Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The lights we saw initially were jumbled. I wonder if these objects were flying sideways and not flat to give that appearance. When they turned in front of us I could see the bottom of the leading craft. Big, dark (black, grey maybe). It was nighttime so not sure of the color but I could definitely see the entire craft with the lights on all three corners.

Size of Object(s)

Size of a commercial jet.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Edge of town. Relatively dark. Bright moon made object quite discernable.

Full Description & Details

My wife and I were driving our motorbike last night at approximately 9:15 PM in Reno, NV on South Virginia Street going north when we saw something. We were way down on the south end. We had a couple of beers earlier in the evening but were quite awake and sober. We are UFO enthusiasts. I had a major sighting as a child and my wife and I have had a mutual sighting of a diamond shaped craft a few years earlier also in Reno. We are quite aware of the long history of UFOs dating back even to biblical times. I have done quite a bit of research on the subject and we both attempt to look for rational explanations for both of the sighting we have now shared. That being said let me please continue to tell you what we saw last night.

We had just left our friend's house and had been on the bike about 5 minutes. We have new open-faced helmets which allow for better visibility. The moon is near full right now and the sky was relatively clear. Some scattered clouds but mostly a clear night. We were on a darker part of the road without too many lights. If we had gone a couple of more miles the lights from the stores and such would have probably have kept us from seeing these objects. Anyway, right in front of us was an unusual cluster of lights. They were low and maybe two miles in front of us. We both kept saying, "what the hell is that" over and over. They were really low. They looked like they were sitting still but were moving slowly and looked motionless because they were heading at us. The lights were just a jumble of maybe 6 to 8 white lights in no definable pattern. I was wearing no goggles or shades and my wife had her sunglasses on. Later she said it looked like one big object to here but I could see it was two different objects flying together. So, for about 7 seconds they flew at us very low. We were confused as to what it was. My wife later said she thought it was a crashing plane because it was so low and not where you would normally see a plane flying. Anyway when the lights got closer I could see the outline of two big flying masses. Then they turned left (our right) like a banking turn. We heard no sound but I was riding my Honda. Still, I know how loud military jets are and still should have heard something over the bike engine. When these objects banked (and this happened in about 3-5 seconds) I focused on the first craft and saw a perfect triangle shape with one light on each corner. I did not just see the lights but could see the solid craft. A perfect triangle. It happened so fast I don't remember seeing the shape of the second craft. Maybe it was hidden by the first. But they kept turning until going in the opposite direction as if landing at the airport but as soon as they did the 180 it was as if they disappeared or landed with no lights on. We pulled over to call my friend. It was definitely the triangle. Anytime I have read about the triangle sighting it is always described as big, silent and it floats overhead. This was flying like a jet. It was big like a 747 737? commercial jet. Not small like a military fighter jet. It was weird.

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

It was either a UFO or man made triangle. Without a doubt it was two big flying machines.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I am an enthusiast who believes big-time. Especially interested in ancient ufo's. I had an amazing sighting as a kid in the 70's. This coming after my grandfather kept talking about things in the sky over his house in New England. UfO's bigger than his house. One lit up over his house and filled the sky. He was a very pragmatic, republican and it was upsetting to him. I was young and my sighting at the same location came after his death. However, I would not doubt at all if this was military aircraft I saw last night. But they were still weird. Especially how the disappeared (or cut their lights). If they cut their lights it would seem dangerous.
