Date:

Number

Number

Shape
of objects: Oval.
Full
Description of event/sighting: Driving from home in Wrightwood, CA to work at
George AFB in a 2-door sedan with 2 co-workers eastbound on Hwy 18 between
Sheep Creek Rd and Hwy 395 near Phelan, CA.
Myself
and other witnesses were F4-Phantom Weapons Control Technicians in the USAF. My
eastbound view was of mountains on horizon with first glow of sunrise behind
mountains.
Weather
calm and completely clear. 1st large oval rises up from directly behind
mountains due east from me.
Motion
is slow, floating like a blimp or balloon. At first I thought it was a large
blimp with a mirror-like exterior reflecting the sunlight (sun was below the
eastern horizon during the entire encounter), object was extremely bright, yet
had a distinct oval outline.
After
rising a few degrees above mountains object stopped all motion. Total time to
rise up was about 2 minutes. Second identical object then began to rise just to
the left of the first object.
Second
object moved identically to first, then stopped next to first at equal
altitude. Third identical looking object then began to rise just to right of
first object, at same slow rate, until it was at equal altitude with other 2
objects.
All
three objects remained still for about 2 more minutes. Very curious sight at
this time, but all witnesses still thought objects were blimps.
Right-most
object then begins to rise slowly above others, stops completely, then moves
from a complete stop to a point slightly above the horizon almost directly due
south of us (visible out the right side of the car) in about 2 or 3 seconds
then comes to a complete stop again.
No
acceleration or deceleration was apparent. Middle object then does exactly the
same, stopping next to the other above the southern horizon. Third object then
repeats the same exact maneuver.
When
all 3 were stopped hovering next to each other then all 3 objects slowly
descended towards the ground until disappearing on the southern horizon.
Objects
retained their extreme brightness throughout the entire encounter, even when in
a position near the southern horizon where there was no sunlight to reflect in
my direction.
All
witnesses agreed with each other not to speak of the sighting due both to fear
of ridicule, and due to the fact that all of us were under orders to speak of
any potential UFO sightings only to our commanding officer (to my knowledge all
AF personnel, including myself and the witnesses, at the time were required to
sign a statement acknowledging the order upon enlisting in the AF).
