2001-09-11 - Nashville, TN - Triangle

Silent black triangle moving slowly in urban environment

This occurred while I was in college. While 9/11 was a traumatic event for everybody, I was not personally connected with the tragedy and was not overly emotionally distraught. I also was not under the influence of any alcohol or drugs.

Shortly after nightfall, I was walking to a parking garage at the corner of West End and 21st Avenue. A large black triangle, no lights, moved from west to east over West End.

It was traveling very slowly. No noise. It was a cloudy evening with low cloud ceiling, and could not have been more than 2 or 3000 feet in elevation. The object appeared to be massive, and was pitch black in color and clearly silhouetted against the light glare from the streetlights on the clouds.

The sighting was associated with a feeling of dread. I lingered on the street corner for around half an hour after the object had left and did not see any other UFO. I did not tell anybody at the time because it seemed crazy; I remember speculating that it might be defense related given the events of the day.
