National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 8/12/2019 20:44 (Entered as : 08/12/19 20:44) Reported: 8/13/2019 6:25:22 AM 06:25 Posted: 8/23/2019 Location: West Des Moines, IA Shape: Triangle Duration: 1 minute
Did not see the light in the sky. It was sunset and there was some very interesting mid-altitude shadowing that seemed to have no origin and I was hoping to catch a picture of it, while driving, so I could get a better idea of what was causing it when I got back to the hotel. Overall, I had taken 7 pictures while driving on I-235 between Valley West Drive and 50th where I exited. Of the 7, 6 show the triangle set of lights. This was not seen by me personally at the time of the photos. Nothing else odd needed to report.
