Didn't see this UFO, but I'm kind of sort of not godawful at landscape, and figured I'd try actually making the icon for the lemmy UAP community I made instead of relying on slop. Came out alright, I guess, at least as good as slop imo.

When I was young I saw a UFO. I mean a real legit impossible craft. I wasn't the only one either, there were people parked all along the side of the highway looking at this thing. It was three "lights" for lack of a better term, of colors I cannot describe in words. It rotated in the sky and would move about almost instantaneously leaving behind weird trails of lite like when you look at the sun then close your eyes.
It darted around for a few minutes overhead before zooming off over the horizon with a huge burst of light.
This was sometime in the mid nineties in southern California on my way to visit family in LA for easter. The really wild part is my uncle was on his way back from Mexico coming from the opposite direction and saw the exact same thing.
It was also mid day and clear skies so it could not have been a projection onto the clouds or anything.
Whatever this thing was it was moving at an appreciable percentage of the speed of light.
They were also arranged in a triangular rotating formation.
Holy crow, that's amazing!
Yeah and here's the wildest part, I know he wasn't humoring me because we arrived at my aunt's house after he did and I walked in and he was in the middle of describing the same thing himself.
That's absolutely wild. I think the triangles are definitely one of the more interesting phenomenon in UAP, since they seem to have a very specific constellation of presentations. You almost never hear about them being over open sea, they're almost always moving slow(er) and smoothly at low altitudes, and they seem to be much more common to NATO countries. Yours is probably one of the only encounters I've heard of that describes a triangle as moving very quickly.
Yeah, either this thing was some super secret tech from a nearby airbase or was not of this planet. I'm not joking about the speed, it went from just overhead to crossing the horizon in like 2 seconds as the three visible "lights" converged and got brighter or bigger I don't know it did not look like normal light. Real color out of space type shit. And I have seen more than a few experimental craft as I grew up right next to Lockheed Martin's skunkworks. There was also no visible airframe, just these three balls of color that looked both like they glowed but didn't glow if that makes sense, best approximation I can make of it is how the sun looked during the wildfires when there was so much haze you could look right at it and see a perfect ruddy sphere.
That's incredible, I'm actually a bit jealous. Have you read Luis Elizondo's book Imminent? He's one of the UAP disclosure folks, and he goes over how a lot of military witnesses describe similar things to what you witnessed. Btw, if you haven't filed a report with NUFORC yet, you should think about it. Also, if you've got the gumption, I'd love to get a detailed account from you over at c/close_encounters
I could do that. I'm currently waiting to go to a job interview but when I get home I can even show you the exact stretch of road we were on when we saw it.
