As you drive across the Canadian Prairie and enter into Alberta you suddenly drop several hundred feet into the 'other worldly' Drumheller Valley. These are the Badlands of Alberta -- and eventually link up with the similar looking Montana Badlands. Ours is the valley of the dinosaurs; where many a dinosaur bone or tooth can be found--we even have the World's largest Dinosaur Museum (the Royal Tyrell) in our town of Drumheller, Alberta
On a warm August evening back in 1996 two of my sons, a son of a friend and I were lying on a trampoline in our back yard counting shooting stars. We were up to about 25 or so for the hour we had been laying there with our blankets and pillows when from the left of our view (south) above the valley wall a slow-moving and silent triangular object began to blot-out stars. I could not judge its size but it certainly covered enough of the night's sky to be noticed. It may have been the size of a commercial jet liner in width, but judging by its speed, it was being kept aloft by some method other than 'lift' as it was travelling so slowly, effortlessly and noiselessly. If it was a high-flying object that only appeared to be flying slowly due to its distance from the viewer, it would have been unimaginably massive. Either way this was a fantastic thing to witness
I decided to test my vision (and sanity) by asking my 5-year old son (the other having fallen asleep by now) if he could see anything moving in the sky. He confirmed that by saying -- and I'll never forget, "Yes, a trinangle (sic)." I then asked him if it had any lights and he too confirmed them as 'orange' (on the corners) I would have chosen 'amber' but he was 5. I also confirmed with our friends' son that he too was witnessing that which we were seeing. The object continued to fly slowly across our field of view before disappearing behind the north wall of the valley.
I was particularly excited as I had read of these triangles before. I took the children inside the house and told my wife and friends that we had seen a UFO. I then asked them to wait while I went downstairs to retrieve the book that I had read about very similar occurrences of flying triangles. I brought the book upstairs, found the specific passage that I recalled and their jaws dropped as they listened to a report that almost exactly matched our experience. The book was Mysterious Valley by Christopher O'Brien. Now we have two mysterious valleys...
