After a moment of confusion, I realized that something was blocking them. It was so dark that the only way I noticed it was by the stars that disappeared behind it. I finally focused in on it, about 300 yards away, and there it was\u2014a massive, triangle-shaped craft. At that point, it was just 150 yards away, with its pointed end facing forward and moving at around 45 mph.<\/p>\n<p>As it glided past, the only sound I heard was a faint &#8220;whooshing,&#8221; likely caused by the air displacement, as it was enormous. Once the back of the craft came into view, I noticed three very dim amber lights or exhaust vents\u2014it&#8217;s hard to say which. There were no lights anywhere else on the craft. It seemed to follow the highway at approximately 500 feet in altitude until it vanished from sight.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t observe any lights underneath or at the tips of the triangle. It was immense, darker than anything I had ever seen, and virtually silent. If I hadn\u2019t been watching it so closely, I might not have even noticed the \u201csound\u201d it produced as it passed by, but my senses were heightened at that moment.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s the whole story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nClose Encounter with a Black Triangle, 2004 Date: July 13, 2004, around midnight Location: Denver, Colorado Weather: Cool and clear I reported this sighting to MUFON at the time but never received a response.
