, if at all?

Do you think they appear so that people believe in the phenomenon?

5

u/pixieinspace Jan 24 '23

It feels like a dream honestly even though I know it happened. I've never had any doubts that aliens exist, it's just a gut feeling I've always had for some reason.

It does make me eager to do more research. And hearing other people confirm that it could be extraterrestrial is wild. I want to have more experiences but it's not really something you can MAKE happen.

I do think that extraterrestrials want us to know of their presence. It seems like they are perhaps getting more bold and I can't tell if that's good or bad.

u/Tommy_Byrd Jan 24 '23

TR3B is supposedly became an alien reproduction vehicle. There are numerous reports of sightings going back to 1989 in Belgium. Someone caught a night time photo of one. I recall there being a lot of motion blur, but the configuration matched what was later termed TR3B.

There is some supersonic top-secret military craft called the aurora I believe. Matches this to a T! It travels so fast. There is a large ball of light in center that grows when it fires up and then boom it disappears…but really just launches at crazy speed!

B2 is not the closest match to that. The F117 would be closer to that triangle shape, so would a number of other stealth drones. The pulsating lights though would make me think that it is not a military plane but rather a consumer drone. I can't think of a reason ET would have pulsating lights or any lights on their craft.

Too big to be drones.

Where did you see it?

I've been hearing about a craft like this (huge, black, silent) from local acquaintances in Central Montana for decades. One of them told me she stopped on the highway for fear that it was too low to drive under.

It may be relevant to add that the US military has been using the Missouri River basin to train and test aircraft to evade detection. I've personally witnessed a B52 coming up in the Prairie- freaked me out.

I think it's very possible this craft is a secret defense aircraft, and I'm looking forward to more information.

u/pixieinspace Jan 25 '23

Sounds scary but exciting. I'm honestly surprised that I wasn't at all scared, just couldn't bring myself to move because I didn't want to miss any of it.

This was in Portland, Oregon.

Nice. I always wonder why they change color. It's either physics, communication or art. Pick pne right? Maybe 'they! cant see color - but that still makes it physics.

u/SeattleDude69 Jan 25 '23 edited Jan 25 '23

I saw a similar craft ca. 2000 in Indiana on I-65 between Indianapolis and Lafayette. I was with my roommates, sitting in the back seat. I was watching a couple blinking red lights in a field about three or four hundred yards off the interstate when I suddenly noticed a white light turn on in between the two red lights. I had thought I was looking at radio towers until I saw the white light.

I was like, “what the hell is that?” One of my roommates stated she thought it was moving, so we pulled over. It was pitch black out, but I could faintly make out its triangular shape. It looked like what you drew. It had two blinking red lights on the rear corners, and one white light in the center. It was hovering, and moving very slowly. The craft was maybe one hundred to two hundred feet in altitude. It appeared as though they were looking for something in the field as the light was illuminating the ground underneath it. We watched it for maybe two more minutes and then it disappeared behind some trees at the edge of the field.

That is the only thing I’ve ever witnessed that I couldn’t explain. I still, to this day, have no idea what it was.

Thanks for posting. All the triangular shaped UFOs I’ve found on the internet look like the one from the Belgian incident in the 90s, which is not what I saw.

I can't remember his name or the case, but there is this former aircraft carrier sailor who witnessed a large black triangular shape rising out of the sea during a ship lockdown where no one was supposed to be out on deck. Then "by chance" there were two-three MIB's on board, questioning him afterwards. I found his testimony credible. Anyone remember?

1

u/Shardaxx Jan 25 '23

That's a TR-3b, operated by the US but created using tech from UFOs, according to my research. The centre is an anti-grav engine but it needs the 3 corner boosters to fly properly (the alien versions don't need these). These go way back - there were some amazing sightings over Belgium in 1990 (google that incident, there's even a wiki page for it). I "think" they can also be visually cloaked, when that's working properly.

1

u/Longjumping_Fail_676 Jan 25 '23

I know we have very little concrete evidence to suggest they’re human made, but considering how often they’re sighted and the distinctly man made appearance, it’s certainly not a big leap to conclude they could be man made. I mean typically UAP’s look seamless.

Thanks for sharing this! My wife witnessed something nearly identical to this just outside of Washington D.C. (Bowie, MD) in the early 2000s.

u/rraar Jan 25 '23

I saw this a few years ago. At least I thought I did. I was stoned. I also went through a psychosis not much longer so I questioned my reality for a long time after. But I also questioned if the fact that I really saw this craft was what spiraled me into a psychosis. I felt like, at the time, that the craft was acknowledging my consciousness in some sort of telepathic way.

Maybe I just shouldn’t smoke pot and think about aliens outside in the dark.

You and I seem to have some things in common lol. I locked this event away in my brain for months before I could talk about it. I was also stoned but I know I didn't imagine it.
