Three crafts travling in a triangular fashion across the sky and one by one dissapeared out of sight.

July, 4 2003 Hello my name is ((name deleted)) I was with a friend by the name of ((name #2 deleted)). We were out side watchin for shootin stars after we lit off the fireworks and at about 12:30 my buddy noticed 3 circular objects travling at what I would say pretty fast concidering how far away they appered to be, I would say at least the distance of the moon they were travling in a triangular or pyramid shape they were totaly across the sky in about 30 seconds well it was more like 3/4ths of the sky from were we took notice and were they vanished. once they were about to the third quarter of the sky one by one they took off out of sight starting with the first (tip of the triangle then the right corner then the left corner. We stayed up looking for about an hour or so and didn't see a thing. I have had an interest in extrterestrials but have never seen any thing out of the ordanary untill yesterday and I am going to spen more time looking twords the stars in hopes of seeing another simlar or closer ufo or what ever and I will hopefuly have a good camera that I can snap a shot and send you gies but intill then, later

NUFORC Note:

We suspect the witnesses may have observed the triplet of satellites, thought to be part of the U. S. Navy's "NOSS" satellite program. PD
