Description of event/sighting: Sorry to be fuzzy on the exact date, but it was
along time ago and after our encounter we came into the house and each drew our
rendition of what we saw. I'm in the process of looking for our drawings from
that night.
The
reason we were out in the yard at that hour was it was supposed to be one of
the best nights in decades to see meteor showers. We weren't disappointed and
had some long colorful shooting stars fill up the sky as we laid on sleeping
bags in our backyard (actually on the driveway for the clearest view).
My
husband was getting frustrated because he kept missing the awesome ones I was
seeing because he had been looking the other way. This went on a few times
until finally he said tell me exactly where you're looking and I'll look there
too.
All
of a sudden from our far left (east facing direction) we saw a dark shape in
the sky. It was a triangle of sorts with a bit of a curve to the shape. Our two
drawings did not totally match the outer shape, but the body.
What
did match was the fact that there were perfectly round holes going across the
body of this thing in rows. The object was black but the holes looked even
darker in color, it moved quite slowly straight across the sky and made no
noise what-so-ever.
We
both exclaimed, "what the heck is that" and watched it go across our
sight line and disappear behind the roof of the house. We probably watched it
for about 10 seconds and were not able to figure out how high it was or how big
it was because there was nothing to compare it too.
If
there had been a sound it might have helped us gauge how high up it was. If it
was a toy of some kind it still would have made a sound. We were completely
blown away and happy that both of us had seen because we knew no one would
believe it.
I
called our local observatory the following day hoping others had seen it and
there was an explanation, but they politely told me to chalk it up to a unique
experience.
We've
never forgotten this and have never seen anything else unusual in our lives,
but reading an article on you in our local paper today and seeing the reference
to a triangle object made me want to write and share our story. It would sure
be nice to know what this thing was.
Take
care and thanks for letting me share.
Thank
you to the witness for the excellent report.
