The proprietor of an all-night bowling alley, was having coffee
with two police officers when he spotted an object through the
front window of his place. All three rushed out to the parking
lot to observe what they described as a large flattened sphere
or possibly football-shaped object, with a brilliant light
shining upward from the top and a dimmer light shining down from
the underside. The dawn light was such that the object was
visible by reflected light even though the object's beams were
discernible. It appeared at first to be hovering almost
motionless at a few hundred feet above ground, and all three
felt it lay about over Hwy. 5. Their estimates of size varied
from a diameter of maybe 50 feet to about 100 ft. It was
silent, and the three men all emphasized to me that the quiet
morning would have permitted hearing any kind of conventional
aircraft engines. The object moved southward along the highway
by about a quarter of a mile or so. At about that juncture, it
began to accelerate, and moved off almost horizontally, passing
out of sight to the south in an additional time estimated at
about 10-20 seconds.

At about 9:50a.m., officers and airmen at what was then called

over the site. Ten minutes later, a test pilot sighted an object
moving against the wind at an estimated 200 mph. Two hours
later, base technicians spotted another object, and at 4:00 in
the afternoon, an F-51 pilot flying at 20,000 feet spotted an
object above that altitude.
EDWARDS AFB

(McDonald)
Two Askania cameramen on the test rangemen observed a UFO and
obtained a number (30) of photos of it. James D. Bittick
and John R. Gettys, Jr. spotted the domed-disc UFO just
as they reached Askania #4 site at Edwards, a bit before 8:00
a.m. that day. Bittick estimated that the object lay about a
mile away when they got the first shot, though when first seen
he put it at no more than 500 yards off. He and Gettys both said
it had a golden color, looked somewhat like an inverted plate
with a dome on top, and had square holes or panels around the
dome. Gettys thought that the holes were circular not square.
It was moving away from them, seemed to glow with its own
luminosity, and had a hazy, indistinct halo around its rim, both
mentioned. The photos were shortly taken by Base military
authorities and were never seen again by the men. In a
session later that day, Bittick and Carson were informed that
they had seen a weather balloon distorted by the desert
atmospheric effects, an interpretation that neither of them
accepted since, as they stated to me(McDonald), they saw weather
balloons being released frequently there and knew what balloons
looked like.

appearance of a disc-shaped UFO.
"The craft approached silently from the east at approximately 50
to 60 miles per hour, 75 yards above ground and 100 yards to the
northeast, appearing over a low rise adjacent to our location.
As I approached this point, the craft stopped directly in front
of me, apparently 50 yards above and 30 yards out. The craft was
60 to 70 feet (18 to 21 meters) wide, and 20 to 25 feet (6 to 7
meters), appearing cigar-shaped from the edge and as a thick
disc from below. It was gunmetal-gray, metallic, with a
brilliant blue-green glow emanating (from) around its rounded
outer edge. There were no wings, windows, doors, antennae or any
other appendages at all on the craft. Most remarkably, the craft
made no sound at all. It was completely silent during the whole
event, which lasted about four minutes.

When it came toward them, the trio "could see that this thing
was MASSIVE, and it had three huge white lights that were almost

fly right over us, but instead it turned up so that the huge
white lights were vertical, did a 180-degree turn, and zipped

to the left (north). I tried to get my daughter's attention when
it started glowing brightly... I was in shock when it became
obvious that its trajectory was going to be right over my
head...as it got close, I expected it to get louder. Instead,
all noise stopped for the duration. It was absolutely silent,
although I did hear a faint rumble. I would approximate its
level-off at at least 2 miles east of me, and it disappeared
into the darkness at about 2 miles west of me (heading for Mount
Diablo). As it passed directly overhead, its blackness
silhouetted against the background ambience for about 75
seconds. Long enough to see plainly a cross shape, with the head
portion equal to the foot portion, arms shorter...the blackness
seemd to have a luminescense about it. Its blackness was very
distinct and clear, though I had a feeling there was more than I
was seeing--a black-colored energy source on the bottom of an
egg-shaped object...Its apparent size was about the size of a
Lincoln's head penny held at more than arm's length. Its course
was more than straight--it was perfect. The entire sighting

Late on Saturday evening two college students were driving north

north of Nicolaus, 32 miles north of Sacramento and about twenty
miles west of Beale Air Force Base. According to one student,
"Out in the middle of empty dark farmland," they "spotted a
triangular configuration of lights or a craft well up in the
sky. The triangular craft had a glaring red light in the middle,
which pulsed irregularly." Suddenly, the UFO "dropped much lower
in the sky, to about 500 feet elevation (altitude) and moved
sideways from east of the highway (near the Feather River) to
over the highway. It suddenly accelerated to jet fighter speed
and proceeded horizontally to a position just west of the
highway where it came to a sudden halt and hovered."
They estimated the size of the UFO to be "as big as a house,"
adding that "Its surface structure was dark. Then suddenly the
craft sent down a greenish glowing beam from the bottom toward
the ground. Sparkling particles could be seen swirling in this
column of green light. Just as suddenly the light beam went out,
and the delta craft departed."

Los Angeles. As she neared the ridgeline near Acton, she
"noticed on my left a large object that was streaking to earth,
much like you would expect a falling star--but this was VERY
large. Also, I noticed two streams of fire out the back side.
The trajectory was towards Elizabeth Lake, or to the north and
west of where I was. It was coming down very rapidly, not like
an object falling, but possibly like a meteor or an aircraft
with some speed behind it." The object disappeared behind the
hills to the northwest.

At 7:20 p.m., many persons went outdoors to investigate
either (a) the unusual barking of neighborhood dogs, or (b) a
disturbing and unusual sound. Soon many persons up and down
several streets were observing an object round in planform,
estimated at perhaps 50-60 feet in diameter, moving slowly
towards the east northeast at an altitude put by most witnesses
as perhaps 300 feet. Glowing ports or panels lay around its
upper perimeter and "jet-like" orange-red flames or something
resembling flames emanated from a number of sources on the
undersurface.

vanished completely...It has been suggested to me that I saw a

I saw was too big and too low. There was also no reddish glow to
indicate something burning in re-entry. This seemed to have a
very craft-like form of movement."

(RDUP12/8/96)
At approximately 8:40 p.m., a very large UFO crossed the
shoreline at Silver Strand Boulevard, crossed San Diego Bay,
passed over Chula Vista and then downtown San Diego.
According to eyewitness Tom Sanders, "My girlfriend and I were
standing outside my friend's house at approximately 8:40 p.m. We
had been glancing at the sky for a matter of seconds before we
saw 6 or 7 dim white lights in a U- or V-shaped pattern heading
southeast from over the westward Pacific Ocean. As the lights
came closer to being overhead, they tilted (banked) to their
right side and began to move more southward. At the same time,
the lights veered over a small plane that was quite high itself.
The size of the area of the lights seemed to be at least six or
seven times the size (wingspan) of the plane," he added. "It was
traveling at over at least twice the speed of the plane, heading
in the opposite direction (south). Shortly after it passed the
plane, the lights in sync rolled completely over and back to
their original sequence, without changing direction. The lights
became clearer as they got further away and then slowly
vanished. There wasn't any sound at all. But the object was
quite a distance away and above us. This wasn't a small UFO--it
was way bigger than two or three of the planes I have ever seen
or heard of put together. The area of the lights was
approximately half the size of the moon from our visual point of
view."

"My wife and I observed a very bright white light at about 60
degrees south. Through binoculars we could not make out a
defined sharp edge--it looked fuzzy at the edges. The object was
drifting slowly and linearly in an easterly direction. Height
could have been anywhere from 30,000 to 60,000 feet but
luminosity was very high. Conditions were clear and excellent
visibility due to low humidity. About 10 or 15 minutes after
sunset, the intensity instantaneously diminished to where it was
barely visible as a dot in the clear but darkening sky."

A man out walking at 1:30 p.m. looked up and spotted seven white
lights hovering in the clear blue sky. He described them as "a
cluster of about seven yellowish-white lights hanging motionless
in the air a good distance away. They were arranged like seven
coins might look in your hand, some overlapping the others."
Near the lights the witness saw "a deep red light that was very
active and bounced around a lot. It also had a silver sheen to
it. Then it started moving, still bouncing, towards me."
The red-and-silver UFO "got to within a block" of the witness.
At that distance, it seemed "to be about the size of a baseball.
At that point, I got very nervous. I wasn't ready for any
spaceship rides." The red-and-silver UFO zipped away, and the
lights winked out at about 1:45 p.m. Sonoma is on Highway 12,
just north of San Pablo Bay and twenty miles west of Travis Air

to a light-colored hull. The object traveled slowly, with no
audible noise, and she was positive it was neither a kite nor a
weather balloon."
"At 8:30 p.m., on the same day, other residents including city
communications operator William E. Smith, witnessed a revolving
wheel-like object, complete with shiny spokes, sailing above
Lockheed Air Terminal in Burbank, four miles (7 kilometers)

At 9:17 p.m. PDT, seven people were relaxing on a back patio in
Victorville, California, in the desert not far from Edwards Air
Force Base, when they spotted what they thought was a meteor
hurtling into Earth's atmosphere. According to the homeowner, a
certified pilot instructor, the event was witnessed by his wife,
himself and five other guests. He said, "I noticed what looked
like a shooting star except brighter and without a tail streak."
The UFO was speeding "across the southern sky in a northward
direction." He described the UFO as "bright white in the center
and a blue haze along the outer portion giving it a metallic
look." All at once, the object "came to a dead stop" and hovered
in the sky north of their house. It remained motionless for two
seconds and then resumed its flight, "going in the same
direction (north) at its original speed."
