col ored cloud phasing into his sight. The cl oud was stationary in the sky, and - stated it looked very strange, as if it was pixelated or distorted in some other manner . As he watched the cloud, he saw a constant, diffuse red light on the bottom front point of a solid bl ack triangular shaped object corning out of the c l oud towards the south, southeast. The object behind the point became wider and l arger as it exited the c l oud until - saw the entire equilateral triangular object with a red light in each of the three corners. - estimated the triangle UAP was very l arge and coul d have been as large as the parking lot in which he was standing.

He called his wife about 60 seconds later to tell her about the event, and she said that his voice sounded robotic, as if there was e-lectronic i nterference occurri ng with the call. - cell phone service provider was -
