Incident Description
At 4:14 a.m. on March 5, 2015, two delivery drivers traveling around Stillwater, Minnesota, reported an unusual sighting. They said they had briefly stopped near a black, triangular object hovering in the sky. A bright white light shone at each corner of the triangle, and a flashing red light appeared at its center. The object made no sound; neither the vehicle nor the object itself could be heard.
The first driver, who said he often stopped during his work, noticed the triangle while it was still close to the car, allowing him to see its color, shape, and lights clearly. When the red light illuminated the object’s center, it began moving rapidly southwest, passing over the vehicle without a rustle or sound. The drivers described its movement as sharp and unlike that of any ordinary aircraft: high speed, sudden changes in direction, and the ability to hover close to the car without affecting their GPS system.
Broader Context
Black triangles with white lights are frequently recorded in UAP (unidentified anomalous phenomena) sighting databases. Some reports describe fast, unpredictable movements and, at times, flashing lights at the center. Though unverified, this report adds to the range of features associated with these triangles: sharp geometric shapes, silence, and lights in multiple colors.
Why Is This Interesting?
The report raises several questions: Was this advanced technology from a known aircraft, such as a test plane, or an unexplained phenomenon? The object’s silent passage close to the car and its unusual, sharp maneuvering have drawn the interest of sighting enthusiasts, while also calling for closer scientific investigation.
Summary
The incident lasted about five minutes, after which the triangle disappeared toward the southwest. No additional evidence from the area has emerged to confirm or disprove the account, which remains an unverified eyewitness report of an unidentified aerial phenomenon.
