Morphing Triangle
It was abeautiful autumn day. I was sitting on a second story balcony of my then apartment which I shared with my then girlfriend. The balcony faces west. Approximately at sunset or thereabouts. The Sun was large, nearing but still above the horizon. Brilliant deep yellow and Orange in color. Suddenly the Sun appeared to change in shape from it's known 'round' to a Triangular shape. At the same time the color changed from the yellow/orange to a silvery metallic color. The Triangle appeared and disappeared a number of times. This was if you were looking directly at a perfect triangle. It did not rotate, bank or otherwise indicate any motion laterally, vertically or otherwise.
Just a perfect triangle where the sun had been. When it reappeared however the triangle was inverted, with the tip, or point at the bottom. This disappearance and reappearance happened approximately 2 or 3 times. Then as suddenly as it had appeared, it was gone and the Sun was back as though nothing had happened. There was no disturbance or change to the emitted light in the sky. There was no sound associated with this occurance. The distance to the observed object 'Triangle' is impossible to say due to it's apparent morphing with the Sun.
I had called for my girlfriend to hurry and come see what I was seeing but she wasn't interested and so did not witness.
