Two bird like objects, a large triangular object, quick flashing white lights, & orange orbs in the sky over North Myrtle Beach.

On Tuesday, August 10, 2021, at approximately 10:30 PM, my wife and I were taking a walk along North Myrtle Beach. We were walking from the 500 block of South Ocean Blvd towards the 100 block. While routinely looking into the sky, I spotted two objects that resembled birds drawn by every amateur artist on the planet. My wife asked what I was looking at and I told her they were birds as they appeared to be hovering and gliding. Shew said “There’s no way those are birds. Birds wouldn’t be anywhere near that high”. Initially the objects were in the sky to my left, over the land. They hovered overhead for 10-15 seconds and then slowly moved southwest over the beach and ocean.

At some point, I didn’t actually see it happen, because I didn’t think too much of the event at this point, they transitioned to a more vertical position, like a traditional airplane on takeoff. However, the incline was much steeper, an approximate 70 degree angle. The objects steadily, but quickly, rose to a very high altitude and then disappeared. Not in the way an object will disappear from sight. They just disappeared.

About a minute later, my wife and I witnessed lights in the shape of a gigantic obtuse triangle, with an area of approximately 6-8 full moons. The object was so large we, initially, thought they were three separate objects at first. The lights blinked one after another in a left-to-right rotation. After observing this a few times, we concluded it was one solid object as opposed to three separate entities, despite the fact that we could see nothing inside the massive area. It was black as the night sky. The object, which appeared to be relatively low in the sky, also appeared to move very down the beach in the same direction we were walking. Although it was so large it may not have been moving at all. After about a minute, there were a handful of very quick flashing (5-6 flashes in a second or two) small white lights at the side of the triangular object, closest to the100 block (Sorry I’m terrible with directions). That was followed by 3-5 orange orbs, about the quarte! r size of a full moon. My wife said “That’s what I saw earlier!” (when she was sitting on the balcony before our walk). The orbs glowed for a few seconds each and then disappeared, as did the triangular shaped trio of blinking lights. I was extremely excited and kept asking my wife, “What are we seeing right now?!” I calmed down, however, when I saw a man and young teen boy approaching from the rear. When they reached us, the man asked, “What was that?!” I am a 49 year old man who has been a high school Social Studies teacher for 27 years. While I have believed in the possibility of extraterrestrial crafts visiting Earth, I have never seen anything before this event. While not questioning what I saw, I do realize there are other explanations such as military tests, etc.
