Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Triangle shape. Solid black except for the 4 lights. 3 white lights, 1 in each corner. In the center was a round dome shaped that bubbled down a little that had a blinking red light in the center of it. Droning humming sound. I made a quick drawing in Paint, please excuse the simplicity.

Size of Object(s)

If I held my arms stretched out, when it was right above me, my hands would've been about 12-18" apart. It looked to be a big object, cargo plane size.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

When it was directly over my head it took up most of my field of vision. Maybe 50-100' high.

Description of Area / Surroundings

It was in the parking lot of my apartment complex in a fairly populated town. I don't know of any bases or anything around it could be from.

Full Description & Details

One night when I was 11, I was playing with some friends in the apartment complex we all lived in when I was in Northern California. We were walking somewhere and I went through the parking lot by myself. At the end of the long parking lot and across the street, a little above the roof of a small shopping complex, I saw two white lights appear. As they moved slowly toward me, the rest of it finally made it over the building and I could see that it was a triangle. Two white lights in the front, and one in the back, one in each corner. In the center was a kind of dome that bubbled out and had a blinking red light in the center. The body was solid black. It had a droning hum that was constant. I ran after it until I got to a fence that was between the parking lot and my elementary school at the time, then just watched it until it was gone. It was so low and very slow, I've never seen a plane or anything of that size move like that. No wind or any disturbance from it either. I remember yelling at my friends telling them what I just saw, and I said we should go watch the news to see if anything weird was going on, but nothing about it came up. Exciting stuff, especially for a kid.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

I don't think it was a plane because of how low and slow it was going, and there wasn't any wind or anything it produced.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before this I heard about UFOs a little bit. Seen a TV show or two about them. Afterwards I did a bunch of reading on them and became facinated.

Other Comments

Whatever it was, it was definately one of the most memorable moments I can recall.
