2007-10-25 - Defiance, OH - Triangle

Triangular craft silently moving through the air above me and past me.

I was driving home after driving over to the north side of town to pick something up. I was less than half a mile from my house, coming up towards my turn off when I saw something in the sky that looked like a low airplane coming in on final approach at an airport, that's how low it was. It had to be no more than a few hundred feet in the air.

I turned off at my usual turn, and I could see this thing was low so I pulled over at a clearing where there weren't any trees around, parked, and got out. This thing, from what I could tell from the lights, was shaped like a triangle. There were two lights on the bottom of it at the front, one at the back at the point of the triangle, and then a blinking red light about 3/4 of the way back on it.

I was looking up thinking it was an airplane or a helicopter (when I was pulling over and getting out), but there was something wrong. This thing slowly passed literally right over me, but there was not a single sound coming from it. It was almost like it was just slowly seamlessly gliding through the air. From as low as this thing was, there should have been the sounds of an engine or something if it was a helicopter or a plane. And it sure wasn't coming in for a landing because the nearest airport was about 5 miles SW of where I was and this thing was traveling N-NE.

I watched it until I had just gotten past me and then I jumped back into my car and turned around because I wanted another look at this thing. I got back onto the road I had just turned off of, but this thing was nowhere to be found. I looked all over in the sky in the direction it was going in as well as all around in every direction and there was nothing. No white lights, no red blinking light, nothing. Just the moon and stars.

I drove for a little bit longer trying to find it again but couldn't find a single sign of it. After I couldn't find it again, I gave up and came back home.
