A triangular shaped object came in from the west and took something away.For as long as I can remember, my neighbour and I have noticed a large light in the sky North East of our town. It did not twinkle like a star or planet, just stayed in the same spot. My husband was sick, and I came out to the living room to see how he was feeling at 3:00-3:05AM . He was asleep. I sat down to have a cigarette. I looked out the window and saw two small lights (white), with a flashing white light behind them. At first I thought it was a plane. It came up to the light (spot) in the N.E. sky and stopped.I went outside at that time. I could hear a slow and distant whump....whump....whump. What amazed me was, it took the light that had been in the sky for as long as I could remember away. I came back in and woke my husband, he came outside with me but could not see enough ot it to discount it as anything but a plane or helicopter. It had come in from the West and continued in the same straight line.Last night, May 29th 2005, I stayed up until 3:00am. There is no longer any light in the North East sky. For me it was a UFO. I like to believe that there is life on other planets but this was a little much for me to wrap my brain around.The object formed an irregular triangle, a total of three lights. I could not see any solid substance within those lights, it was too far away. Until I hear from someone else, I am telling myself that NASA sent something up to retrieve a dead satellite. I hope that the NASA idea is correct because if it's not my other guess is a little to creepy for me to entertain. Were we being observed? I hope someone can help me to understand what I saw.
