WHAT ARE BLACK TRIANGLES?

Oh, and to make things interesting, It's MULTIPLE CHOICE! You can only vote once, but you can select more than one Answer. Perhaps you think it could be more than one?

How bout an option for "They're real but I don't know what they are."

Honorable Mr. DorkBot, sir! Good to see you

This one's on the list: NONE OF THE ABOVE: Oh, they're real - but not on this list.
Does that work?

"I don't know" isn't worthwhile for a poll like this one IMO. None of us probably know for certain the answers so it's just a guess/educated guessing game.
If you don't have a guess, don't vote.

Thanks for your "guess", and for your vote, Mr. Hawk!

The triangle that I observed in fall 2005 was translucent with gray rectangles along the outer edges on a cloudy night in my backyard above my house in Melvindale, MI. The triangle a cloud level and house size (ranch size).

I didn't get the "underwater hollow Earth" option. At first I thought it was a joke, but then became unsure. Has this been dealt with somewhere? I don't mean to make anyone retype anything if it has, but if you could tell me what thread or link to it, that would be great.

As for the poll, I don't know what they are and don't favor the general explanations over each other. All possible but none proven to the standards I wish they were. Hopefully some day.

A.LeClair, I don't know. I guess I added that because the "hollow earth" theory has been floating around the blogosphere a lot lately, given the recent discovery of the subterranean ocean and all that.

That's all. It wasn't a joke. I was just trying to throw as many options on the table as possible.

I seem to recall some bizarre encounter while watching a show on the Discovery Channel but it's been a while so I'm not sure where I saw it. The story involved a soldier on training excercise at night and his squad encountered a black triangle. Most of his fellow soldiers were hypnotised in a way but he managed to keep his witts for a while. Other (army) personnel dressed in black outfits 'handled' the soldiers. One soldier has some recollection. Like I said, it was somewhat bizarre and I don't recall any names. Have any of you heard about this story or similar ones?

I feel somewhat stupid saying this, but I will. I don't really know what the phenonema of "black triangles" is. I never even read this part of the forum.
Well, Tom, here is the reason I am writing this - I am now listening to your episode of the Paracast and am now interested and intrigued! I will familiarize myself with this part of the forum and look forward to learning some new things.
Nice job on the show! You obviously know your stuff and care about your research. You can also speak in plain English and are easy to follow and understand and you don't prejudge everything. Kudos and thanks!!!
