Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.
I interviewed both ladies who witnessed the sighting
and below are two links, one for Sylia's interview and the other for Connie. I
can't thank the two ladies enough for taking the time with me on the telephone.
Also, I must apologize to Sylvia for calling her Connie several times during
the interview. My brain was out in space.

Full Description of event/sighting: Hi Brian, my
husband and I sent you our sighting report of 12 white orbs that we saw and
photographed over Los Banos, California on August 28, 2005, which you posted.
You have asked for older reports so I am attaching a sighting my girlfriend and
I had in 1969 which involved two jets chasing after a UFO spotted near the
Fresno, CA Airport.
Clovis California, June, 1969 - It was about 10:00
p.m. on a warm clear evening, mid June of 1969. I had just graduated from High
School and my best friend and I were sitting outside my home enjoying the clear
dark sky and brilliantly shining stars.
On a whim, we decided that we wanted to go to a
late-night market in Fresno, about five miles away and buy some magazines to
read. We got into my car and began to drive south to a shopping center near the
Fresno Airport.
Along the way we decided to take a short cut on a
small road adjacent to the airport which was flanked by an open field. We
turned right onto the small two lane road and were now driving along side the
field and which was several hundred feet away from the fenced area near the end
of the airport runway, which we could see clearly, including buildings and
planes of the local Air National Guard.
There were no street lights and the road was dark with
no traffic, except for us. As we drove by we could see that most of the airport
activities had stopped for the evening, which was normal, as no aircraft landed
or took off from there at that time of night.
We continued down the road talking, when I noticed my
friend leaning forward in the passenger seat staring up at something in the
sky. She motioned to me to look out my driver's side window saying, "what
is that?"
I looked out the window and saw an intense white
strobing light hovering above, apparently keeping pace with my car. I slowed
down and it continued to follow at the same pace. As our windows were down, we
most certainly would have heard an engine, was it a plane, but it made no noise
at all.
Not knowing what we were seeing, I pulled over,
stopped the car and we both got out to take a better look. We were mesmerized
by the intense white light of the object which now appeared diamond shaped and
strobing quickly as it hovered above us.
It was hard to estimate it’s altitude and size, but we
guessed at arms length it would have been the size of a basketball. By now two
other cars had come up behind us and had pulled off the road to look as well.
Within moments the object started to move away from us, and began to pick up
speed. All of a sudden we heard the roar of jet engines and looked up to see two
military jets lifting off the runway in hot pursuit of this object.
The jets passed directly over us, so close that we
could see the landing gear retract. We watched as the jets tried to close on
the object. We were in a flat area of land and we could clearly see the object
and jets streaking away from us heading due west.
As the jets began to close on the object, the object
slowed and appeared to hover over the jets as if teasing them, and then it made
an incredible 90 degree turn with several jerking, zigzag movements and shot
off at tremendous speed to the south directly over downtown Fresno.
The jets were left in its wake. We immediately jumped
back into the car and decided to head home to tell our families what we had
just witnessed.
It was about 10:45 p.m. when we reached the main
intersection of town where we were stopped waiting the signal light to change.
Suddenly all of the signal lights, and street lights started flashing on and
off, including the caution lights at the train tracks which were directly in
front of us beyond the intersection.
A large bolt of electricity shot down a power line
near the road, arcing and snapping until it got to the end and dissipated. We
sat there watching these lights flashing on and off around us for about 3 - 4
minutes and then they all stopped and the signal turned green.
We looked at each other and I floored it through the
intersection and didn't let off the gas until we got to my friends home only a
few blocks away.
When we pulled up to her house, some of the neighbors
were all outside talking excitedly about what had just happened with the lights
in the neighborhood. Of course they asked us if we saw it and we told them that
we had witnessed that, and more.
Wanting to confirm what we had seen earlier, we ran
inside the house to phone the airport. Incredibly, the call was answered by a
man in the control tower.
I told him we had observed something in the sky close
to the airport less than an hour ago and asked him if two National Guard jets
had taken off to check it out.
I was told point-blank that no planes had taken off at
all that night. I asked him again, if he was sure, and he told me once again
that no planes had taken off.
We knew we weren't going to get any further with him
and we also knew he had to be lying as we saw the jets with our own eyes and
had close enough to read the numbers on the planes.
We told our families about what we had seen and
received polite, yet insincere statements like, "wow that must have been
something". But we knew they didn't believe us.
There was nothing in the local news the next day about
a strange object in the sky or equally strange power surge and nothing was ever
said about it again, except between my friend and me.
We've recounted that night many times over the years,
even up to this day. We know what we saw; we know what happened.
I interviewed both ladies who witnessed the sighting
and below are two links, one for Sylia's interview and the other for Connie. I
can't thank the two ladies enough for taking the time with me on the telephone.
Also, I must apologize to Sylvia for calling her Connie several times during
the interview. My brain was out in space.
