There are references to triangular shaped UFOs in the literature before the 1980s. The following are appropriate page references to one of the fundamental books in the UFO literature you may wish to familiarize yourself with, Edward J. Ruppelt's, 'The Report On Unidentified Flying Objects'. The index references provided below are abstracted from my Comprehensive Index of Edward J. Ruppelt's, 'The Report On Unidentified Flying Objects'. The page numbers provided here are for the Doubleday and Company 1956 edition. ------------ abstracted from: Comprehensive Index for the THE REPORT ON UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS Gary Alevy (C) Copyright 1999 Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) description of UFOs appearance 3, 17, 19, 20, 21, 25, 36, 40, 43, 46, 56, 71, 75, 78, 80, 84, 85, 92, 95, 112, 120, 121, 130, 146, 151, 153, 179, 187, 196, 202, 204, 236, 237 uncommon types cigar shaped 150, 194 delta wing 11 flying wing 96, 97, 103, 104, 108, 109 pear shaped 97, 102 spherical 12, 113, 144, 160, 169, 175, 195, 196, 202 splitting into three pieces 189 splitting into two triangles 227 triangle shaped 227 ----------- Cheers, Gary Alevy
