- "It was heading straight north. The right edge was
over that tree." Las Vegas journalist Cateland White was in the backyard
of her southeast Las Vegas home last year when she saw a dark behemoth
fly over. She drew a picture and described, "It was triangular shaped
with rectangular reflectors. No interior light at all. By the time it got
out of sight, it was 5-8 minutes. It was so slow, I couldn't figure out
how it was staying in the air."
-
- White called the police, who connected her to Nellis
Air Force Base, which is the direction the triangle seemed headed. "The
man said, 'I don't want you to talk about this anymore, and you're gonna
forget it.' I said, 'Look buddy, I'm not drinking, I'm not on drugs, something
is headed for your base.' Then he got real terse and said, 'Mam, I'm gonna
tell you one more time and this is the last time I'm gonna tell you. Forget
what you saw and don't tell anybody.' At that point, I was freaked,"
described White.

Top Secret Black Triangles

-
- Eyewitnesses all over the country are reporting glimpses
of something large, dark and mysterious in the skies above big cities and
busy highways. The crafts are often described as triangular in shape, silent
in their movements, and of unknown origin, and they've been seen here in
southern Nevada. It looks like these mystery craft might be a secret military
project, but if so, why are they flying around in the open?
-
- "Look at them, there's three or four of them."
In 1997, thousands of eyewitnesses watched in awe as a boomerang-shaped
formation of lights cruised slowly and silently over the city of Phoenix.
"They're lined up in a pattern." Witnesses first thought these
were separate lights, flying in formation, but quickly realized the lights
were all part of a single, gigantic something.
-
- Military officials were asked about the Phoenix lights
but said they hadn't seen anything. Months later, they explained that a
National Guard unit had been training with flares near the city. The public
didn't buy it. Eight years earlier, the airspace over Belgium was repeatedly
violated by huge unidentified black triangles. Ten thousand witnesses saw
them. Several were photographed. The Belgian Air Force dispatched F-126s
to intercept and destroy the unknown intruders, but the triangles performed
maneuvers that seem virtually impossible. Dr. Colm Kelleher said, "They
launched on several occasions top of the line military aircraft against
these things and they were left in the dust. One minute they're overhead,
and the next they're over the horizon."
-
- Dr. Kelleher is a research scientist who spent several
years with the National Institute for Discovery Science, or NIDS, a private
Las Vegas science organization. A four-year NIDS study of the mystery triangles
has found that these craft have been seen for decades all over the world.
There were a daylight sightings in Russia in the '70s. In the early '80s,
there were hundreds of nighttime sightings in rural New York. Belgium was
inundated in the late 80s, but more recently, the mystery triangles have
really come out of the closet and have been seen in every state, including
Nevada, flying low and slow over cities.
-
- Dr. Kelleher describes, "These things are huge,
football field sized. Sometimes they are stealthy; sometimes flying with
very bright lights, disco-flashing lights -- red, green, blue, some bright
white lights. They're always silent."
-
- NIDS now has a database of more than a 1,000 black triangle
reports, 17 of them from Nevada. The witnesses often say the craft seem
to float, like a blimp or airship, but they are also capable of aeronautical
magic.
-
- "They were able to drop altitude 10,000-20,000 feet
in a matter of seconds. They went from a hovering position to several thousand
miles an hour, and this was caught on radar," said Dr. Kelleher.
-
- "It was heading straight north. The right edge was
over that tree." Las Vegas journalist Cateland White was in the backyard
of her southeast Las Vegas home last year when she saw a dark behemoth
fly over. She drew a picture and described, "It was triangular shaped
with rectangular reflectors. No interior light at all. By the time it got
out of sight, it was 5-8 minutes. It was so slow, I couldn't figure out
how it was staying in the air."
-
- White called the police, who connected her to Nellis
Air Force Base, which is the direction the triangle seemed headed. "The
man said, 'I don't want you to talk about this anymore, and you're gonna
forget it.' I said, 'Look buddy, I'm not drinking, I'm not on drugs, something
is headed for your base.' Then he got real terse and said, 'Mam, I'm gonna
tell you one more time and this is the last time I'm gonna tell you. Forget
what you saw and don't tell anybody.' At that point, I was freaked,"
described White.
-
- The frequent proximity of triangle sightings to air force
bases led NIDS to conclude two years ago that the craft must be part of
a secret military project. But in the two years since, the triangles have
become so prevalent over big cities and interstate highways that the theory
doesn't fit anymore.
-
- Dr. Kelleher said, "Why would unacknowledged aircraft
be flying at 500 feet over populated areas? If you look at the B-2 and
F-117, prior to them being acknowledged, there was no flying over populated
areas. They flew in the desert. They flew at high altitudes."
