No of observers: 1

Location: Celebration, FL, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Traingle over Celebration Florida a few minutes past Midnight

Driving home after work I saw a large triangular set of lights over the town of Celebration while traveling South East towards Tampa on I-4. Just east of the World Drive exchange I could see what almost looked like aircraft lights. I would have totally brushed it off as an aircraft, as we genearlly have lots of those in the Orlando Area but they didnt seem to move.

The lights were also very close to the ground, and usually landing lights on a jet liner will hit part of the fuselage, and nothing like that was visable. Ususally large aircraft are not close to the ground at this point, as they are also close to Disney World.. and I think the FAA doesn't allow large comercial traffic to be low flying above a theme park. I'm not sure what I was seeing.

There are not any radio towers here, I didnt see anything that looked like a blimp (bowl games.. etc) and there were way too many lights, and too far apart for it to be a helicopter.

Lights were at all three po! ints of the triangle, with one large light in the center pointing down. About 1/2 way between each point was another smaller light. Nothing flashed, all lights were white. Someone else had to hvae seen this.

I am kicking myself for not stopping my car along the highway and taking a picture with my cellphone.
