I guess it was probably a TR3B, nothing special, but I'd like to share what I saw anyway.

You must be kidding or something, he said BRIGHT LIGHTS not narrow lights.
No plane emits bright lights like the explaned exerpt on a camera with lots of distortion.

I am going to guess, that what you saw is an MD-80 class aircraft heading north from the Miami area. The description seems to fit, the drawing certainly fits, and they can be pretty quite when at 10K feet, especially in a moving car which is making noise. MD-80/DC-9 type aircraft are responsible for a large number of your “Black Triangle” sightings.

So, the consesus here is that there is no TR3B?

An MD-80 at 10,000 ft would not have large circular lights as reported by the witness. They would be nothing but faint pinpoints of lights. As you can see from the drawing in the opening post, the diameter of the lights make up a noticeable proportion of the triangle's area - they are actually circular and not simply pinpoints.

This is wholly consistent with other sightings of flying black triangles over the years

The notion that these UFOs are MD80 are crazy.

I don't recall seeing any of those minor lights.

Also it seemed slow, which I guess doesn't mean a whole lot.

If anything it was leaving PBI, which was 20 to 30 miles away.

Would the lights be one for the lights to be on that long?

I hate to doubt my girlfriend when she says she saw a triangular physical object, not just the lights.
The loudest engines are the older ones, doubly so if they have a cowling patch which makes a loud ripping, or ringing noise as the blades pass over it.
