I happened to look out of my back window and was shocked to see a huge triangular-shaped ship at a very high altitude. I worked in the Air Force for five years, but I must say that the object I saw that day was like nothing I had ever seen before.

It was slightly overcast with small clusters of clouds, but large clear areas. Looking out of the back window of the house, I noticed at a very high altitude a huge triangular object moving at great speed. By then, I had excitedly run from the bedroom to the living room to tell my wife and son about the object (observed at a distance of about ten yards or 9 m), knowing that it would pass by our large window.

Apparently, the object passed, as I only saw a metallic sheen when the sunlight reflected off it. I've seen many, many planes, both military commercial flying at high altitudes. We are lucky that there are many clear, cloudless days, especially in winter. The difference was the relative size of the object I saw and the jet at about the same height.

I had a casual interest in UFOs before I saw the object, skeptical at best, but what I saw that day literally made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.
