Silent, dark chevron-shaped object flew over us and faded from view



My 8 year old son and I were out for a walk outside our apartment in District 2, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. We stopped to look up at the stars in the clear night sky at about 7:30pm.

Suddenly my son pointed and exclaimed “Dad! Look at that!”

It took me a moment to make it out, but distinctly against the night sky there was a dark gray/navy “V” chevron shape to the south moving north towards us, pointy end leading. The leading tip of the chevron was an angle of about 45 degrees. It had sharp angles and shimmered around the edges, kind of like if I were looking at it through a hazy mirage. It trailed the shimmering for about half to full width of the object. It was hard to make out because it closely matched the color of the night sky, but it was just a bit darker. Totally silent.

My son claimed to see 5-6 dim orange-ish lights on the underside. I didn’t see any lights, although his eyes are sharper than mine. He also said he saw a cube-shaped object closely trailing the chevron, almost a part of it. I don't recall that, but I do recall there was a roiled air or vapor shimmering trailing the object closely, like a ripple. It may have contained another object shape close to the chevron or otherwise account for what my son reported.

We watched the object pass over us and across the Saigon river moving north. It moved in a straight line and uniform modest speed. It faded out on the other side of the river. I couldn't tell if the light angle changed such that we lost sight of it, or if it just faded and disappeared. About 30 seconds total viewing time.

I have no idea how far up it was because there was no reference point. My gut told me it was not close to the ground, up at least a few hundred meters and probably more. If that’s true it was massive. The wingspan (if you can call it that lol) was about the width of 3-4 fingers held together at arm's length. Much larger than I am accustomed to seeing jetliners.

Really no clue what this was, other than highly unlikely it can be explained by weather phenomena. I earned my private pilot's license and enjoy amateur sky-watching, so am familiar with aircraft. This was like nothing I've ever seen. The regular shape, sharp angles, uniform speed and direction suggested intelligent control -- by whom, I've no idea.

By NUFORC / National UFO Reporting Center

The National UFO Reporting Center was founded in 1974 by noted UFO investigator Robert J. Gribble. The Center’s primary function over the past four decades has been to receive, record, and to the greatest degree possible, corroborate and document reports from individuals who have been witness to unusual, possibly UFO-related events.  Throughout its history, the Center has processed over 150,000 reports, and has distributed its information to thousands of individuals.

The principal means used by the Center to receive sighting reports is this website, which has operated continuously since 1994.   Prior to that period, the telephone hotline and the U.S. mail were the primary means of taking reports.   

The Center’s independence from all other UFO related organizations, combined with its long standing policy of guaranteed anonymity to callers, has served to make it perhaps the most popular and widely accepted national UFO reporting facility anywhere.   The website and hotline are well known by law enforcement agencies, FAA ARTCC’s and flight service stations, National Weather Services offices, military facilities, NASA, and many 911 emergency dispatch centers all across the United States and in many parts of Canada. Those entities routinely direct the calls they receive regarding possible UFO sightings to the Center.

One of the Center’s policies, which distinguishes its operations from most other UFO organizations, is that it makes available to the public all of its data in summary form. Detailed information is made available to experienced UFO investigators.   

The National UFO Reporting Center is a non-profit Washington State corporation, and it is applying for federal 501 C (3) non-profit status.
