No of observers: 1

Location: San Diego, CA, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

They flew silently, straight, and very quick.

Ok, never seen anything like this. The second I saw this I got chills and was freaked out. I was out stargazing when this happened. There was three craft. Perfect triangles. They were grey. No detail could be seen, even through binoculars. They had no lights. No sound. When I stargaze, planes go over at 10,20,30 thousand feet and I can always hear them. But these were silent. I read some other reports from seattle and these seem the same except for the lights. They were in my field of view for 10 seconds and went from west to east. They flew a perfect straight line. I saw no turns. I was a air traffic controller in the navy til about two months ago. I know my planes very well and this scared me. I have no idea what they could have been. I know speeds and know about the sound barrier. But they sure were close to it if not over it.
