Triangle UFO Sighted over Durham - October 31st 2006


It was a cold and frosty night it was October 31st 2006 and I was outside sky watching as I do very often I decided to go out because the stars where shining extremely bright. The time was 9:30pm and I had been outside for around 30 minutes when I suddenly noticed what I thought to be a flashing red light over towards our next door neighbours house. It then seemed that the light turned and was now coming toward me it was then that I noticed the light was not flashing but glowing it was then that I knew that this was now plane. I got the video camera out, turned it on and pressed record straight away but I could not get the craft in the view finder. Then the craft was right there in front of me still floating along the sky and I could see that it was not just one light but three lights in a perfect triangular shape it was then I realised that this was a black triangle UFO but I still had nothing in the viewfinder and by this time the craft began to go over the trees and eventually out of sight. One main thing I noticed about this craft was the sound it made it was not the sound of a plane nor a hover craft but a mix between the two it was like a hovering motion of some kind I have never heard anything like it before.

After the sighting I began to look at my camera and see if anything went wrong with it because I could not get anything on the viewfinder it was just blackness. As I analysed the camera I noticed that I had the lens cap on I was absolutely furious with myself since I had a picture perfect triangle float right by me. The excitement of the moment got the better of me and clouded my judgement making we forget totally about the lens cap. I was extra annoyed because I usually take my normal camera outside but decided not to on this particular night. This is my third triangle encounter my first was in 2003, my second in August 2006 and now this one in October 2006. I have learnt my lesson from this most recent encounter and next time I will be much more prepared for this triangle coming my way. Above you will find a small picture I did of the Triangle UFO.

I contacted RAF Leeming on November 1st 2006 and told the operator about my encounter I was told the following when I mentioned how the lights on the UFO were amber - “RAF Leeming has no aircraft that have any kind of amber light” she also told me that there was no way to tell if any aircraft were in my vicinity at the time. RAF Leeming has passed on a letter about the incident to the Ministry of Defence and I will soon be receiving a letter in the post from the MOD regarding the sighting. The Royal Air Force cannot explain what I saw but I wonder if the MOD can explain it and I for one doubt that very much.
