Additional
Information:
Hi Brian, I am 53 and the other two witnesses
were my son 14 and my friend 27. It was a clear calm Sunday night at 9:00 p.m.
on the date I indicated in my report. I am a (removed by Brian Vike) for a
national department of agriculture organization. I have never had an interest
in UFO's or have taken the reports seriously. We had just returned from a
weekend in Palm Springs CA.
We were standing
outside my home talking and suddenly moving into our vision over the roof tops
a large glowing ball came into view. None of us had ever seen anything like it
before.
It was not at a high
altitude in my opinion. I travel in airplanes weekly, and I estimate the object
at first glance was 3000-5000 feet in the air. It "glowed" and was a
yellow white color. It seemed to move slowly almost floating and my first
thought was that it was a large balloon with a light of some sort inside.
That dispelled when
the object moved very quickly south and seemed to gain altitude. It moved much
faster than any airplane or helicopter I have ever observed.
There was no trail or
vapor of any sort behind the object as it moved. In a span of a few seconds it
traveled approximately 5 miles. (I am 6' tall, and if I hold my arms up and
pointed to the sky at a 45 degree angle with both arms in opposite directions,
that is how far and fast it moved in 5 seconds or less!)
The object then
seemed to hover again in the distance, and began to "drip" a fire
like substance or pieces of itself. It then just disappeared. The entire
experience was about 20 seconds. The only other phenomenon was that immediately
afterward the air around us had an acrid type of odor, which dissipated very
quickly.
We were astonished
and I did not report it, but immediately listened to the news etc., to see if
any other reports came in, but nothing. I had told my parents about the
sighting and several days later she mailed me a newspaper report from The San
Gabriel Tribune which spoke of these sightings earlier in January than mine and
the article also mentioned you and your organization. This prompted me to
contact you.
I hope this helps and
am curious if you could explain this if there is some answer.
Thank you to the
witness for the very interesting report.
