Spinning triangle over a Massachusetts RV parking lot
On October 2, a witness saw a triangle-shaped, spinning object pass over an RV parking lot in West Springfield City. The report appeared on the UFO Sightings Daily site on October 10, citing NUFORC as its source, and the account comes with a video.
According to the report, the witness was sitting in an RV parking lot when they looked up and saw an object passing far up in the sky. The sighting took place on October 2, 2026, in West Springfield City, Massachusetts. ufosightingsdaily.com cites NUFORC as its source and supplemented the report with comments from its own editor, Scott C. Waring.
According to the witness's description, the object had triangles on its sides, with white lights on them. It did not stop; it moved across the parking lot in a straight, steady line until it eventually shrank to a tiny dot. According to the witness, the object was spinning rapidly.
Waring nuances this: in his view, the object is not a normal triangle but more diamond-like, and in the footage it rotates slowly, turning around roughly once every four to five seconds. Because of the rotation, the image blurs a bit, making it difficult to get a good still image from it. According to him, no LEDs are visible on it, but light surrounds the object, as if a static charge were lighting up the whole thing. He adds that in his view this shape is very rare, which is his own opinion.
What we know and what we don't
What is certain: there is no information about the witness's identity. The witness's and Waring's descriptions of the lights, the shape and the speed of rotation differ slightly: the witness speaks of triangles and white lights, Waring of a diamond-like, faintly glowing object; the witness mentions rapid spinning, Waring a rotation every four to five seconds.
The account gives no altitude, distance, exact time or duration of the sighting, and mentions no independent witness. Nor does it reveal whether anyone examined the footage or looked for a mundane explanation, such as a drone, balloon or aircraft. There is no data on any official response either.
The statement that "This shape of UAP is very rare" is Waring's own judgment, not an expert or official finding. So for now, this is a described, unidentified sighting said to have been captured on video, whose nature is an open question.
The described characteristics, namely the steady, straight-line drift, the gradual shrinking to a dot and the slow, steady rotation, also fit a foil balloon whose sides alternately reflect sunlight as it rotates. This is not a proven explanation, but it is one of the most common identifications for reports like this. An independent analysis of the footage, as well as the exact time and weather data in NUFORC's original entry, could help settle this.
The sober take
The source does not mention any official or expert explanation, and the account did not examine possible mundane causes either. According to the witness, the object moved steadily far up in the sky and gradually became a tiny dot, so the description alone is not sufficient for identification.
