Recently I was driving down highway 237 past Moffet field (California) at night and a large dark aircraft was coming in for a landing. It stood out against the night sky as totally black (the sky has a lot of ambient light in this area). There seemed more than the ussual number of red flying lights and although the plane was only there for a few seconds it seemed to be triangular in shape. I noted this because I could not see the lighter sky under/behind its wings. So the question, could this be some kind of experimental craft or is it just a trick on the eyes at night? jz1@netcom.com ------------------------------ From: "'totally confused'" Date: Sat, 1 Jul 1995 00:44:02 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Odd Shapes at Night?
