Mystery of UFO in the sky

On a summer's evening in the early nineties, the sun had just sunk below the Clee Hills but it was still very light with clear blue sky.

Looking south from My bedroom window towards the Clent Hills. I observed three black triangular shaped craft approaching, flying in a triangle formation one lead aircraft and two wing men.

Having done some flight training in light aircraft, I would say they were about 1.5 to two thousand feet high travelling north at 40 knots.Which is very slow for any aircraft.

They passed over my house each had three orange lights on the underside just inboard of each corner. The lights were duller than normal aircraft lights and constant not flashing.

Moving to the front bedroom and opening the window. I watched them slowly disappeared no engine noise at all. They would pass to the west of Wolverhampton heading towards Stafford maybe Sleighford.

Next day I was standing on my front drive talking to my son (in later life he went on to work in air traffic control). I said to him it was about this time last night that I saw those strange aircraft.

Looking up I said there they are, exactly the same formation course height and speed. We observed them for about two minutes until they disappeared over the old Burton road hospital towards Wolverhampton.

This was several years before the typhoon Eurofighter and they were a different shape. No jet powered aircraft could move that slow and with no noise. Every time we hear about these black triangles we go back to the early nineties and our own sighting.
