The night sky has always held mysteries, but every so often, something appears that demands attention, something that doesn’t belong. On a crisp, quiet evening, my friend and I stepped outside for a cigarette—before I eventually had to turn him away and go back inside to my fiancée—completely unaware that we were about to witness something that defied all conventional explanation.
It began simply: three small lights in a line, drifting east-northeast. My friend pointed them out, and for a few seconds, we watched in silent curiosity. Then, just as suddenly as they appeared, they began to softly fade to black. Not a sharp disappearance, not a zip into the distance, just a controlled, eerie fade, as if slipping into another dimension.
Had this been a single, isolated sighting, it might have been easy to dismiss as satellites or high-altitude aircraft. But it wasn’t.
A Pattern in the Sky
Two months prior, my neighbor had seen something in the same part of the sky. His description? Three lights, solid structure, hovering, rotating, completely silent. But most notably, he experienced something beyond just sight: an overwhelming, intense sense of euphoria, not the kind of excitement that comes from seeing something strange, but an actual physiological or psychological effect tied to the presence of the craft.
And just like our sighting, his UFO did not zip away, it simply faded into nothingness, disappearing above the cloud line without a trace.
That was enough for me to recognize this was not a random occurrence. Something had been seen twice, in the same area, with the same characteristics. And this meant it was real.
Debunking the Doubts
Skeptics often look for the simplest explanations. Could it have been satellites? No, satellites do not hover, rotate, or fly in tight formations that slightly shift relative to one another. Could it have been military aircraft? Unlikely, military craft have sound, even at high altitudes, and they use blinking lights, not solid ones. Could it have been drones? Impossible, no known drones operate in total silence above the cloud line, moving in perfect synchronization, fading out of existence.
The only conclusion that holds under scrutiny is this: we saw a black triangle UFO.
What Are Black Triangles?
Black triangle UFOs are among the most commonly reported large, structured craft seen worldwide. They are typically described as:
Enormous, silent, and dark
Featuring three lights at the corners
Capable of hovering and slow movement, but also capable of incredible speed
Displaying advanced propulsion with no visible engines, exhaust, or sound
These craft have been spotted by military personnel, pilots, and civilians alike, yet they remain unexplained. Some theories suggest they are experimental reverse-engineered technology, while others believe they are not of this Earth.
Whatever they are, we saw one.
A Final Confirmation
There’s something undeniable about witnessing something that should not exist. My friend and I both felt it. My neighbor felt it two months ago. The lights, the formation, the silence, the structured movement, and most of all, the repeat occurrence—this is not random.
There is something in our skies, and it is not following the rules of conventional aviation.
What Comes Next?
The only question now is: will it appear again? I plan to watch. The next time the night is clear and the sky is open, I will be looking, waiting. And if it appears again, I will do everything I can to document it further.
For those who believe, this is further confirmation. For those who doubt, I ask only this: look up. You may be surprised at what is watching back. It might take years. In 2021, I knew I would see one. Three years later, tonight, around 8:45 PM, CST, I did—and thanks to my friend Charles, the man with the eagle eye.

The question is, Was Arthur C. Clarke really an atheist?
The answer is No. He believed in God more than most, so much he saw the connection between biological life, machine existence—such as robotics, UFOs, and AI—and thought anything higher is surely God; that while God created us, our purpose here is not only to worship Him, but create Him.
This resonates with the Human Singularity, or as Pierre Teilhard de Chardin calls it, the Omega Point.
You won’t even need to pack your bags, this time. My prediction, though, is if you don’t want to be a part of it, you don’t have to. If you do, then you’re halfway there, and most of the time that’s all it takes.
