Triangle in shape. Was around 12yro at time. Reminded me of something out of Star Wars.

This happened back in the 80's I was around 12yro at the time. I was walking home from a friends house with my sister one night it was on a weekend as I remember my parents had friends over. As me and my sister got onto the porch of our house a craft came up out of the woods across the street. I remember thinking this looks like something out of star wars lol, it was kind of triangular in shape. I told my sister to go get our parents. I stood and watched this craft turn and observed lights lighting up from the rear of the craft and then it just shot off. Of course my parents missed seeing it they were too busy with their friends. When they did come out I was to them just a kid with a big imagination. But I saw this and today I'm 42 yro. And I still tell about this event to some people. Whether they believe me or not I really don't care I know what I saw.

My wife and I also seen this ship, i thought the same thing that it looked alot like one of these space craft from star wars. We both saw it for a total of about 3 mins 45 secs one early morning while we were camping, all night i was using a high powered green laser to point out star consolation to my wife.

Just as the sky turned to dawn, this massive brown/tan aircraft, so big I couldnt cover it with my hand turned with my arm fully extended. I remember these deep orange lights strobe from the side, very small lights and strobed from the rear to the front point along the side like a airport runway. The top was mostly flat but it had this tower on top, i could clearly see the top and bottom panels and the side had like ports or doors scattered all along it. I also remember these slow glowing red lights coming off the tower and as it passed, we saw the back of it. The back had 3 huge but the center one was bigger maybe by 20% they glowed like a hot iron color, like ambers of a fire. The entire time we saw it, not a sound was heard. There was one main light on the underside, just a small red ball like, Which turned off as it passed infront of us. Im not sure if the color of its tan body was because of dawn breaking light onto it or if it just was tan, but it also looked tan in the shadow parts of the ship. It looked like a aircraft carrier but it was flying with no wings, no rotors. Im a Marine and even though we were by the army base Big Red One maybe 30 miles away, I knew this was way beyond our human capabilities with technology. Ill never forget seeing that huge massive beast of a ship. I Did see some what look like poles coming off the sides but they didnt look like guns more like antenna. Short, also the front wasnt a perfect arrow tip, it had like a pocket or maybe a air intake or receiveing bay? It was small but both sides made a point that didnt meet but hung over the front but still looked pointy. Im always being careful to not add things to my memory, and I can still close my eyes and see it pass by like im there seeing it again. Im glad to hear others have seen it too, not only in other places, but my wife was standing with me when we saw it.

To add to my comment, We had seen the ship fly over during country stampede, a country concert outside Manhattan Kansas, on tuttle creek. It was June 30th 2017 or 2016. We went every year, but only saw it the one time. It was approximately 5:15 am I remember my wife asking what time it was because we saw the sun coming up and realizing the time. However we were wide awake especially when we saw that craft, infact i became so awake, i stayed up the next night to try and see it again but never did.
