Full Description & Details

In 1997 shortly after the re-release of The Empire Strikes Back, my brother and I were driving home from the movies. We were on North Williston Road in Williston Vermont. The road was a straight-away for about a mile until it veered left and down into the woods. I was sitting in the back seat of my brothers car, I was only 13 at the time, and noticed three bright lights over the treelineoff in the distance. I thought to myself, "It must be an airplane, but it's flying entirely too low...perhaps I'm just imagining it." So I proceeded to investigate the inside of my brothers car, not saying anything to him, to see if there were any lights that would be reflecting onto the window I was looking out of. This wasn't the case. I then rolled down the window as we began to get closer and closer to the object laying stationary in the clear sky. It was still there and not moving.

I was thinking that I was seeing things, but it remained in the sky as we drew ever closer to this monolith. I could begin to see that between the lights was a solid structure as I could see no stars within the dark triangular shape. At this point in time I had never even heard of triangular UFO's, so i really had no idea what I was observing on that night. I mentioned it to my brother finally as we were almost driving to the forest and he ignored my calls - he was probably just as scared as I was. As we drove into the forested section of the road I kept my eye on the object as we drove directly under it. This craft was enormous. I thought it was the size of a football field, being so young, but in reality it was probably only 100 - 200 feet on each side, with the bright white lights still glowing on each corner.

My brother kept driving, not saying a word. I rarely made mention of the even to people until recently. Some people thought I was just making it up or I was seeing things or crazy. However, I brought it up with my brother about two years ago while at a family gathering and he said that he had seen the object too, and was suprised that I saw it as well. Perhaps it was a military experimental aircraft...perhaps it was a truly extraterrestrial ship performing scientific studies, or maybe something more sinister. I'll never know since I've never read any other reports of this sighting.

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

The object was definitely man-made or extraterrestrial.
