I was driving back from Flagstaff around 11:40 PM when I noticed three steady white lights in a perfect triangle formation, maybe 500 feet up. I pulled over and killed my engine. No sound whatsoever — not even wind noise from a craft that size. It just hung there, perfectly still. After about 12 minutes it accelerated horizontally at a speed I can only describe as instantaneous. Left a faint orange trail that dissipated in seconds. I'm a private pilot with 400 flight hours and I have no explanation for what I saw.

I drove that same stretch last month and noticed my GPS going haywire around mile marker 233. Never connected it until now.
The triangular formation matches at least four other reports filed with MUFON in the same county this year. Something is going on out there.
