Triangular Craft Glides Silently Over Mobile Alabama in 1973

On October 17 1973 around 10 PM several credible witnesses in Mobile Alabama including local residents and a police officer reported seeing a large triangular shaped object hovering and then gliding silently over the city.

The craft measured an estimated 200 feet across with bright white lights at each corner and a red light in the center. It moved slowly at low altitude without any sound or visible propulsion system.

The sighting lasted several minutes and was reported to authorities the same night. No conventional aircraft matched the description and the incident became part of the 1973 UFO wave that drew attention from investigators across the United States.

Official reports noted the reliability of the observers and the lack of any radar returns or explanations from military sources.
