Triangular shaped ship seen flying at low altitude across southern Terre Haute, Indiana
Yes I had just gotten home from work and my girlfriend had just left when I went out on my back patio to do some star gazing. I must have been starring up into the sky do south looking for anything such as meteorites, constellations, I had been scanning the southern sky for about 20 minutes when I suddenly realised that there was a patch of the sky that was starless. At first I didnt recognise anything beyond that until I watched that area a few more seconds when this very large triangular ship materialized right in front of me. Its hard to explain but it was like-cloaked in such a way that at first you could stare right at it you wouldnt see it but when I focused on it I could easily see it. This craft was very close. Estimate size 200ft. I would estimate 60 yards away. Light eminated from it as if it had a low glow to it. No specific lights only the craft itself was lightly ablase. This led me to believe that its stealth quality was do to its ambient light equal to the light from the stars and street lights. Anyway I could make out the ships color which was a light brown or tan similar to the camoflage color used in the Military for desert combat. It was in a position gaining altitude at least a 45 degree angle and yaued left pitch where I had a good view of its top surface but not its bottom. It was perfectly silent as it moved gracefully and slowly at first. Estimate 20 mph. Then the higher it got and further from my position it picked up incredible speed. It winked out of vision withen a few seconds heading in a due southerly direction. I was able to make out some details in the ships design such as rounded edges and the triangular shape was very slightly ovate in that it had a slight concave curve to its over-all body. It appeared very high tech and what I would expect to see in our own technology withen a few hundred years.
