A group of Maryland star gazers were startled March 19, 2010, when they realized it was a triangle-shaped UFO that was blocking out a star, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

"I had a double-take and when I looked again, I saw a triangular shaped craft with four orange lights," the reporting witness stated. "Three of these four lights were located near the tips of the craft while the fourth was in the middle. I was in shock."

Witnesses to triangle-shaped UFOs typically report four orange lights, or three white lights at the tips, and an orange or red light underneath the object.

"This object wasn't hard to see or obscured by clouds, and I could CLEARLY make out the shape and lights on it."

This is the fourth UFO report for Maryland so far in March. There were three reports in February and six reports in January.

The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Maryland MUFON State Director Ron Fink investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update.

Maryland, March 19, 2010 - A triangular shaped craft with four orange lights passed silently over my neighborhood. It was very clear. MUFON Case # 22511.

My friends and I were outside since it was nice out. There were seven of us. One of the little kids made two of my friends mad so I suggested we lay down in my friends driveway and look at the stars.

We were talking when I noticed the light from a star was blocked out for a moment.

I had a double-take and when I looked again, I saw a triangular shaped craft with four orange lights. Three of these four lights were located near the tips of the craft while the fourth was in the middle. I was in shock.

I live in a busy area and my father and I are involved with astronomy and own two telescopes. We both look at the stars all of the time and live near an airport, so we have a VERY clear idea of what a plane looks like at night.

This object wasn't hard to see or obscured by clouds, and I could CLEARLY make out the shape and lights on it. When I saw it, I immediately stood up and shouted to everyone and pointed out the object.

One of my friends saw it and kept his eye on it. The object was relatively slow and very low, moving northwest. This friend always blew off anything about UFO's and thought the whole idea of it was bogus. That is no longer the case.

Two other people caught a glance of it, but saw it just before it escaped our point of view. Of course, no one else saw it and when we talk about it they just belittle us. But my friend and I know what we saw.
