1971-09-01 - FREEWAY BY AIR FORCE BASE, CA - Cigar

FLARE MOVED ALONG HILLTOP AND TURNED INTO A CIGAR 5 STORY SHIP

WE WERE TRAVELING NORTH ON FREEWAY 4 AM AND SAW ON THE HILLTOP COMING TOWARD THE FREEWAY A BRIGHT RED FLARE. NOT SURE WHY IT WOULD BE THERE OR WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN IT REACHED THE FREEWAY BECAUSE THE HILL ENDED AT THE FREEWAY WE WATCHED IT AS WE DROVE THEN IT REACHED THE EDGE OF THE HILL AND THE FLARE DISAPPEARED AND A 4 OR 5 STORY CIGAR SHAPED SHIP STOOD STRAIGHT UP AT THE TOP OF THE HILL. IT GLOWED REDDISH GOLD WITH NOT APPREANT LIGHT SOURCE. IT STOOD THERE WITH NO MOTION AND NO SOUND FOR SEVERAL SECONDS THEN SHOT STRAIGHT UP AND OUT OF SIGHT WITHIN SECONDS. I WANTED MY HUSBAND TO PULL OVER AND SEE IF ANYONE WOULD STOP SO WE COULD SEE IF ANYONE ELSE SAW WHAT WE SAW. HE WOULD NOT. HE DID NOT ACT SCARED BUT REFUSED TO STOP.


((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date of incident is approximate. We spoke briefly via telephone with the party who submitted the report, and she sounds to us to be a quite serious-minded person. She is going to attempt to determine the U. S. Air Force base she and her husband were near, at the time of the sighting. PD))
