SIGHTING: REDDING, CALIFORNIA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"We were sitting in our hot tub on a clear night 12-13-17. my wife said "look...Two triangles" i was surprised at her statement at first as she was very surprised! it was about 8:30 p.M. i looked straight up and saw two triangular aircraft flying slowly, very close to each other, in a staggered pattern heading south. each with three "very white lights" forming a triangle with a very faint outline of a triangular body. i would guess an altitude of 10-15,000 ft since we are in the flight path of commercial jets flying though california. compared to what we normally see size wise of jets these two crafts were twice the size of a commercial jet based on their normal altitude. both were very vivid. the white lights were unlike normal commercial aircraft. occasionally we could see a random white light flash..But very randomly. no colored navigation lights like normal commercial aircraft. no sounds noted. after about 15 seconds they separated with one gradually fading east while the other continued heading south. we watched both for about 4 minutes as they faded into the eastern and southern horizon. i'm not sure what they were but they were not normal by any means. the whiteness of the lights were very bright similar to small white led lights. the closeness of them flying together seemed very unusual for typical aircraft. one was slightly behind the other and the distance between them was equal to their size."
