August 3, 2023 - The drawing of the triangle shaped object observed in the Latrobe, PA area on August 3, 2023. The drawing is used with permission of the witness.

I received a phone call from a man on August 3, 2023, at 9:57 PM. He wanted to tell me about something he saw at about 2 AM early that morning. He has trouble sleeping so he often takes early morning walks. He was walking several blocks from the downtown section of Latrobe. This area is in the vicinity of the Chestnut Ridge that has a long history of UFO and cryptid encounters.

The witness noticed a series of lights in the sky coming from the Ligonier area and moving west toward Latrobe. He assumed it was an aircraft. As the lights got closer, he observed a large solid dark  and shiny triangular object that was approaching close to his location. At the bottom, the object had one white non-blinking round light on each corner, and one larger non-blinking round red light in the center. Along the side were five small white non blinking lights. The witness estimated the length of the object to have been about 100 to 200 feet from point to point.

The object that was moving slowly but steadily and moving slower than an aircraft. At times there appeared to be some skipping or jittering in its movements or even slightl pivoting. There were no markings visible on the object as it passed over. The object passed overhead at about 1500 feet. The object was completely silent. The object continued to move slowly in the direction of Greensburg.

The man aimed his phone camera at the object to take video. He saw the image on his phone screen. When he got home to look at the video, there was no video footage. He has no idea why it didn’t record. The total observation was about 3 minutes.

Synopsis:

This observation is very similar to the object reported on July 29th in the Mount Pleasant, PA area. Latrobe is about 16 miles from the Mount Pleasant area.
