The triangle UFO continued throughout 2012 as a “top three” reporting shape, according to MUFON monthly statistics. MUFON recorded 90 U.S. triangle UFO reports during November 2012 where the event occurred during November. The number of reports made for this shape is typical for 2012 monthly reporting. Please keep in mind that the number may increase over time as additional witnesses report events that occurred during that month in the future.

The following is a sampling of edited witness testimony from 14 November 2012 cases that have already been closed out as an Unknown.

November triangle reports began at 8 p.m. on November 1, in Merlin, Josephine County, OR, with Case 43656.

“I live on two acres in the country with a good view of the sky,” the reporting witness stated. “I walked out to look at the stars and noticed lights coming low and slow from out of the west. I called my wife to come out and look because the lights were coming from an unusual direction. I didn’t know what it was. I just knew it wasn’t an airplane because airplanes are my hobby.
“It was a triangle-shaped object with a cluster of lights in the front followed by a red blinking light in the center and another light close to that. At first it looked like two separate crafts, but as it got closer we could see that it was one big one. It headed towards the north and then banked towards the east and then disappeared. There was no noise at all.”

6:35 p.m., Phoenix, Maricopa County, AZ, Case 43729. “When I saw and recorded it was at 7th street just south of Bell Road around 6:35 p.m.,” the witness stated. “Three bright, white lights heading due west being trailed by a helicopter. My video is on Youtube, along with another (much better) video that catches the object from a block away. As it moved further west you can clearly see the lights are in a triangle pattern. When we first saw it, it appeared to be three large, non-blinking, slow moving white lights in a row (as shown on the other YouTube video) but clearly a triangle pattern as seen in my video. Watch ‘bright lights over Phoenix 11/2/12’ first, then mine ‘UFO Phoenix 11/2/12.’ Watching both videos gives a great perception of exactly what my mom and I saw.”

5:30 p.m., Katy, Waller County, TX, Case 43835. “We noticed the green sphere-like object in the sky and both observed that it was moving back and forth and up and down,” the witness stated. “We both knew this was not a plane. There also was another, smaller object. The pictures were taken between two and four seconds apart, so it was moving at a great speed. There is a small airport nearby, and we are very familiar with the landing and flight patterns, also colors of airplanes. There is a green outline in the clouds, and it looks like a green beam going downward. The object changed shape or possible turned over, and went to the south where it seemed to join with a cloaked, large object, which can be seen in the last photos. It looks like a cloud, but there is a clear outline of a huge disk, and cloud/vapor trail coming from the south/southwest.”
11:45 p.m., Des Moines, Polk County, IA. Case 43716. “The lights were aligned like the three points of a triangle,” the witness stated. “I could not see a solid object between the lights, but the way they moved together made me believe they were part of a solid object. The lights were above the tree line and appeared to be very close to me. I was worried that while I was sitting there the object/lights were going to fly over my house. They appeared to be much lower than an airplane would fly. I would estimate that they were approximately 100-200 feet in the air, maybe higher but definitely below the light cloud cover. I remember thinking that when the object flew over, it was so low that I would be able to see all the detail and that frightened me. The lights were gliding very slowly, not wavering from their position in the triangle and moving in a westerly direction. The lights were circular in shape and were about five times brighter and larger than the brightest/largest star in the sky. I watched the lights for about 10 minutes as they moved west, toward me, then they began to slowly fade until they appeared no brighter or larger than the average star.”

November 4, 2012
9:10 p.m., Herculaneum, Jefferson County, MO, Case 43707. “Observed three lights forming a triangle in the sky,” the witness stated. “The lights stayed on and did not blink. I was able to determine that the object that the lights were attached to was dark and triangular-shaped. The object seemed fairly large. When I first observed the object it was hovering. I watched it for
what seemed to be 30 seconds. All of a sudden the lights flashed very brightly and the object took off at a very high rate of speed. I also heard a ‘whooshing’ sound that did not sound like a helicopter or airplane.” Field Investigator: “The area of the sighting is VERY interesting. Herculaneum is located on the banks of the Mississippi River, Scott AFB is just across the Mississippi River in Illinois, and Herculaneum is the location of the largest integrated lead producer in the Western Hemisphere and the 3rd largest producer in the world. If something ‘unknown’ was to be seen hovering, this would be a likely area considering information obtained from previous sighting reports referencing water, mining areas and military bases as active areas.”

8:27 p.m., Fayetteville, Cumberland County, NC, Case 43730.
“I was driving west down Cliffdale Road coming back from the store,” the witness stated. “It looked like a cop helicopter looking for someone, low over houses to my left while driving south. Looked like this triangle within three white lights sitting over houses near the intersection of Cliffdale and Prestige. Turned around to get another look as quick as I could and it was gone.”

November 6, 2012
4:50 a.m., Hazelwood, St. Louis County, MO, Case 43755. “Noticed what I thought was an airplane fly across the highway,” the witness stated. “It got above the field to the side of the highway I was on. I pulled over and watched it descend down while flying back over to the highway right over my car. The first time I saw it the only reason I noticed it was because it was hovering over the bridge like just above it making it maybe 100 feet above my car.”

5:30 p.m., Jackson County, MO, Case 43750.
“We noticed a bright ball of light hovering over a central monument, Liberty Memorial,” the witness stated. “We were curious and drove toward this part of town, only a five minute drive to reach this monument. We got there and the object began to move northwest at a slow stall and unusually low altitude. It became a jet. It flew low enough for us to see in detail the underbelly with no markings, all white non-commercial jet making no sound. Our car did not vibrate as expected to be directly under a jet. I watched as the jet slowly passed over our windshield and then looked at it through the moon roof briefly. We were driving 25 mph. The scale was 2/3 the space of our moon roof. It took approximately three seconds to cross the moon roof view. It kept up its northwest flight path with a constant speed and altitude.”

November 8, 2012
8:15 p.m., Calabash, Brunswick County, NC, Case 43813. “A triangularly-shaped red light formation appeared, however, this was much, much, much different,” the witness stated. “This object was approximately 40 feet tall and I would estimate at its widest point at least a quarter-mile wide.Truly amazing and scary at the same time. Each point of the triangle had its own red light and the ship flew with no sound and only 100-200 feet off the ground over houses and out towards the beach.The flashing white lights and orange orbs are very common in my area and no one knows anything. Hundreds of videos uploaded on Youtube and nothing.”

November 9, 2012
7:40 p.m., Jacksonville, Duval County, FL, Case 43834. “I glanced upward and saw a very unusual ‘airplane’ at about 80 degrees,” the witness stated. “It was triangle-shaped (equilateral) and had softly glowing white light along its two forward edges. It appeared to be sub-divided by softly glowing light into six smaller equilateral triangles. It was moving at a high rate of speed in a straight-line flight path and I estimate that it was at an altitude of 5,000 feet. The object passed directly overhead and was silent. The object seemed to disappear when it was at about 70 degrees from my position. I estimate the duration of the event at between five and seven seconds.”
10:05 p.m., Parkville, Platte County, MO, Case 43807. “The object was about 200 or so feet above the tree line, but there were no sounds or wind gusts,” the witness stated. “A helicopter flying that low would definitely give off some sound. I thought this was really strange, so I slowed down to about 15 mph because there were no other cars on the road at the time. I noticed the lights were in a triangle shape but I couldn’t make out what was connecting the lights. The object was either transparent or blended very well with the night sky. The bright white light was on top. This light was the biggest and brightest. The smaller red and blue lights were underneath this main white light, forming the outline of the triangle shape. All the lights were flashing and becoming brighter at random times. When I was closest to the UFO I noticed it was not moving at all and was just hovering very low to the ground, maybe 200 or so feet above the tree line. I had to make a quick turn and I lost sight of it.”

November 10, 2012
6:28 p.m., Castle Rock, Cowlitz, WA, Case 43828. “Three totally silent, solid, reddish orange glowing spheres forming an equilateral triangle,” the witness stated. “Size: Each sphere approximately the size of a dime held out at arm’s length. The three objects were close enough to my car that I almost stopped my car as I actually feared that they might block the road, but they stayed hovering where they had been the whole time so I continued southbound on Si Town Road. They were totally silent. They did not blink, rotate or change color. They maintained a constant luminosity until the end of this event. They were each very bright and each sphere was about as big around as a dime held at arm’s length.”

November 17, 2012
6 p.m., Richmond Heights, St. Louis County, MO, Case 44062. “I thought it was a fast moving lone cloud, but then it was clearly a black triangle when overhead and made no noise,” the witness stated. “It only had some faint lighting around the edges, which may have been reflection from the city below. It disappeared over some high cirrus clouds, so I assume it was very large.”

November 29, 2012
12 a.m., Waterloo, Laurens County, SC, Case 44239. “I saw the rectangular shape and heard no sound,” the witness stated. “It has three or four white lights down each side and two red or blue blinking lights. It seems to disappear behind clouds when it starts back southwest.”
