SIGHTING: RIO DE JANEIRO (BRAZIL)

Witness Testimony

"6 black trianges without any light or sound over a night at Rio de JaneiroIt was 10 years ago, so I don't remember what day it was, but is was in the end of 1994 or beginning of 1995 and at night. I live in a house in the city of Rio de Janeiro, 20kms from downtown and 25kms from Ipanema (yes the same Ipanema from the “Girl from Ipanema” song), 2kms from the coast, in a condo with houses and buildings.(if the location were I live is important, I looked in the yahoo maps for the location http://mapas.yahoo.com.br/mapaxml.asp?arq=10.10.7.2/temp/6218_yahoo____endereco_06032005_235343&jump=#topo ) Me and my 5 friends were talking in the swimming poll at my house (we were not drinking or using other stuffs). I saw a strange light far southeast, it was changing colors, faint, red, green and blue, just one spot. And it was dancing near the top of a distant building. I thought it was someone that taped a small flashing light in a kite, and was playing with it over the building. Then the light made a fast movement down behind the building. I thought: - well, they collected the kite. (Just I saw this light).But when the light disappeared, one of my friends pointed to the sky (west +/- 45 degree), and asked: "What is that?”. Just above us one black triangle, with NO lights and NO sound, was floating, west to east, it seams to be very slow and calm. It seams to be gliding, floating, not flying. But it appears to be going in a straight line.It was a PERFECT triangle with sharp corners, it was not a glider, or a stealth plane (both of them are not a perfect triangle). And it was black, but stealth planes black. And smooth, with nothing visible on if surface.It was a very clear night, without clouds and no wind. We were seeing it because of the reflections on it from the lights of the city. So it was relatively low. Kind the same altitude of the clouds (we can see clouds everyday illuminated from the city light too). As it pass, we could see the rear-end of it and there was no lights or fire from engines. It did appear to be a thin object.It passed over us until disappearing behind another building (not landing over or behind it, it just passed over it). We where amazed and wondering what was that, then we looked west and other TWO black triangles were floating the same direction of the other. They did disappear behind the same building the same way and speed (slow). We were even more amazed and clueless and we looked again to west and the last 2 were coming and did the same trajectory without light or sound.We were very excited at the end, but frustrated for not having a photo or video camera.I don’t know how to describe the size of them. They were very big to see, but not huge like others descriptions that I heard of black triangles. The were probably huge, but due to the distant, they seamed to be just very big to us. Maybe it could cover 8 to 10 full moons lined up.There is a small not-military and not very busy airport 10km north from here, so I know how to identify planes and I know that they are noisy. And the city’s Goodyear Blimp, lands in the same airport almost everyday (sometimes passing south to north over my house), so I know blimps too. Gliders, well I can see all kind of them when I go to the beach here. Theses black triangles we saw are not like anything I ever saw.I don’t know if there were others in Rio that saw, but nothing were reported on the local or national TV or newspaper. If you need, I can take a panoramic photo from the place and draw the size and trajectory of them. Sorry my bad English it is hard to explain this kind of stuff in another language.I hope it was enough detailed. If you have any question, just e-mail me.
