After a moment of confusion, I realized they were being obscured by something massive. The craft was so dark that I could only discern its shape by the stars it blocked out as it moved. I managed to focus on it and saw an enormous triangle-shaped object about 300 yards away. As it came closer\u2014about 150 yards away\u2014I noticed the pointed end facing forward in the direction of its movement, traveling at roughly 45 mph.  <\/p>\n<p>As it passed by, the only sound I picked up was a faint &#8220;whooshing&#8221; noise, which might have just been the air displacement caused by its size. When the rear came into view, I noticed three dim amber lights or vents\u2014it&#8217;s hard to say which\u2014no other lights were visible anywhere else on the craft. It followed the highway at about 500 feet in altitude until it disappeared from sight.  <\/p>\n<p>There were no lights underneath or on the tips of the triangle. The object was enormous, darker than anything I\u2019d ever seen, and almost completely silent. If I hadn&#8217;t been paying close attention, I probably wouldn\u2019t have even noticed the sound it made as it passed by.  <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the whole encounter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nClose Encounter: Black Triangle Sighting, 2004 Date: July 13, 2004 Time: Approximately 12:00 AM Location: Denver, Colorado Conditions: Cool and clear night I reported this experience to MUFON back then, but I never received a response.
