Toronto Canada- Triangle shaped object with lights and beam of light

I was walking down a busy downtown street and I observed a very loud buzzing noise in the air directly above me. I looked up and saw a very large triangle shape that was lit up by hundreds of small lights around the outside of the craft. I looked around to see if anybody else was witnessing what I was seeing but there was nobody around me except for the people in their cars on the street. The triangle formation was too tight to be a formation of planes, at no point did the lights move from oneanother or separate from their formation. I saw a smaller cluster of lights on the bottom of the craft and in the middle of the triangle. The cluster of lights began to flash and spin around in circles. At that time I saw a brighter light shining out from the smaller cluster of lights that were flashing. A beam of light very similar in size to a spot light began to shin down towards the ground. It was very unusual but the beam of light did not touch the ground, it stopped about 20 or 30 feet above the ground. I could not figure out why the light was not touching the ground but you could see where exactly the beam stopped. then after about a minute of watching this,it (the ufo) tilted upward and took off straight up into the sky from a dead stop where I saw it. Within less that a second the triangle was gone. As it took off there was a very faint streak of what looked like flames coming from the back of the ufo. This was not seen by anybody else that I asked on the street and I placed a call to the police and asked if they had recieved any calls about it but they said that they did not. I hope that this story helps to figure out what kind of visitors we are having in our atmosphere. Thanks, Name withheld
