Two new California cases from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database describe what appears to be the same silent, black, triangle UFO on August 12, 2010, according to recent testimony.

A frequent comment when witnesses report the black triangle-shaped UFO is that if you weren't looking for it, most people on the ground would never notice the object hovering above. Like many others, the second witness makes the same case.

In MUFON Case # 25082, the witness reports a "huge triangle of 5 lights with one additional light in front. The lights were faint, and did not flash. The object seemed to be moving quickly, and after a few seconds, was lost from sight. While the sighting did not last long, the witness made an attempt to sketch the object, and to determine size - estimating that it was three-quarter of an inch to one inch wide - and an inch to an inch and-a-half long.

In MUFON Case # 25097, the witness offers extensive description of the object, including the following observations:

"The motion of the craft was a hovering, at times nearly motionless, at others sort of what I can only describe as sloppy. The craft was utterly silent. Based on a visual observation of an occasional faint purple-blue/black plasma like haze misting over the bottom and edges of the craft, I had the impression it was airborne via some type of field it generated."

"At times it tilted, raised, lowered, scooted forward, scooted straight backwards, all with equal but imperfect dexterity. At one point it seemed to move a bit out of the way of a passing plane which made me wonder what the pilot of the plane thought or if they saw it at all."

"It was a rather sharp triangle like a slice of pizza (though not curved in what I assume is the aft part of the craft). It lacked a central light or lights around the edges. Only the light in front and the dimmer lights in the rear. I saw 2 lights in the rear portion at most times but occasionally the nose would tip up enough that I had the suggestion of perhaps more lights on the back as well that perhaps I could have seen from another angle. It was matte black on all visible portions as far as I could tell but the craft was at some distance from me which I will try and give details about below. It seemed to be thin from top to bottom which gave it a nearly 2 dimensional quality, like a puppeteer had a paper plane on strings from above."

"The object's size is tough to say, except that it was clearly quite large given how high up it must have been."

"It moved in ways utterly unlike any aircraft I am aware of and it was too high in altitude and too large to be an object tethered to the ground. It seemed to be on some type of slippery surface that it had to balance on just right to hover motionless or else sudden clumsy adjustments had to be made to maintain its position, and it seemed to bob a bit like a cork on the ocean."

"It was almost as if it was trying to see how many people would take note if it sat there for hours... or maybe it's pilot just didn't care either way at all."

The following are links to the the unedited and as yet uninvestigated reports filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If California MUFON investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

CA, August 12, 2010 - Silent, "large", triangular outline of lights in the sky (5 lights in shape of triangle with 1 light in front of the triangle). MUFON Case # 25082.

CA, August 12, 2010 - Hovering black triangle for 90+ minutes, Observed extensively but at high altitude during Perseid Meteor Shower. MUFON Case # 25097.
