Triangular formations over Anaheim, CA
I was looking up towards the North Star, all of sudden I saw two formations of lights (about 15 in each), in triangle formations. After a few seconds they changed formation into one large triangle, and one object was acting like a rover circling the whole triangle, then it added itself on to the formation, and they dissapeared into the distance. They were at a very high altitude. I have never seen anything like this or reported anything in my life. I come from a family of fighter pilots and airline pilots, I have been around all kinds of planes and airshows my whole life. The speed and manueverability of these objects was something I haven't seen before. If anyone else witnessed the same formations I would like to know. They were flying directly Southbound away from North star. This happened in Anaheim, CA at 21:00 on 12/04/01.

Thankyou,
((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness, and he sounded quite level-headed and sincere to us. We suspect that his report has no relationship to the sighting from Santa Ana/Garden Grove from the same date, but two hours earlier. Apparently, the movement of the objects was quite uncharacteristic of migratory birds, aircraft, or any other phenomenon the witness is familiar with. The witness identified himself as being a private pilot. PD))
