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.
The object
behind the point became wider and l arger as it exited the c l oud until
saw the entire equilateral triangular object with a red light in each of the
three corners.
-
estimated the triangle UAP was very l arge and coul d
have been as large as the parking l ot in whi ch he was standing. He estimated
the UAP was the equivalent of 3- 5 stories in thickness.
Based upon
memory, at arm's l ength, each of the three lights on the triangle UAP was
the size of a fingernail .
Initially the UAP was moving south and slightl y east at a steady speed
comparabl e to a hel icopter .
-
believed the UAP was at an altitude of
3000-5000 feet, comparable to small civilian aircraft in training f l ights.
It then almost instantaneously accel erated to possibl y Mach 1 or 2 and
turned s l ightly, heading directl y south or sightl y southwest.

noticed
there appeared to be waves surrounding and radiating from the object .
He
compared the waves to the mirage effect that can be observed when you look
down a hot road into the di stance .

noise, could not see any form of propulsion, and di d not smell anything out

As the object moved, it abr uptly banked 90 degrees on its l eft
side with its three lights still visible whi le veering towards the right ,
and then it quickl y banked back down to l evel flight .
The banking motion
was opposite of a conventional aircraft would bank in the direction it was
turning.
