Black triangular UAP over Colorado Springs, October 2023
A witness observed a dark-gray cloud in the sky near Colorado Springs that dissipated as a large black triangular object with red lights at each corner emerged, initially moving at helicopter speed before accelerating to possibly Mach 1-2, performing unusual banking maneuvers before disappearing.
“As he watched the cloud, he saw a constant, diffuse red light on the bottom front point of a solid black triangular shaped object coming out of the cloud towards the south, southeast. The object behind the point became wider and larger as it exited the cloud until - saw the entire equilateral triangular object with a red light in each of the three corners.”
