Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Triangular. Yellowish lights at corners. Fairly bright. It was NOT the stealth bomber. I saw the stealth bomber in Cotati one night flying toward San Francisco. It looked absolutely as slow as mollases by comparison. In fact, I had time to go in the house, get my binoculars, and return to get a better look. Initially I suspected the stealth bomber but wasn't sure until I got the binoculars. That eliminated any doubts. With the former object, it moved astonishingly fast. I wondered if it might have been a reflection of something on the ground on an air inversion layer. But after mulling that around in my mind I don't thinks so.

Size of Object(s)

I have no idea what the actual size was. The apparent size was quite small. Extending my arm, I'd say no more than half an inch between my fingers.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

It was miles away. Probably a few thousand feet up.

Description of Area / Surroundings

It was an urban setting near country hills. No special features that I know of.

Full Description & Details

The illusion was of three glowing balls connected by glowing sticks. It went accross the sky in about 4 seconds and disappeared from view. My sister said, "Oh my God! What was it?! What was it?!" I had seen similar objects a few years earlier while I was sleeping outside one summer. I had kept my mouth shut about them until my sister saw this one too. I will report those separately.

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

Absolutely not. It was travelling much too fast.

Witness Background

I've been a county correctional officer for 21 years. For a year before that I was a state correctional officer for a year. Before that I was a martial arts instructor. University degree in sociology.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I just don't know. I've seen a few of them but I don't know what I saw. I've tried to rationalize the sightings into something reasonable. The one reported here I've wondered if it could have been a meteor that broke into three pieces, etc. But I strongly believe in the possibility of extra-terrestrial craft.
