Of course you are probably all aware that when asked not to think of a black cat, we all do. The reason for this is that our minds work in pictures, and in order to 'not' think of something we must 'first' recall our mind's eye picture of it to then discard it. So if you've thought of a black triangle and a black cat, you should be with me so far. This cognitive psychology is relevant to UFO research when reading or hearing about UFO sightings. We begin to build a scene in our minds-eye using preconceived 'pictures' of UFOs, then altering these scenes and pictures as we begin to learn more from the description of the sightings. Over the last decade UFO researchers have been replacing their minds-eye pictures of Black Triangle UFOs with triangular shaped military aircraft. In doing so this aspect of UFO research is too readily being dismissed and not being given its fair share of ufological air-time. Project Flying Triangle was founded during the early 90's by Omar Fowler, the late Victor Kean and the late Ron West. The purpose of this project was to extract the Flying Triangle phenomenon from the more general UFO reports, and the hub of these triangle reports were from Suffolk, Essex and Kent along the east coast. I was fortunate enough in early 1998 to be drafted into the project and carry out field research and attempt to gain first-hand experience of the phenomenon. Using the database of sightings, which contained literally thousands of times and locations, we were able to identify a number of hot-spot locations to carry out this research.
