2006-01-01 - Milligan, CA - Diamond

Dozens of spacecraft strobing white lights with one red (appearing diamond shaped) headed to southwest.

Around 10:30 p.m. on January 1, 2006, I awoke from a nap while my friend was driving back to California. We had been in Arizona to bring in the New Year. We were driving on Hwy 62 West about 2 miles from the 177 when I noticed a strange object with strobing lights appear to the North. At first, I thought it might be an airplane, but then, it did a complete backflip. I told my friends there was a spaceship beside us. The object moved at such a high rate of speed and then would suddenly stop or make circles. When we got to the 177, there is a 3 way intersection and we decided to stop. We watched the object for a minute or two and my friend noticed another one to the southeast. Amazed, we watched. My friend got out to relieve himself when he told me to get out. As I got out, I noticed one directly above our heads. The were 4 lights on the underbelly of the craft. There was one red and 3 white strobing lights seeming to make a diamond shaped pattern. The craft hovered there for about 15 seconds or so and propelled forward. We then looked to the southeast and saw 10 more or so more objects moving toward the southwest in no particular formation.

There were clouds in the sky because we really couldn't see the stars that well, but these objects were flying below the cloud layer. We stayed parked there for about 30 minutes with the lights off. There were a handful of other cars on the highway so there were no distractions from other headlights. We saw probably 25-50 aircraft that night while we were parked. Truly amazing. There was so much activity. Before we started driving again we saw a huge dark cloud directly above us. It was flashing a huge light from inside the cloud. The object seemed to be going in the same direction as the other aircraft to the southwest. I will send a map of the area along with a drawing of the aircraft.
