Shape: Triangle


The football field sized object was triangular and had a gondola - shaped structure underneath.

My daughter and I were carrying in groceries one evening just after dusk. We live in the mountains of Southwest Virginia. We heard a humming sound that caught our attention at the same time. We looked around to see where the sound was coming from and then we both looked up to see a huge triangle- shaped aircraft hovering over our house.At the time, we both were having a hard time realizing that an aircraft larger than a football field would be hovering a few hundred feet over our house making so little noise. I guess it didn't dawn on either of us that this could be a ufo. We actually were just discussing the aircraft and how strange it looked. There was a gondola-like structure (round) which hung underneath the black aircraft.. I thought it might be a stealth plane, but knew they had no such gondola. We could actually see many people moving around in the gondola that were far enough up that they looked minute in size.It was, as I said a huge craft.We thought that the gondola-like center could possibly move up into the ship. There were lights on the corners and smaller lights around the perimeter.As my daughter and I watched, the humming sound became louder and the craft began to move forward and, gathering speed, flew over the small mountain beside our house and then banked left and speeded up even more,and, flying to the left, was quickly was out of sight. After it was gone, my daughter and I just stood and stared at each other and wondered why in the world one of us didn't run in and get the camera.Before this time I was a serious sceptic about ufos..but now my daughter and I don't doubt so much. For years, we really haven't told anyone except family about this, but now, it seems like it might be a significant sighting.
