Reports of UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) in the shape of a triangle have been filed for decades, but lately the shape has been appearing in more and more reports. The what and the why of it is, of course, up for speculation, but besides the go-to answer that the UFOs could be under the control of intelligent aliens, there is also a popular, more terrestrial possibility offered as well.

The Daily Express posted its latest list of triangle UFO reports at year’s end, an addendum to a series of articles the British outlet has been running regarding the three-sided aerially mobile objects. The list included UFO sightings from Illinois, Florida, and California, but, as noted, they are just the latest.

Roger Marsh, the Director of Communications at MUFON (Mutual UFO Network), posted an article earlier in the month wherein he noted the prevalence of triangle-shaped UFOs in the news. In fact, the researcher says that it is his favorite shape of UFO, because, among other reasons, the reports are “compelling where the craft is silent and very close to the ground – often just skimming the tops of homes and businesses or local tree tops as it meanders along – and then just as quickly as it appeared – it moves away incredibly fast until it’s a mere speck of light in the distance.” Be that as it may, there were as many triangle UFOs reported in 2016 as there were the more traditional disk-shaped objects.
