"Don't laugh at me..." - UFOs Form Triangle OVer Austin

• When: May 26th, 2013
• Where: Austin
• What: Three orbs in triangle formation

On the night of the 26th, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus formed a triangle and for anyone who noticed, it was likely a beautiful sight. On the same night, a Texan spotted a triangle formation of lights, but he thinks they're drones or something else more mysterious - not just stars. In his original testimony (which he posted on web site he contributes to), there really is no reason to assume the UFOs aren't stars. However, in some follow up comments, a person who saw something similar in Wisconsin stated that they were multi-colored and actually disappeared after a while - that sounds more like a drone to me. As always, though, you can be the judge. Check out photos and people debating the sighting below.


Star formation vs UFO sighting:

May 26th Star Formation

Witness' Rendering

Here's the full UFO report, posted on the witness' web site, called "From the Trenches World Report":

Don’t laugh at me as I had seen something along the lines of a UFO sighting a little while ago 9pm central time 5/26/13 in West Austin, TX. The pattern was along the lines of the simple photoshop image that I created as I didn’t have a camera with me and when I got home and grabbed my camera, it was gone. The pattern of lights stayed in the air until about 9:30pm and I was getting a pizza with my wife at Caesars Pizza near an HEB grocery center off of the I-35 and Parmer Rd in Austin, TX. We noticed no one even thought anything of it and went on with their daily lives as though it was nothing.   

All I know is that there were three dots in the sky in a triangle shaped pattern like the one shown in the pic I made and number 1 was the smallest, number 2 was a little bigger and number 3 was the brightest and bigger than 1 and 2.

At first I thought they might be aircraft circling for a landing, but they were NOT moving and were in the same place for the entire time I saw them.

Second, I thought it might be some star formation, but these three dots in the sky were A LOT BRIGHTER and A LOT CLOSER than the other stars. Almost like a group of planes circling for a landing, but again, they were NOT moving.

The only thing I can think of is a possible drone formation.

Either way, it looked like the “Bermuda Triangle” of light formation and seemed as though a spaceship was going to warp through the formation or something.

I am not crazy as my wife and some others saw it too. It just amazes me that no one says anything unless you mention it first.

Does anyone know what to make of this kind of formation?

And here are some quotes from the debate that rages in the comments section of this "blog" entry -  were these UFOs or Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter, or a few drones parked in the night sky?

It’s just a drone. I used to see them all the time in Oregon. -us

... it was the planets which are very visible to the naked eye right now. Makes sense it was seen in WI as well. Folks you might be wise to click the link Angelfire posted. Looks like the image of what NC posted. - katie

Same thing in Madison, WI last night!
And, sorry Angelfire, NO it was not the planets! As cloudy and rainy as it was here last night they would not have been visible!. Also, to the naked eye the movement of the planets is unnoticeable and this thing hovered motionless for a while the moved, stalled and moved again before it disappeared.
I could hear no sound at all and through 7×30 binoculars. We couldn’t see anything more than the lights. My nephew said he could see color in the lights, red, green and a white one that he thought was flashing. Maybe my old eyes are failing but I couldn’t detect any colors but yes one did seem to be a strobe like light.
My opinion is that it was a surveillance drone. I wonder how may other cities experienced this?
Maybe it’s time to make a tin foil hat! LOL - rhumstruck
