Texas - 09-15-09

Last night I was outside talking on my phone and laying on the trunk of my car looking straight up at the sky. It was partly cloudy but you could still see stars, especially overhead.

Suddenly something caught my eye moving from behind a cloud that was in the northern part of the sky. I turned to focus on the object and for the first few seconds I couldn't make out what it was, only that it was an object traveling from north to south.

When it got directly overhead I could see that it was a huge, black triangle, except that the back part of the triangle was concaved toward the front point. All black except for the dim light that it produced from the center front middle of the under belly.

The dim light was what had originally caught my eye when I first noticed the object, it was completely silent as it glided overhead. I watched it for a few more seconds until I lost sight of it in cloud cover as the craft traveled south in a straight line same altitude.

I'm not sure how high it was, only that it was flying a lot higher than say a Cessna airplane, but not as high as a commercial airliner. I'm not sure how fast it was traveling, only that it took about to 6-8 seconds to fly over from one side of the sky to the other, but that is including the clouds that were on the horizons.

It was about the size of what a half dollar would look like if it were in your hand with your arm fully extended toward the sky. It was big, it was fast, it was silent and it was an awesome experience!
