UFOs are reported in all kinds of different shapes and sizes.
From round, ball-like shapes, square boxes, cigars, to the traditional flying saucer.
The mysterious black triangle UFOs.
Updated 2/9/2020 – Out of all of these configurations, triangular-shaped UFOs seem to be receiving more attention and publicity recently.
Beginning in the early 1980’s many countries, including the United States, have experienced mass-sightings of triangle UFOs, all with similar characteristics such as shape, sound, lighting and flight patterns.
Seen with increasing frequency, several excellent photos and videos have been taken of these strange craft.
Nevertheless, despite these photos, no good explanation has yet surfaced to account the nature of these remarkable UFOs.
Many UFO researchers are certain that the flying triangles represent proof that the Earth is being visited by extraterrestrials.
While the other side of the controversy says that these UFOs are, in fact, top secret, black budget military aircraft using technology that is years ahead of civilian science.
The debate shows no sign of closure anytime soon.
THE HUDSON VALLEY UFO FLAP
Beginning in 1983, residents of the Hudson Valley area of New York and nearby Connecticut started seeing strange UFOs described as larger than a football field with multicolored flashing lights.
The object seems to take on a boomerang or triangle shape.
Most witnesses reported the UFO was a solid object made up of some type of very dark, gun-gray colored material.

At the peak of its activity, the object was seen by at least five thousand witnesses that included police officers, scientists, and people from all walks of life.
All said that the silent, slow-moving UFO was something that they had never seen before and could not be identified.
Most of the reports from that area seem to support the idea that the flying triangle was extremely large, silent and very low.
Most of the estimates place it around 500-800 feet above the ground.
Local police were baffled by the sightings.
State police said that the sightings were caused by nothing more than a group of stunt planes flying in formation.
The FAA official at Bradley International Airport would not confirm or deny if they had anything on radar but insisted that the sightings were most likely a hoax with a hot air balloon.
However, many people who saw the object said that the explanations didn’t fit.
As one building inspector in the Hartford area said: “This thing about balloons and aircraft is a lot of crap.”
TRIANGLE UFOs AROUND THE WORLD
One of the most heralded cases of multiple black triangle sightings was the Belgian flap that began in November of 1989.
No less than thirty different groups of witnesses and three separate groups of police officers would document the events of November 29.
All of the reports identified a large object flying at low altitudes.
The craft was of a flat, triangular shape, with lights underneath.
This giant craft was completely silent as it slowly, brazenly, moved across the landscape of Belgium.
There was free sharing of information as the Belgian populace tracked this craft as it moved from the town of Liege to the border of the Netherlands and Germany.
This first startling sighting would evolve into a wave over the next several months.
On two occasions, a pair of F-16 fighters chased the mysterious object, but to no avail.
On March 30, 1990, a frantic call to military headquarters came from a Belgian national police Captain.
He reported a giant flying triangle passing over, and simultaneously two ground radar stations were reporting an object of unknown origin on their screens.
One of these bases was NATO controlled near the city of Glons, southeast of Brussels.
After contacting other radar facilities, they learned that at least four other stations were also reporting the object on their screens.
The object was moving across their screens slowly, and failed to send a transponder signal to identify itself.
Two F-16s were ordered to intercept and identify the phenomena, and one of the jet’s radars was able to lock onto the object.
The pilot reported that only a few seconds after locking on the target the object began to pick up speed, quickly moving out of radar range.
An hour- long chase ensued, during which time the F-16s picked up the strange craft’s signal two additional times, only to see it fade from view.
The triangular craft seemed to be playing a cat and mouse game, and finally was lost in the lights of Brussels.
The pilots of the jets reported that the UFO had made maneuvers at speeds beyond the capability of their technology, and once the radar showed the craft almost instantly drop from 10,000 to 500 feet in five seconds.
The extraordinary sightings continued for months as the triangular invader was witnessed more than 1,000 times, both day and night.
The object dipped low enough to easily be seen with the naked eye, and the event became one of the biggest stories in the Belgian media.
A RECENT PHENOMENON?
One reason that black triangles are considered to be manmade military aircraft is the mistaken impression that all sightings of these craft have been within the last twenty years.
However, research on past UFO reports has uncovered a significant number of triangle-shaped UFOs dating as far back as the 1930’s and possibly even before.
In 1933, Italian leader Benito Mussolini allegedly formed a top secret UFO study group to investigate a flap of flying triangle UFOs being sighted all over Italy at the time.
Active until 1940, the Italian government organization compiled many documents and pictures that were kept secret.
Italian TV station RAI DUE interviewed two Italian ufologists who exhibited two 1933 teletype messages in which Mussolini ordered censorship of any information relating to “possible appearance of crafts of unknown origin or unknown phenomena-especially he notes that he forbids the spreading of information about some kind of triangle-shaped UFO landing near Milano.”
Another interesting report dated from September 1952 concerned the sighting of triangular-shaped UFOs seen during a NATO exercise called “Mainbrace.”
Barely one day into the exercise, Naval personnel on board ships off the coast of Ireland filed at least two reports of encounters with triangle-shaped UFOs.
The first such encounter involved what was referred to as a “blue/green triangle” which was observed flying over the sea at a speed of 1,500 miles per hour; while later that same day, a triangular formation of lights emitting a “white light exhaust” was seen in the same vicinity.
These early reports can only lead us to believe that at least some of the triangle-shaped UFOs cannot be secret aircraft of earthly origin.
The technology possessed by most countries before and after WW II would preclude the possibility of such sightings being the result of secret testing of military aircraft.

It would be irresponsible to completely rule out that at least some recent black triangle UFOs sightings are the result of secret, manmade aircraft using technology not yet known to civilian science.
But considering the history of triangle-shaped UFO sightings, we cannot escape the conclusion that there is a mystery in our skies that so far has evaded easy explanations.
