According to the episode description, in July 1981 Harris was on Vultures Row, the viewing balcony on the island of USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, in the Puerto Rico operating area when a triangle 'bigger than a warship', black underneath and mirror-bright on top, with red, blue and green corner lights and a large amber centre light, hovered motionless over a plane-guard ship that was under way.Ricky Harris's triangle over the Eisenhower battle group (1981)firsthandSourced, unconfirmedRicky Harris
