The Object was a Black, Slender Triangular Prism with two pulsating orb lights on the exterior,
& one Sunburst Orange / Red fixed in the centre. It was moving slowly to be at an altitude _ est. of 5-15k
& it was completely silent. Its duration of flight above me, lasted atleast 5-7 minutes. long enough to smoke a
Marlboro: Virginia Blend 100.
It was Flying what appeared to be from Kentucky to the Tri City intersection of N.c Or T.n , depending on itscourse.
But I heard a sighting similar of a triangle, was spotted later last night in Michigan.
It may of been the same one. But Ill draw up some pictures as reference of what I saw. etc.
(There was a sighting also proclaimed on the same evening, in Michigan of similar complexions. you can find it on the recent updates on [Link moved to FI section/cms/tg], I also left my account under their listings)
The picture(s) i.e below, will help explain the projectory of the object, as well as the way it was viewed.
It resembled the constellation: Cepheus , in a triangular prism shape.
but, as its 2nd pass over me, (or second frame) more or less 3-5 minutes into looking at it.
it passed into a thick formation of clouds, (in which the surrounding clouds with brighter brilliance of lights illuminated from the Sun burst color orange/ red center light, and the two orbish lights on the back) and city lights from the nearest town (Pennington) could be viewed in a dew.
glowing along the horizon where the mountains werent as prominent.
during its second cycle it looks to go slightly pass what appears to be the constellation Miro, at the ending
stretch of Cetus, but the lights from the cluster of stars were blurry and vague, so its hard to tell.
as well, Im not certain if the constellation appears on the North West Hemisphere in the winter solstice.
Im thinking I seen the Big dipper or major Ursta to the right of it. once again, only basing this off of my recolection of yesterday evening.
