I have an interesting story for you... I don't know how unique it is, but I am interested in an answer... the question will become clear once you
read the story. Therefore, please bear with me, my tale is a wee bit long.
I live in a small, rural town in North Carolina, about two hours by car from Fayetteville -- which (as most people know) is the site of Fort Bragg. My
house is large and old, and has a woodstove in it to help lower the heat bills. This woodstove has a tremendous appetite for wood, requiring a load of
wood roughly equivalent to a heaping garden cart (the new, cheap kind you get at Wal-Mart for $30 or so) in order to run through the night.
Late one evening, as my mother was preparing the stove for its nightly burning, she had me go out and get a load of wood off the pile on the side of
the house. So I go out there and I'm throwing wood into the cart when I hear a low roar, somewhere in between a jet engine and what the Space Shuttle
sounds like on TV. I look up, expecting to see a low-flying plane and There. It. Is.
"It" was a huge (between 150-200ft I would say) aircraft (spacecraft?), triangular in shape and about the color of anti-radar paint. It had a light
on each corner, white in front, blinking red at the back. No visible propulsive mechanism, no ground turbulence (we have 50ft. trees around the house;
they should have been knocked over or at least shaking with wind), nothing. It was well below radar range (I hear that radar cuts out at ~500ft.) at
no more than 200ft. up. It was also the shape of your stereotypical isosceles triangle: long and thin (ish).
I've been looking to find out what it is ever since. It's not an Aurora -- no fins or wings. It's not a TR-3 (which is too wide) or a TR-3A (again,
too wide) or a TR-3B (which is an equilateral triangle in every picture I've seen). I can't find any pictures of a TR-3C on the Web... if it even
exists.
That basically eliminates everything under the heading of "black triangular flying thing" that comes from this planet. Any guesses, folks?
P.S. I will have a "spec sheet" of what I saw up in a few minutes, provided that Imageshack is in a cooperative mood.
EDIT: forgot to mention that it was heading in the general direction of Fayetteville...
