2022-07-23 - folsom, LA - Delta

Saw an object disappear and instantly reappear further away multiple times, got closer and saw that it was a delta with 3 lights.

At approximately 11:03 pm on Saturday July 23rd, my wife and I were returning from the gym in Folsom to our home. While southbound on hwy 25, my wife remarked on an object that appeared at first to be a star, but said it was moving very fast and asked "what is that?"

Looking through the windshield I observed what appeared to be the same object, and thought it possessed the physical appearance of a bright star. It was moving westward, and seemed to be bouncing up and down, and would disappear and reappear further away. There were a few times where the object seemed to fade out of one place and appear far away at the same instant. The light appeared to blinking in a somewhat rhythmic fashion, gradually dimming out completely and then reappearing further away at a rate of one blink every two seconds.

While watching it I judged it at first to be extremely far away, but noticed that it appeared to be moving in a manner that would be consistent with a lower altitude (the object appeared over our heads as we drove underneath it, and it seemed to get higher as we got closer), and I would say it was around 200-400m high. From there I would say we noticed it about one to two miles away.

After judging it to be fairly close, it went behind a treeline. We continued straight down the highway, and we both became excited asking each other what we thought it was. When we got underneath where it appeared to pass, I rolled the window down and looked out west. I saw, very clearly, three bright lights in a tight triangle. It appeared to be directly over a field and someones home. The color of the light had changed to a more blue/LED color, but was still pulsing at the same rate as the other light. It did not disappear and reappear at this time. It dimmed and grew in intensity but remained visible. I looked around for any other lights but did not see any. The triangle shape of the lights was very apparent. We continued down the highway at speed and I quickly lost sight. The encounter lasted 2-4 minutes.
After this we were so astonished that we passed up our home. I checked the clock to verify the time, and turned around several miles down the road and returned home. On our driveway, we stopped to observe another very bright light that was behaving very differently. It passed overhead at which point we could tell it was definitely a jet plane. It was very loud and bright, and we could make out the green and red position lights. The other object made no sound, was not as bright, had no color position lights, and was fading in and out and constantly changing its flight path. The jet was on a static course. The object seemed to be on a carousel.

I am a 27 years old controls electrician. I install and program Siemens controls products. I do not drink or take drugs and have never claimed to have seen strange things. I am a very skeptical person, and am not religeous. I do not know what I saw, and am very interested to hear if anyone else saw anything that night.

My wife is 30 years old and has her Bachelors degree in applied nursing sciences. She is also a very skeptical person who does not drink or take drugs and is not given to fanciful ideas. She does not like to talk about the sighting.
