Triangular Craft Near Edwards Air Force Base

This account contains an intriguing association with the "skyquakes" reported in certain areas of the U.S. The exact date of the encounter is uncertain, but seems to have been late 1993.

I have summarised this account using only the verbatim testimony of the witness and have their confirmation that this summary is an accurate record of events. This witness has also requested anonymity.

I swear this craft just appeared over my head. This was at about 10:00 a.m. on a bright, sunny day. There was one of those skyquakes, then in a minute or two after that, (I was outside) the atmosphere seemed to get "heavy" like it was pushing down on me, and it got warm. I have dogs and they were growling and when I looked up, suddenly this craft was over my head, fairly close too. I felt it there before I actually saw it. I did not see it, or hear it approach except for noticing the change in the atmosphere, suddenly it was just there, as if becoming visible for the first time.

It appeared to be gunmetal gray, almost black, but not quite. I'd say the shape was - triangular, a regular triangle. It was exactly like the craft - well, no, but very close to the craft in the second episode of the X-Files.

I'm not sure how to describe how big this craft was. It was big, but not giant. It was wider than a helicopter but not as wide as the stealth fighter wing span, or maybe it was close to that. And it was very close to me, so close that I had a hard time keeping my eyes open because of the pressure it caused in the air. The eerie part was the silence for a craft hovering so close. It wasn't far above the roof of our kennel and looked close enough to almost touch. I'm not a very good judge of measurements so I can't say for sure how high above me it actually was, but it seemed rather close, I'd guess about 25 feet

I was almost directly below it, so I only saw the bottom. It had lights around the edges of the triangle, but I couldn't say how many and they didn't appear to be on. I can say for certain that I saw lights at each one of the three corners of the craft and at least one on each of the sides. I did see what appeared to be either a large light or a window directly in the centre of the triangle.

I can't say if the edges were round or flat as I couldn't really focus on it for a long time because I couldn't keep my eyes open. It was sort of like standing under helicopter blades - you have to shield your eyes. I didn't hear any engines or whirring or humming, and there was no real air movement to speak of, just this pressurized feeling and the warmth.

It was there about a minute, give or take a few seconds, then it disappeared from view - I did not see the craft move at all, it just wasn't visible anymore. It disappeared just as suddenly as it appeared and was gone again without any visible movement. It was pretty creepy. I'm not unused to seeing things in the sky. I don't live that far from Edwards Air Force Base, as the crow flies and I'm used to seeing the stealth planes, even when they denied the existence of them. Those looked like giant bats in the distant sky. This triangular craft was the same color as the stealth planes, which leads me to believe they are experimental military planes.
