I Recently Saw Your Article On Space.Com On The 'Flying Triangle'. This Picture Rendering From A Graphic Artist Who Was Married To The Woman That Saw This Really Disturbed Me. About 14 Or 16 Years Ago (I'M 28 Now) I Was Sitting On The Front Porch Of My Grandfather'S House. We Were Enjoying The Sunset/Dusk Sky. All Of A Sudden Two Objects Appeared In Front Of Us Just Above The Road Which Was About 15 To 20 Feet In Front Of Us. I Can'T Remember If They Dropped From The Sky Or If They Just Appeared But There They Were. I Think They Were Black, But I Do Know They Were Hovering Above The Ground Maybe 15 To 30 Feet, And Spinning. I Could Tell They Had A Bubble Like Top With An Edge And Multi-Colored Lites Around The Edge. I Remember Standing And Staring Asking My Grandfather What We Should Do. He Told Me To Just Stay Of The Porch. The Objects Hovered There For A Few Minutes, Then They Began To Move Very Slowly Down The Street. He Lived At The Top Of A Hill, So The Objects Hovered The Same Height Above The Road Down The Hill. When They Got To The Bottom Of The Hill, They Shot Off Into The Sky With Great Speed And Disappeared. I Ran Inside To Tell My Grandmother About It. I Also Remember Seeing Something On The News About The Sightings. Apparantly Some People Had Reported It To The News. Until Now I Have Just Told A Few People About My Experience, And Put It In The Back Of My Mind As Something That Happened To Me When I Was Younger. When I Saw The Rendering By The Graphic Artist In The Above -Linked News Article From Space.Com My Mouth Dropped Open. That Rendering Is Exactly What I Saw !! I Don'T Know If This Means Anything To You, But I Felt That I Should Tell You About It.
