The Triangle Question

Sightings of a strange triangular object over the skies of Hellesdon, just outside of Norwich, England, have investigators looking for more witnesses to the strange event. The United Kingdom's Evening News 24 reported that two people saw a large black three-sided object hover over neighborhood houses, emit a series of beams, and take off rapidly to the north.

One of the eyewitnesses has been identified as Austin Paxman, of Norwich. The second is said to be a civil aviation worker at Norwich Airport, who remains unidentified.

According to the Norfolk UFO Society, areas surrounding Norwich and Norfolk have been hosts to multiple sightings of strange aircraft over the past few years.

Like many other UFOs, the "black triangles" have been sighted around the world for decades. There are reports going back as far as the 1950's of strange triangular shaped objects floating through the skies.

What makes the triangle phenomenon different is the overwhelming amount of video footage and photographs that have been taken of the mystery crafts. The most notable is the March 13, 1997 sighting of a large triangular formation of lights hovering over the Phoenix, Ariz. skies. Witnessed by thousands of people, the incident attracted a large amount of media attention.

Explanations have varied from United States Air Force maneuvering drills to flairs. These attempts to discount the incident, however, do not explain the long period of time the lights were present in the sky, nor the complete lack of sound the object(s) produced while hovering over a major metropolitan area.

While reports of these aircraft appear across the globe, some investigators believe that people are witnessing top secret American test craft or misinterpreting sightings of the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit, better known as the stealth bomber. No doubt in areas where military facilities are present, this is a serious possibility.

Whether it is government test craft or aliens cruising our skies, one must wonder what are these strange things.
