SIGHTING: MANSFIELD, TEXAS (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"Me and the wife were watching the meteor shower, when we both noticed at the same time a black triangle object that was semi translucent with red lights boardering all sides and red lights on the underside of the object, the largest red/orange light in the middle of the triangle. it was traveling and constant speed from northwest to the southeast. being in the aviation business for more than 20 years and a private pilot, i made note that the object did not have anti collision lights or red/green position lights, nor a directional white landing lights. the object was about 3000ft in the air and their were no sounds associated with it. it appeared to be traveling around 180 to 250kts. it was a perfectly clear night no clouds or haze, yet the object appeared to be semi-cloaked. the object looked wavy as it moved. after about six to 10 seconds of observation as it flew to the southwest, it vanished completely and was no longer visible. i didn't want to take my eyes off of what we were seeing but i did try to get my phone out in time to take a picture before it disappeared, but was unsuccessful. so i took a picture of the exact angle of the sky we were looking at and did a rendering of the object into that picture for reference.
