The cl oud was stationary in the sky, and - stated it looked very strange, as if it was pixel ated or distorted in some other manner . As he watched the cloud, he saw a constant, diffuse red light on the bottom front point of a solid b l ack triangular shaped object corning out of the c l oud towards the south, southeast.
