Lavenda Says a Triangle Hovered Silently Over His Car

One night in December, Peter Lavenda was driving home in South Florida when he saw lights above the road. At first, he thought a police helicopter was nearby. But he heard nothing, so he stopped the car and looked up.

A triangular object, he said, hovered directly over his car. He saw no visible means of propulsion and heard none of the noise he would have expected from a helicopter. Lavenda, who had spent years investigating reports of sightings, first wondered whether it might be an unfamiliar type of aircraft. Only later did he conclude that it was a UFO, or unidentified flying object.

Silent, Then Gone

The object made no sound and didn’t accelerate in any way he could identify, he said. Then it moved away and disappeared from view. A short time later, he saw distant lights, which also vanished. He couldn’t determine what caused the movement.

What’s Known About the Sighting

Lavenda recounted the sighting on Mayim Bialik’s show Breakdown, the International Business Times reported. He said it happened several years ago but did not specify the exact year. He presented no recording, corroborating witness, or other evidence, and gave no details about the object’s size, altitude, or identity.

During their conversation, Bialik suggested that his personal energy or interest in the subject might have contributed to the sighting. The idea remained speculative. Lavenda asked how such a theory could be defined and tested.

“It was just the triangle,” he told her. He emphasized that he had seen a triangle, and nothing more.
