19Thinly documented UAP Triangle 14 sources

Nottingham. A late night in May 1991. Over the city, at least two triangular craft flew side by side, low and slow, decorated in bright lights. They gave off a deep humming sound. One witness watched them come from Carlton and disappear over Ilkeston. North of the city, in Calverton, Doreen Sylvester was walking her dogs. She saw four massive spotlights in the shape of a cross. Orange and white. About 1,000 feet up. It flew toward her and her husband. The dogs barked. A very deep hum passed overhead. One investigator later claimed to have interviewed over 100 witnesses. The full story is still waiting to be told.
