TRIANGLES with a glow on the front

i saw a group(2) of largish flight triangles as the sun was going down. the way they were heading was away from the setting sun, but their front leading edges had a 'glow' is the best way i can describe it.


they were silent and had dual contrails.


any idea what i saw?

Great sighting. Where it happen?

a reply to: penroc3

You mean like this?



or this?

Google "Plasma Actuator"

Maybe B-2's? I heard that they charge the leading edge, and they are kind of triangular I guess.

As someone mentioned before..Plasma actuator splitting the air in front to reduce drag is what that is. When cranked up to max they wil create a vacuum in front of the craft where friction is almost nil.

I've seen something like that. It was too low for contrails though. It was very low, very fast and completely silent.

I don't know if you just made that up but it sounds awesome!

Former member who used to be here clued me in on it at one time. He also apparently had intimate knowledge on said craft. And proved it a few times to various members. Such as when and where a fly by would happen.

I witnessed this on the gray one that flew over the top of me.

At first, I couldn't make out the shape of it. All I could see were the insanely bright lights on the front edge, but as it got closer I could see what it was.

The one I saw dropped underneath really low hanging clouds and floated straight towards us. I didn't know what it was at first because of the really bright yellowish/white lights that were lining the front edge, but then as it floated overhead I could make out what it was.

lol no, there was still enough sun out to see the craft, the front part almost looked like a fluorescent tube without the tube.

but it was faint, and it different color to the sky or setting sun let alone they were facing the other way.

I've had a flight of 3 B-2s heading toward me with the sun setting behind them, through binoculars everyone of them had a very bright "shimmer" that appeared to be on the lower leading edge. As they got closer this went away. They ran large race tracks overhead for several hours, well into dark, and this shimmer never reappeared.

My best guess, on what I saw, was the hot exhaust and angle of the sun caused a mirage and from my perspective it appeared to be just under the aircraft. It was very bright. ...you've posted a conceptual rendering now, my experience would have nothing to do with what you are showing.

a reply to: penroc3

Yes, now you mention it, the nose did glow white. It seems a few of us have witnessed this unknown craft. One thing I do know is that it's definitely terrestrial technology.

Bluebeam? Time will tell.

im sure it was ours as they had contrails, but the front had a strange optical effect. i couldn't see them long but i am almost wondering if it was a cloak of sorts

a reply to: penroc3

When they cloak you can tell. You would not be wondering at all!

They go "shimmer-y" like heat waves on a highway in the distance. Then you can see straight through them! Had the one I saw "show" me this (like it was showing off). They knew exactly when to do it too. The triangle craft was passing between my line of sight with the moon (I was waiting to get a good look at it). Then I could see through the thing with no delay at all. The moon looked the same with it in front as it did not there!

I could tell it was there because of the lights below at the triangle's apex. It is probably (my guess as to function) a ported cover that can be closed to be completely unseen when needed. Like when flying down the main highway in a major US city while heading out to sea.

Cool sighting!

Your description fits well with Wichita bird

Yup, I was about to say the same thing. The unknown Wichita plane definitely had something happening with it's leading edge.

Pretty much. For reference: files.abovetopsecret.com...

a reply to: mightmight

Yep, the Wichita bird was the first thing that came to mind.
Would feel blessed if you got to glimpse two of em.
