| My partner and I were working in the yard at 330pm yesterday afternoon. The day was sunny with a few clouds/pleasant. We were putting mulch out in the front of the house. We talked of how low the planes were coming in to Dulles from the southwest to the northeast direction. Soon after a 767 rumbled overhead, I noticed 3 black triangular shaped objects that initially I thought were birds. I mentioned to my partner that the objects were flying too fast for birds, and we noticed that when the objects went in front of a cloud, no flapping of wings were noted. The 3 objects seemed to be circling around each other, but at the same time, were ascending. Very suddenly, one of the triangular shaped craft simply zipped quickly across the sky, from east to west, very quickly. I was able to follow the object with the naked eye, but it was very quick--and not a bird. The other two triangular, dark metal looking objects seemed to still be circling around each other, like a dance. It was almost like they seemed to be enjoying circling around each other, dancing around the sky. The other two then followed the same direction as the first, and all turned southward and left our line of sight. I've been a Registered Nurse for many years and my partner is career secret service. We neither one could explain this strange sighting, especially in the flight line of a major airport. We both mentioned that they were truly unidentified but not sure if they are ours...or not? The G forces with the maneuvers alone would be unbelievable with the way the aircraft maneuvered. It was truly awesome for both of us to see. Again, triangular shaped, somewhat 'chevron' looking, dark metal approximately one to two thousand feet in elevation, and looked about the size of a mid sized sedan...it's difficult to explain this any other way. I've never reported a sighting because I've really never had one before. Both of us are very objective in our professional and personal lives, but had no explanation for this. |
