A massive cluster of unknown flying objects was spotted near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, a military installation long rumored to be linked toUFOactivity.
Witnesses near theOhiobase captured the craft on April 8, showing a silent triangle of glowing lights moving in perfect formation before splitting apart mid-flight.
The lights appeared to drift slowly downward, flickering, pulsing and changing brightness individually as they hovered in the night sky.
Reports described the sighting as having 'no sound, no standard navigation lights, movement unlike any known aircraft, drone swarm or satellite.'
The video was reportedly taken from Rainbow Lakes, a 60-acre outdoor recreational retreat in Fairborn, about four miles from the base.
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) has drawn renewed attention in recent months, as its research laboratory was previously led by retired Major General William Neil McCasland,who disappeared earlier this year.
McCasland, 68,went missing fromhis New Mexico home on February 28, reportedly leaving with only hiking boots and a .38-caliber revolver.
He led the Air Force Research Laboratory from May 2011 until his retirement in 2013, a facility long associated in UFO lore with alleged materials recovered after the 1947 Roswell incident.
