what i saw was what looked like 3 stars...(the only way to explain them) they were as high as stars and lights in the sky, so...anyway, there were 3 lights each representing the corners of a triangle. then they merged together into one point in the middle of the triangle. just as i thought..."wtf did i just see?" they did the exact same thing. i waited for it to happen again, but it didn't. what do u think it could be?(remember it looked like stars doing this) or have u had a similar sighting?

I believe that I saw one. I was at a stoplight coming home from work and it was about 7:20 pm, somewhere around there. No clouds in the sky and it was still light outside (it was about a month ago). I saw something that otherwise I would've dismissed as a plane, it had like two or three bright white lights on it and it appeared, went a very short ways very fast and disappeared.

Don't be too critical of people who try to figure out what it was. In my experience, it can be very dificult to identify what someone saw because of insufficient information or inaccurate reporting. I would need to ask you more questions like:
1) What time of day?
2) What azimuth and altitude? When you say "high," what do you mean? And how can you tell how high a point of light is?
3) Was there any sound?
4) Were there other witnesses?
5) Where were you and what were you doing at the time?
6) How long did this take?
7) How long ago did this happen?
There might be other questions depending on the answers to those. I have been able to solve some of these kinds of questions, but based on people's descriptions and memory, it can be very difficult.
The one thing a person should not do, but people do it all the time, is jump immediately to the most extraordinary explanation possible when a prosaic one is not immediately available. E-mail for further inquiry, if you like.
And yes, I saw something once that was fairly similar, although probably not caused by the same thing. I could see how easily someone else might have left the scene with a mystery that would never get solved, but I stuck around to figure it out. If I gave you a detailed description of it, you would probably never guess. Hey, I think I will. I'll post it as a question, here.

1. Highly-unlikely, but meteors. They move pretty fast.
2. A high-flying plane (with wing/tail lights - 3 of them) and either the lights changed or some atmostpheric disturbance made it appear as if the lights converged. The most likely possibility.
3. Any other sort of atmospheric disturbance that created a mirage (it happens easily over the course of a couple hundred feet on roads, why not over the course of miles above the earth). The next-most likely possibility.
4. The space station is sometimes visible on clear nights. But it generally appears as one point of light, and usually you need some magnification to see it. Not likely at all, but a possibility.
5. You imagined it, either through physically means, or physcological. No offense, but 10,000x more likely than a extraterrestrial UFO.
6. High flying insects (fireflys) - unlikely to have a smooth motion, and behave in this way, but more likely than an extraterrestrial UFO.
7. UFO - from an intelligent extraterrestrial source - but this is the most unlikely possiblity, based on the fact that all the others have been proven for other encounters, but this.

I was camping one night me and three of my friends.2 of them went wondering off so tra and I kicked back and looked at the stars. We probably bullshited for 10 or 15 minutes never taking our eyes off of the stars.And then a star that we both saw just hanging up there like the rest Suddenly bolted across the sky. I dont think that humans have an aircraft that can hover like a star for 10 minutes and shot across the sky at a rate of speed beyond our human capabilities.It was in the center of the sky and in about 10 sec. it had vanished out of sight. Something is out there.But what is it??? I dont care what ppl think the thing that i saw was not ours!!!!

I think it was likely that...
you had a hallucination
you're eyes were deceiving you (they might have been tired and/or strained fromlooking so high up)
an atmospheric disturbance or atmospheric turbulence caused an illusion
it was a smaller version of the same "forces" that cause the Northern Lights. some extremely charged particles that only seemed far away got attracted to each other
some other scientific happening
However, against your beliefs, I do not believe in extraterrestrial powers.

yeah i have seen one. but mine was different. i was an oval shaped ship and was glowing bright white and move really fast in angles.
my guess is that in the space between the 3 stars it was dark, like you didn't see the sky behind it? i'm guessing after you saw the two side stars join the middle one, the object/ship moved straight up into space.
now if you want to see something real scary you should look up flying humanoids around mexico.
be happy you didn't get abducted. you could have gotten a probe up your booty. >_<

Yes ~ Why not ~ I have seen UFO(s) & other paranormal objects as well as other people ~ I have my stories on my blog, and I have other people stories added linked to my blog.
I have never seen aliens ~ I believe in Jinns, which can transform into ET/Aliens & other things. If you would like to read more about Jinns as well, come to my blog.
Also, whenever you have time, look at ~ UFO Contactee ~ James Gilliland talking to Art Bell from Coast to Coast Radio~ Video ~ Part 1-12 ? I will add a link to part 3, which goes right into details.
I hope that I was helpful with my sources.

I have never seen a UFO. What you describe could be some kind of illusion, I suspect this is the case.

there are different accounts about different types of UFOs people have seen. There is no one type only. It is dificult to say, from the description you give
