hi all,
was just surfing around the net reading up on 'flying triangles' and found your site. consequently thought i'd drop you a line.
i saw one of these triangles in 1995 a little before christmas when i was at university in staffordshire. it was about 7:30 at night, i'd been in
the library working on an essay (so not drunk or stoned or anything) and i was making my way home. walking along i spotted a guy by the side of the
road staring back over the library building. drawing level with him he noticed me and told me to look up into the sky. this is what i saw:
a triangular shaped solid object with faint lights at each corner and a slightly bigger brighter light in the middle. along the body it was blacker
than black - so at a glance it looked like a perfectly regular shape cut into a dark background. it was hard to tell exactly how big it was but at
rough approx', on such a clear winter night, i'd have said at least fighter plane sized or much larger. it was 'chunky' through the middle,
totally silent and it moved like nothing i'd seen before or since. it could spin like a gyroscope, turning gracefully across each axis, before
stopping dead, accelerate forwards and backwards at eye-blurring speed and halt without any noticeable inertia, spin slowly in level circles or
disturbingly just hang there in the air. all in all it was actually kind of beautiful. i'd also describe it as graceful and very elegant.
anyway, i watched it for a while until it accelerated away and vanished out of sight. the following are a list of questions i've thought about a lot
since.
what kind of propulsion system did it have?
how was it managing to casually defy physics?
if it was a top secret platform, why was it flying visibly over stoke???
did a local journo who saw it too, sometime later, and had a classic ufo exp' (car cutting-out as the thing floated overhead in the countryside at
night) ever follow-up on the story?
and why do these damn things always happen to me?*
i've since spoken to nick cook about it (i also used to work at jane's) and he expressed envy that i'd seen it. for myself i'm simply a bit
irritated. being the kind of person who likes explanations i want answers and i'm annoyed i haven't got any. for example, i've read-up on the kind
of paint that may be on the 'triangle' (anti-radar stuff that is the blackest substance on earth), the kind of propulsion it may have used
(everything from anti-grav - possibly developed by the nazi's - through to completely silent rockets) and even considered that it might be aliens
buzzing the planet (and on that point the jury may never come back in). still, there's nothing certain in any direction. so god dammit! i feel like
a low-rent richard dreyfuss sans the homemade tower of mashed spuds.
one thing i do know, however, is that these triangular shaped objects are real, they are not flights of fancy and if you've seen one you're probably
not a nutbar. i'm as certain they exist as i am that paris exists, as i saw that too--only on that occasion i got photographs.
best wishes,
jon
*to note: i also managed to see ball lightning with a friend, one morning 19 years ago, when it was still a 50/50 bet that the phenomena even existed
(at 2am it managed to blow a chimney off a house, was heard for 5 miles around and was eventually reported in the national press...on a completely
storm free night). i've also experienced what may or not be genuine parapsychological phenomena in chingle hall in lancashire while i was busy
scoffing at an entirely credulous, ghost-believing couple who'd dragged me there (let's just say it was a sort of physical assault from something
unseen and leave it at that) and also i've experienced 4 occasions when i've had direct probability stretching precognition and telepathy. now as a
would-be rationalist this kind of thing is depressing. sometimes i think the universe is just trying to drive me nuts...
