DAMN!!, they look sooo cool!! The government should adopt to the designs to the Black Triangle. So far to UFO's, Black triangles are the new phenomena.

Never heard of these before. Anyone have links, pictures? I'd especially be interested in a list of locations they've been sighted.

I saw one in the early 1990s on a trip from Florida to Pennsylvania. It was in NC just off the interstate at a rest stop. It was in broad daylight and i figured it was some sort of experimental military plane.

I wonder what this is...? It seems as if it couldnt be fake seice there is so many people who saw them. It just seems like a interesting and curious thing, why arent they exploring into what these are? try taking them down or somthing...? It just doesnt seem like they are paying alot of attention to them.

Maybe I'm imagining things here, but isn't there some sort of military craft that's shaped like a black triangle? I forget what it's called, but I know I've seen pictures of it at the air & water show.

[B]I saw a footage of this black triangle some time ago, and it looks just like it but smaller (It looks like this video clip is now broken).There was another interesting footage of a object similar to the black triangle in the same website.I think that it was a fake. I say this black triangle looks like some sort of military craft. Saw it in ufodigest.com/video[SIZE=7]

the F-117 stealth fighter is kinda shaped like a triangle but it wouldnt fly that slow and that one "Aurora" spy plane is supposed to go like mach 6 or something but i dunno if it can go that slow either. Ive read that some of these black triangles can be a quarter mile in length! I dont know if i believe that though.

Covert operations?

A key NIDS conclusion is that the actions of these triangular craft do not conform to previous patterns of covert deployment of unacknowledged aircraft. Furthermore, “neither the agenda nor the origin of the Flying Triangles are currently known.”

The years 1990-2004 have seen an intense wave of Flying Triangle aircraft, the study observes. Sifting through reports by hundreds of eyewitnesses, the NIDS assessment states that the behavior of the vehicles “does not appear consistent with the covert deployment of an advanced DoD [U.S. Department of the Defense] aircraft.”

Rather, it is consistent with (a) the routine and open deployment of an unacknowledged advanced DoD aircraft or ( the routine and open deployment of an aircraft owned and operated by non-DoD personnel, suggests the NIDS study.

“The implications of the latter possibility are disturbing, especially during the post 9/11 era when the United States airspace is extremely heavily guarded and monitored,” the NIDS study explains. “In support of option (a), there is much greater need for surveillance in the United States in the post 9/11 era and it is certainly conceivable that deployment of low altitude surveillance platforms is routine and open.”

Open, even brazen

According to Colm Kelleher, NIDS Administrator, the newly completed quasi “meta-analysis” of Flying Triangles melds three major U.S. databases: NIDS, the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and data collected by independent researcher, Larry Hatch, the creator and owner of one of the largest and most comprehensive UFO databases in the world.

Kelleher said, the analysis indicates that deployment of Flying Triangles is open, not covert, and involves low-flying, brightly lit aircraft routinely deployed over populated areas including cities and Interstate highways.

“However, I cannot say whether these are U.S. Air Force aircraft. We simply don't know,” Kelleher told SPACE.com . “But it does not appear to be consistent with the covert patterns of deployment we saw with the F-117 and B-2 prior to their acknowledgement. This is open, even brazen,” he stated.

You know, I haven't seen a single thing in my entire life that could be considered to be "strange". I just wish that I could break my duck by filming one of these "black triangles" with my digital camcorder

Never heard of them before.
