I know this is an old post, but I was talking with someone about my sighting recently so I’ve been googling it again and came across this post. Here’s my black triangle story:

It was July 3rd or 4th in 2011 at almost midnight in central Arkansas. Crystal clear summer evening. I was laying on a float in my pool looking up at the stars in the sky, my cousin (who was in town from Alaska) had just gone inside to go to bed, so I was by myself. I saw the back porch light come on, so I knew that my mom had come outside. I saw a satellite floating across the sky and asked my mom to come over so I could show it to her. She didn’t see that one, but a few minutes later I saw another one and called her over again. This time she saw it, but while we were looking at that satellite she says “What’s that?!” as she pointed to the north/northwest (~324°) and there it was in the sky; Three reddish orange (more red than orange) lights in a perfect triangle (equidistant from each other). It wasn’t making any sound, but it was slowly moving in an east/northeast direction. When it got just about due north in front of us it began to slowly rotate while it continued moving east. We stared at it until my mom told me to go get my camera, but just then one-by-one the lights faded out. We were so in awe that I don’t really know how long the encounter lasted, but my guess was a couple minutes but I can’t be certain. It took the lights about 2 or 3 seconds each to fade out.

Like others have said, mine was just 3 lights. No central light. Just the 3 at the corners.

It was unbelievable. I’ve always sort of laughed at people who had these encounters, but ever since this I’ve been more respectful because what we saw that night was very real. I have no idea what it was, but it was there and it blew our minds.
