Location: Coral Springs, FL, USA

Shape: Triangle

On June 18th(?), 2005 a long triangle traveled slowly at 34 degrees in the eastern sky (from florida), then faded.

We were driving to the local ice cream parlor, and as we were driving on the street that leads away from my house, I looked up and saw this long triangle, like a Star Destroyer (from Star Wars IV-VI). I pointed it out to my sister and her boyfriend, and we all watched the thing. It was slightly lighter than the sky around it, and had a small orange light at the very tip of each point. Whiteish smoke was coming out the tail end (the shortest side) and trailing away, kind of like a cloud. It was moving... I'd guess about the speed of any airplane(?). After about 35 seconds of us watching it, the whole thing just faded. The outline faded, the white smoke stopped (but the smoke that was already in the sky died away slowly), and the orange lights dimmed. The two rear ones died out completely, but the one on the front tip just dimmed until it was around the brightness of a red dwarf star. (I don't know whether it was a stealth action.) The whole ship slowed down, and moved very slowly from that point on, and we just watched it for like another minute, and then my sister said, "Just drive." So we went, I kept trying to watch for the triangle's light, but I lost it, and by the time we got back, I guess it must have flown away or just dimmed completely. I'd guess it was between 22 and 45 degrees up in the eastern sky (from our POV).

Our background? My sister and I are born-and-raised Americans, and the boyfriend is a Russian. They aren't UFO buffs, and I'm mostly a paranormal investigator (excluding UFOs).
