Then something triangular, unlit and very quiet flew overhead. I can't say how big it was because there was no point of reference, It was a moonless night & it only blanked out the stars. That was the only way anyone saw it. There was lots of "Whoa, what was that?", "Did you just see that?" etc etc. But tbh, it was quickly overlooked, sex was on the agenda after all! I must add this was in East Anglia, Mildenhall, Lakenheath etc about 30 miles to run, in aviation terms "just down the road"

TR-3A Black Manta, TR-3B Astra - What are these black triangle UFOs" on YouTube.
Black triangles have been seen many, many times. One wonders if they are another example of a new military craft that is yet to be revealed, in the same way that the F-117 Nighthawk was kept a closely guarded secret for years before it was announced. Anyone seeing it in the early 1980s could be forgiven for thinking it was an ET UFO.
