Description | In August 1980, near North Bay, Ontario, the narrator and his family observed a massive, silent, triangular UFO hovering about 100 feet from their house. Through binoculars, they noticed what appeared to be windows on the object with figures or people-like entities behind them. After watching the craft for several minutes, it moved slowly before shooting away at high speed. The family discussed the sighting among themselves, with various reactions. The experience had a profound effect on the narrator, who felt broken, incomplete, and constantly watched afterward. |
