As previously stated the undercarriage was well illuminated with a large
white light at each corner, and a light in the center. The
undercarriage also appeared recessed, and I could see some sort of
superstructure. As the craft passed above, I slowed the car to a virtual
stop, and leaned out of the driver’s side window. The side of the craft
appeared to have several illuminated windows, and at one of the
windows I saw two to three figures that appeared to be human.
(Certainly nothing about the figures made me think they were anything
other than human, reinforcing my belief that the craft was a military
project). I could see one of the figures either pointing or waving
in my direction. Whilst watching the craft, it slowly and silently
slipped back into the low cloud and disappeared.
What makes this sighting believable - is they heard a low humming noise.
This is PRECISELY what I heard when I saw this craft so close I could have hit it with a rock!!!!
Most people report this craft as being "silent." Why? Because they are not CLOSE ENOUGH to the craft they are observing.
Also they report that the craft LOOKS SOLID and not a dirigible. That also was my impression. they also thought it was military. That was my impression as well.
Dear Mr. Marler,
I have just read your book “Triangular
UFOs an estimate of the situation.” I found the book to be most
informative since I myself had a close sighting of a triangular UFO in
1990. I always assumed that what I saw was a top-secret military aircraft,
and over the years I have read about such projects as the TR-3B (TR-3B
real or fictitious who knows?) At any rate, I was quite happy with my
assumptions until I read your book which revealed that such craft were
seen as far back as the 1930’s and even in the late 1800’s. Obviously, I
found this to be quite thought provoking and as led me to re-assess
what I saw that night. I therefore decided to send you this e-mail
outlining the events of that night, and would appreciate any comments
from your perspective. Please keep in mind, it is now 23 years since my
sighting, and some of the detail is by now a little fuzzy. I have
therefore left out anything of which I am not certain. I have also
attempted to attach what I know to be a poorly drawn sketch (it goes
without saying I’m no artist). Also, I would add that at the time a
serving Police Officer, and have since retired after 30 years of
service.
On the evening of August 25, 1990 my then
wife and I had attended at Manchester Main Road football stadium to
watch the band Fleetwood Mac. At the end of the concert, it took some
time to get out of the makeshift car park, and through the heavy
traffic, the time was around midnight. Our route home to Barnsley took
us over the Woodhead pass, which crosses over the Pennine hills, and is
surrounded in the main by open moor land. That particular night,
stretches of the road were covered with low cloud or mist causing poor
visibility. As a result, I was forced to drive slowly, approximately 20
mph. Due to the late hour, the road was quiet, and my wife had wound
back her seat and fallen asleep. I cannot say exactly where the sighting
took place due to the poor visibility, but I believe I was nearer to
the Barnsley end of the Woodhead Pass, possibly around the Board Hill
area.
Whilst driving slowly, and trying to
concentrate on the road, my attention was drawn skywards due to
intermittent flashes of light which I assumed to be sheet lightning
(though there was no accompanying sounds of thunder). It was whilst
glancing skywards that I saw the nose of a huge black triangular craft
push through the low cloud and mist. As the craft emerged further, I
could see it was approximately 200-300 feet in length and width at its
widest part. It travelled pointed end first, and was well illuminated
around its undercarriage. The craft was moving at a speed of around 10
mph, and was approximately 200 feet above the road. On seeing the craft,
I wound down my car window, but could hear only a very low (almost
imperceptible) humming sound. I could see that the craft was of a solid
construction (not inflatable). This fact, the slow speed, and quietness
gave the craft an eerie impression. I have little knowledge of
aerodynamics, but even I knew that conventionally something so big and
solid should be traveling at hundreds of miles an hour in order to stay
aloft. (Therefore, to my mind, it was somehow defying gravity).
As previously stated the undercarriage
was well illuminated with a large white light at each corner, and a
light in the center. The undercarriage also appeared recessed, and I
could see some sort of superstructure. As the craft passed above, I
slowed the car to a virtual stop, and leaned out of the driver’s side
window. The side of the craft appeared to have several illuminated
windows, and at one of the windows I saw two to three figures that
appeared to be human. (Certainly nothing about the figures made me think
they were anything other than human, reinforcing my belief that the
craft was a military project). I could see one of the figures
either pointing or waving in my direction. Whilst watching the craft, it
slowly and silently slipped back into the low cloud and disappeared. At
this stage I drove off the road and climbed out of my car, but could
see and hear nothing. By now my wife was awake, but too late to see the
craft. I observed the craft for approximately 30 seconds which does not
sound long, but believe me it was. I submit my story for your
information, and would welcome any insight or comment from yourself. For
obvious reasons, I do not make my story common knowledge, and I would
be grateful if you kept my details private.

Now this is my area - and is the SAME SIZE as what I saw!! Amazing.
One possible explanation could be that they are being utilized as liquid
nitrogen cooling pipes to chill a super-conductor or liquid mercury
plasma. These pipes would be used to cool the central “core” of the
craft, which may explain the “donut shaped” or circular opening seen by
multiple eyewitnesses. In fact, it appears that due to their placement,
these pipes not only cool the central portion of these vehicles but the
entire craft itself as one fully integrated unit. It seems clear that
the material used to manufacture these triangular shaped craft is truly
of an exotic nature. This is because materials must be in an extremely
low energy state (very cold) to become “superconductive.” Of course,
this requires a tremendous amount of energy or electrical power to
achieve, which may explain the low frequency “humming” sound heard by
multiple eyewitnesses in the vicinity of these craft. The cryogenic
equipment associated with these objects produce extremely powerful
electromagnetic fields around the craft which may explain the reports of
strange effects such as radio static, and automobile engines
mysteriously turning off and coming back on when the craft departs.
In 1967, the Norair Division of Northrop began experimenting with highly
charged electrostatic fields on a metal test probe. The results of
these studies concluded that an aircraft’s “sonic boom footprint” and
could be significantly reduced or eliminated entirely. They also
discovered that the problems associated with supersonic heating could
also be drastically lowered. Obviously, these breakthroughs could have
potentially incredible military applications to advanced aircraft. Now,
factor in the billions of dollars spent each year on classified “black”
programs, and its entirely within the capability of the American
aerospace industry to design built and fly aircraft that could be
mistaken for “extraterrestrial” UFOs. Ref: AIAA (American Institute of
Aeronautics and Astronautics Technical Paper No. 68-24 published January
23, 1968)
