Also flight characteristics listed below as noted by Marler in his book 'Triangular UFOs: An Estimate of the Situation' (link has now been deleted but originally sourced by Bigfootgurl).
Thought all of Bob Pratt's UFO research had been removed from the internet but apparently not - below is a nice collection of 'flying triangle' reports from around the globe collated from news sources, CUFOS / MUFON archives and personal interviews.
Apparently Bob was initially sceptical but came to 'believe in UFOs' after interviewing over 60 witnesses in one week - since then he travelled across the U.S. and Canada and to countries like Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Puerto Rico, Peru, Uruguay, Japan and the Philippines interviewing over 2000 UFO witnesses (he went to Brazil 14 times and concluded that UFO encounters there were 'often more hostile and harmful than anywhere else in the world').

Not all triangle reports appear to describe similar appearance either - this one was said to have a big hole in it.
British researcher Omar Fowler also conducted some really interesting work on triangular UFOs and there's a link to some of his findings below.

Quote:This is a collection of nearly two hundred sightings of triangular, diamond or boomerang-shaped objects that I put together in 1990 in cooperation with the Belgian UFO research group SOBEPS.
For some years I had believed that huge triangular UFOs were being seen rather often in the United States and other countries, but it was only when the Belgian flap occurred that I decided to see how many other cases I could find. The result was the list below.
The majority of the reports are from newspaper stories, most of them printed in the UFO Newsclipping Service. I also found a number of triangular reports in newspaper stories published in South America that were translated and passed on to me by Jane Thomas Guma. Jane, then living in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and now living in Glendale, Arizona, shared this information with a number of other researchers in the United States as well.
Other sources for the reports below include the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS), the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), and my own investigations (Pratt). In this list, if the country is not given, the incident occurred in the United States. In American sightings, references to “football field" size means roughly 140 yards in length and about 70 in width (the playing field is actually 100 yards long and 53 wide, but end zones and sidelines are included in this description.)
This compilation is not meant to be a record of all triangular sightings during these years. No one knows how many there have been. This list is offered only as an indication of what has been happening. It is very possible that many more such sightings were made that were not reported to the publications and organizations that were available to me.

Quote:Jacksonville / Atlantic Ocean - October 27th, 1967:
• "Suddenly, a soft green light was all over our cockpit. At the very instant of collision, ...the craft made an unbanked 180 degree turn, remained ahead for a few seconds and then took off and disappeared like a flash bulb. At least two of the witnesses agreed that the huge object was a gray equilateral triangle, each side at least 200 feet long and twenty feet thick. Its outer edges were very smooth and sharply defined (with no rivets, doors, antennae, windows, etc.) while at its center there was a triangular-shaped opening or hole large enough to fly through. It flew with one side directly forward".

Quote:'THE FLYING TRIANGLE MYSTERY"
The first of a two-part report detailing sightings of the mysterious "Flying Triangles", many outside the United States, as authored and complied by Omar Fowler, founder of the Phenomenon Research Association in DerbyShire, United Kingdom. This compilation looks at flying triangle sightings around the world and brings to our attention many sightings which have taken place over England.
Omar Fowler, a researcher of the UFO phenomenon for over 30 years, is Director of "The Flying Saucer Review"
