Who saw a UFO?

I saw one when I was a kid, turned out to be a plane with an add scrolling under its wings but it was so high it was unreadable and made it look like it was rotating, made the local newspaper! Recently (about 6 years ago) I was in my backyard looking straight up on a clear moonless night enjoying the limited stars we get to see as city dwellers. I see something moving that is only blocking the stars, but it has no discernable shape but it has 3 very dim lights (starlike dim) on it like a triangle. Military trained me to focus on some fixed point and look for peripheral movement around it when its dark (surveillance) and that's the only way I could pick it out. I yell to my kid to bring my 15X80 binos but he cant find them. I just kept watching it as I didnt think I could pick it out again if I went inside to get them. I watched it for about 3 minutes just 'orbiting' but it was very high. If you extended your hand above your head and took 2 fingers you could have covered up the 'orbit' that this thing was doing. It wasn't spinning but was just kinda pivoting around a central point. I live under a flight path of a major airport, planes landing every 10 minutes during rush hour so it had to be very high to not interfere with the glide path of all these commercial planes. Sounds corny but the internet already describes this subsonic 'craft' as the TR-3A "Black Manta". Even with 'billions and billions of stars" out there the physics of a planet to support life as we know it are pretty slim due to: radiation, proximity of neighboring stars and their maturity, massive gravitational differences, mineral content of these rocky planets, even the existence of radioactive matter and the geological dynamics of a habitable planet really cut the odds down. They may be out there but its no Star Trek.
