Triangle UFOs take the April prize as the most popularly reported shape - with 27 cases in 15 states, according to non-scientific results from UFO Traffic Reports.

Most UFO Traffic Report cases come from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON ) database, with just a few original reports coming directly from witnesses. All reports are classified as to the object's shape, and sometimes, that's a hard task to tackle.

In some cases, witnesses might use several key words - like they saw a V-shaped triangular UFO. And if you look at photos or sketches of the chevron or V-shaped craft, compare it to triangle craft, and again with boomerang craft - you will often see similarities. Some of my reports get a double classification - so you might see the same headline link listed under triangle, again under V-shape, and in some few instances - a third designation - like large size or morphing shape.

One additional point to keep in mind, the MUFON cases that I write about are selected cases - meaning that I do not necessarily report on every case. Some cases were obviously filed as a joke, a few go places that don't seem to make sense, and there are occasional reports that are just too vague and I discount those.

MUFON may be the largest UFO reporting agency on the planet, but it's not the only place to report a UFO. Peter Davenport operates the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) out of Washington state and takes in probably the second highest number of reports. And there are other, smaller, reporting bodies scattered across the country. Additionally, more April reports may be coming as witnesses file them.

With all of that in mind, there were 27 reports of triangle UFOs, up from 19 reports in March. A close second is the Bright Light classification with 25 April reports, down from 45 March reports. And coming in third were 23 April reports of round, circular or disc-shaped objects, down from 25 March reports.

You can read all of the April triangle sightings at the UFO Traffic Report's triangle page or browse through the various other shapes at the main page.
