The ship was otherworldly. It wasn’t just a metal structure, it wasn’t just orbs of light - it looked like it was from a sci-fi movie.
I was in the backyard of a rental property swimming in a pool with 2 friends, and 4 other friends were sitting outside of the pool. We were looking up at the sky often since the Aurora was visible that night. At a random moment I looked directly above and saw a craft flying over us. I immediately knew the craft was something foreign, and far beyond any technology we’re aware of.
I tried to get my friends’ attention, and the 2 friends in the pool immediately saw it. 1 friend outside the pool saw it too. We all had a moment of speechless shock. I stared as the ship flew from the left side of my field of vision to the right, then disappeared suddenly (before it was out of sight - it didn’t just slowly move out of our field of vision, it went *poof* and disappeared).
I’m not great at estimating the elevation, but it was flying lower than a standard plane would. Probably a thousand feet in the air, maybe more. I’d compare it to the height a blimp would fly.
The ship itself appeared like three chevron shapes being held closely together by some force, almost like magnetism, but they were NOT connected. Light was glowing and almost bending between the parts. The “wings” of the chevron shapes seemed to be made of 3 separate units on each side. The ship had a transparent aspect to it, seemed to have light bending/leaking in the spaces between the components, and was almost magnifying the stars above it. I am certain that I could see the night sky right through it.
The movement of the ship was fast but not extremely fast (not even close to a meteor or anything similar). It probably took 15 seconds to cross my field of vision. It moved very smoothly, almost floating. Again, I’d compare it to a blimp, but a fast moving blimp. There was no visible exhaust, and it was completely silent. If I hadn’t looked up at that moment I would’ve never known it was there.
The appearance of the ship was otherworldly. It wasn’t just a metal structure, it wasn’t just orbs of light - it looked like a spacecraft directly out of a sci-fi move. It looked like a shadow in some parts, had fully transparent parts, and was manipulating light in ways I’ve never seen. I saw both white light and multicolored lights.
After it disappeared, we took a few seconds to process, and we all were blurting out whatever words we could form. All of us in the pool said the word “three”. The number 3 was very relevant. I believe it appeared to be 3 ships, and the “wings” of the chevron shapes each looked like they were made out of 3 pieces, if that makes sense.
The one person who saw it from outside of the pool had a different angle. From in the pool we were looking at the underbelly of the craft and it almost looked two-dimensional. From outside the pool, the person saw three-dimensional shapes, and their drawing reflected that. From their drawing, the ships looked like elongated pyramid shapes.
