Black triangular form-shifting mass spotted

Me and my friends were outside talking in a parking lot and I saw something in the sky and pointed to it. I thought it was a cluster bomb or cruise missles at first until I saw the entity looked connected/swarming and to be composed of black triangles. We saw dull red lights blink on the perimeter of it and it seemed to change shape between a rotating triangular mass and then rectangular with imperfect corners. It flew silently and the sun was just setting so there was plenty of light and the sky was completely clear. It was as high up in the sky as a fighter jet and about the size of a football field. We tried to take a picture of it but it didn't show up on the phone. Triangular specks kept coming off of it and then would catch up to it as well. The mass hovered parallel to the horizon slowly and drifted off however relative to its size it was moving extremely fast. Another person I was with said it faded away at a much different time as I continued to see it with another person. It did resemble a balloon or parachute at times until it would break apart into a triangular pattern. I would estimate the entire mass was made of between 60-70 triangles.




NUFORC Note:

Possible hoax?? PD
