Description | The witness recalls a sighting of a black, triangular object on a warm summer night in Fresno, California, between 1987 and 1989. The object, which moved very slowly and silently across the sky, was large enough to obscure the stars as it passed overhead. The witness, then around 10-12 years old, and their father observed the object without using any lights to avoid drawing attention. Despite the father’s apprehension, leading him to advise against discussing the sighting to avoid disbelief, the event left a lasting impression on the witness, who had not spoken about it until recently. |
