It began on November 16, 1996, when a massive black triangle was discovered at 23:00 near Yadkinville, North Carolina. 

There were four of us in our Camry, and we saw this slow-moving, silent triangular shadow pass right over the hood of our car, just 100 feet (30 m) above us. Then move to the left, over a small hill, out of sight. In total, the observation lasted only seven minutes. 

It made no sound, but it seemed strangely oppressive, if only because of the gigantic size of the ship. The sky was pitch black on a moonless, cloudless, starry, and very cold night. 

We could tell it was a triangle by the red glowing / pulsing lights on all three corners as well as on the sides and seeing the stars outside the straight line and only the blackness under the ship's hull. It was both creepy and cool. We couldn't see the top, and we couldn't see the bottom clearly - just blackness. 

We "held the gun" for four months, but we never saw him again.

Summary: It began on November 16, 1996 with an 11:00 p.m. sighting of a massive black triangle just outside of Yadkinville, North Carolina. There were four of us in our Camry and we saw this slow-moving, silent, triangular shadow, pass directly over the hood of our car, just 100 feet above us. Then vector off to our left, over a small knoll and out of sight. The sighting lasted only seven minutes in total. It made no sound yet felt oddly oppressive, if only from the gigantic size of the craft. The sky was pitch black on a moonless, cloudless, starry and very cold night. We could tell it was a triangle from the red glowing/pulsing lights on all three corners and by looking down the sides and seeing stars outside the straight line and only blackness, underneath the body of the ship. It was both eerie and awesome. We could not see the top and could not clearly see the bottom – only blackness.  We kept the sighting quiet for four months.
