Triangle UFO (October 19th, 2016, Saratoga, NY)

This entry, though brief, is one that has sat with me heavily since it happened.

At the time Elizabeth and I were sharing a car. We were living in Glens Falls NY, and I was working in Wilton, NY (just north of Saratoga). 

My shift ended shortly after 9pm and Elizabeth picked me up. We drove to I-87 and took the Exit 15 on-ramp north, toward Glens Falls.

We spoke and I was playing with my phone. Shortly after passing the area where we had our accident a year before, we were in a lull in the conversation and Elizabeth said:

"Asa, what the fuck is that?"

She was looking up out through the windshield and at the sky.

This is my Facebook post from immediately after:

I wrote that post quickly, attempting to get all the important details recorded.

"The Northway" is the local name for that stretch of I-87, and "Just below 16" means exit 16. 

To my memory (an important factor, momentarily) the event happened like this:

Elizabeth said "Asa, what the fuck is that?". I looked up at her, then to where she was looking out the windshield.

Above us, just above the dim treeline, was a large black triangle. If I were to approximate a guess at size, I would say each side ran 250 to 300 feet, based on the approximate distance above the trees. The bottom of the triangle was faintly illuminated by greenish lights, one on each point and smaller ones (though my memory is hazy the more I think about it) along the edges. The faint glow of the lights revealed what I would describe (definitely inaccurately) as gridwork. The bottom was not smooth, but made up of parts. 

The craft then banked to the right quickly and flew quick enough away to the south east that I would nearly describe it as disappearing. 

The entire event took place over the span of less that 10 seconds.

Now, as I said, memory is an important factor here, and the more I consider this event, the hazier it becomes. I have trouble reconciling it with reality, and I often question if it ever happened. I know it did. I have a memory, though hazy. I have this Facebook post from immediately after. My mind just does not want to accept it.

Also, interesting notes regarding Elizabeth; 

While spending time with friends and retelling this story recently, Elizabeth mentioned that she never saw it. However, I watched her looking at it. I spoke with her in depth about it. We both saw it. She also expressed to me on multiple occasions how before seeing it, she was suddenly "compelled" to look up at that moment. On an "instinctual" level. However, since she has for whatever reason wiped the sighting from her memory, she now believes that she was compelled to ask me to look up, as if she was unable.
