There are predominantly three shapes when it comes to UFOs: the traditional flying saucer, orbs or spheres, and triangular. The reason why these are the most common UFO shapes is unknown, but based on years of reports of sightings, those are what appear the most often.
NASA has said in the past that unexplained orbs have been reported all over the world. More recently, however, a couple of Los Angeles residents recently spotted and recorded a triangle-shaped UFO flying over the city.
According to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), this is not a new occurrence in the area. This particular UFO also had two V-shaped rows of circular white lights on it when it was recorded around 11:38 p.m. local time on August 28.
Unexplained triangle-shaped craft appears over Los Angeles
“While sitting on my balcony I saw a light in the sky bigger than stars usually appear,” one of the witnesses explained. “I took out my phone to zoom in to see what it was and started taking pictures and videos.
“It stayed in the same area for about 25-30 minutes for the first time I saw it. It moved around a little bit but didn’t go too far. At the end it just flew off in the south direction until I couldn’t see it anymore.”
Some speculated that the UFO could have been a kite, but that seems unlikely. Another explanation is that is was an unmanned drone testing out new technology for the United States government.
“I’m convinced that a lot of famous UFO incidents are basically highly advanced terrestrial technology that is 30 to 40 years ahead of what we think they have,” UFO researcher and filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee told the Daily Mail.
UFOs in Mexico go viral, spook local residents
Meanwhile in Mexico, on Wednesday, September 17, three UFOs were seen flying over Tulcingo de Valle, in Puebla, in a triangle-shaped formation. Video of the crafts was shared online by infamous researcher and journalist Jaime Maussan and quickly went viral.
In the video, three large lights appear over a hill in the distance flying in a V-shaped formation. They are soon joined by a fourth which seemed to almost detach from one of the other three. The lights eventually end up in an almost straight line before the video ends as the witnesses decided they had seen enough and headed for safety. One of the witnesses can be heard in the video saying that the lights “formed from nothing” and that seeing them had them “shaking.”
Some people speculated that the UFOs may have come from or were going to Popocatepetl, a volcano located about 90 miles away that is often cited as being an alien base. Others, according to local media, believe they were merely lanterns or drones. Thus far, no concrete explanation has been provided for either the UFO in Los Angeles or the strange crafts recorded in Mexico.
