Nevada Triangle Overflight Pattern 1990

Beginning in December 1990, a sustained wave of large triangular craft sightings unfolded along Nevada's Interstate 15 corridor and in the vicinity of the Nevada Test Site and Nellis Range Complex. Nevada Highway Patrol officers filed multiple official incident reports. The tiny town of Rachel, Nevada — closest civilian community to the classified test ranges — became a hub for witnesses as locals and travelers on Highway 375 (later designated the 'Extraterrestrial Highway') reported craft that dwarfed any known aircraft, hovering silently over the desert or moving slowly without sound. Researcher Glenn Campbell relocated to Rachel in 1993 to document the ongoing sightings. Multiple witnesses including military dependents, truckers, and civilians described near-identical triangular craft with three equally spaced lights and a central glow. The sightings were contemporaneous with the wider national triangle wave being documented by NIDS (National Institute for Discovery Science). A classified USAF assessment connected the Nevada sightings to the broader national pattern rather than explaining them as classified USAF test aircraft, though the USAF's official public position maintained the opposite.
