LAFAYETTE — Three red lights in a triangle shape were spotted hovering in the sky by several Lafayette residents Monday around 8:30 p.m.
Nick Vandervegt, 17, spotted the lights on his way home from work and called his father, Leroy, 50. The elder Vandervegt grabbed his camera, ran outside and looked up. He began filming. He also saw three red lights. Aliens? Maybe.
“I don’t know what they are,” Leroy Vandervegt said. “All I know is that I had no idea what it is. It wasn’t a satellite, it wasn’t an airplane, and it wasn’t a helicopter.”
The unblinking lights made no sound and seemed to hover in the sky while moving slowly from southwest to southeast, Leroy Vandervegt said. The lights remained in a triangular shape, but the type of triangle changed from equilateral to isosceles to scalene.
Then the triangle began moving toward the northeastern sky when one light went out or zoomed away. The remaining two lights “just turned off and were gone,” the father said. Sarah Kuta, Daily Camera
