Closest Distance: Unsure but around a city block

Characteristics: Lights on object

Saw silent, low-flying triangular craft with bright circular lights; hovered above trees, vanished.

I was driving and noticed lights ahead and initially thought it was an airplane but it was moving really slow, flying low, and had a lot of light emanating from it. As I got closer I noticed a triangular shape at the back and the lights beneath it were circular (like receding lights in your ceiling). There were 6 or 8. 3 or 4 on each side and they were white lights. I had to slow down to about 5 mph so I wouldn't pass it and as I approached, I noticed the nose of it was flat and there was a cutout at the front. It looked like something you would see in a futuristic movie or and alien movie. I was captivated by the unique shape and details at the front. I remember not hearing any noise that you would expect from an aircraft.

If it weren't for the lights I could have passed right by it at about 5 or 10 mph. There are only houses and empty lots with trees where it was hovering and it was right above the treeline. It was obscured by the trees as I passed along side it and when I looked for it, it was gone. We didn't see it anywhere. I was with my nephew who is almost 10 and I kept asking him if he saw it and he said yes and we just kept saying what is that! and I don't know. He was closer to it on the passenger side and after we lost sight of it I kept asking if he saw it and he said "IT DISAPPEARED". IT'S NOT THERE ANYMORE.

I am confident in what I saw and know it's not like anything I've seen on the internet or with my own eyes. I've googled different military aircraft and couldn't find anything that resembled the front. I am not confident in the back as I was so captivated by the front and the lights on the bottom. I came home and immediately drew it. Today I used the paint application and AI to get as close as possible to the details.

NUFORC Note: INVESTIGATION REPORT

Witness: J
Incident date/time: 7-1-2025 at 9:05pm EST
Incident duration: 5 to 10 seconds
Phone interview date/time: 7-17-2025 at 9am PST

On 7-17-2025 at 9am PST I contacted J by phone to interview her about her triangle sighting on 7-1-2025 at 9:05pm EST. J stated that she was driving on SW 60th Ave near PRP Aviation LLC in Ocala, Florida. She added that it was approximately 9:05pm EST, and it was dark outside because there weren't a lot of lights out on this country road. J stated that her 10 year old nephew was in the front passenger seat, and her two nieces were in the back of the vehicle.

J stated that she noticed several bright lights in the sky ahead of her, and originally thought it was an airplane. J then stated that as she got closer to the craft she realized it wasn't an airplane because it was in the shape of a triangle and was either hovering above the treeline or moving very slowly. J stated that the 6 lights were very bright and looked to her like receding lights you see on a ceiling. J then added that there were 3 lights on each side of the triangle.

J stated that she slowed her vehicle down to approximately 5mph so she could see the craft better. J added that even at 5mph, she still couldn't tell if the craft was hovering or moving slowly. Jaqueline stated that she was both excited and shocked and kept asking her nephew if he saw the craft as well, which he told her he did. J stated that she had to duck down in her car to see the craft as they passed by it, and added that there were no other vehicles on the road at the time of the sighting.

J stated that the sighting was only about 5 to 10 seconds long, so she didn't have much time to observe everything on the craft. J stated that she did remember seeing the 6 large lights, and also a mist around the craft that might have been from the overcast weather. J also stated that the craft was a dark steel gray color with possibly some purple coloring as well. J added that the craft was completely silent and there was no air disruption that she could see.

J stated that when she was closest to the craft, she estimated that it was less than a block away. She then stated that what appeared to be the front of the craft didn't come to a point like a triangle, but instead it was rounded and had a hole in it that you could see through. J stated that the AI picture she submitted on her initial NUFORC report better showed what the front looked like. J then stated that the craft was roughly the size of a two-person airplane, and it was above the treeline which she estimated was as high as a two-story house.

J stated that after she passed the craft, she kept asking her nephew if he could still see it. She then stated that he saw the craft for a few seconds, then he stated that the craft had disappeared. J stated that the craft may have just turned off its lights because the only reason why she saw the craft in the first place was because of the lights. J added that when the craft lights were on, she could see a structured triangle craft, but she was pretty certain that if the lights were off, she wouldn't have been able to see it at all.

Conclusion

J stated that if she observed this craft by herself, she would have thought she was hallucinating or misidentified a conventional aircraft. She then added that she kept asking her nephew if he saw the craft because she wanted to make sure someone else saw it as well. J stated that she grew up near an airport, and knows for certain that she would have heard the sound of a conventional aircraft when she passed by the silent triangle.

I emailed and left a phone message at PRP Aviation LLC and will update this report if necessary. FlightRadar24 showed nothing. J stated that she only made a report to NUFORC.
