Shape: Triangle | Duration: 2 minutes
Source:

Faint boomerang object with no sound, no lights gliding through the sky at a high rate of speed.It was just about 10 o’clock last night and I was relaxing in our hot tub star gazing. Out of my peripheral vision I thought I saw movement and focused my eyes to that location. It was then that I noticed a faint outline or almost translucent triangle object moving overhead. It was traveling straight south and seemed to glide without making any sound and was moving quickly as it was out of my sight within a minute or two at the most. There were no lights on this object or if there were they weren’t turned on, and it almost seemed to blend in with the night sky. We are located in a newer development so there is still a lot of wild life like duck; geese etc. so I first thought maybe it was just a large flock but with no sound as it moved it almost seemed ghostly. I have seen this exact object once before in our old home, once again just outside in the hot tub looking up at the sky, but it was traveling due east at that time. In both instances it was there and ! gone within a minute or so, I wasn’t even sure if I could have snapped a photo if you would have been able to see anything.((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.
