Triangular object cruzes north slowely along the 5 freeway in San Clemente CA( 10/15/02)
at about 9:45pm i saw a light out in the distance. My friend and i were smoking a cig in the parking of a church up on a huge hill about 200 feet above, 50feet inland of the 5 freeway. To the west was the ocean about 1 mile away. Previous to the object (or light)catching my eye, I was facing the south(along the 5 freeway), My friend was facing north. clear sky, not one cloud. So anyway--then a bright yellow/gold light appears south of our position. I grew up in this town and it only has one freeway, so i know every inch of the 5 in SC. My best guess would place the object at first sight--about 1.5 miles south of the church. I told my friend to look at it because it was very bright and rather unusual for a copper to be flying so low at 10pm. SC goes to sleep at 10pm-the city is dead till morrning. SO we kept watching the light. After 3-4 min. we agreed that the light was moving North directly toward our position up on the hill. NOW IS THE MOST INTERESTING PART---what ever this flying object was. It took it 15 min to fly from south of MISTY RIDGE( the next huge hill south)To directly over our heads (1.5 miles away). when the object passed over our position on the hill, the thing must have been moving less than 25mph. It just appeared out of nowhere--cruzed at 15mph along the 5 freeway, went over our heads, and just kept on going. It made no sound--we would have known if it was a copper. I'm assuming that the craft was all black- because i could only see three gold lights in a triangle shape. FOR REAL---IT MADE NO SOUND--not even the sound of the freeway could silence a copper flying right over our heads. During the sighting the object was low in altitude. i'd say- 300 feet. when the object flew over our heads it was NOT far away(we were up on a huge hill)--I'm suprised that I couldn't see the body of the craft. i tried to make out the actual shape but i just couldn't see the body (black/on black sky). It just looked like 3 bright lights in a triangle formation. I watched t! he first 3 seasons of the X-files--so i asked my friend some questions. We experienced no communication with the object. we felt no loss of time. we didn't feel sick/nauscious. we saw it--it most likely saw us--it flew by. That's my story. OH YA- SC is the southern edge of orange county--right on the border of CAMP PENALTIN and the TRW facility (trw-where the military worked on laszer guidence systems). My former highschool is located just 2 miles from the TRW facility. back in 1997-98, at night we would drive to a place where we could see the TRW plant and watch the laser fights. NO JOKE- they were having lazer gun fights out there on the base. I saw all colors of little streeks zipping back and forth. looked like a water gun fight.
