Triangular Object Launch Near Baku, Azerbaijan
A US tourist and three companions aboard a train near Baku, Azerbaijan observed a large triangular object with three lights on an airfield approximately two miles away. The object was illuminated by a searchlight, launched with multiple spirals, and climbed steeply at a 45-degree angle while the searchlight tracked it.
“A huge 1earch lir,ht 1 on the tield itselt, shar,e on a triangular obJect on the ground wich :i: would say was probably not more than tvo miles distant from the railroad . The eize ot the object was comparable to that ot a US Jet tighter, vith a squat shape and in the form of an equilateral tmngle . There were three lights on the obJect, one on each point of the triazigle, presumably two wing lights and a tail light. As we watched, it was eJected from its launching site, mak1ng not less than three anti not :more than seven fast spirals in the air, a:tter which it cl.im'bed extremely tut at about a 45 degree angle .”
